Product details

1500W surge clamp for 7V rails

The SMCJ7.0CAE3/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 7V and a maximum clamping voltage of 12V at 125A peak pulse current.

Package and assembly fit

The DO-214AB footprint is standard across many TVS families, so the PCB layout is compatible with other SMCJ-series devices if a different voltage rating is needed later.

Because this is a standard TVS diode in a common package, multiple distribution channels carry it.

Frequently asked questions

Can SMCJ7.0CAE3/TR13 replace SMCJ7.0A?

The SMCJ7.0A is the unidirectional version of the same 1500W, 7V TVS family. The SMCJ7.0CAE3/TR13 is bidirectional — it clamps both polarities. If your circuit expects a unidirectional clamp (e.g., a positive rail referenced to ground), the bidirectional part will still clamp the positive transient identically, but the negative clamping action is unnecessary. Electrically the breakdown and clamping voltages are the same, so it is a functional substitute if the PCB layout accommodates the same DO-214AB footprint and the circuit can tolerate the bidirectional structure.

Is SMCJ7.0CAE3/TR13 RoHS compliant?

The evidence does not explicitly list RoHS compliance status. Microchip typically marks RoHS-compliant parts with a '' suffix in the order code — the '' in SMCJ7.0CAE3/TR13 indicates the part is manufactured with RoHS-compliant materials (per Microchip's standard marking scheme). Confirm with the official datasheet or your Microchip sales contact for formal certification.
