Product details

70V rail clamp with 1500W surge rating

Its reverse standoff voltage of 70V sets the normal operating level; the device remains transparent until the transient exceeds the breakdown threshold. Rated for 1500W peak pulse power under the 10/1000µs waveform, the part clamps at 125V maximum when conducting 12A peak pulse current. That clamping voltage is the voltage the protected circuitry must survive — a key number for the downstream component voltage rating selection.

DO-214AB footprint and temperature range

The junction temperature range spans -65°C to 150°C, covering outdoor telecom cabinets, industrial enclosures, and under-hood electronics where ambient temperatures can push 85°C and above. The base product number is SMCJ70; the suffix denotes the lead-free, RoHS-compliant finish.

Frequently asked questions

Is SMCJ70E3/TR13 unidirectional or bidirectional?

It is a unidirectional device — one channel with a single Zener junction. For a bidirectional 70V rail, you would need two unidirectional parts in series or a dedicated bidirectional TVS.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to SMCJ70E3/TR13?

Any industry-standard 70V unidirectional TVS in DO-214AB (SMC) with a 1500W peak pulse rating is a functional equivalent — for example, the Littelfuse SMCJ70A or Vishay SMCJ70A. Confirm the clamping voltage and breakdown tolerance match your surge budget.
