The clamping voltage is 64.3V maximum at the rated 9.8A peak pulse current. ## What the 500W rating means for your BOM For a 36V rail, this typically covers secondary lightning surges and inductive load switching — but not direct lightning strikes without additional series impedance. Derate for ambient temperature above 25°C per the datasheet curve. If the downstream components (e.g., a 40V-rated DC-DC converter input) cannot tolerate 64.3V, you need a lower-clamp TVS or a series resistor to share the voltage. ## Package and mounting — DO-214AC (SMA) The SMAJ36CE3/TR13 comes in a DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package, supplied on tape and reel.","metaTitle":"SMAJ36CE3/TR13 TVS Diode – 36V Zener, 500W, DO-214AC, Active","metaDescription":"Microchip SMAJ36CE3/TR13 Zener TVS diode, 36V reverse standoff, 64.3V clamp, 500W peak pulse, DO-214AC SMA.

The SMAJ36CE3 clamps both positive and negative transients with a single device — useful on AC lines or where the polarity of the surge is unknown. The SMAJ36A has a slightly different breakdown voltage spec. They are not direct pin-compatible replacements; check the circuit polarity before substituting."},{"question":"Is SMAJ36CE3/TR13 RoHS compliant?","answer":"The part is supplied by Microchip Technology. While the evidence does not explicitly state RoHS compliance, Microchip's standard suffix (as in this MPN) typically indicates RoHS-compliant, lead-free plating.
