Product details

24V rail TVS – 500W clamp in a DO-214AC package

Its 26.7V minimum breakdown voltage ensures the part starts conducting before the protected circuitry sees damaging overvoltage, while the 43V clamping voltage at 11.6A limits the surge voltage the downstream components must survive.

Breakdown and clamp – what the numbers mean on your bench

The 26.7V breakdown is the threshold where the diode starts avalanching; below that, it looks like an open circuit. The 43V clamp is the worst-case voltage across the diode at the rated 11.6A peak pulse current — that is the voltage your protected ICs must survive for the duration of the surge.

For BOM quantities, we source this part to order — confirm current pricing and lead time by submitting an RFQ.

Frequently asked questions

Is the SMAJ24E3/TR13 RoHS compliant?

The evidence does not explicitly list RoHS compliance, but Microchip's suffix typically indicates RoHS-compliant and halogen-free. Confirm with the datasheet or your Microchip representative for formal certification.

What is the difference between the SMAJ24E3 and the SMAJ24A?

The SMAJ24A is a bidirectional TVS, while the SMAJ24E3 is unidirectional. For a single 24V rail referenced to ground, the unidirectional part is the correct choice; for AC or dual-polarity lines, you would use the bidirectional SMAJ24A. Both share the same DO-214AC package and 500W peak pulse rating.
