# SMDJ36CA-AT

**Brightking Elec (TAIWAN)** · TVS · SMC(DO-214AB)

SMDJ36CA-AT from Brightking Elec (TAIWAN), in a SMC(DO-214AB). 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 | Terminal 1 | passive | Bidirectional TVS terminal (SMDJ36CA-AT, VRWM 36V, VBR 40.00~44.20V, VC 58.1V at 51.6A IPP) with no polarity, so the color band does not apply and it is interchangeable with the other terminal. |
| 2 | Terminal 2 | passive | Bidirectional TVS terminal (SMDJ36CA-AT, VRWM 36V, VBR 40.00~44.20V, VC 58.1V at 51.6A IPP) with no polarity, so it is interchangeable with the other terminal. |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `SMDJ36CA-AT`
- Footprint: `Diode_SMD:D_SMC`
- 3D model: SMC(DO-214AB) (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
- 3D model files: `smdj36ca-at-etched.step` / `smdj36ca-at-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `smdj36ca-at.step` / `smdj36ca-at.glb` are the bare package body.
