Product details

Bidirectional Zener TVS for 150V Rails

Its 1500W peak pulse power rating means it can absorb substantial surge energy without failing — a key parameter when derating for repetitive events or high ambient temperature. The device is rated for a reverse standoff voltage of 150V, so it stays transparent on a nominal 150V rail, only clamping when the voltage exceeds the 167V minimum breakdown threshold.

The SMC footprint is larger than the smaller SMA/SMB siblings, which means better heat dissipation through the solder pads — important when the device must handle repetitive surges near the 1500W limit. Lifecycle status is Active, so there is no imminent obsolescence risk.

Sourcing and Availability Note

Frequently asked questions

Is the SMCJ150CAE3/TR13 bidirectional?

Yes, the SMCJ150CAE3/TR13 is a single bidirectional channel. It clamps both positive and negative transients symmetrically, which is typical for AC line protection or DC rails where the polarity could reverse during a fault.
