That's in the standard library. It behaves like a symmetric zener.
Why? Does "type" do that? There are unipolar TVS diodes, too.

it shouldn't and when I just tried it didn't. Vfwd 0.7V, Vrev 38.65 if I change Vfwd and Vrev ot the same it gets symmetrical
type and mfg is not part of the model parameters if you try to make a model with them you get and error, afaict they are just for the selection dialog
Try this:

What am I missing?

D1 is symmetric, as expected from the model; Vfwd = Vrev .model SMBJ24CA D(Ron=.65 Roff=50Meg Vfwd=25 epsilon=6 Vrev=25 revepsilon=6 Vpk=24 mfg=Littlefuse type=TVS)
D2 is not, as expected from the model; Vfwd != Vrev .model SMCJ33A D(Ron=.4 Roff=8Meg Vfwd=.7 epsilon=100m Vrev=38.65 Vpk=33 revepsilon=4 mfg=Littlefuse type=TVS)
don't know, what do you see?
Oh, they hijacked Vfwd. I missed that.
I got up at 5 AM. That's my excuse.
