96.8 V clamping protects a 60 V rail
Its 96.8 V maximum clamping voltage at 15.5 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs waveform) defines the voltage stress the downstream circuitry must survive — any spike above 96.8 V is shunted through the device. The single bidirectional channel eliminates polarity concerns, making it suitable for AC or bipolar signal lines where the transient polarity is unknown.
The surface-mount DO-214AB package allows reflow assembly alongside other SMD components. It is intended for general-purpose circuit protection on data, signal, or low-power supply lines.
The base product number is SMCJ60, covering both unidirectional and bidirectional variants. The 'CA' suffix indicates bidirectional; the '' suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
