Zener TVS for 8.5V rail protection
The SMBJ8.5E3/TR13: It is rated for 600W peak pulse power per the 10/1000µs waveform, with a clamping voltage of 15.9V at 37.7A peak pulse current. The 8.5V reverse standoff voltage means the device will not conduct leakage current below that threshold, making it suitable for protecting 5V or 3.3V logic rails that see occasional overvoltage events up to 8.5V continuous.
Package and mounting for automated assembly
The SMB footprint is standard across the SMBJ family, so a single PCB layout covers multiple voltage ratings.
