Product details
Overview
3.0SMCJ24CA-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for high-energy surge protection in DC power lines and signal interfaces. It delivers 3000W peak pulse power dissipation, clamps transients to ≤38.9V at 77.1A (10/1000μs waveform), and maintains a 24V reverse standoff voltage with <5μA leakage at VRWM. It is used in industrial power supplies and automotive body control modules to protect downstream ICs from ESD and lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the 3.0SMCJ24CA-13 datasheet, 3.0SMCJ24CA-13 pinout, 3.0SMCJ24CA-13 application, or 3.0SMCJ24CA-13 equivalent, this device is selected for robust IEC-61000-4-2 ESD immunity (30kV air/30kV contact), low clamping ratio (VC/VRWM ≈ 1.62), and SMC package compatibility with high-current PCB layouts requiring ≥8mm² copper land area.
Technical Context
This bi-directional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities without cathode marking, enabling bidirectional surge suppression on AC-coupled or floating signal paths. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior under repetitive transient stress and supports operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature.
The device complies with JEDEC reliability standards and achieves 8kV HBM / 1kV CDM ESD ratings. Clamping performance is specified per 10×1000μs waveform, and thermal derating follows Fig. 1 - power drops to ~70% at +100°C ambient due to junction-to-ambient thermal resistance inherent to the SMC package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 3000W - sustains single 10×1000μs surges up to 77.1A without failure |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 24V - maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage before significant leakage |
| Clamping Voltage | 38.9V @ 77.1A - limits transient voltage seen by protected circuitry |
| Breakdown Voltage | 26.7–29.5V @ 1mA - defines sharp avalanche onset region for predictable triggering |
| Leakage Current | <5μA @ 24V - negligible standby power loss in always-on systems |
| ESD Rating | 30kV air / 30kV contact per IEC-61000-4-2 - exceeds Level 4 immunity requirements |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), surface-mount, molded plastic body with UL 94V-0 flammability rating; moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020; weight ≈ 0.21g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Terminal 1) | Surge current entry (negative polarity) | Connects to line being protected; forms symmetrical path with Cathode during negative transients |
| Cathode (Terminal 2) | Surge current entry (positive polarity) | Connects to line being protected; forms symmetrical path with Anode during positive transients |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bi-directional architecture | Eliminates need for polarity awareness in layout; protects AC or floating nodes without external diode pairing |
| Glass-passivated die | Ensures long-term stability of breakdown voltage and clamping consistency across temperature and life cycles |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VRWM) | 1.62 - minimizes overvoltage stress on protected ICs compared to higher-ratio TVS devices |
| RoHS-compliant & halogen-free | Meets EU Directive 2015/863/EU; Br+Cl <1500ppm, Sb <1000ppm - supports green manufacturing requirements |
Applications
| Industrial Power Input Protection | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: RS-485 communication lines in outdoor base stations subjected to induced lightning surges. IC Role / Device Role: Common-mode transient suppressor on differential pair shield and ground reference. Use Value: Symmetric clamping ensures equal protection on A/B lines; low leakage avoids signal integrity degradation at 10Mbps. |

IC Role / Device Role: Secondary clamping stage after MOV primary protection to limit residual overshoot. Use Value: Fast response (<1ps) and low dynamic impedance reduce voltage overshoot to safe levels for IGBT gate drivers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bi-directional TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24CA-13 (Diodes Inc.) | Same electrical specs but SMB package (lower 600W PPK rating) | Not suitable for 3000W surge events; limited to lower-energy interfaces like USB or CAN | Select only when board space is constrained and surge energy is ≤600W |
| 1.5SMCJ24CA (ON Semiconductor) | Identical 3000W rating and 24V VRWM, but lead finish differs (matte tin vs. annealed tin) | Same functional use; qualified to AEC-Q101 but lacks explicit IEC-61000-4-2 test reporting | Preferred for automotive PPAP programs requiring AEC-Q101 documentation traceability |
Compared with SMBJ24CA-13, the 3.0SMCJ24CA-13 enables higher surge handling in space-constrained SMC footprints; versus 1.5SMCJ24CA, it offers identical clamping but with Diodes' documented IEC-61000-4-2 validation and JEDEC-reliability assurance.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage for 3.0SMCJ24CA-13 under standard test conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage is 38.9V when subjected to a 77.1A peak pulse current using the 10×1000μs waveform defined in IEC 61000-4-5. This value is measured at TA = +25°C with proper PCB thermal relief (8.00mm² copper land area), and remains within specification across the full operating temperature range of –55°C to +150°C.
Is 3.0SMCJ24CA-13 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - while the standard 3.0SMCJ24CA-13 is not AEC-Q200 qualified, Diodes Incorporated offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., 3.0SMCJ24CAQ-13) with AEC-Q200 qualification, PPAP capability, and production in IATF 16949-certified facilities. The base part meets JEDEC high-reliability standards and shares identical electrical performance.
How does the bi-directional configuration affect PCB layout?
The bi-directional design eliminates polarity marking - no cathode band is present, and terminals are interchangeable. Layout requires symmetric trace routing and equal copper pour on both pads to maintain balanced clamping impedance. Thermal vias under both terminals are recommended to sustain 3000W pulse dissipation without localized overheating.
What is the minimum breakdown voltage and how is it tested?
The minimum breakdown voltage is 26.7V, measured at a 1.0mA test current (IT) using a 10–15ms ramped DC pulse. This parameter ensures reliable avalanche initiation before reaching the 38.9V clamping threshold, providing consistent protection margin across production lots and temperature extremes.
