The 15V reverse standoff voltage means it sits across a 15V rail and stays transparent until a transient exceeds 16.7V breakdown. Clamping at 24.4V with a peak pulse current of 61.5A, this part handles the kind of surge that would otherwise punch through a downstream regulator or controller input. Microchip lists the SMCJ15AE3/TR13 as Active. The base product number SMCJ15 covers the family; the suffix indicates the lead-free / RoHS-compliant finish. ## Operating temperature and application fit The part is marked for General Purpose applications — it is not AEC-Q101 qualified, so for automotive use a different suffix in the SMCJ family would be needed.","metaTitle":"SMCJ15AE3/TR13 TVS Diode – 1500W, 15V Standoff, DO-214AB","metaDescription":"SMCJ15AE3/TR13 Zener TVS diode, 1500W peak pulse power, 15V reverse standoff, 16.7V breakdown, 24.4V clamp.
