Working Principles

The SMCJ85A-M3/9AT operates by shunting excess current away from sensitive components when a voltage spike occurs. When the voltage across the diode exceeds its breakdown voltage, it begins to conduct, providing a low-impedance path for the excess current to flow through. This effectively limits the voltage across the protected components, preventing damage.
