The reverse standoff voltage is 8V, meaning the diode is effectively open below that level. Breakdown starts at a minimum of 8.89V, giving a 0.89V guard band before the diode begins conducting. At the full 100A peak pulse current, the clamping voltage rises to 15V — that is the voltage the protected circuitry must survive. The 1500W power rating is the product of clamping voltage and peak current, so a lower-current transient will clamp at a lower voltage, but the 15V ceiling is the worst-case design number. ## Active production and tape-and-reel availability The DO-214AB (SMC) package is widely second-sourced, so if a shortage hits, there are mechanically interchangeable alternatives from other brands — though the breakdown and clamping voltages should be cross-checked against the BOM requirement. The 1500W rating is derated at high temperature per the datasheet curve — at 150°C the peak pulse power drops to about 75% of the 25°C value, so a hot environment reduces the transient headroom. For a 12V automotive battery line, the 8V standoff is too low; this part is aimed at 5V or 8V supply rails, not the battery bus.","metaTitle":"SMCJ8.0E3/TR13 Microchip 1500W Zener, DO-214AB","metaDescription":"SMCJ8.0E3/TR13 from Microchip Technology: 1500W peak pulse power, 8V standoff, 15V clamping, unidirectional Zener TVS in DO-214AB.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Circuit Protection"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Microchip Technology","Type":"Zener","Series":"-","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR)","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":"SMCJ8.0","Operating Temperature":"-65°C~150°C(TJ)","Power Line Protection":"No","Capacitance @ Frequency":"-","Supplier Device Package":"DO-214AB (SMCJ)","Unidirectional Channels":"1","Voltage - Breakdown (Min)":"8.89V","Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp":"15V","Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ)":"8V","Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs)":"100A"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.5000","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the difference between SMCJ8.0E3/TR13 and SMCJ8.0A?","answer":"The SMCJ8.0A is a standard unidirectional TVS with the same 8V standoff and 1500W rating, but the SMCJ8.0E3/TR13 carries Microchip's suffix indicating RoHS compliance and lead-free termination finish.
