Product details
Overview
5.0SMDJ26AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, rated for 5000W peak pulse power at 10/1000μs, 26V working standoff voltage, and clamps to 42.1V at 119A peak current. It delivers fast response (<1.0ps), AEC-Q101 qualification, and operates across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature for automotive I/O protection.
For engineers reviewing the 5.0SMDJ26AH datasheet, 5.0SMDJ26AH pinout, 5.0SMDJ26AH application, or 5.0SMDJ26AH equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (VC = 42.1V @ IPP = 119A), breakdown voltage range (28.9–31.9V), thermal resistance (RθJL = 16°C/W), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and unidirectional configuration with cathode band polarity marking.
Technical Context
The 5.0SMDJ26AH employs a stacked-die construction optimized for high-energy transient suppression in compact SMC packages. Its photo-glass passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance (IIB ≤ 2µA @ VWM = 26V) and robust ESD/EMI immunity under repetitive surge stress.
Designed for unidirectional operation only, it features a forward voltage of 5V @ 100A and integrates JESD201 Class 2 whisker-resistant matte tin plating. Thermal performance is characterized on a 16mm × 16mm copper PCB pad, delivering RθJA = 61°C/W and RθJC = 17°C/W for predictable board-level thermal design.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Automotive CAN Bus Protection | Industrial AC/DC Power Input |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CAN_H/CAN_L lines in vehicle ECUs against ISO 7637-2 pulse 1, 2a, and 5a surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between signal line and chassis ground to clamp induced transients. Use Value: Clamping at 42.1V ensures CAN transceivers (e.g., TJA1042) remain within absolute maximum ratings during 100V/500ms load dump events. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding rectified DC bus inputs of industrial SMPS against lightning-induced surges on AC mains. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-line TVS connected across bulk capacitor input to absorb differential-mode energy. Use Value: 5000W peak power rating handles 6kV/3kA surge waveforms per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 without degradation. |
| USB Type-C Port ESD Protection | Motor Drive Gate Driver Interface |
Use Scenario: Secondary-level ESD protection on VBUS and CC lines of automotive infotainment USB-C ports. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed after primary common-mode choke to suppress contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2 ±15kV. Use Value: Sub-1ps response captures fast ESD events before they couple into USB PD controllers (e.g., FUSB302), while 26V VWM avoids interference with 20V PD negotiation. | Use Scenario: Protecting isolated gate driver inputs (e.g., Si823x) from Miller-induced transients in 48V BLDC inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS tied between IN+ and GND to suppress coupling spikes during high dV/dt switching. Use Value: 42.1V clamping prevents false triggering of driver enable logic while maintaining <2µA leakage at 26V standby bias. |
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, higher clamping voltage (42.8V @ 100A) | Not suitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a; limited to lower-energy I/O interfaces | Select when cost-sensitive designs require basic ESD/EMP protection without automotive surge compliance |
| SMCJ26A | Same DO-214AB package, identical 5000W rating, but wider VBR tolerance (28.9–33.1V) and higher VC (43.5V @ 119A) | Acceptable for non-AEC-Q101 industrial use; lacks automotive qualification documentation | Choose for industrial power supplies where AEC-Q101 is not mandated and minor clamping variation is acceptable |
Compared with SMBJ26A and SMCJ26A, the 5.0SMDJ26AH provides tighter VBR tolerance (±5.2%), lower clamping voltage (42.1V vs. ≥42.8V), and full AEC-Q101 validation-making it the preferred choice for automotive CAN, LIN, and body-control module surge protection where parameter consistency and qualification traceability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 5.0SMDJ26AH under standard surge conditions?
The 5.0SMDJ26AH has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 42.1 V when subjected to a 10/1000 μs waveform peak impulse current (IPP) of 119 A. This value is measured at TA = 25°C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The 5.0SMDJ26AH maintains this clamping performance across its specified junction temperature range, supporting robust overvoltage protection in automotive and industrial systems.
Is the 5.0SMDJ26AH suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No, the 5.0SMDJ26AH is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not designed for bidirectional protection. Its electrical specifications-including breakdown voltage, clamping behavior, and forward voltage-are defined only for reverse-biased operation. For bidirectional applications such as RS-485 or Ethernet PHY protection, a dedicated bidirectional part like 5.0SMDJ26CA must be used. The 5.0SMDJ26AH's cathode band marking and unidirectional data sheet parameters confirm its single-polarity functionality.
Does the 5.0SMDJ26AH meet AEC-Q101 requirements for automotive use?
Yes, the 5.0SMDJ26AH is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 Rev D standards, covering stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, highly accelerated stress testing, and ESD (HBM ≥ 8 kV, CDM ≥ 1 kV). This qualification is documented in Taiwan Semiconductor's official product release and applies to the full 5.0SMDJxxAH family. The 5.0SMDJ26AH is therefore approved for use in automotive powertrain, chassis, and body electronics where component reliability under harsh environmental conditions is mandatory.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for the 5.0SMDJ26AH?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of the 5.0SMDJ26AH is 61°C/W, measured on a standard 16 mm × 16 mm copper pad PCB per JESD51-3. This value assumes no external heat sinking and reflects worst-case natural convection cooling. For thermal design, engineers should use RθJL = 16°C/W when evaluating solder-joint temperature rise under surge conditions, as lead-to-PCB conduction dominates transient thermal transfer. The 5.0SMDJ26AH's RθJA enables operation up to +175°C junction temperature in properly laid out automotive modules.
How does the 5.0SMDJ26AH compare to the 5.0SMDJ26A in terms of marking and packaging?
The 5.0SMDJ26AH uses "5PFE" as its marking code and is supplied in DO-214AB (SMC) package with tape-and-reel packing (3,000 units per reel). The "H" suffix denotes halogen-free construction per IEC 61249-2-21, distinguishing it from the legacy 5.0SMDJ26A which lacks halogen-free certification and may carry different marking (e.g., "5PF"). Both share identical electrical specs and mechanical outline, but only the 5.0SMDJ26AH guarantees halogen-free materials and full RoHS compliance required for modern automotive and green-electronics programs.
