Product details

Automotive TVS for 15V Rails — 1500W Peak Pulse in a DO-214AB

The SMCJ15AQ-13-F: It clamps at 24.4 V max while handling 61.5 A peak pulse current.

Clamping Voltage and Pulse Current — What the Ratings Mean for Your Protection Budget

With a 16.7 V minimum breakdown voltage, the TVS begins conducting just above the 15 V normal rail, and the 24.4 V max clamping voltage ensures the downstream device sees a transient limited to that ceiling. The 61.5 A peak pulse current at the 10/1000 µs waveform defines the surge it can absorb without failing short — useful for load-dump or inductive kickback scenarios on automotive 12 V buses. The DO-214AB (SMC) body dissipates the heat through the PCB copper pad; the junction temperature ceiling of 150°C sets the derating curve for repetitive surges.

Active Lifecycle and Sourcing Posture

For a BOM line that requires documented automotive compliance, the SMCJ15AQ-13-F delivers the traceable certification.
