Clamping window and thermal range
The SMBJ6.5CAQ-13-F: The reverse standoff voltage is 6.5V; breakdown occurs at 7.22V minimum, and clamping is limited to 11.2V at the rated peak current — this 4.7V window keeps the protected line within safe operating area during a surge.
DO-214AA footprint and automotive qualification
Packaged in a standard DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount case, the SMBJ6.5CAQ-13-F mounts directly onto a PCB pad layout common to many board-level TVS footprints. AEC-Q101 qualification means the part has passed accelerated life tests, high-temperature reverse bias, and temperature cycling per the automotive stress profile — a requirement for Tier-1 ECU BOMs.
