Product details

16 V rail protection – 17.8 V breakdown floor

Its minimum breakdown voltage of 17.8 V ensures the device stays off during normal operation, while the maximum clamping voltage of 28.8 V at the peak pulse current of 20.8 A limits the surge seen by the load.

Clamping voltage and surge current – the BOM-fit numbers

The 28.8 V clamping ceiling at 20.8 A is the critical number for downstream component selection: any IC on the protected rail must have an absolute maximum rating above 28.8 V.

DO-214AA SMB – rework and footprint notes

The DO-214AA (SMB) package is a two-terminal JEDEC outline with a gull-wing lead form. It reflows well under standard lead-free profiles and is hand-solderable with a fine-tip iron. The cathode band is marked on the body for orientation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breakdown voltage of SMBJ16E3/TR13?

Design engineers need to know the breakdown voltage to ensure the TVS diode triggers at the correct voltage for protection.

Where can I buy SMBJ16E3/TR13?

Sourcing buyers need to find authorized distributors to purchase the component for BOM fulfillment.

Is SMBJ16E3/TR13 still active and not obsolete?

Brokers and buying teams need to confirm lifecycle status to avoid supply chain risks from end-of-life parts.

What is the difference between SMBJ16E3/TR13 and SMBJ16A?

Engineers comparing alternatives need to know differences in specs like breakdown voltage or packaging to select the right part.

What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ16E3/TR13?

Designers need clamping voltage to ensure the protected circuit's voltage rating is not exceeded during a transient event.

What is the lead time for SMBJ16E3/TR13?

Sourcing buyers need lead time information to schedule production and avoid delays.
