Breakdown starts at 11.1V min, and the clamp voltage is 17V max at the rated peak pulse current of 29.4A. That three-number window — 10V standoff, 11.1V breakdown, 17V clamp — is the entire protection profile for a 10V supply or signal line. ## 500W peak pulse — where it fits and where it does not It is not intended for primary-side surge at the mains input; that duty typically calls for a 1500W or higher device in a larger package. The DO-214AC (SMA) body keeps the footprint small, which helps on dense boards but limits the copper area available for heat sinking during repetitive events. ## Temperature range and production status The -65°C low end suits cold-soak in outdoor or avionics environments; the 150°C ceiling allows placement near hot components without derating the transient capability.","metaTitle":"SMAJ10CAE3/TR13 TVS Diode – 10V Standoff, 500W, DO-214AC","metaDescription":"SMAJ10CAE3/TR13 bidirectional Zener TVS: 10V reverse standoff, 11.1V min breakdown, 17V clamp at 29.4A, 500W peak pulse.
