Working Principles

The SMCJ16CA-HR works by utilizing a junction that conducts when the voltage across it exceeds a certain threshold. When a transient voltage spike occurs, the diode rapidly switches into its conductive state, providing a low-impedance path for the excess current to flow through. This effectively limits the voltage across the protected circuit, safeguarding the connected components.
