Product details

Housed in the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package, it occupies a single footprint and is rated for operation from -65°C to 150°C junction temperature — wide enough for outdoor or under-hood environments.

When a surge hits, it breaks down at a minimum of 40V and clamps the transient to 58.1V maximum while conducting 25.8A of peak pulse current. That 58.1V ceiling is what the downstream silicon sees — make sure your DC/DC converter or load switch is rated above that. It is a unidirectional suppressor, so it protects one polarity. If your rail is bipolar or AC-coupled, you would need a bidirectional part or a back-to-back pair.

Lifecycle and ordering — active, no end-of-life notice

The base product number is SMCJ36, and the full order code includes the /TR13 reel suffix.

This is a current-production Microchip part available through multiple distribution channels. Pricing and lead time vary with quantity and market conditions — request a quote against your BOM line for current availability and pricing. The DO-214AB SMC package is shared across the SMCJ family, so if you have a 36V rail and need a known-good TVS, this is a direct fit.

Frequently asked questions

Can SMCJ36AE3/TR13 replace SMCJ36A?

The SMCJ36A and SMCJ36AE3/TR13 share the same base part number SMCJ36 and the same DO-214AB package. The suffix typically indicates RoHS compliance and a specific screening level, so electrically they are interchangeable for a 36V rail. Confirm the exact test level required by your application before substituting.
