Product details
Overview
5.0SMDJ75AH 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, 75V working standoff voltage, and 121V maximum clamping voltage at 41.4A peak current. It features AEC-Q101 qualification, <1.0ps response time, and is used for I/O interface and AC/DC power supply surge protection.
For engineers reviewing the 5.0SMDJ75AH datasheet, 5.0SMDJ75AH pinout, 5.0SMDJ75AH application, or 5.0SMDJ75AH equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (VC = 121V @ IPP = 41.4A), breakdown voltage range (83.3–92.1V), thermal resistance (RθJA = 61°C/W), unidirectional polarity, and automotive-grade reliability per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
The 5.0SMDJ75AH employs a stacked-die construction to achieve high peak pulse power handling while maintaining low clamping ratio. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior and long-term reliability under repetitive surge stress.
Designed for unidirectional operation, it blocks up to 75V DC in reverse bias and conducts only during overvoltage transients, with fast turn-on (<1.0ps) enabling effective suppression of ESD and lightning-induced surges in automotive and industrial power rails.

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 rating (600W vs. 5000W); same DO-214AA package but smaller thermal mass | Not suitable for load dump or high-energy IEC 61000-4-5 testing; limited to low-energy ESD zones | Select 5.0SMDJ75AH when >1000W surge handling is required; SMBJ75A only for cost-sensitive, low-risk interfaces |
| SMCJ75A | Same DO-214AB (SMC) package and 5000W rating, but VBR min = 83.3V (identical), VC = 121V (identical), and AEC-Q101 not explicitly stated in standard datasheet | May lack full automotive qualification documentation; requires validation for automotive OEM programs | 5.0SMDJ75AH is preferred for AEC-Q101–mandated designs; SMCJ75A acceptable where qualification evidence is independently verified |
Compared with SMBJ75A and SMCJ75A, the 5.0SMDJ75AH delivers identical clamping performance and package compatibility but provides documented AEC-Q101 qualification and tighter process control for automotive production, making it the default choice for Tier 1 supply chains requiring audit-ready compliance.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for 5.0SMDJ75AH?
The 5.0SMDJ75AH has a minimum breakdown voltage (VBR) of 83.3 V and a maximum of 92.1 V at 1 mA test current, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This range ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and allows design margin for temperature drift (αVBR = 0.108 mV/°C). The 5.0SMDJ75AH maintains this specification under standard test conditions (TA = 25°C).
Is 5.0SMDJ75AH suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 5.0SMDJ75AH is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and surge robustness required for automotive electronic components. Its 175°C maximum junction temperature and DO-214AB package with matte tin-plated leads meet automotive assembly and reliability standards. The 5.0SMDJ75AH is routinely deployed in engine control units and body electronics.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of 5.0SMDJ75AH and at what current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of the 5.0SMDJ75AH is 121 V, measured at a peak impulse current (IPP) of 41.4 A under the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events and is critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings. The 5.0SMDJ75AH achieves this clamping performance while sustaining 5000W peak power.
Does 5.0SMDJ75AH have polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes, the 5.0SMDJ75AH uses a cathode band to indicate polarity, consistent with standard diode marking conventions. The band is located on the cathode end of the DO-214AB (SMC) package body and must be oriented toward the positive side of the protected line in unidirectional configurations. This marking is visible under standard optical inspection and aligns with JESD 201 whisker testing and J-STD-002 solderability requirements. The 5.0SMDJ75AH's polarity marking ensures correct PCB placement during automated assembly.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for 5.0SMDJ75AH?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of the 5.0SMDJ75AH is 61 °C/W when mounted on a 16 mm × 16 mm copper pad test board, per JEDEC standards. This value guides thermal design for sustained power dissipation and derating above 25°C ambient. For higher-power intermittent operation, the lower RθJC (17 °C/W) and RθJL (16 °C/W) values support heat transfer to external heatsinks or lead frames. The 5.0SMDJ75AH's thermal performance enables reliable operation in enclosed automotive enclosures.
