1500W Zener TVS for 12V rail clamping
The 1.5SMC13A TR13 PBFREE: When a transient exceeds the 12.4V minimum breakdown threshold, the device clamps at 18.2V maximum, shunting up to 82A of peak pulse current to ground.
Housed in a DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package, this TVS suits automated pick-and-place assembly. The SMC footprint provides a low-inductance path for fast transient edges — critical for clamping speed. The Pb-free finish (PBFREE suffix) ensures RoHS compliance without requiring a separate process change.
Central Semiconductor Corp lists the 1.5SMC13A TR13 PBFREE as Active in production.
