Product details

Zener TVS diode for 45V rail clamping

It delivers 500W peak pulse power per the 10/1000µs waveform, with a clamping voltage of 80.3V at the peak pulse current of 6.2A.

Bidirectional protection in DO-214AC

The breakdown voltage minimum is 50V, giving a 5V margin above the 45V standoff before the diode starts conducting.

Frequently asked questions

Is SMAJ45CE3/TR13 bidirectional?

Yes, it has one bidirectional channel, clamping both polarities symmetrically.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to SMAJ45CE3/TR13 in this Circuit Protection family?

The SMAJ45A is a unidirectional version of the same 500W, 45V standoff TVS in the same DO-214AC package. The key difference is polarity: SMAJ45CE3/TR13 is bidirectional, while SMAJ45A clamps only one polarity. Pin-compatible in footprint, but the circuit must account for the polarity difference.
