1500 W peak pulse, 170 V standoff — the clamping decision
The SMCJ170CA-13: The 170 V standoff means the diode draws negligible leakage current on a nominal 170 V rail, only conducting when a transient pushes the line above the 189 V minimum breakdown threshold.
Housed in the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package, the device occupies a standard footprint for this power class and is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) options for pick-and-place assembly.
