Product details
Overview
SMAJ64E3/TR13 from Microsemi is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) designed for primary and secondary lightning surge protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 64 V standoff voltage (VWM), 71.1 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 114 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 4.4 A peak pulse current, and 500 W peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in telecom power supplies, industrial I/O modules, and automotive body control units.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ64E3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ64E3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ64E3/TR13 application, or SMAJ64E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under IEC61000-4-5 (42 Ω source), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, DO-214AC package thermal resistance (15 °C/W junction-to-lead), and compatibility with automated SMT reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 71.1 V breakdown threshold (IBR = 1 mA). Its <100 ps theoretical response time enables effective suppression of ESD per IEC61000-4-2 and fast transients per IEC61000-4-4.
It delivers 500 W peak pulse power at 25 °C with 0.01% duty cycle, derating to 1.56 W steady-state dissipation at 25 °C ambient on FR4 board. Thermal resistance is specified at 15 °C/W junction-to-lead and 80 °C/W junction-to-ambient under recommended footprint.

|---|---|
Use Scenario: 24 V DC input lines in programmable logic controller backplanes exposed to inductive switching noise and field wiring surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between input rail and chassis ground to clamp transients before reaching isolation amplifiers and microcontrollers. Use Value: 114 V clamping voltage limits stress on 36 V-rated front-end regulators and ensures immunity to IEC61000-4-5 Class 3 (42 Ω) surges. | Use Scenario: Power supply input to BCM ECUs subjected to load dump and jump-start events in 12 V vehicle architectures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary surge clamp on main VBAT rail upstream of DC-DC converters and CAN transceivers. Use Value: 500 W peak power rating withstands 100 ms load dump pulses; −65 °C to +150 °C rating covers under-hood thermal extremes. |
| Telecom Power Supply Input | Industrial Ethernet PHY Interface |
Use Scenario: 48 V DC input stage of PoE-powered network switches encountering AC-line coupled surges and lightning-induced ring waves. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage TVS on bulk input rail, coordinated with MOVs and gas discharge tubes for staged protection. Use Value: 64 V standoff allows margin above 48 V nominal while maintaining low clamping ratio (VC/VBR = 1.60) for minimal voltage overshoot. | Use Scenario: Data line protection for 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet PHYs connected to unshielded outdoor cabling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional-capable variant not used here; SMAJ64E3/TR13 serves as unidirectional clamp on PHY power pins (VDDIO). Use Value: 4.4 µA standby leakage avoids degrading PHY bias stability; DO-214AC footprint fits tight PCB spacing near RJ45 magnetics. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ64A-E3/5A (Vishay) | Identical VWM, VBR, VC, and PPP; same DO-214AC package; 100% tested per AEC-Q200 Grade 1 | Qualified for automotive electronics; tighter VBR tolerance (±5% vs ±10%) | Select when AEC-Q200 qualification or tighter parametric consistency is required |
| 1.5SMC64A (ON Semiconductor) | Same electrical specs but SMC (DO-214AB) package - 1.5 mm taller, 0.2 mm wider; 15.6 W max TA derating | Higher thermal mass but requires larger PCB footprint; identical IEC61000-4-5 Class 1 capability | Choose if existing layout accommodates SMC or higher steady-state power margin is needed |
Compared with SMAJ64E3/TR13, SMAJ64A-E3/5A offers automotive-grade screening and tighter VBR control, while 1.5SMC64A provides greater thermal mass in a physically larger package - both require validation of mechanical fit and thermal interface in target designs.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMAJ64E3/TR13 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMAJ64E3/TR13 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 114 V at 4.4 A peak pulse current (IPP) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 2 in the Microsemi datasheet and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Is SMAJ64E3/TR13 RoHS compliant and what does the 'e3' suffix indicate?
Yes, SMAJ64E3/TR13 is RoHS compliant. The 'e3' suffix explicitly denotes annealed matte-tin plating on the DO-214AC terminals, qualified per JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity and compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. This matches Microsemi's stated RoHS-compliant manufacturing process for the SMAJ-e3 family.
Can SMAJ64E3/TR13 be used for bidirectional transient protection?
No, SMAJ64E3/TR13 is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the absence of 'C' or 'CA' in its part number. Bidirectional variants (e.g., SMAJ64CA-E3/TR13) are separately specified with symmetrical clamping in both polarities. Using SMAJ64E3/TR13 on AC-coupled or floating signal lines without polarity control risks failure during negative transients.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for SMAJ64E3/TR13 on a standard FR4 PCB?
When mounted on an FR4 printed circuit board with 1 oz copper and Microsemi's recommended footprint, SMAJ64E3/TR13 dissipates up to 1.56 W at 25 °C ambient temperature (TA). At lead temperature (TL) of 75 °C, its steady-state rating increases to 5 W - reflecting its 15 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance and suitability for thermally anchored layouts.
Does SMAJ64E3/TR13 meet IEC61000-4-5 for lightning surge immunity?
Yes, SMAJ64E3/TR13 is validated for secondary lightning surge protection per IEC61000-4-5 with both 12 Ω and 42 Ω source impedances. It supports Class 1 (up to SMAJ30A/CA) and Class 2 (up to SMAJ16A/CA) under 12 Ω, and Class 1–4 under 42 Ω - confirming its use in telecom, industrial, and automotive systems requiring standardized surge immunity.
