Product details
Overview
3.0SMCJ85AQ-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 3000W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary overvoltage protection in automotive power rails and industrial DC inputs. It features a 85V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 94.4V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 137V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 21.9A peak pulse current (IPP), and IEC-61000-4-2 ESD immunity of 30kV (air/contact). It is used to safeguard 24V/48V battery-fed ECUs against load dump and ISO 7637-2 transients.
For engineers reviewing the 3.0SMCJ85AQ-13 datasheet, 3.0SMCJ85AQ-13 pinout, 3.0SMCJ85AQ-13 application, or 3.0SMCJ85AQ-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to system rail, peak pulse current capability under 10/1000μs waveform, thermal derating above +25°C ambient, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive deployment.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 94.4–104.3V breakdown range at 1.0mA test current. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<5μA at 85V VRWM).
It sustains 3000W non-repetitive peak pulse power per 10×1000μs waveform, with thermal derating beginning at +25°C and full derating to zero at +150°C ambient. The device is rated for -55°C to +150°C operating junction temperature and complies with AEC-Q101 stress testing for automotive reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 3000W - withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) without failure |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 85V - blocks normal 24V/48V system operation while allowing margin for ripple and transients |
| Clamping Voltage | 137V max at 21.9A - limits downstream IC voltage during 10/1000μs surge to safe level |
| Breakdown Voltage | 94.4–104.3V at 1.0mA - defines precise conduction onset threshold for predictable protection timing |
| ESD Rating | 30kV air / 30kV contact per IEC-61000-4-2 - protects against human handling events in assembly and service |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +150°C - supports under-hood automotive placement and industrial high-temp environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), surface-mount, molded plastic body with matte tin-plated leads; UL 94V-0 flammability rating; moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink node | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when voltage exceeds VBR |
| Anode | Reference/ground return path | Must be low-inductance connection to system ground plane to minimize clamping overshoot |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use with PPAP support, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and change control |
| Glass-passivated die | Ensures stable VBR over temperature and lifetime, with <5μA IR at VRWM |
| 3000W peak pulse rating | Handles worst-case load dump (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) on 24V/48V systems |
| RoHS-compliant & "Green" | Halogen- and antimony-free; <900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb - meets global environmental mandates |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ85A-13-F | Lower peak power (400W), same VRWM (85V), higher VC (139V), SMA package (smaller thermal mass) | Not suitable for load dump; limited to ESD and low-energy transients in space-constrained consumer designs | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications with <5A IPP requirements |
| 1.5SMC85A-Q | Same 3000W rating and SMC package, but AEC-Q101 certified with tighter VBR tolerance (±5% vs ±6.5%) | Identical functional role; preferred where PPAP documentation and extended reliability validation are mandatory | Choose when full automotive traceability and extended temperature life testing are required |
Compared with SMAJ85A-13-F, 3.0SMCJ85AQ-13 delivers 7.5× higher surge energy handling and automotive-grade thermal robustness; versus 1.5SMC85A-Q, it offers identical performance but with Diodes' Q-suffix change control and documented IATF 16949 sourcing.

FAQ
What does the 'Q' suffix in 3.0SMCJ85AQ-13 indicate?
The 'Q' suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, meaning the device has passed stress tests for automotive applications including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing, and ESD. It is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation for OEM programs.
Can 3.0SMCJ85AQ-13 replace a bidirectional TVS in a 24V system?
No - this is a unidirectional device with cathode marking and designed for DC systems with defined polarity. Using it in place of a bidirectional TVS on AC-coupled or polarity-agnostic lines risks failure during reverse-voltage transients. Select 3.0SMCJ85CA-13 for bidirectional operation.
How does thermal derating affect clamping performance at +105°C ambient?
At +105°C, peak pulse power drops to ~65% of rated 3000W (≈1950W), reducing maximum sustainable IPP to ~14.2A. Clamping voltage remains stable, but sustained surge repetition must be reduced to avoid junction overheating and parametric shift.
Is the SMC package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free assembly?
Yes - the SMC package is rated for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260°C. Its moisture sensitivity level 1 allows unlimited floor life, eliminating bake requirements before assembly.
