Product details

Active production, bidirectional 1500W TVS for 8V rails

The SMCJ8.0CAE3/TR13 is an active-production Zener TVS diode from Microchip Technology, rated for 1500W peak pulse power at 10/1000µs. The 8.89V minimum breakdown voltage and 13.6V clamping at 110.3A peak pulse current define the protection window: the rail must tolerate the clamp voltage without exceeding the downstream device's absolute maximum rating.

Junction temperature range and package fit

Operating junction temperature spans -65°C to 150°C, covering military, aerospace, and downhole applications where commercial-grade TVS parts (typically 0°C to 70°C or -40°C to 85°C) would need derating or fail entirely. Packaged in DO-214AB (SMC) — a surface-mount footprint shared by many 1500W TVS diodes from Littelfuse, Vishay, and Bourns. The SMCJ8.0CAE3/TR13 is a direct footprint and function match for industry-standard SMCJ8.0A/CA parts, simplifying BOM swaps when Microchip supply is preferred or available.

Frequently asked questions

What is the peak pulse power and breakdown voltage of SMCJ8.0CAE3/TR13?

Peak pulse power is 1500W (10/1000µs waveform). Minimum breakdown voltage is 8.89V, with clamping at 13.6V at 110.3A peak pulse current.

Is SMCJ8.0CAE3/TR13 bidirectional or unidirectional?

It is a single bidirectional channel — clamps both positive and negative transients, suitable for AC or bipolar rails without an external diode bridge.

Does SMCJ8.0CAE3/TR13 have a direct equivalent from another brand?

The SMCJ8.0CA/CA series is a widely cross-referenced footprint and function standard. Parts from Littelfuse, Vishay, Bourns, and others with the same SMCJ8.0CA base number and DO-214AB package are pin-compatible and electrically equivalent within datasheet tolerances. Confirm the specific suffix (e.g., for Microchip's high-rel screening) if your BOM requires that grade.
