Product details

120V rail protection in a single bidirectional device

A single bidirectional channel clamps both polarities, so one part replaces two unidirectional devices in series on a balanced line. Peak pulse power is 600W for the standard 10/1000 µs waveform, with a maximum clamping voltage of 193V at the rated peak pulse current of 3.1A. That clamping ceiling tells you the voltage the downstream circuitry must survive during a surge event.

Breakdown window and temperature range

Minimum breakdown voltage is 133V, so the device starts conducting between 133V and the standoff voltage — a 13V guard band that keeps the TVS off the rail during normal 120V operation while triggering well before the 193V clamp.

Frequently asked questions

Is SMBJ120CAE3/TR13 a bidirectional or unidirectional TVS?

It is a single bidirectional channel — one device clamps both positive and negative transients, so it suits AC signal lines or DC rails where reverse polarity protection is needed.

What is the peak pulse power rating of Microchip SMBJ120CAE3/TR13?

600W peak pulse power for the 10/1000 µs waveform. That rating defines the maximum surge energy the DO-214AA package can absorb before the junction temperature exceeds the 150°C limit.
