Product details
Overview
5.0SMDJ28AH 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 to 45.4V at 110A, and features a 31.1–34.4V breakdown voltage range with <1.0ps response time. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used in automotive power supply rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the 5.0SMDJ28AH datasheet, 5.0SMDJ28AH pinout, 5.0SMDJ28AH application, or 5.0SMDJ28AH equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (VC = 45.4V), working standoff voltage (VWM = 28V), peak pulse current (IPP = 110A), thermal resistance (RθJA = 61°C/W), and DO-214AB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The 5.0SMDJ28AH employs a stacked-die construction in a DO-214AB (SMC) package to achieve high surge robustness while maintaining low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.33). Its unidirectional configuration provides reverse-biased surge suppression only, with forward voltage limited to 5V at 100A.
It operates across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature, supported by RθJL = 16°C/W and RθJC = 17°C/W, enabling reliable performance on standard 16mm × 16mm copper PCB pads. The device meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Moisture Sensitivity Level 1.

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 | Lower PPPM (600W vs. 5000W); same DO-214AA package; VWM = 28V, VC = 45.4V | Suitable for lower-energy surges (IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2); not rated for automotive load dump | Select SMBJ28A only when surge threat is limited to ESD or low-energy transients and space constraints favor smaller footprint. |
| SMCJ28A | Same DO-214AB package; identical VWM (28V) and VC (45.4V); PPPM = 1500W (vs. 5000W) | Valid for industrial IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use | Choose SMCJ28A for cost-sensitive industrial designs where 1500W surge rating suffices and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
Compared with SMBJ28A and SMCJ28A, the 5.0SMDJ28AH provides 3.3× and 3.3× higher peak pulse power respectively, enabling compliance with ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5 (load dump) and supporting longer service life under repetitive surge stress in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 5.0SMDJ28AH under maximum rated surge current?
The 5.0SMDJ28AH clamps to 45.4 V when subjected to its maximum peak pulse current of 110 A under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured and guaranteed per the datasheet's electrical specifications table and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on the protected circuit during surge events. The clamping voltage remains stable across temperature and lifetime due to the device's photo glass passivated junction and stacked die construction.
Is the 5.0SMDJ28AH suitable for bidirectional surge protection applications?
No, the 5.0SMDJ28AH is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not suitable for bidirectional protection. Its design supports surge suppression only in the reverse direction (cathode to anode), with a forward voltage drop of 5 V at 100 A. For AC or dual-polarity signal lines, a bidirectional variant such as the 5.0SMDJ28CA-or a back-to-back unidirectional pair-must be used instead of the 5.0SMDJ28AH.
Does the 5.0SMDJ28AH require a heatsink in typical PCB layouts?
No external heatsink is required for the 5.0SMDJ28AH under normal surge conditions, as its RθJA of 61°C/W is specified for mounting on a 16 mm × 16 mm copper pad-a standard layout in automotive and industrial PCBs. Thermal performance is optimized via the DO-214AB package's low RθJL (16°C/W), allowing efficient heat transfer to the PCB plane. Continuous power dissipation remains limited to 6.25 W at TL = 75°C, well below its 5000 W pulsed rating.
What does the marking code "5PFG" indicate on the 5.0SMDJ28AH body?
The marking code "5PFG" laser-etched on the 5.0SMDJ28AH case identifies it as the 28 V variant within the 5.0SMDJxxAH family. Per TSC's ordering documentation, "5PF" denotes the 5.0SMDJ series, and "G" corresponds to the 28 V rating. This marking, combined with the cathode band, enables rapid visual identification and automated optical inspection (AOI) during SMT assembly without reliance on reel labels or documentation.
How does the 5.0SMDJ28AH meet automotive reliability standards?
The 5.0SMDJ28AH is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and mechanical shock per the AEC-Q101-004 standard. Its construction-photo glass passivated junction, matte tin-plated leads, and DO-214AB molding compound rated UL 94V-0-ensures long-term stability in under-hood environments. The device's –55°C to +175°C operating range and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance further validate its suitability for automotive power systems.
