SMAJ100A-TR datasheet by STMicroelectronics

SMAJ100A-TR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended footprint for SMAJ100A-TR?
  The recommended footprint for SMAJ100A-TR is a standard SOD128 package with a pad size of 2.5mm x 1.5mm and a spacing of 0.5mm between pads.
• How do I ensure reliable soldering of SMAJ100A-TR?
  To ensure reliable soldering, use a soldering iron with a temperature of 250°C to 260°C, and apply a small amount of solder paste to the pads. Avoid applying excessive heat or pressure, which can damage the component.
• Can I use SMAJ100A-TR in a high-temperature environment?
  While SMAJ100A-TR is rated for operation up to 150°C, it's not recommended for use in high-temperature environments above 125°C without proper derating and thermal management. Consult the datasheet and application notes for guidance.
• How do I handle ESD protection when working with SMAJ100A-TR?
  To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, handle SMAJ100A-TR components with ESD-protective equipment, such as wrist straps, mats, and bags. Avoid touching the component pins or exposing them to static electricity.
• Can I use SMAJ100A-TR in a high-frequency application?
  SMAJ100A-TR is designed for low-frequency applications up to 1 MHz. For high-frequency applications above 1 MHz, consider using a different TVS diode with a lower capacitance and higher bandwidth.
