Product details

48V rail protection in a rework-friendly package

The SMAJ48CA-13: The 400W peak pulse power rating tells you it handles a single high-energy event, not continuous dissipation — sized for surge protection on DC power inputs, signal lines, or low-voltage battery buses. The body is small enough that the pad layout doesn't trap heat under the part — lift the part, not the pad. Bidirectional means you don't worry about polarity; one part covers both positive and negative transients on a bipolar line or an AC-coupled signal.

Active production and sourcing posture

The base product number is SMAJ48, so the -13 suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy SMAJ48CA-13 and how do I get a price?

What does the 77.4V clamping voltage mean for my 48V circuit?

The 77.4V max clamp means the TVS limits the surge voltage to 77.4V across the device terminals while conducting 5.2A peak pulse current. Your downstream components must withstand at least 77.4V for the duration of the transient — check the absolute maximum ratings of the powered ICs or capacitors on that rail.
