TVS clamp for 8.5 V rails
The SMCJ8.5A-13: Rated for a peak pulse current of 104.2 A under the same 10/1000 µs condition, this part handles substantial surge energy from inductive kickback or lightning-induced transients on low-voltage DC buses.
Package and board-fit
Surface-mount DO-214AB (SMC) package — the same footprint as standard SMC diodes. The wide-body SMC package dissipates the 1500 W pulse without requiring a heatsink, relying on the PCB copper pour for thermal spreading.
Operating envelope and lifecycle
The wide temperature margin means derating is minimal at typical ambient conditions.
Sourcing posture
Sourced through independent distribution channels.
