600W peak pulse, DO-214AA SMB
The SMBJ18A-13-F: Its 18V reverse standoff voltage (working voltage) and 20V minimum breakdown threshold protect 15V or 18V rails from transients up to 29.2V clamping, with a peak pulse current capability of 20.5A.
Clamping voltage and pulse current
This clamp voltage is the ceiling the TVS holds the protected line to — a downstream device rated for 30V or higher stays within its safe operating area during a surge event.
Package and board integration
Housed in the DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package, the SMBJ18A-13-F occupies a standard footprint with a low profile suited for dense PCB layouts. The SMBJ18A-13-F is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) options, compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly. No power line protection feature is integrated — this is a dedicated transient suppressor for signal or low-power supply lines.
