TVS selection for 8.5V rails
The SMCJ8.5CA-13-F: It clamps a transient at 14.4V max when the surge current reaches 104.2A, protecting a 8.5V nominal rail from overvoltage events. The bidirectional channel means it handles positive and negative transients symmetrically — useful on AC-coupled signal lines or DC rails where reverse polarity is a risk.
