It clamps transients to a maximum of 64.3V at 9.3A, making it a direct fit for protecting 36V nominal rails in industrial and telecom power supplies. ## Clamping voltage and surge current limits With a breakdown voltage minimum of 40V and a clamping ceiling of 64.3V at the rated peak pulse current of 9.3A, this part leaves a 4V margin above the 36V standoff before avalanche begins. The 600W peak pulse rating (10/1000µs) sets the energy-handling floor for the application's transient budget — a 24V system with a 36V TVS would not protect the rail, but a 36V rail with a 40V breakdown is safe. Microchip lists the SMBJ36E3/TR13 as Active. The single unidirectional channel is polarity-sensitive — confirm the circuit's DC bias direction before placement.","metaTitle":"SMBJ36E3/TR13 TVS Diode – 36V Standoff, 600W, DO-214AA","metaDescription":"SMBJ36E3/TR13 Zener TVS diode, 36V reverse standoff, 600W peak pulse, DO-214AA SMB package.
