Its 85V reverse standoff voltage and 94.4V minimum breakdown voltage make it a fit for 48V to 72V DC bus protection, telecom line cards, and industrial power supplies where symmetrical clamping is needed. ## Clamping voltage and peak current for rail protection Maximum clamping voltage is 137V at a peak pulse current of 10.4A (10/1000µs waveform). This clamping ceiling determines the voltage stress the downstream components see during a surge event — a 137V clamp on an 85V rail leaves 52V of headroom, which is typical for TVS diodes in this power class. The part is a single bidirectional channel, meaning it clamps both polarities symmetrically — useful for AC-coupled signals or floating lines where polarity is not fixed. ## Active production, DO-214AB package on tape and reel Microchip lists this part as Active, so there is no looming end-of-life concern. The DO-214AB (SMC) package footprint is shared across the SMCJ family, making it a drop-in for existing layouts using the same case code.","metaTitle":"SMCJ85CAE3/TR13 TVS Diode – 1.5kW Bidirectional, DO-214AB","metaDescription":"SMCJ85CAE3/TR13 bidirectional Zener TVS diode, 85V standoff, 1.5kW peak pulse, DO-214AB SMC package.
