Protection ratings for a 12V rail
The SMBJ12AONT3: This is a 600W peak pulse power TVS diode (10/1000µs waveform) with a 12V reverse standoff voltage — it sits across a 12V rail and stays out of the circuit until a transient exceeds 13.2V breakdown.

The SMBJ12AONT3 is obsolete, so it is not stocked in volume at franchised distributors. It is available through independent surplus channels — we can source it against your BOM quantity. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing.
There is no official successor listed by onsemi for the SMBJ12AONT3. A functionally equivalent TVS with the same 12V standoff, 600W rating, and DO-214AA package from another manufacturer may fit — confirm the clamp voltage and breakdown tolerance against your design before substituting.
The SMBJ12A is the base part number for the same 12V TVS in the SMBJ series. The SMBJ12AONT3 suffix indicates a specific packaging option (Tape & Reel). Electrically they are identical — the difference is the reel format for automated assembly.
