The recommended footprint and land pattern for the SMBJ120CA-13-F can be found in the Diodes Incorporated's application note AN-108, which provides guidelines for PCB layout and assembly.
To ensure proper soldering, follow the recommended soldering profile and temperature guidelines provided in the datasheet. Additionally, use a solder with a melting point above 217°C to prevent damage to the device.
The SMBJ120CA-13-F has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C, but it's recommended to derate the device's performance at temperatures above 125°C to ensure reliability and longevity.
While the SMBJ120CA-13-F is designed for ESD protection, it's not recommended for high-frequency applications above 1 GHz due to its parasitic capacitance and inductance. For high-frequency applications, consider using a dedicated high-frequency ESD protection device.
When selecting the SMBJ120CA-13-F, consider factors such as the voltage rating, current rating, and capacitance required for your application. Also, ensure the device meets the necessary regulatory requirements, such as IEC 61000-4-2 and ISO 10605.
