Product details

What rail voltage does this TVS protect?

The SMBJ8.5CAE3/TR13: The 8.5 V reverse standoff means the TVS stays transparent on 8.5 V rails and below. When a surge hits, the device clamps at 14.4 V maximum while shunting 41.7 A of peak pulse current.

Package and temperature range for the BOM

That span covers cold-start avionics, outdoor telecom enclosures, and under-hood automotive environments without derating the clamping voltage.

Frequently asked questions

Is the SMBJ8.5CAE3/TR13 bidirectional or unidirectional?

It is a single-channel bidirectional device, meaning it clamps both positive and negative transients symmetrically. Use it on AC signals or differential pairs where the polarity can reverse.
