Hello,
Please tell me if i am being thoroughly stupid here, but page 2 of the following SMCJ TVS datasheet gives package markings for unidirectional and bidirectional versions of the TVS.
SMCJ TVS Datsheet:-
http://www.vishay.com/docs/88394/88394.pdf
...in most cases, the package markings are the same.....
Shouldnt the marking be different depending on whether its unidirectional or bidirectional?
..what is the point in having a marking if the marking is the same for bidirectional and unidirectional types......
(please look , for example at the top line where both are marked "GDE")
