1500W peak pulse, 6.5V standoff – protection margin for the rail
The SMCJ6.5AE3/TR13 is a unidirectional Zener TVS diode from Microchip Technology, rated for 1500W (1.5kW) peak pulse power at 10/1000µs waveform. Its 6.5V reverse standoff voltage (Typ) means it stays transparent on a 5V or 3.3V rail, clamping transients before they reach downstream silicon. The clamping voltage max at Ipp is 11.2V, which gives a 4.7V margin above a typical 6.5V rail — enough headroom for most low-voltage logic without risking overvoltage damage.
Peak pulse current and temperature range – derating in harsh environments
Active production, DO-214AB package – sourcing for the BOM line
Microchip lists this part as Active, so there is no end-of-life clock ticking on this order code.
