1500W surge clamp for 7V rails
The SMCJ7.0CA-13: The 7.78V minimum breakdown voltage ensures the device enters avalanche conduction before the protected circuitry sees an overvoltage event. It is marked for general-purpose circuit protection and carries no power-line protection rating, so it is intended for signal or low-voltage DC bus applications rather than AC mains.
Package and temperature envelope
Housed in the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package, the SMCJ7.0CA-13 delivers the 1500W rating in a footprint that reflows on standard lead-free profiles. The junction temperature range spans -55°C to 150°C, covering industrial and automotive ambient conditions with margin for self-heating during the surge event.
