Product details
Overview
5.0SMDJ36A 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 features a 36 V working standoff voltage, 40.0–44.2 V breakdown voltage at 1 mA, 58.1 V maximum clamping voltage at 86.1 A peak pulse current, and 5000 W peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 µs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the 5.0SMDJ36A datasheet, 5.0SMDJ36A pinout, 5.0SMDJ36A application, or 5.0SMDJ36A equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 86.1 A surge, thermal resistance (RθJL = 16 °C/W), DO-214AB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly, and unidirectional polarity indicated by cathode band.
Technical Context
The 5.0SMDJ36A employs a stacked-die construction in a DO-214AB (SMC) package to achieve 5000 W peak pulse power handling while maintaining fast response (<1.0 ps) and low leakage (<2 µA at 36 V). Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction capability with 5 V VF at 100 A, enabling bidirectional surge suppression when paired with complementary devices.
Thermal design is supported by validated junction-to-lead resistance of 16 °C/W on a 16 mm × 16 mm copper pad, enabling reliable operation up to 175 °C junction temperature. The device meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 requirements for robust manufacturing yield.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 5.0SMDJ36A under surge conditions?
The 5.0SMDJ36A exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 58.1 V when subjected to an 86.1 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and ensures protected downstream components remain within safe operating voltage limits during high-energy transients such as lightning-induced surges or load dump events.
Is the 5.0SMDJ36A unidirectional or bidirectional?
5.0SMDJ36A is a unidirectional TVS diode, configured to clamp only reverse-polarity transients. Its cathode band marks the terminal that connects to the higher-potential side of the protected line. Forward conduction occurs at ~5 V (VF) under 100 A, allowing use in circuits where controlled forward conduction is acceptable or intended.
What package does the 5.0SMDJ36A use, and is it compatible with standard SMT assembly?
The 5.0SMDJ36A uses the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads. It is fully compatible with standard reflow soldering processes and automated pick-and-place equipment, meeting J-STD-002 solderability and J-STD-020 Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 requirements for zero bake preconditioning.
How does the 5.0SMDJ36A compare to the SMBJ36A in terms of surge handling capability?
The 5.0SMDJ36A supports 5000 W peak pulse power, whereas the SMBJ36A is rated for only 600 W. This makes the 5.0SMDJ36A suitable for high-energy threats like ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a or IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4, while SMBJ36A is limited to lower-level transients. Their clamping voltages differ accordingly: 58.1 V vs. 60.5 V at respective peak currents.
What is the junction temperature range for continuous operation of the 5.0SMDJ36A?
The 5.0SMDJ36A is rated for continuous operation across a junction temperature range of –55 °C to +175 °C. This wide range supports deployment in under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and outdoor telecom equipment where ambient temperatures exceed 100 °C and thermal cycling is frequent.
