Product details
Overview
SMDA24C-5E3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip Technology) is a 5-line bidirectional 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 43 V clamping voltage at 1 A. It protects I/O transceivers, microprocessors, and memory interfaces against ESD (IEC 61000-4-2), EFT (IEC 61000-4-4), and lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the SMDA24C-5E3/TR13 datasheet, SMDA24C-5E3/TR13 pinout, SMDA24C-5E3/TR13 application, or SMDA24C-5E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include VWM ≥ 24 V circuit operating voltage, sub-35 pF line capacitance for high-speed data integrity, and SO-8 footprint compatibility with board-level ESD protection layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS array uses silicon avalanche diode technology to provide fast-response (sub-nanosecond) clamping across five independent bidirectional channels. Each channel features symmetrical breakdown (VBR min = 26.7 V, max = 30 V @ 1 mA) and low leakage (<1 µA @ 24 V).
The device operates from –55 °C to +150 °C and maintains stable clamping performance under repeated surge stress (<0.01% duty cycle). Its SO-8 layout integrates a common GND terminal (Pin 5) with four signal lines (Pins 1, 2, 3, 4) and two no-connect terminals (Pins 6, 7), enabling compact routing for multi-line interface protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Standoff Voltage (VWM) | 24 V - Maximum continuous operating voltage before conduction begins; matches 24 V industrial I/O bus systems. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 26.7–30 V @ 1 mA - Ensures reliable triggering above normal signal swing while avoiding false trips. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 43 V @ 1 A, 55 V @ 5 A - Limits transient energy delivered to downstream ICs during ESD/EFT events. |
| Peak Pulse Power | 300 W (8/20 µs) - Withstands IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surges (1 kV source impedance) on protected lines. |
| Line Capacitance | 35 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - Low enough to avoid signal integrity degradation on RS-485, CAN, or USB 2.0 lines. |
| Operating Temperature | –55 °C to +150 °C - Supports deployment in automotive engine control units and industrial motor drives. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A-Q | Single-line unidirectional TVS; 24 V VWM, 38.9 V VC @ 1 A; 1.5 kW peak power; SMA package. | Requires five discrete devices and additional routing; lacks integrated multi-line GND reference. | Use when higher single-line surge margin is needed and board space allows discrete implementation. |
| SP1015-050 | 5-line bidirectional array; 24 V VWM; 40 V VC @ 1 A; 200 W peak power; 25 pF capacitance; SO-8. | Lower clamping voltage but reduced surge rating; optimized for USB 2.0 rather than industrial EFT. | Prefer for consumer-grade USB/HDMI ports where lower capacitance outweighs 300 W requirement. |
Compared with SMAJ24A-Q and SP1015-050, the SMDA24C-5E3/TR13 uniquely balances 300 W surge capacity, SO-8 integration, and 35 pF capacitance-making it optimal for industrial RS-485 and automotive LIN where both robustness and layout efficiency are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage rating of the SMDA24C-5E3/TR13?
The SMDA24C-5E3/TR13 has a standoff voltage (VWM) of 24 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this DC or continuous peak AC voltage. This rating ensures compatibility with 24 V industrial control buses and prevents false triggering during normal operation while still responding rapidly to transients exceeding 26.7 V breakdown threshold.
Does the SMDA24C-5E3/TR13 meet IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity standards?
Yes, the SMDA24C-5E3/TR13 is designed and characterized to meet IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±15 kV contact, ±20 kV air discharge). Its sub-nanosecond response time and 43 V clamping voltage at 1 A ensure protected circuits remain functional after repeated ESD events without parameter shift or latent damage.
How many protected lines does the SMDA24C-5E3/TR13 support?
The SMDA24C-5E3/TR13 provides protection for four bidirectional signal lines plus a common ground (Pin 5), totaling five active protection paths. Pins 6 and 7 are no-connect terminals per the SO-8 mechanical drawing and internal die configuration, confirmed in MSC0331A.PDF revision N.
What is the line-to-line capacitance of the SMDA24C-5E3/TR13?
The SMDA24C-5E3/TR13 exhibits 35 pF typical capacitance per line at 0 V bias and 1 MHz, measured across each protected channel to ground. This value is verified in the Electrical Characteristics table of MSC0331A.PDF and enables use on 10+ Mbps serial interfaces without measurable signal distortion or timing skew.
Is the SMDA24C-5E3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the SMDA24C-5E3/TR13 is qualified for standard lead-free reflow per J-STD-020, with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C. Its SO-8 package and molding compound withstand IPC/JEDEC moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), eliminating pre-bake requirements for most production environments.
