It clamps a 5V nominal rail at 9.6V maximum, with a breakdown voltage starting at 6.4V. This part is typically specified for general-purpose transient suppression on low-voltage DC buses, signal lines, or I/O ports where a single bidirectional device protects against both positive and negative surges. ## Clamping voltage, peak current, and temperature range At the 1500W peak pulse rating, the device handles 156.2A of peak pulse current (Ipp) under the 10/1000 µs test condition. The 9.6V clamping voltage means a 5V supply rail sees less than 10V during a surge event — well within the tolerance of most 5V logic and transceivers. ## Active lifecycle and surface-mount packaging The DO-214AB (SMC) package is a standard JEDEC outline with a low profile for dense PCB layouts.","metaTitle":"SMCJ5.0CE3/TR13 TVS Diode – 1500W, 5V Bidirectional","metaDescription":"SMCJ5.0CE3/TR13 bidirectional Zener TVS diode from Microchip. 1500W peak pulse power, 5V reverse standoff, 9.6V clamping.

This simplifies BOM placement on AC-coupled or bipolar signal lines where two unidirectional diodes in anti-series would otherwise be needed."},{"question":"Can SMCJ5.0CE3/TR13 be used in automotive applications?","answer":"The evidence does not list an AEC-Q101 qualification, so it is not formally automotive-grade. However, its -65°C to 150°C operating range covers typical underhood temperatures. For production automotive designs, verify with Microchip whether a qualified variant exists in the SMCJ family."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/microchip/SMCJ5.0CE3-TR13","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/microchip/SMCJ5.0CE3-TR13 when reusing this data.
