Transient suppressor for 15V rails
Its 1500W peak pulse power rating handles surge events common in industrial and telecom power buses, while the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package fits standard reflow assembly.
The minimum breakdown voltage is 16.7V, and the maximum clamping voltage at the 61.5A peak pulse current is 24.4V. This 8.7V window between standoff and clamp gives the designer margin to absorb surges without exceeding the downstream device's absolute maximum rating.
Microchip lists the SMCJ15CAE3/TR13 as Active.
The bidirectional configuration suits AC signal lines or DC rails where polarity is not fixed.
