Product details

7V rail clamp in a DO-214AC footprint

Its reverse standoff voltage is 7 V, with a minimum breakdown of 7.78 V and a maximum clamping voltage of 13.3 V at the peak pulse current of 37.8 A. This is a general-purpose protection part suited for DC power buses, signal lines, and I/O ports where a unidirectional clamp is needed.

Clamp voltage and breakdown margin

The gap between the 7 V standoff and the 7.78 V minimum breakdown gives a guard band of 0.78 V — enough to avoid false triggering on normal rail ripple. The 13.3 V clamp is the ceiling the protected circuitry sees during a surge; for a 7 V rail, this leaves a ~6 V margin above the operating voltage, which is typical for a 500 W device in this voltage class. No power line protection, so it's intended for secondary-side or low-voltage DC rails rather than mains AC.

Microchip lists the SMAJ7.0E3/TR13 as Active. Sourced per RFQ; current lead time and price confirmed at quote time against your BOM quantity.

Frequently asked questions

Is the SMAJ7.0E3/TR13 RoHS compliant?

The evidence does not list a RoHS compliance statement. Confirm with the datasheet or your Microchip representative for the exact compliance status of this date code.

Does the SMAJ7.0E3/TR13 require a heatsink?

No. The DO-214AC (SMA) package is designed for surface-mount PCB copper-plane heatsinking. The 500 W rating is for a single 10/1000 µs pulse — continuous power dissipation is negligible for transient duty.

What is the difference between the SMAJ7.0E3/TR13 and the SMAJ7.0A?

The SMAJ7.0A is a bidirectional version; the SMAJ7.0E3/TR13 is unidirectional. The '' suffix typically indicates lead-free / RoHS-compliant plating, but confirm with the datasheet. The 'TR13' suffix specifies Tape & Reel packaging. Electrical specs (standoff, breakdown, clamp) are the same for both unidirectional and bidirectional variants.
