Hi,

I need to test a SMBJ10CV for its datasheet specifications. How to test its clamping function.What are the equipments needed??

Please anybody suggest me.

thanks

Re: Traszorb testing

It can be tested the same way as a Zener diode, that is using adjustable voltage/current power supply ..
Set the short-circuit current to, say 5mA, connect the trnaszorb and slowly increase voltage - at roughly 10-11V you should notice rapid increase in the current flow - measure voltage at which current starts to flow through the transzorb ..

Alternatively you can test a 10V-transzorb using 12/24V battery, a resistor (1kΩ) and a standard DVM .. see attached picture ..

Rgds,
