Product details

400W peak pulse, 33V rail — signal-line transient clamp

The SMAJ33CA-13-F: The clamping voltage is 53.3V maximum at the 7.5A peak pulse current (10/1000µs waveform). That 53.3V ceiling is what the protected downstream circuitry sees during a surge — a figure to check against the absolute-maximum ratings of the ICs on that rail. This is a signal-line protector, not a mains-power device — the spec explicitly notes no power line protection.

DO-214AC SMA package — rework and board-fit

Housed in the standard DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package, the SMAJ33CA-13-F uses the familiar JEDEC footprint with the cathode band as the polarity mark — though for a bidirectional device, orientation does not matter for the clamping function. The SMA body is small enough to fit under a hot-air nozzle without heating adjacent parts, and the solder pads are wide enough that a standard iron tip can touch up a joint if needed.

Frequently asked questions

Is SMAJ33CA-13-F suitable for protecting a 33V power rail?

Yes. The reverse standoff voltage is 33V, meaning the TVS draws negligible leakage at that DC level. The minimum breakdown voltage is 36.7V, so it starts clamping above that threshold. This part is designed for signal-line protection, not AC mains.
