The recommended footprint and land pattern for SMA5J6.0A-E3/61 can be found in Vishay's 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 or contact their technical support for assistance.
The 'E3' suffix indicates that the device is RoHS-compliant and has a lead-free finish, while the 'E2' suffix indicates a tin-lead finish. The 'E3' suffix is the default for new designs, but the 'E2' suffix may be available for legacy designs or special requests.
While SMA5J6.0A-E3/61 is a high-quality TVS diode, it may not meet the specific requirements of high-reliability or aerospace applications. Consult Vishay's high-reliability TVS diode offerings, such as the SMF series, which are designed for these types of applications.
Follow Vishay's recommended soldering and assembly guidelines, which include using a soldering iron with a temperature of 260°C (500°F) or less, and avoiding excessive soldering time or temperature. Also, ensure the TVS diode is properly aligned and seated on the PCB.
