Product details
Overview
SM16LC24E3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 16-pin, 8-line unidirectional low-capacitance TVS diode array designed for board-level ESD/EFT protection of 24 V interfaces. It delivers 500 W peak pulse power (8/20 µs), clamps to 43 V at 1 A and 55 V at 5 A, and features 25 pF capacitance per line at 1 MHz - used in RS-422/RS-449 transceivers and WAN multiplexers.
For engineers reviewing the SM16LC24E3/TR13 datasheet, SM16LC24E3/TR13 pinout, SM16LC24E3/TR13 application, or SM16LC24E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include standoff voltage (24 V), unidirectional configuration, SO-16 package compatibility, and IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±15 kV contact) compliance for industrial I/O protection.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent unidirectional TVS diodes in a single SO-16 package, with pins 1–8 as anodes and pins 9–16 as cathodes - enabling electrically isolated protection of eight signal lines without shared ground coupling. Its 24 V standoff voltage (VWM) and 26.7 V minimum breakdown (VBR) ensure compatibility with 24 V logic and interface circuits.
The SM16LC24E3/TR13 operates across –55°C to +150°C and meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating. Its 25 pF typical capacitance per channel supports data rates up to 10 Mbps in RS-422/RS-449 applications while maintaining signal integrity under transient stress.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A | Single-channel SMA package; 24 V VWM, 38.9 V VC@1 A; 500 W rating | Requires eight discrete devices and additional PCB area; no integrated multi-line isolation | Use when space allows discrete placement and ground separation is not critical |
| SP1003-02HTG | 8-channel unidirectional array in SO-16; 24 V VWM, 40 V VC@1 A; 350 W rating | Lower peak power handling; optimized for lower-energy ESD-only environments | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer I/O where IEC 61000-4-4 EFT immunity is not required |
Compared with SMAJ24A and SP1003-02HTG, the SM16LC24E3/TR13 uniquely combines 8-line integration, 500 W surge capability, and 25 pF capacitance in SO-16 - making it optimal for space-constrained industrial serial interfaces requiring full IEC 61000-4-2/4-4 compliance.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage rating of SM16LC24E3/TR13 and how does it relate to circuit protection?
The SM16LC24E3/TR13 has a 24 V standoff voltage (VWM), meaning it remains non-conductive below this DC or continuous peak voltage. This rating aligns directly with 24 V industrial control and sensor interface rails, ensuring no leakage current during normal operation while triggering reliably during transients exceeding 26.7 V (VBR). The SM16LC24E3/TR13 thus prevents false triggering while safeguarding downstream ICs.
How is the pin configuration of SM16LC24E3/TR13 structured for unidirectional protection?
The SM16LC24E3/TR13 uses pins 1–8 as anodes and pins 9–16 as cathodes - forming eight independent unidirectional TVS paths. Each anode connects to a protected signal line, while cathodes tie to a common ground reference. This architecture ensures electrical isolation between channels and avoids ground loop coupling, a critical advantage over bidirectional arrays in noise-sensitive applications.
Does SM16LC24E3/TR13 meet international ESD and surge immunity standards?
Yes, the SM16LC24E3/TR13 is rated for IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±15 kV contact, ±25 kV air) ESD immunity and IEC 61000-4-4 electrical fast transient (EFT) bursts. Its 500 W peak pulse power (8/20 µs) also supports secondary lightning surge protection per IEC 61000-4-5. These validated ratings make the SM16LC24E3/TR13 suitable for EN 55032/55035-compliant industrial equipment.
What is the typical capacitance of SM16LC24E3/TR13 and why does it matter for data interfaces?
The SM16LC24E3/TR13 exhibits 25 pF typical capacitance per channel at 1 MHz and 0 V bias. This low value minimizes signal distortion and preserves rise/fall times in high-speed serial links - enabling reliable operation in RS-422 and RS-449 interfaces running up to 10 Mbps. Higher capacitance would degrade timing margins and increase bit error rates, especially over longer traces.
Is SM16LC24E3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the SM16LC24E3/TR13 is RoHS-compliant with matte-tin plating and qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles per J-STD-020. Its SO-16 package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 30 seconds, and the device meets MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 for solderability. The "e3" suffix explicitly denotes RoHS compliance and lead-free finish.
