Product details

Transient protection for 48V rails

With a single bidirectional channel, this part clamps equally on positive and negative transients, so you don't need to worry about polarity orientation on the PCB — useful for AC-coupled or floating signal pairs.

Clamping voltage and current handling

Breakdown occurs at a minimum of 53.3V, and the maximum clamping voltage at the 17.5A peak pulse current is 85.5V. That 32V headroom between standoff and clamp means the protected circuitry sees a hard ceiling well below typical 100V-rated component limits.

Frequently asked questions

Is SMCJ48CE3/TR13 bidirectional?

Yes, it has a single bidirectional channel, meaning it clamps transients of either polarity without requiring a specific orientation on the board.
