SMCJ160A-13-F from Diodes Incorporated, in a SMC. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | K | passive | Cathode terminal, marked by the cathode band on the unidirectional SMCJ160A; connect to the protected line, with a reverse standoff voltage of 160V and a breakdown of 178V to 197V at 1.0mA. |
| 2 | A | passive | Anode terminal, the end opposite the cathode band, normally connected to ground; clamps at 259V at 5.8A peak pulse current. |
