Product details

What this TVS diode protects and how it's rated

Its peak pulse power rating is 600W for a 10/1000µs waveform, which covers most industrial surge events like load-dump or inductive kickback. The reverse standoff voltage is 13V — that's the DC rail voltage the part sits across without conducting. Breakdown starts at 14.4V minimum, and clamping is guaranteed at 21.5V maximum at the peak pulse current of 27.9A.

It's classified for general-purpose applications — no power-line protection rating, so keep it on signal or low-power DC rails where the 13V standoff matches.

Frequently asked questions

Is SMBJ13AE3/TR13 unidirectional or bidirectional?

It is unidirectional with one channel, meaning it protects against transients in one polarity relative to ground. For bidirectional protection on an AC or bipolar rail, you would need a different device.

What is the peak pulse power of SMBJ13AE3/TR13?

600W for a 10/1000µs waveform. That rating defines how much transient energy it can absorb before failing — enough for most industrial surge events on a 13V rail.

What is the difference between SMBJ13A and SMBJ13AE3?

The '' suffix on the SMBJ13AE3/TR13 typically indicates a lead-free / RoHS-compliant finish. The core electrical specs (13V standoff, 600W peak pulse, unidirectional) are the same as the SMBJ13A base part.
