Product details
Overview
3.0SMCJ6.0A-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 3000W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary-level overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 6.0V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 6.67–7.37V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 10mA, 10.3V max clamping voltage (VC) at 291.3A peak pulse current, and IEC-61000-4-2 ESD immunity of 30kV (air/contact). It is used in automotive body control modules to protect CAN transceiver inputs against load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses.
For engineers reviewing the 3.0SMCJ6.0A-13 datasheet, 3.0SMCJ6.0A-13 pinout, 3.0SMCJ6.0A-13 application, or 3.0SMCJ6.0A-13 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SMC package mechanical data, clamping performance under 10/1000μs surge, thermal derating behavior, and direct alternatives with documented voltage and current differences.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a silicon avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold (6.67–7.37V), rapidly shunting surge current to ground while limiting clamped voltage to ≤10.3V. Its glass-passivated die ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1000µA at VRWM).
It complies with IEC-61000-4-2 Level 4 (30kV air/contact), HBM (8kV), CDM (1kV), and MM (800V) ESD standards. Thermal operation spans –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, with pulse derating above +25°C per Fig. 1 in the datasheet.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 3000W - sustains single 10×1000μs surges up to 291.3A without failure |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 6.0V - maximum continuous DC operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1000µA |
| Breakdown Voltage | 6.67–7.37V @ 10mA - precise avalanche onset range enabling predictable turn-on margin |
| Clamping Voltage | 10.3V @ 291.3A - limits protected circuit voltage during worst-case surge, preserving downstream ICs |
| ESD Rating | 30kV air/contact per IEC-61000-4-2 - withstands industrial and automotive electrostatic discharge events |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ6.0A-13 | Lower peak power (600W), same VRWM (6.0V), higher VC (10.5V @ 57.1A) | Suitable only for lower-energy threats (e.g., ESD-only); insufficient for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a | Select when board space is constrained and surge threat level is limited to IEC 61000-4-2/4-4. |
| 1.5SMCJ6.0A-13 | Same VRWM (6.0V) but lower PPK (1500W), identical SMC package and pinout | Supports moderate surges (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2), not full load dump | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 3000W headroom is unnecessary and thermal budget is tighter. |
Compared with SMBJ6.0A-13 and 1.5SMCJ6.0A-13, the 3.0SMCJ6.0A-13 provides double the surge energy handling of the latter and five times that of the former-critical for automotive load dump compliance without external series impedance or staged protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 3.0SMCJ6.0A-13 under a 10×1000μs surge?
The maximum clamping voltage is 10.3V at 291.3A peak pulse current, measured per the 10×1000μs waveform defined in Figure 2 of DS30818. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by downstream circuitry during worst-case transient events.
Is the 3.0SMCJ6.0A-13 suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No - it is a unidirectional TVS diode with a cathode band marking, intended for DC-biased lines like power rails or CAN_H/CAN_L with common-mode referencing. For bidirectional protection (e.g., USB, RS-485), use the bi-directional variant 3.0SMCJ6.0CA-13, which has symmetric clamping in both polarities.
Does this part meet AEC-Q200 qualification requirements?
The 3.0SMCJ6.0A-13 is not AEC-Q200 qualified; however, Diodes offers automotive-grade equivalents with Q-suffix (e.g., 3.0SMCJ6.0AQ-13) that are PPAP-capable, manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities, and qualified to AEC-Q200 Rev D for passive components.
How does the SMC package compare to SMA or SMB in terms of thermal performance?
The SMC package offers ~2.5× the thermal mass and ~3× the PCB copper pad area of SMA/SMB, enabling higher surge energy absorption and reduced thermal resistance. With 8.00mm² mounting pads, it achieves full 3000W rating at +25°C and maintains >70% rating at +100°C per Figure 1 derating curve.
