Product details

Transient protection for 24V rails

Its 26.7V minimum breakdown voltage and 43V clamping at 11.6A (10/1000 µs pulse) define the protection envelope for downstream components.

Clamping voltage and surge current

At the 11.6A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs waveform), the clamp voltage holds at 43V max. For a 24V rail (reverse standoff 24V typ), this clamp margin leaves roughly 19V of headroom above the operating voltage — adequate for most 30V-rated downstream silicon. The bidirectional configuration (1 channel) allows the same device to protect against positive and negative transients without polarity concern — useful on AC-coupled or floating signal lines.

Active production — ordering and package

No successor or cross-reference is listed, so this is the current production baseline.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to SMAJ24CE3/TR13 in this Circuit Protection family?

Within the same SMAJ series, the SMAJ24A (unidirectional) and SMAJ24CA (bidirectional) are electrically similar — same 24V standoff, 26.7V breakdown min, 43V clamp, and 500W rating — but differ in ordering code and package suffix. The SMAJ24CE3/TR13 is the specific bidirectional variant in Tape & Reel. Confirm the polarity and packaging requirement before substituting.

Is SMAJ24CE3/TR13 bidirectional?

Yes, the SMAJ24CE3/TR13 is a bidirectional Zener TVS diode, listed with 1 bidirectional channel. It clamps both positive and negative transients symmetrically, making it suitable for AC or floating lines where polarity is not fixed.
