Product details

Transient suppressor for 36V rails

The SMCJ36CAE3/TR13 is a bidirectional Zener TVS diode from Microchip Technology, rated for 1500W peak pulse power (10/1000µs waveform) with a reverse standoff voltage of 36V. It clamps transients to a maximum of 58.1V at the rated peak pulse current of 25.8A, making it a fit for protecting 36V DC power buses, signal lines, or I/O ports in general-purpose equipment.

Breakdown and clamping coordination

Minimum breakdown voltage is 40V, so the device starts conducting above that threshold.

Package and sourcing status

The product status is Active, so no end-of-life watch is needed — the part can be ordered against BOM quantities without last-time-buy pressure.

Frequently asked questions

Is SMCJ36CAE3/TR13 bidirectional or unidirectional?

It is a single bidirectional channel, meaning it clamps both positive and negative transients symmetrically — useful for AC-coupled or bipolar signal lines.

Does SMCJ36CAE3/TR13 have power line protection?

No, it does not include power line protection features. It is intended for general-purpose transient suppression on signal or low-power DC rails.
