The recommended footprint and land pattern for the SM6T30A-E3/5B can be found in the Vishay Intertechnologies' application note AN10343, which provides guidelines for surface-mount assembly of TVS diodes.
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 Vishay's TVS Diode Selection Guide (document number 88310) for more information.
The SM6T30A-E3/5B has a specific voltage rating (30V) and package type (SMB). Other TVS diodes in the same family may have different voltage ratings, package types, or other characteristics. Consult the datasheet and Vishay's website for a complete comparison of the different TVS diodes in the family.
To ensure reliability and quality, follow proper design and assembly guidelines, such as those outlined in Vishay's application notes and datasheets. Also, consider factors such as operating temperature, humidity, and power cycling when selecting and designing with the SM6T30A-E3/5B.
The SM6T30A-E3/5B is a commercial-grade TVS diode, but Vishay offers other TVS diodes that are specifically designed and qualified for high-reliability and aerospace applications. Consult Vishay's website and datasheets for more information on these specialized TVS diodes.
