The 6.5V reverse standoff voltage and 7.22V minimum breakdown mean it stays transparent on a 5V rail but clamps transients at 12.3V maximum — a clean fit for protecting 5V logic or bias supplies from surges up to 122A peak pulse current. ## Clamping voltage and surge current The 12.3V clamping voltage at 122A peak pulse current defines the voltage the protected circuitry sees during a surge — for a 5V rail, that's a 7.3V margin above the supply, well within the typical absolute maximum of downstream 5V ICs. The 1500W rating gives headroom for industrial or automotive transients without needing a larger package.","metaTitle":"SMCJ6.5E3/TR13 – Microchip Zener TVS, 1500W, DO-214AB","metaDescription":"SMCJ6.5E3/TR13 Zener TVS diode, unidirectional, 1500W peak pulse, 6.5V standoff, 12.3V clamping.

The 6.5V reverse standoff voltage is above a 5V rail, so the diode does not conduct during normal operation. The 7.22V minimum breakdown ensures it triggers before the rail exceeds 7V, and clamping at 12.3V limits the surge voltage seen by the 5V load. This is a standard selection for 5V supply transient protection."},{"question":"What is the difference between SMCJ6.5E3/TR13 and SMCJ6.5A?","answer":"Both are 1500W unidirectional Zener TVS diodes with the same 6.5V standoff and 12.3V clamping. The SMCJ6.5E3/TR13 is the Microchip Technology branded version in tape & reel. The SMCJ6.5A is typically a generic or other-brand equivalent — electrically identical, but confirm the exact breakdown tolerance and package marking if cross-referencing."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/microchip/SMCJ6.5E3-TR13","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/microchip/SMCJ6.5E3-TR13 when reusing this data.
