Product details

Surge clamp for 16V rails

It delivers 1500W peak pulse power (10/1000µs waveform), clamping at 26V when the surge current hits 57.7A. With a 17.8V minimum breakdown voltage, the part triggers before the rail exceeds the downstream component's absolute maximum — typical for protecting 16V power buses in automotive, industrial, or telecom gear.

Junction temperature and package

The DO-214AB (SMC) package is a standard surface-mount footprint for 1.5 kW-class TVS diodes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to SMCJ16AE3/TR13?

The base part SMCJ16A (without the /TR13 suffix) is electrically identical — same 16V standoff, 26V clamp, 1500W rating — and shares the DO-214AB package. The /TR13 suffix only indicates Tape & Reel packaging. If your BOM specifies the reel quantity, confirm the suffix matches; otherwise the bare SMCJ16A is a drop-in replacement.
