The SMAJ10CA-13: It clamps transients at 17V maximum while conducting 23.5A peak pulse current, protecting downstream circuitry from overvoltage events on a 10V nominal rail. Housed in a DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package, it suits high-density PCB layouts where through-hole parts won't fit. The SMA footprint is a common industry standard — pad layouts for this package are widely documented and rework-friendly under hot air.
The SMAJ10CA-13 is obsolete but available through independent distribution.
It clamps surges to 17V and handles 400W peak pulse power, protecting sensitive ICs from ESD, load-dump, and inductive kickback events.
