The SMCJ6.5A-13: The unidirectional single-channel design clamps transients above the 7.22 V minimum breakdown voltage, protecting a 6.5 V rail from overvoltage events.
The SMC footprint is larger than the smaller SMA/SMB siblings, providing a lower thermal resistance path for the 1500 W pulse — the copper pad area under the cathode tab sets the RthJA for repetitive pulse handling.
The SMCJ6.5A-13 is a standard 1500 W SMC-package TVS; functionally similar parts from other manufacturers (e.g., Littelfuse, Vishay) exist but pinout and electrical characteristics should be verified against the BOM requirements.
