Transient suppression for a 5V rail
The SMBJ5.0A-13: Its 5V reverse standoff voltage means it sits across the supply without conducting during normal operation, only avalanching when a surge pushes the line above 6.4V minimum breakdown. The 9.2V maximum clamping voltage at the 65.2A peak pulse current defines the protection ceiling — downstream components see no more than 9.2V during a 10/1000µs surge event. The single unidirectional channel suits it for positive-rail clamping where the reference is ground.
Package and temperature envelope
The operating junction temperature range spans -55°C to 150°C, covering both commercial and industrial ambient conditions with margin for self-heating during repetitive surge events. Supplied on Tape & Reel in both cut-tape and full-reel quantities, it integrates into automated pick-and-place assembly without additional handling steps.
