Product details

5V rail clamp, 600W pulse rating

Its 6.4V minimum breakdown voltage and 9.2V maximum clamping at 65.2A peak pulse current define the protection window — the rail sees no more than 9.2V during a 10/1000µs surge event. For shorter pulses the power capability is higher, but the datasheet curve is the reference for derating above 25°C ambient.

Bidirectional, DO-214AA, active production

This is a single-channel bidirectional device — it clamps both polarities, so you do not need to worry about orientation on the PCB. The DO-214AA (SMB) package is a common footprint; the cathode band is present but irrelevant for a bidirectional part.

The base product number SMBJ5.0 covers the 5V variant in the SMBJ series. If you need a unidirectional version or a different breakdown voltage, the same package footprint applies. For procurement: this part is sourced to order against an RFQ.

Frequently asked questions

Is the SMBJ5.0CAE3/TR13 bidirectional?

Yes, it has one bidirectional channel, clamping both positive and negative transients on the same line.
