SMB8J36CA-E3/52 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for this component?
  The recommended land pattern for the SMB8J36CA-E3/52 can be found in the Vishay Intertechnologies' application note AN48363, which provides guidelines for surface mount assembly of SMB devices.
• How do I handle the component during assembly to prevent damage?
  To prevent damage, handle the SMB8J36CA-E3/52 by the body only, avoiding touching the glass passivated junction. Use anti-static wrist straps, mats, or other ESD protection devices to prevent electrostatic discharge damage.
• What is the maximum soldering temperature and time for this component?
  The maximum soldering temperature for the SMB8J36CA-E3/52 is 260°C (500°F) for 10 seconds. Exceeding this temperature or time may damage the component.
• Can I use this component in a high-reliability or aerospace application?
  The SMB8J36CA-E3/52 is a commercial-grade component, but Vishay Intertechnologies offers similar components with higher reliability and screening options, such as the JAN, JANTX, or JANS versions, which may be suitable for high-reliability or aerospace applications.
• How do I determine the correct polarity of the component?
  The SMB8J36CA-E3/52 has a cathode band on the component marking, which indicates the cathode (negative) lead. The anode (positive) lead is the other terminal.
