Product details
Overview
5.0SMDJ85AH 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 137V at 36.5A, and features a working standoff voltage of 85V with <2µA leakage. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used in automotive body control modules requiring robust ESD and lightning surge immunity.
For engineers reviewing the 5.0SMDJ85AH datasheet, 5.0SMDJ85AH pinout, 5.0SMDJ85AH application, or 5.0SMDJ85AH equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (VC = 137V), breakdown voltage range (94.4–104V), thermal resistance (RθJA = 61°C/W), unidirectional polarity, and DO-214AB (SMC) package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The 5.0SMDJ85AH employs a stacked-die construction in a single DO-214AB package to achieve high peak pulse power handling while maintaining low clamping ratio. Its photo-glass passivated junction ensures stable VBR over temperature and long-term reliability under repetitive surge stress.
With a fast response time <1.0ps and junction temperature range of –55°C to +175°C, the device supports operation in harsh environments. Its 0.096 mV/°C VBR temperature coefficient and 16°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enable predictable performance in thermally constrained PCB layouts.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ85A | Lower peak power (600 W), same DO-214AA package, VBR 94.4–104 V, VC = 137 V | Not suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4; limited to lower-energy surges | Select 5.0SMDJ85AH when 5000 W pulse rating is required; SMBJ85A fits space-constrained designs needing only 600 W |
| SMCJ85A | Same DO-214AB package and 5000 W rating, but VBR 94.4–104 V and VC = 137 V match exactly; RoHS/halogen-free status varies by batch | Identical clamping behavior and thermal profile; differs only in manufacturer-specific process controls | 5.0SMDJ85AH offers guaranteed AEC-Q101 qualification and tighter αVBR (0.110 vs. typical 0.115 mV/°C) |
Compared with SMBJ85A and SMCJ85A, the 5.0SMDJ85AH provides automotive-grade reliability assurance and superior thermal stability-critical for under-hood electronics where junction temperature can exceed 150°C during sustained operation.

Yes, the 5.0SMDJ85AH is AEC-Q101 qualified and designed for automotive use, including body control modules, infotainment power supplies, and sensor interfaces. Its –55°C to +175°C junction temperature range, stacked-die construction, and photo-glass passivation ensure robustness against thermal cycling and humidity. The 5.0SMDJ85AH meets stringent automotive reliability requirements without derating in most under-hood environments.
What package does the 5.0SMDJ85AH use, and is it compatible with standard SMT processes?
The 5.0SMDJ85AH uses the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability standards. It is fully compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering processes. The 5.0SMDJ85AH's moisture sensitivity level is 1 (per J-STD-020), eliminating bake requirements prior to assembly.
How does the 5.0SMDJ85AH compare to the 5.0SMDJ85A variant?
The 5.0SMDJ85AH is the AEC-Q101 qualified version of the 5.0SMDJ85A, with identical electrical specifications (VWM = 85 V, VC = 137 V, PPPM = 5000 W) but enhanced reliability testing and tighter parameter controls. The "H" suffix denotes automotive qualification. The 5.0SMDJ85AH undergoes additional stress tests including HTGB, H3TRB, and temperature cycling-making it the only version approved for safety-critical automotive subsystems.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the 5.0SMDJ85AH?
The 5.0SMDJ85AH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) rating of +175°C, enabling operation in high-temperature environments such as engine compartments or enclosed industrial enclosures. Its RθJA of 61°C/W and RθJC of 17°C/W allow effective thermal management when mounted on standard 16 mm × 16 mm copper pads. This TJ MAX rating is maintained across the full specified storage temperature range of –55°C to +175°C.
