- Breakdown voltage range of 17.8 V to 19.7 V with silicon junction technology ensures consistent protection across temperature and production variation
- SMB (DO-214AA) surface mount package with 7-inch tape and reel (750 pieces) supports automated high-volume PCB assembly
Applications
The SMBJ16CAE3/TR13 is used to protect 16 V power rails and signal lines in industrial equipment, automotive electronics, and telecom interfaces from ESD, lightning surges, and inductive transients. It is placed across supply lines or signal ports to clamp transient voltages to 26 V, preventing damage to downstream ICs and MCUs. Its surface mount SMB footprint and bidirectional configuration make it a drop-in solution for board-level transient protection without polarity concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
What clamping voltage does the SMBJ16CAE3/TR13 provide during a transient surge event?
The SMBJ16CAE3/TR13 clamps transient overvoltages to a maximum of 26 V under specified test conditions, protecting circuits designed for a 16 V nominal operating voltage. Its breakdown voltage range is 17.8 V to 19.7 V (nominal 18.75 V), ensuring the device activates within a well-defined voltage window before clamping energy to safe levels.
Can the SMBJ16CAE3/TR13 protect circuits from both positive and negative voltage transients?
Yes, the SMBJ16CAE3/TR13 is a bidirectional TVS diode, meaning it clamps transients of both polarities on a single component. This bidirectional configuration makes it suitable for AC-coupled lines, RS-485 interfaces, and motor drive outputs where surges can arrive from either polarity, eliminating the need to install two unidirectional diodes back-to-back.
What packaging format is available for the SMBJ16CAE3/TR13, and how many parts are on a reel?
The SMBJ16CAE3/TR13 is supplied in 7-inch tape and reel format with 750 pieces per reel, suitable for automated SMT pick-and-place assembly. The device uses the SMB (DO-214AA) surface mount case, which provides a compact, low-inductance footprint compatible with standard reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260°C.
