Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P4SMA6.5CA TR13 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff: 6.5V (exact match required)
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 11.2V (exact match required)
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 35.7A (exact match required)
• Power - Peak Pulse: 400W (exact match required)
• Package / Case: DO-214AC, SMA (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 150°C (exact match required)
• Type: Zener, Bidirectional, Single Channel (exact match required)

The SMAJ6.5CA-13-F from Diodes Incorporated meets all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution.
