Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SMBJ60CE3/TR13 are qualified based on equivalence in the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 60V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 66.7V
• Package / Case: DO-214AA, SMB (mechanical compatibility)
• Bidirectional Channels: 1
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Category: Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS)

Acceptable Variations in Substitute Parts:

• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: Within the TVS protection envelope (96.8V to 107V range)
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 5.6A to 6.2A (higher current handling remains compatible)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to -65°C minimum acceptable
• Power - Peak Pulse: 600W (constant across main and substitute parts)

Substitute parts meeting these criteria maintain functional equivalence for general-purpose transient voltage suppression applications while ensuring physical and electrical compatibility with the original design.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All qualified substitute parts—SMBJ60CA (MDD) and SMBJ60CA-13-F (Diodes Incorporated)—maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, confirming their suitability for current production designs. The substitute parts demonstrate compliance with REACH regulations and possess identical moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1, Unlimited), ensuring storage and handling compatibility with the original SMBJ60CE3/TR13.

The clamping voltage variations (96.8V for substitutes versus 107V for the original) remain within acceptable transient suppression performance envelopes for general-purpose applications. The elevated peak pulse current capability in substitute parts (6.2A versus 5.6A) presents enhanced performance margins without compromising application compatibility.

Operating temperature ranges for substitutes span -50°C to -55°C minimum ratings compared to the original -65°C specification. Selection between equivalents depends on specific application thermal requirements and supply chain availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes SMBJ60CA and SMBJ60CA-13-F equivalent to the SMBJ60CE3/TR13?

A: Equivalence is established through identical voltage ratings (60V standoff, 66.7V breakdown minimum), matching package specifications (DO-214AA, SMB), single bidirectional channel configuration, and equivalent power dissipation (600W peak pulse). All devices function as transient voltage suppressors in identical mounting and application contexts.

Q: How do clamping voltage differences affect part substitution?

A: The SMBJ60CA and SMBJ60CA-13-F operate at 96.8V clamping compared to the original 107V. Both values remain within the transient suppression protection envelope established by the 66.7V minimum breakdown voltage. The lower clamping voltage in substitutes provides tighter suppression margins without introducing incompatibility with general-purpose protection applications.

Q: Are there temperature range considerations when selecting substitutes?

A: The original SMBJ60CE3/TR13 operates from -65°C to 150°C. Substitute SMBJ60CA (MDD) operates from -50°C, and SMBJ60CA-13-F (Diodes Incorporated) operates from -55°C. Selection should confirm that the minimum operating temperature of the chosen substitute meets application environmental specifications.

Q: Do package and mounting specifications remain identical across all equivalent parts?

A: All parts utilize identical DO-214AA/SMB surface mount packaging in Tape & Reel format. No PCB footprint modifications, reflow profile adjustments, or mechanical design changes are required when substituting between qualified equivalents.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All equivalent parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected classification, MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and Active product status. No additional qualification, testing, or compliance documentation is necessary beyond the original design certification.
