Active 600W Zener TVS in DO-214AA
It delivers 600W peak pulse power per the 10/1000µs waveform, clamping at 23.8V max on a 25.2A peak pulse current. The 13V reverse standoff voltage suits 12V nominal rails, while the 14.4V minimum breakdown ensures the device stays off during normal operation. Packaged in DO-214AA (SMB) for surface-mount assembly, supplied on Tape & Reel.
Clamping and breakdown margins
The 14.4V minimum breakdown sits comfortably above the 13V standoff, giving margin against transient noise on a 12V bus without false triggering. Single unidirectional channel, no power-line protection — this is a signal-rail or low-side TVS, not for AC mains or high-energy bus clamping.
For a drop-in parametric match within the same package, the SMBJ13A (unidirectional, 13V standoff, 600W) from other brands may be evaluated — but always verify the clamping and breakdown specs against your rail tolerance before substituting.
