Product details

Automotive-grade TVS for 16V rails

The SMCJ16AQ-13-F is a 1500W unidirectional TVS diode from Diodes Incorporated, designed to clamp transients on 16V nominal rails in automotive environments. With a breakdown voltage of 17.8V min and a clamping voltage of 26V at 57.7A peak pulse current (10/1000µs waveform), it protects downstream electronics from load-dump and inductive kickback events.

The SMC footprint is larger than the SMA/SMB siblings, so a board layout designed for the smaller package will not accommodate this part without a pad redesign.
