Additional Details

The SMCG6061AE3/TR13 has a reverse standoff voltage of 61V, a breakdown voltage between 67.8V and 75V, and a clamping voltage around 97.7V at peak pulse current. Its operating temperature range is typically from -65°C to +150°C. The 'E3' suffix indicates compliance with specific environmental standards. This device is AEC-Q101 qualified, indicating its suitability for use in automotive applications where reliability and robustness are critical. The SMC package provides a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained designs. The fast response time allows the TVS diode to quickly clamp transient voltages, preventing them from reaching sensitive components. Its high surge capability ensures it can withstand high-energy transients without failure. The low clamping voltage helps limit the voltage across protected components, preventing overvoltage damage. The SMCG6061AE3/TR13 is an excellent choice for protecting automotive and industrial electronic equipment from voltage surges and ESD events, ensuring reliable operation even in harsh environments.
