SMBJ26A TVS ESD diode

The SMBJ26A from Littelfuse (or equivalent brands) is a high-power Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diode designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from voltage spikes, surges, and electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Built for robust performance, this unidirectional TVS diode provides fast response time and high surge capability, making it ideal for protecting power rails, automotive electronics, and industrial systems. Its SMB (DO-214AA) package allows efficient heat dissipation and reliable operation under high transient conditions.
