1.5 kW bidirectional TVS for automotive bus clamping
The SMCJ11CAQ-13-F: It clamps transients on a 11 V nominal rail — the reverse standoff voltage — and triggers breakdown at 12.2 V minimum, holding the clamp at 18.2 V max while shunting 82.4 A of peak pulse current in the standard 10/1000 µs waveform.
Pulse power and package — what the ratings mean on the bench
Bidirectional means a single device protects both polarities on a signal pair — useful for CAN, LIN, or sensor lines where the transient can swing above or below ground.
