Clamping and peak pulse ratings
The 5.0SMDJ28A-AT/13: The reverse standoff of 28 V sets the rail the TVS watches without conducting — the part stays off during normal operation. At that point the device dissipates the 5 kW peak pulse rating, clamping the spike to a level the downstream circuitry survives.
Junction temperature and automotive fit
Rated for a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C (TJ). The 150°C ceiling sits well above the typical under-hood ambient band — a 125°C ambient with internal self-heating at full peak pulse duty still has margin. Confirm the recommended land pattern and thermal pad in the YAGEO datasheet before releasing the layout.
