Package and board-fit: DO-214AB (SMC)
Housed in a DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package, the SMCJ6.5CA-13-F uses the same footprint as other 1.5 kW TVS diodes in this case size. The SMC package has a larger body than the smaller SMA/SMB variants, which helps spread the heat from a 1500 W pulse into the PCB copper — the thermal pad area under the cathode tab directly sets the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Active lifecycle — no last-time-buy pressure
Diodes Incorporated lists the SMCJ6.5CA-13-F as Active.
