Breakdown starts at a minimum of 6.4V, and clamping hits 9.6V at full surge current — a tight window that avoids nuisance triggering from supply ripple while still protecting the rail. ## Package and temperature range for field use The junction temperature range is -65°C to 150°C, which covers most industrial and outdoor telecom environments without a derating headache. Lifecycle status is Active — no end-of-life notice or last-time buy pressure. ## Sourcing and compliance posture","metaTitle":"SMAJ5.0CE3/TR13 TVS Diode – 5V, 500W, DO-214AC SMA","metaDescription":"Microchip SMAJ5.0CE3/TR13 Zener TVS: 5V standoff, 6.4V breakdown, 9.6V clamp, 52A peak pulse.

Submit an RFQ with your target quantity; we source through our distributor network and confirm availability and pricing per order. No stock-holding claim is made here."},{"question":"What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to SMAJ5.0CE3/TR13?","answer":"The base product number is SMAJ5.0, so any SMAJ5.0 variant with the same package (DO-214AC) and bidirectional polarity is a direct footprint match. The SMAJ5.0A is the unidirectional version — same breakdown and clamp voltages but one-direction only. Confirm polarity before swapping."},{"question":"Can SMAJ5.0CE3/TR13 replace SMAJ5.0A?","answer":"Not directly: SMAJ5.0CE3/TR13 is bidirectional, while SMAJ5.0A is unidirectional. On a 5V rail that sees only positive transients, the unidirectional part works; if transients can be negative, use the bidirectional version. The clamp voltage and breakdown specs are the same."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/microchip/SMAJ5.0CE3-TR13","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/microchip/SMAJ5.0CE3-TR13 when reusing this data.
