400W bidirectional TVS for 160V rail clamping
The SMAJ160CA-13-F: The 160 V standoff means the part conducts negligible leakage at normal DC bus or signal-line voltages up to that level, only clamping when a transient pushes the line above the 178 V minimum breakdown threshold.
Package, temperature range, and automotive fit
Housed in a DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package, the SMAJ160CA-13-F operates across -55 °C to 150 °C junction temperature — wide enough for under-hood automotive electronics or industrial outdoor gear. The part is listed for automotive applications, meaning the design, qualification, and reliability screening align with AEC-Q101-level expectations for the TVS cell. A single bidirectional channel protects one signal pair or a DC rail against both positive and negative transients without needing two separate unidirectional devices.
