SMDJ160A - LITTELFUSE

SMDJ160A Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for SMDJ160A?
  The recommended land pattern for SMDJ160A is a rectangular pad with a minimum size of 2.5mm x 1.5mm, with a 0.5mm radius corner and a 0.3mm solder mask clearance.
• Can I use SMDJ160A in a high-temperature application?
  Yes, SMDJ160A is rated for operation up to 150°C, but it's recommended to derate the component's current rating by 1.5% per degree Celsius above 125°C to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I handle the SMDJ160A during assembly to prevent damage?
  Handle SMDJ160A by the body only, avoiding touching the leads or the glass passivation layer. Use a vacuum pickup or tweezers to handle the component, and avoid bending or flexing the leads during assembly.
• What is the recommended soldering profile for SMDJ160A?
  The recommended soldering profile for SMDJ160A is a peak temperature of 260°C, with a dwell time of 10-30 seconds above 220°C. Avoid using a soldering iron with a temperature above 350°C.
• Can I use SMDJ160A in a high-vibration application?
  Yes, SMDJ160A is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10g, but it's recommended to secure the component to the PCB using a suitable adhesive or mechanical fastening method to prevent movement during operation.
