Product details

Microchip lists the SMBJ30E3/TR13 as Active, so the BOM line is not under end-of-life pressure. No successor has been announced — the part is still the primary offering for this 30V standoff, 600W pulse rating.

600W peak pulse — clamping at 53.5V

Rated for 600W peak pulse power with a 10/1000µs waveform, the SMBJ30E3/TR13 clamps at 53.5V max while conducting 11.2A peak pulse current. The 33.3V minimum breakdown gives a 3.3V guard band above the 30V standoff — enough margin to avoid nuisance triggering on a clean 24V rail but still protect against transients that exceed the rail.

DO-214AA SMB — surface-mount fit

Housed in the DO-214AA (SMB) package, the SMBJ30E3/TR13 is a surface-mount Zener TVS. The SMB footprint is smaller than the SMC but larger than the SMA — it suits boards where the 600W pulse rating demands a bigger junction than an SMA can dissipate, but the layout cannot fit an SMC.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between SMBJ30A and SMBJ30E3/TR13?

Both are 30V standoff Zener TVS diodes in the SMBJ family, but the SMBJ30E3/TR13 carries the suffix, which indicates Microchip's standard lead-free / RoHS-compliant plating finish. The SMBJ30A may have a different plating or be from a different manufacturer. Check the specific datasheet for the SMBJ30A to confirm package and electrical specs — the clamping voltage and pulse power should be identical, but the plating and qualification level can differ.

Is the SMBJ30E3/TR13 unidirectional?

Yes, it is a single unidirectional channel, meaning it protects one rail against positive transients referenced to ground. For bidirectional protection on AC lines or bipolar rails, you would need two devices back-to-back or a bidirectional TVS.
