It is a general-purpose protection device suited for industrial, telecom, and automotive environments where a 70V nominal rail needs clamping to 146V maximum during a surge event. When a transient exceeds 77.8V (minimum breakdown voltage,), the device starts to avalanche and clamp. The bidirectional nature means the same device protects both positive and negative transients, saving board space compared to two unidirectional diodes back-to-back. The SMCJ70CA-TR is supplied in the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package.","metaTitle":"STMicroelectronics SMCJ70CA-TR TVS Diode","metaDescription":"STMicroelectronics SMCJ70CA-TR bidirectional TVS diode, 1500W peak pulse power, 70V standoff, 77.8V breakdown, 146V clamping, DO-214AB SMC package.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Circuit Protection"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"STMicroelectronics","Type":"Zener","Series":"SMCJ, TRANSIL™","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Applications":"General Purpose","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"DO-214AB, SMC","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Power - Peak Pulse":"1500W (1.5kW)","Base Product Number":"SMCJ70","Operating Temperature":"-55°C~150°C(TJ)","Power Line Protection":"No","Bidirectional Channels":"1","Capacitance @ Frequency":"-","Supplier Device Package":"SMC (DO-214AB)","Voltage - Breakdown (Min)":"77.8V","Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp":"146V","Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ)":"70V","Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs)":"69A (8/20µs)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.6500","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/afa32e66ad58d9d3b67a92acb79ea14b.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/SMCJ70CA-TR/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Can SMCJ70CA-TR be used for 24V protection?","answer":"No. The reverse standoff voltage is 70V, which is the maximum continuous voltage the device can block.
