Clamping numbers that matter on a 60V rail
The SMBJ60CA-13: Its 66.7V minimum breakdown voltage means it stays out of the way during normal operation, and the 96.8V maximum clamping at the rated 6.2A peak pulse current sets the voltage the downstream components must survive.
Package and board-fit: DO-214AA SMB
The single bidirectional channel means polarity doesn't matter — you can place it across the rail without worrying which way the transient comes from.
Active production — no last-time-buy pressure
Listed as Active with a current lifecycle stage, the SMBJ60CA-13 is still in regular production from Diodes Incorporated. The base product number SMBJ60 covers the whole 60V family; the CA suffix confirms bidirectional polarity, and the -13 denotes tape-and-reel packaging. Cut-tape options are also available for prototyping or low-volume builds.
