The reverse standoff voltage is 6V — the diode draws negligible leakage below this level. Breakdown occurs at a minimum of 6.67V, and clamping is guaranteed at 11.4V maximum with the full 43.9A pulse current applied. This 5.4V window between standoff and clamp gives the rail enough headroom to ride through transients without exceeding the downstream device's absolute maximum rating. ## Active production — order against your BOM Microchip lists the SMAJ6.0E3/TR13 as Active. This covers outdoor telecom cabinets, under-hood automotive modules, and industrial control enclosures where seasonal swings and self-heating push the ambient beyond commercial limits. The DO-214AC (SMA) footprint is a standard surface-mount package — no special pad geometry beyond the datasheet land pattern.","metaTitle":"SMAJ6.0E3/TR13 TVS Diode – 500W, 6V, Unidirectional","metaDescription":"Microchip SMAJ6.0E3/TR13 Zener TVS: 500W peak pulse power, 6V standoff, 11.4V clamp, unidirectional, DO-214AC.

It protects a single polarity rail — connect the cathode to the positive rail and the anode to ground. For AC or bipolar rails, a bidirectional TVS is required."},{"question":"What is the peak pulse power of SMAJ6.0E3/TR13?","answer":"500W peak pulse power measured with a 10/1000µs waveform. This rating defines the maximum transient energy the diode can absorb without failure. For shorter pulses (e.g. 8/20µs), the peak power capability is higher — refer to the datasheet derating curve."},{"question":"What is the closest pin-compatible alternative from another brand?","answer":"The SMAJ6.0 family is a standard JEDEC outline. Competitor parts with the same DO-214AC (SMA) package, 6V standoff, and 500W rating (e.g. from Littelfuse, Bourns, or Vishay) are generally footprint-compatible. Confirm the breakdown and clamping voltage tolerances against your design margin before substituting."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/microchip/SMAJ6.0E3-TR13","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/microchip/SMAJ6.0E3-TR13 when reusing this data.
