Product details

36V rail protection in a DO-214AA package

The SMBJ36E3/TR13 is a Zener TVS diode from Microchip Technology, rated for a reverse standoff voltage of 36V and a peak pulse power of 600W (10/1000µs waveform). It clamps transients to a maximum of 64.3V at 9.3A, making it a direct fit for protecting 36V nominal rails in industrial and telecom power supplies.

Clamping voltage and surge current limits

With a breakdown voltage minimum of 40V and a clamping ceiling of 64.3V at the rated peak pulse current of 9.3A, this part leaves a 4V margin above the 36V standoff before avalanche begins. The 600W peak pulse rating (10/1000µs) sets the energy-handling floor for the application's transient budget — a 24V system with a 36V TVS would not protect the rail, but a 36V rail with a 40V breakdown is safe.

Microchip lists the SMBJ36E3/TR13 as Active.

The single unidirectional channel is polarity-sensitive — confirm the circuit's DC bias direction before placement.

Frequently asked questions

What is the peak pulse power of SMBJ36E3/TR13?

600W peak pulse power measured with a 10/1000µs waveform. That rating defines the maximum transient energy the diode can absorb in a single pulse before failure.

Is SMBJ36E3/TR13 unidirectional or bidirectional?

Unidirectional — one channel. The cathode band on the DO-214AA body indicates the polarity; reverse-bias the diode relative to the protected rail.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to SMBJ36E3/TR13?

Within the SMBJ family, the SMBJ36A (unidirectional, 36V standoff, 600W, DO-214AA) is a direct functional equivalent. The '' suffix on this part denotes Microchip's lead-free plating — the electrical specs are identical to the standard SMBJ36A. Confirm the plating requirement before substituting.
