The 16V reverse standoff voltage means the diode stays off below 16V, drawing negligible leakage; above that, the breakdown voltage starts at 17.8V and clamps hard. This is a clean fit for a 12V or 15V supply rail where you need margin above the nominal rail but below the downstream regulator's absolute maximum. ## DO-214AB package and temperature range The SMC footprint has a large copper tab on the cathode side; for the 1500W rating to hold, the PCB land pattern should include a thermal pad or via array under the tab to pull heat into the board copper. ## Active production, sourced per RFQ That means the BOM line is safe for new designs and long-term production without a forced migration. This is a current-production part; we source it through our multi-distributor network and quote to order. No stock-holding claim — lead time and price are per RFQ.","metaTitle":"SMCJ16E3/TR13 TVS Diode – 16V Standoff, 1500W, DO-214AB","metaDescription":"Microchip SMCJ16E3/TR13 Zener TVS diode, 16V reverse standoff, 1500W peak pulse, DO-214AB (SMC) package.

Both are unidirectional TVS diodes with the same 16V standoff, 1500W rating, and DO-214AB package.
