Features
The SZ1SMA series is designed to protect voltage
sensitive components from high voltage, high energy
transients. They have excellent clamping capability, high
surge capability, low zener impedance and fast response
time. The SZ1SMA series is supplied in the Littelfuse
exclusive, cost-effective, highly reliable package and is
ideally suited for use in communication systems,
automotive, numerical controls, process controls, medical
equipment, business machines, power supplies and many
other industrial and consumer applications.

Maximum Ratings and Thermal Characteristics
SZ1SMA Series
Stresses exceeding those listed in the Maximum Ratings table may damage the device. If
any of these limits are exceeded, device functionality should not be assumed, damage may
occur and reliability may be affected.
