Product details
Overview
5.0SMDJ26A from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for high-energy surge protection in DC power lines and I/O interfaces. It delivers 5000W peak pulse power at 10/1000μs, clamps transients to 42.1V at 119A, and features a 26V working standoff voltage with <2µA leakage at VWM. It is used in AC/DC power supplies to protect downstream regulators and controllers from lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the 5.0SMDJ26A datasheet, 5.0SMDJ26A pinout, 5.0SMDJ26A application, or 5.0SMDJ26A equivalent, key selection criteria include its 28.9–31.9V breakdown range, DO-214AB (SMC) package thermal performance (RθJA = 61°C/W), unidirectional polarity marking, and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance - all critical for industrial power rail hardening.
Technical Context
The 5.0SMDJ26A employs a stacked-die construction in a DO-214AB (SMC) package to achieve 5000W peak pulse power handling while maintaining fast response (<1.0ps) and low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.32). Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction capability (VF = 5V @ 100A) and reverse blocking up to 26V.
Thermally, it supports junction temperatures from –55°C to +175°C, with RθJL = 16°C/W and RθJC = 17°C/W when mounted on a 16mm × 16mm copper pad PCB - enabling reliable operation under repetitive surge stress in compact power designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 26 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; sets safe DC bias margin for 24V systems. |
| VBR min/max | 28.9 V / 31.9 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 1 mA test current; defines minimum surge threshold activation level. |
| VC @ IPP | 42.1 V - Clamped voltage at 119 A peak pulse current; determines maximum stress imposed on protected ICs. |
| PPPPM | 5000 W - Peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 µs waveform; quantifies single-event surge energy absorption capacity. |
| IIB @ VWM | <2 µA - Reverse leakage at rated standoff voltage; ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity in high-impedance circuits. |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables use in high-ambient environments like enclosed power supplies or automotive under-hood locations. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AB (SMC), surface-mount, cathode-indicated by molded band. Matte tin-plated leads, RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, UL 94V-0 molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction path / low-side return | Connects to system ground or low-voltage rail; conducts during positive transients when device is forward-biased. |
| Cathode | Protected line input / high-side connection | Connects to the line being protected (e.g., +24V rail); blocks reverse current until breakdown voltage is exceeded. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5000W peak pulse power | Enables robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4kV/2Ω) surges without derating in standard PCB layouts. |
| Clamping voltage ≤42.1V | Ensures protected 3.3V/5V/12V logic and power ICs remain below absolute maximum ratings during 119A transients. |
| Fast response time <1.0ps | Prevents voltage overshoot before clamping engages - critical for safeguarding high-speed interface ICs and microcontrollers. |
| DO-214AB (SMC) package | Supports automated SMT placement and delivers superior thermal dissipation vs. smaller packages (e.g., SMA), with RθJA = 61°C/W. |
Applications
| AC/DC Power Supply Input Protection | I/O Interface Surge Suppression |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Installed across primary-side DC bus (e.g., after bridge rectifier, before bulk capacitor) in industrial switch-mode power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS diode acting as crowbar clamp during line-to-ground surges (e.g., lightning-induced ring waves). Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤42.1V, preventing overvoltage failure of downstream PWM controllers, optocouplers, and gate drivers. | Use Scenario: Placed on RS-485, CAN, or Ethernet PHY data lines exposed to ESD and induced surges in factory automation equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff protector that remains non-conductive during normal signaling but clamps fast-rising transients to safe levels. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity with <2µA leakage at 26V while absorbing 5000W pulses - preserving data rate and reducing bit error rates. |
| Motor Drive DC Bus Clamp | Telecom Line Card Protection |
Use Scenario: Mounted across DC link capacitors in 24V/48V BLDC motor drives to absorb regenerative spikes and inductive kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-power unidirectional clamp suppressing repetitive switching transients and load dump events. Use Value: Withstands 175°C junction temperature and 119A peak current, extending reliability in thermally constrained motor control enclosures. | Use Scenario: Integrated into POTS or xDSL line interface cards to meet GR-1089-CORE telecom surge immunity requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-level surge arrestor on tip/ring lines, coordinated with secondary GDT or MOV stages. Use Value: Provides precise 26V standoff and low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.32), enabling tighter coordination margins and reduced follow-on current stress. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ26A | Lower peak power (600W), same DO-214AA package, 26V VWM, 42.1V VC @ 14.3A | Not suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4; limited to lower-energy ESD and EFT events. | Select SMBJ26A only for space-constrained, low-surge-risk applications where 5000W headroom is unnecessary. |
| 5.0SMDJ26CA | Bi-directional variant; identical VWM, VBR, and VC, but symmetric clamping for AC-coupled or floating lines. | Required for differential or AC signal paths (e.g., audio, analog sensors); unsuitable for DC-biased unidirectional rails. | Choose 5.0SMDJ26CA when protecting balanced lines or circuits without defined ground reference - otherwise, 5.0SMDJ26A offers lower leakage and better forward conduction. |
Compared with SMBJ26A and 5.0SMDJ26CA, the 5.0SMDJ26A uniquely balances high 5000W surge capacity, unidirectional low-leakage operation, and DO-214AB thermal robustness - making it optimal for DC power rail protection where energy absorption and thermal margin are prioritized over bidirectional symmetry or ultra-small footprint.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for the 5.0SMDJ26A?
The 5.0SMDJ26A has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 28.9 V to 31.9 V at 1 mA test current, measured per JEDEC standards. This range ensures consistent surge initiation across production lots and allows design margining for worst-case activation thresholds in 24V systems. The 5.0SMDJ26A maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range (–55°C to +175°C).
Does the 5.0SMDJ26A support automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the 5.0SMDJ26A uses the DO-214AB (SMC) package with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability requirements. Its standardized footprint, moisture sensitivity level 1 (per J-STD-020), and glass-passivated junction make it fully compatible with high-volume reflow and wave soldering processes - eliminating pre-baking and supporting direct placement in automated lines.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 5.0SMDJ26A under surge conditions?
The 5.0SMDJ26A clamps to a maximum of 42.1 V at its rated peak pulse current of 119 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is guaranteed across all units and represents the highest voltage seen by downstream components during worst-case surge events - a critical parameter for ensuring compatibility with 3.3V, 5V, and 12V IC absolute maximum ratings.
How does the 5.0SMDJ26A handle thermal stress during repeated surges?
The 5.0SMDJ26A is rated for a maximum junction temperature of +175°C and exhibits RθJA = 61°C/W and RθJL = 16°C/W when mounted on a 16 mm × 16 mm copper pad. These thermal metrics enable effective heat dissipation during repetitive surge events, allowing the 5.0SMDJ26A to sustain multiple 5000W pulses without thermal runaway - provided PCB layout follows recommended pad dimensions and copper weight.
Is the 5.0SMDJ26A RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the 5.0SMDJ26A meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Its molding compound is UL 94V-0 rated, and terminals pass JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing - confirming suitability for environmentally regulated industrial, telecom, and consumer applications where material compliance is mandatory.
