If your downstream MOSFET or IC has a maximum rating below 96.8V, this TVS may not protect it — you need a lower-voltage clamp or a higher-energy TVS. Breakdown voltage minimum is 66.7V, so the device starts conducting between 66.7V and the clamp voltage. That leaves a ~30V window from the 60V operating rail to full clamp — enough margin for most 48V or 60V systems. The DO-214AC (SMA) footprint is common and fits existing PCB layouts for 500W TVS diodes in this power class. ## Operating temperature range and environment Rated for junction temperature from -65°C to 150°C, this TVS suits equipment exposed to extreme thermal cycling — outdoor telecom cabinets, industrial motor drives, or engine-bay electronics. Surface-mount DO-214AC (SMA) package with a low profile suits dense PCB layouts. No power line protection feature — this is a general-purpose transient suppressor, not a crowbar or foldback device.","metaTitle":"SMAJ60CAE3/TR13 TVS Diode – Microchip, 60V Bidirectional","metaDescription":"Microchip SMAJ60CAE3/TR13 bidirectional Zener TVS diode, 60V reverse standoff, 96.8V clamp, 500W peak pulse, DO-214AC (SMA), active production.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Circuit Protection"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Microchip Technology","Type":"Zener","Series":"-","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR)","Applications":"General Purpose","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"DO-214AC, SMA","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Power - Peak Pulse":"500W","Base Product Number":"SMAJ60","Operating Temperature":"-65°C~150°C(TJ)","Power Line Protection":"No","Bidirectional Channels":"1","Capacitance @ Frequency":"-","Supplier Device Package":"DO-214AC (SMA)","Voltage - Breakdown (Min)":"66.7V","Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp":"96.8V","Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ)":"60V","Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs)":"5.2A"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.1800","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/7b3ddece4863b4621debe180df56adc8.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is the SMAJ60CAE3/TR13 bidirectional or unidirectional?","answer":"It is a single bidirectional channel — it clamps both positive and negative transients.
