Active production — AEC-Q101 TVS for 12V automotive rails
The SMCJ7.0AQ-13-F: The 7V standoff suits 12V automotive battery and accessory rails — the clamping voltage at 12V stays below the typical 36V load-dump survival threshold of downstream ICs, provided the PCB layout keeps the trace inductance low.
Housed in the DO-214AB (SMC) package, the SMCJ7.0AQ-13-F mounts via surface-mount reflow. The SMC footprint is larger than the SMA/SMB siblings, offering better thermal transfer of the 1500W pulse into the PCB copper — critical for repetitive surge events in an automotive environment. The operating temperature range spans -55°C to 150°C junction, covering the full automotive under-hood and cabin ambient envelope without derating the peak pulse power at the high end.
Sourcing posture for the BOM line
The -13-F suffix denotes Tape & Reel packaging — the standard reel quantity for this DO-214AB part. Confirm the reel count with the distributor at RFQ time to match the pick-and-place setup.
