Product details

Bidirectional Zener TVS in a DO-214AB SMC Package

The SMCJ7.5CAE3/TR13 is a single-channel bidirectional Zener TVS diode from Microchip Technology, rated for 1500W peak pulse power at 10/1000µs waveform. It clamps transients at 12.9V maximum with a 116.3A peak pulse current capability, making it suitable for protecting 7.5V rails in general-purpose applications.

With a 7.5V reverse standoff voltage and 8.33V minimum breakdown, this part protects 5V and 3.3V logic rails from surges up to 1500W. The 12.9V clamping voltage ensures downstream ICs see less than 13V during a 116.3A pulse — well within the absolute maximum ratings of most MCUs and transceivers.

Active Production, Surface-Mount DO-214AB

The DO-214AB (SMC) package is a standard JEDEC footprint, widely second-sourced across the industry — if you need a backup, any 1500W bidirectional TVS in DO-214AB with the same standoff voltage is a drop-in candidate. Supplied on Tape & Reel (TR), it's ready for automated pick-and-place.

Frequently asked questions

Is SMCJ7.5CAE3/TR13 bidirectional or unidirectional?

It is a single-channel bidirectional Zener TVS, clamping both positive and negative transients symmetrically. No polarity orientation needed on the board.

Can SMCJ7.5CAE3/TR13 be used for 5V protection?

Yes — the 7.5V reverse standoff and 8.33V minimum breakdown provide adequate margin for 5V rails, clamping transients at 12.9V maximum. For 3.3V rails, consider a lower standoff voltage TVS for tighter clamping.
