Product details

6V rail surge protection in a DO-214AC package

It handles 500W peak pulse power per the 10/1000µs waveform, with a clamping voltage of 10.3V at 48.5A peak pulse current.

Minimum breakdown voltage is 6.67V, so the diode starts conducting before the protected rail exceeds its absolute maximum. The 10.3V clamping ceiling at 48.5A means a 6V supply with a 12V-tolerant downstream device has roughly 1.7V of margin above the clamp — tight but workable if the PCB inductance is kept low. Bidirectional configuration (single channel) protects signal pairs or AC-coupled lines without needing two diodes back-to-back.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to SMAJ6.0CAE3/TR13?

Within the same SMAJ family, the unidirectional version (SMAJ6.0A) shares the same DO-214AC footprint and breakdown voltage but is not bidirectional. For a bidirectional replacement with identical ratings, the SMAJ6.0CA from other brands (e.g., Littelfuse, Vishay) is a functional cross, though package marking and surge capability should be verified against the application's peak pulse current requirement.

What compliance documentation does Microchip provide for SMAJ6.0CAE3/TR13?

Microchip typically supplies RoHS and REACH compliance certificates for this series. The part is halogen-free and meets the EU RoHS directive. For specific UL or IEC 61000-4-5 test reports, contact Microchip directly or request them through the distributor.
