Product details
Overview
5.0SMDJ75A 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 121V at 41.4A, and features a 75V working standoff voltage with <1.0ps response time. Used in AC/DC power supplies and industrial control I/O protection.
For engineers reviewing the 5.0SMDJ75A datasheet, 5.0SMDJ75A pinout, 5.0SMDJ75A application, or 5.0SMDJ75A equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (VC = 121V), breakdown voltage range (83.3–92.1V), thermal resistance (RθJL = 16°C/W), unidirectional polarity, and DO-214AB (SMC) package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The 5.0SMDJ75A employs a stacked-die construction to achieve high peak pulse power handling while maintaining low clamping ratio. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction capability (VF = 5V @ 100A) and reverse-biased transient suppression, enabling use in polarized DC rail protection without external series blocking components.
Designed for robust thermal performance on standard PCBs, it achieves RθJL = 16°C/W when mounted on a 16mm × 16mm copper pad - critical for sustaining repeated surge events in industrial power supplies. The device operates across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature range and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75A | Lower peak power (600W), same DO-214AA package, VBR = 83.3–92.1V, VC = 121V | Not suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4; limited to lower-energy surge environments | Select 5.0SMDJ75A where 5000W pulse handling is required; SMBJ75A only for cost-sensitive, low-surge applications. |
| SMCJ75A | Same 5000W rating and DO-214AB package, but VBR = 83.3–92.1V and VC = 121V match exactly; identical thermal specs | No functional difference; direct footprint-compatible alternative with same electrical performance | SMCJ75A is a second-source option with identical clamping behavior and thermal profile; verify manufacturer-specific qualification for automotive use cases. |
Compared with SMBJ75A and SMCJ75A, the 5.0SMDJ75A offers identical clamping performance to SMCJ75A but superior surge capacity versus SMBJ75A - making it the preferred choice for industrial power systems requiring full IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance without layout change.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 5.0SMDJ75A under maximum rated surge current?
The 5.0SMDJ75A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V when subjected to its peak pulse current (IPP) of 41.4 A, measured at the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The 5.0SMDJ75A maintains this clamping performance due to its stacked-die construction and low dynamic impedance.
Is the 5.0SMDJ75A unidirectional or bidirectional, and how is polarity identified?
The 5.0SMDJ75A is a unidirectional TVS diode, meaning it clamps only in reverse bias and conducts forward current like a standard diode. Polarity is indicated by a cathode band on the DO-214AB (SMC) package body - the banded end connects to the higher-potential rail in typical applications. This configuration enables use in polarized DC systems without additional blocking components.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the 5.0SMDJ75A?
The 5.0SMDJ75A is rated for a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +175°C, supporting operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed power supplies and motor drive cabinets. This rating is validated under steady-state power dissipation conditions and accounts for thermal derating above 25°C ambient, as shown in the manufacturer's derating curve (Fig.2). The 5.0SMDJ75A retains full surge capability up to this limit.
Does the 5.0SMDJ75A meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the 5.0SMDJ75A is RoHS compliant and halogen-free in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound is UL 94V-0 rated, and the matte tin-plated leads satisfy J-STD-002 solderability requirements. These material specifications are confirmed in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet Version D2102 and apply to all units shipped under standard ordering code 5.0SMDJ75A.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to lead (RθJL) for the 5.0SMDJ75A?
The junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of the 5.0SMDJ75A is 16°C/W when mounted on a 16 mm × 16 mm copper pad test board, per JEDEC standards. This low thermal resistance enables efficient heat transfer from the silicon die to the PCB, supporting sustained surge duty cycles and improving reliability in thermally demanding applications. The 5.0SMDJ75A leverages this spec to maintain performance under repetitive 5000W pulses.
