Hi, Can someone confirm this is a TVS, and which one? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/digikey/original/3X/9/c/9c255ef4a4dc352fd5b42deb87268b6593164938.jpeg) I am remaking this PCB and the PCB making place says they cannot put the part on the provided area. I either have the footprint wrong or the part wrong. Or possibly both. Something with this footprint… ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/digikey/original/3X/6/6/660200903519a11249cfdc4723d252f003cfa9a6.png) ---

Hi [Eddiie](https://forum.digikey.com/u/Eddiie), Yes, that’s a unipolar TVS. Pretty certain it’s an SMA package, and that logo is the old General Semiconductor logo, now part of Vishay. “AE” refers to 5.0V, so the [SMAJ5.0A-E3/61](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/vishay-general-semiconductor-diodes-division/SMAJ5-0A-E3-61/1091511) seems like the part in question. From [datasheet](https://www.vishay.com/docs/88390/smaj50a.pdf): ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/digikey/original/3X/9/8/98d87d7ffc4324dd074a9226cf042157187d0ac5.png)
