SM6T27A-E3/5B datasheet by Vishay Semiconductors

SM6T27A-E3/5B Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended footprint and land pattern for SM6T27A-E3/5B?
  The recommended footprint and land pattern for SM6T27A-E3/5B can be found in the Vishay Intertechnologies' application note AN10395, which provides guidelines for surface-mount assembly of TVS diodes.
• How do I select the correct TVS diode for my specific application?
  To select the correct TVS diode, consider factors such as the maximum voltage, current, and power rating required for your application. Also, consider the clamping voltage, response time, and capacitance of the TVS diode. Consult the datasheet and application notes for guidance.
• What is the difference between the SM6T27A-E3/5B and other TVS diodes in the same series?
  The main difference lies in the voltage rating, package type, and screening level. The SM6T27A-E3/5B has a 27V voltage rating, is packaged in a DO-214AB (SMF) package, and has a screening level of 'E' (100% screening for aerospace and high-reliability applications). Consult the datasheet for specific details.
• How do I ensure the reliability and longevity of the SM6T27A-E3/5B in my design?
  To ensure reliability and longevity, follow proper PCB design and layout guidelines, use a suitable soldering process, and avoid exceeding the recommended operating conditions. Also, consider using a TVS diode with a high surge capability and a low clamping voltage to minimize stress on the component.
• Can I use the SM6T27A-E3/5B in a high-temperature environment?
  The SM6T27A-E3/5B has a maximum operating temperature of 150°C. While it can operate in high-temperature environments, it's essential to consider the derating factors and ensure that the component does not exceed its maximum ratings. Consult the datasheet for temperature-related specifications.
