Product details
Overview
3.0SMCJ28A-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 3000W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode with 28V reverse standoff voltage, 31.1–34.4V breakdown range at 1mA, and 45.4V max clamping voltage at 66.1A peak pulse current. It provides IEC-61000-4-2 ESD protection (30kV air/30kV contact), HBM 8kV, and operates from –55°C to +150°C in automotive and industrial power rail surge suppression.
For engineers reviewing the 3.0SMCJ28A-13 datasheet, 3.0SMCJ28A-13 pinout, 3.0SMCJ28A-13 application, or 3.0SMCJ28A-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin vs. protected IC VDD, peak pulse current handling under 10/1000μs transients, thermal derating above +25°C ambient, and SMC package solderability per MIL-STD-202.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses glass-passivated silicon junction construction for stable breakdown and low leakage (<5μA at 28V). Its unidirectional configuration features a cathode band for polarity identification and is optimized for DC power line protection where reverse conduction must be blocked during normal operation.
The device meets JEDEC high-reliability standards and is rated for 3000W non-repetitive peak pulse power per 10×1000μs waveform. Clamping performance is specified at TA = +25°C with derating above that temperature per Figure 1, and it supports surge currents up to 300A (8.3ms half-sine) when mounted on 8.00mm² copper land patterns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 3000W - sustains single 10×1000μs transients without failure |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 28.0V - maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage before significant leakage |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 31.1–34.4V @ 1mA - ensures reliable turn-on before downstream IC overvoltage |
| Max Clamping Voltage (VC) | 45.4V @ 66.1A - limits voltage seen by protected circuit during surge |
| ESD Rating | 30kV air / 30kV contact per IEC-61000-4-2 - withstands common electrostatic discharge events |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +150°C - suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| Package | SMC (DO-214AB) - surface-mount footprint with 7.75–8.13mm body length and 2.75–3.18mm thickness |
Pinout & Package

| Low clamping ratio (VC/VRWM = 1.62) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on downstream regulators and microcontrollers |
| HBM 8kV / CDM 1kV ESD rating | Provides robust handling protection during PCB assembly and field service |
Applications
| Automotive Power Distribution | Industrial PLC I/O Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 24V battery-fed control modules exposed to load dump and alternator transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between fused 24V rail and DC-DC converter input. Use Value: Clamps ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (75V/100ms) to ≤45.4V, protecting 40V-rated buck controller ICs. |
Use Scenario: 24V digital input channels on programmable logic controllers subject to field wiring surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary surge clamp on each isolated input channel before optocoupler or Schmitt trigger. Use Value: Limits transient energy to safe levels for 5V logic interface ICs while maintaining <5μA leakage at 24V nominal. |
| Telecom Power Supply Input | Renewable Energy Charge Controller |
Use Scenario: 48V PoE-powered equipment front-end subjected to lightning-induced surges on Ethernet cabling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary TVS stage after gas discharge tube (GDT), absorbing residual energy after GDT crowbar. Use Value: Provides fast-response clamping (ns-scale) with 45.4V ceiling, preventing damage to 52V-rated DC-DC controllers. |
Use Scenario: Solar panel input stage of MPPT charge controller facing induced surges from nearby lightning strikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional-capable variant used (3.0SMCJ28CA-13), but unidirectional version applied where polarity is fixed and reverse blocking required. Use Value: Withstands 3000W pulses while maintaining <5μA leakage at 28V VRWM, ensuring minimal daytime standby loss. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ28A-13 (Diodes Inc.) | Same VRWM and VC, but lower 600W PPK; SMB package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Suitable only for lower-energy transients (e.g., IEC 61000-4-4 level 3), not load dump | Select when board space is constrained and surge threat level is limited to EFT or ESD only. |
| 1.5SMCJ28A (ON Semiconductor) | Identical electrical specs and SMC package; minor differences in leakage (≤10μA vs. ≤5μA) and marking code | Drop-in replacement in most designs; validated for AEC-Q101 automotive qualification | Choose when dual-sourcing or automotive PPAP compliance is required beyond Diodes' JEDEC qualification. |
Compared with SMBJ28A-13, 3.0SMCJ28A-13 delivers five times higher surge energy handling in the same SMC footprint; versus 1.5SMCJ28A, it offers tighter leakage control and identical clamping but requires verification of second-source qualification status for safety-critical use.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 3.0SMCJ28A-13 under a 10×1000μs transient?
The maximum clamping voltage is 45.4V at 66.1A peak pulse current, measured per the 10×1000μs waveform defined in Figure 2 of DS30818 Rev. 18-2. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and represents the upper limit of voltage imposed on the protected circuit during worst-case surge conditions.
Is the 3.0SMCJ28A-13 suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No - the "A" suffix indicates unidirectional configuration with a cathode band. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or data buses), the "CA" variant (3.0SMCJ28CA-13) must be used, which has symmetrical breakdown in both directions and no polarity marking.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for optimal thermal performance?
Mount the device on 8.00mm² (minimum) copper land areas per terminal, as specified in Note 6 of DS30818. The suggested SMC pad layout (C=6.90mm, G=4.40mm, X=2.50mm, X1=9.40mm, Y=3.30mm) ensures adequate heat dissipation and mechanical reliability during reflow and thermal cycling.
Does the 3.0SMCJ28A-13 meet AEC-Q200 requirements for passive components?
No - this part is qualified to JEDEC high-reliability standards and supports automotive applications via change control, but it is not AEC-Q200 certified. For AEC-Q200 compliance, select the Q-suffix automotive-grade variant (e.g., 3.0SMCJ28AQ-13) listed in Diodes' automotive product portfolio.
