The SMCJ6.5CA-13: Its 133.9 A peak pulse current capacity means it absorbs high-energy transients from inductive load switching or lightning-induced surges on a 5 V or 6 V DC bus.
Clamping window and protection zone
Reverse standoff voltage is 6.5 V, with a minimum breakdown of 7.22 V — the diode stays transparent below the rail voltage and only conducts when a transient exceeds the threshold. Power line protection is not supported — this is a signal- or low-power-rail TVS, not a mains-grade suppressor.
