Its 26V reverse standoff voltage means it sits across a 24V nominal rail without conducting leakage, then clamps transients at 42.1V max to protect downstream silicon. This is a single bidirectional channel — one device handles both positive and negative surges, which saves board space and reduces component count on bipolar signal lines or AC-coupled inputs. ## Clamping voltage and pulse current At the 35.6A peak pulse current, the clamping voltage holds at 42.1V max. That 16.1V headroom above the 26V standoff is the margin your downstream regulator or IC must survive — check the absolute maximum rating of the protected device against this clamp level. The breakdown voltage minimum is 28.9V, so the part starts conducting just above the 26V standoff.","metaTitle":"SMCJ26CAE3/TR13 TVS Diode – 1500W, 26V Bidirectional","metaDescription":"SMCJ26CAE3/TR13 from Microchip: Zener TVS, 1500W peak pulse, 26V reverse standoff, bidirectional, DO-214AB SMC.

The SMCJ26CAE3/TR13 is bidirectional, so a direct swap requires confirming the circuit expects bidirectional clamping. Other 1500W bidirectional TVS in DO-214AB from Littelfuse or Vishay are functional cross-shoes, but pinout is identical — the difference is in the breakdown voltage tolerance and clamping curve."},{"question":"What is the RoHS compliance status of SMCJ26CAE3/TR13?","answer":"The SMCJ26CAE3/TR13 is listed as RoHS compliant per Microchip's standard product marking.
