Rated for 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), it breaks down at 14.4 V minimum and clamps at 27.2 V maximum at the peak current of 85 A (8/20 µs). The DO-214AC (SMA) package is a common surface-mount footprint for board-level transient protection in general-purpose industrial, telecom, and consumer power supplies.
Rework and footprint — what the DO-214AC means at the bench
The DO-214AC (SMA) is a two-terminal, JEDEC-registered package with a gull-wing lead form. It reflows cleanly with a standard hot-air profile — no exposed pad, no hidden thermal slug. The body is small enough that hand rework with tweezers and a hot-air pencil is straightforward; just watch the orientation mark (cathode band) before placement. MSL is typically Level 1 for this family, so no bake required if the reel seal is intact.
