Product details

Transient suppressor for 16V rails — DO-214AA footprint

Its 17.8V minimum breakdown voltage and 26V clamping at 23.1A peak pulse define the protection window for a 16V supply line.

Voltage ratings and clamping behaviour

The reverse standoff voltage is 16V — the rail voltage below which the diode is effectively non-conducting. Breakdown occurs at 17.8V min, and the clamping voltage is 26V max at the rated peak pulse current of 23.1A. The gap between standoff and clamping defines the margin the downstream circuitry must survive.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between SMBJ16CAE3/TR13 and SMBJ16CA?

The SMBJ16CAE3/TR13 is the Tape & Reel (TR13) variant of the SMBJ16CA bidirectional TVS. The base electrical ratings (16V standoff, 17.8V breakdown, 26V clamping, 600W peak pulse) are identical; the suffix only denotes packaging format and the Microchip (lead-free / RoHS) finish. The SMBJ16CA without suffix may be offered in bulk tube or different plating.
