It clamps at 10.3 V maximum when the surge current reaches 58.3 A, with a reverse standoff voltage of 6 V. A single bidirectional channel handles AC or dual-polarity signal lines without needing two diodes back-to-back, which simplifies PCB layout and reduces component count.
Housed in the DO-214AA surface-mount package, the device operates across -65°C to 150°C junction temperature.
The base product number SMBJ6.0 covers a broad family, so long-term supply continuity is typical for this line.
The suffix is Microchip's designation for lead-free / RoHS-compliant plating finish. It does not affect electrical performance — the breakdown, clamping, and power ratings are identical to the standard SMBJ6.0CA part.
Yes, it is a single bidirectional channel. It clamps equally on positive and negative transients, making it suitable for AC signal lines or power rails that swing below ground.
The SMBJ6.0A is a unidirectional version; the SMBJ6.0CAE3/TR13 is bidirectional. Electrically, the breakdown and clamping voltages are the same, but the bidirectional part conducts in both directions. If the original design used a unidirectional TVS on a DC rail, replacing it with a bidirectional part may still protect the rail but will not provide the same polarity-specific clamping characteristic. Confirm the circuit topology before substituting.
