Product details
Overview
SMDA24-6E3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip Technology) is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) array in SO-8 package, rated for 300 W peak pulse power (8/20 µs), 24 V standoff voltage (VWM), and clamping voltage of 43 V at 1 A. It protects six I/O lines in industrial and telecom interface circuits against ESD (IEC 61000-4-2), EFT (IEC 61000-4-4), and lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the SMDA24-6E3/TR13 datasheet, SMDA24-6E3/TR13 pinout, SMDA24-6E3/TR13 application, or SMDA24-6E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include VWM ≥ circuit operating voltage, clamping performance under 1–5 A surge current, SO-8 board-level mounting compatibility, and leakage current ≤1 µA at 24 V.
Technical Context
This TVS array implements six independent unidirectional avalanche diode junctions in a single SO-8 package, each with a minimum breakdown voltage of 26.7 V and maximum clamping voltage of 55 V at 5 A. Its thermal design supports continuous operation from –55 °C to +150 °C, and its low 88 pF line-to-ground capacitance at 1 MHz enables use on high-speed data lines without signal integrity degradation.
The device uses standard SO-8 leadframe construction with defined Pin 1 dot marking, adheres to EIA-481-1-A tape-and-reel packaging (13" reel, 2500 pcs), and is optimized for board-level protection-no external biasing or control logic required.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A | Single-line SMA package; 400 W peak power; 38.9 V clamping @ 1 A; 100 pF capacitance | Requires six discrete placements; higher clamping voltage increases risk to 3.3 V/5 V logic; unsuitable for space-constrained layouts | Select when discrete placement is preferred or SO-8 footprint is unavailable; verify layout clearance for six SMA devices |
| SP1003-02HTG | Bi-directional configuration; 150 W peak power; 33 V clamping @ 1 A; 15 pF capacitance | Not suitable for DC-biased lines like 24 V I/O; lower power rating limits use in high-energy surge zones | Prefer for AC-coupled or symmetrical signal lines (e.g., USB D+/D–); avoid where unidirectional blocking is required |

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage rating of SMDA24-6E3/TR13?
The SMDA24-6E3/TR13 has a standoff voltage (VWM) of 24 V, meaning it remains non-conductive under continuous 24 V DC or RMS conditions. This value is selected to match standard 24 V industrial control and telecom interface rails, ensuring no leakage or false triggering during normal operation while providing margin for ripple and tolerance.
How many protected lines does SMDA24-6E3/TR13 support?
SMDA24-6E3/TR13 supports exactly six unidirectional data or interface lines, with Pins 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 8 serving as individual anode connections and Pins 4 and 5 tied to common cathode (GND). This configuration eliminates the need for six separate TVS diodes and simplifies routing on dense I/O boards.
Is SMDA24-6E3/TR13 compliant with IEC 61000-4-2 and IEC 61000-4-4?
Yes, SMDA24-6E3/TR13 is explicitly designed and tested to meet IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD) up to ±30 kV contact discharge and IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT) up to ±4 kV, as confirmed in the MSC0332A.PDF datasheet. Its 300 W peak power rating and fast response time ensure robust immunity in real-world industrial and telecom surge environments.
What is the clamping voltage of SMDA24-6E3/TR13 at 5 A surge current?
At 5 A (8/20 µs pulse), the SMDA24-6E3/TR13 clamps to a maximum of 55 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during high-current transients, critical for ensuring downstream 24 V-rated transceivers remain within safe operating area.
Does SMDA24-6E3/TR13 require external biasing or control circuitry?
No, SMDA24-6E3/TR13 is a passive, self-contained TVS array requiring no external bias, enable signals, or control logic. It operates solely based on voltage threshold conduction-each of its six unidirectional elements activates automatically when line voltage exceeds VBR (~26.7 V), diverting surge current to GND without intervention.
What is the capacitance of SMDA24-6E3/TR13 and how does it affect high-speed interfaces?
SMDA24-6E3/TR13 exhibits 88 pF capacitance per line at 1 MHz and 0 V bias. This low value ensures minimal loading on 24 V digital I/O, RS-485, and CAN interfaces-preserving signal rise/fall times and avoiding timing violations in systems operating up to 10 Mbps, as verified in application circuits documented for the SMDAxx-6 family.
