Product details
Overview
P4SMA130CA from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in DC power lines and signal paths. It features a 130V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 187V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 2.2A peak pulse current, and 400W peak pulse power rating under 10/1000μs waveform - deployed in automotive body control modules to protect CAN transceivers from ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b surges.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA130CA datasheet, P4SMA130CA pinout, P4SMA130CA application, or P4SMA130CA equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping symmetry, low leakage (<1μA at 111V), DO-214AC package compatibility with automated SMT assembly, and compliance with ISO 7637-2 for automotive transient immunity validation.
Technical Context
The P4SMA130CA employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast response (<1.0ps) and stable breakdown behavior across -55°C to +150°C operating junction temperature. Its bidirectional configuration ensures symmetrical clamping in both polarities without external polarity management.
Designed per ANSI/IEEE C62.35, it delivers repeatable 400W surge handling under standardized 10/1000μs waveform conditions, with thermal derating above 25°C ambient per Fig.2 and validated moisture sensitivity level 1 (J-STD-020).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 111 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; sets system operating margin below clamping threshold. |
| VBR (min/max) | 117 V / 143 V @ 1.0 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures reliable turn-on during transients while avoiding false triggering. |
| VC @ IPPM | 187 V @ 2.2 A (10/1000μs) - Clamping voltage defines worst-case voltage seen by protected ICs during surge events. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak pulse power rating determines survivability against standardized automotive and industrial surge waveforms. |
| IR @ VWM | <1 μA - Ultra-low leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance monitoring circuits and battery-powered systems. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| Package | DO-214AC (SMA) - Standardized surface-mount outline compatible with J-STD-002 soldering and automated placement equipment. |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) package: molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, polarity indicated by cathode band (bidirectional function renders band non-polar; serves as mechanical orientation marker only).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (marked band) | Bidirectional transient conduction path | Both terminals function identically; band denotes physical orientation for automated placement, not electrical polarity. |
| Case | Non-conductive molding compound | UL 94V-0 rated encapsulant provides flame resistance and mechanical protection without thermal or electrical coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures long-term stability of breakdown voltage and leakage performance under thermal cycling and humidity stress. |
| ISO 7637-2 compliance (Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b) | Validated immunity to real-world automotive load-dump and inductive-switching transients without external circuitry. |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | Eliminates bake requirements prior to reflow, reducing manufacturing cost and preventing moisture-induced popcorning. |
| RoHS & halogen-free (IEC 61249-2-21) | Meets global environmental regulations without compromising surge performance or thermal reliability. |
| Fast response time <1.0 ps | Clamps before sensitive downstream components experience damaging overvoltage - critical for protecting high-speed interfaces. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial PLC I/O Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12V supply rails feeding microcontrollers and CAN transceivers in door modules and lighting controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS clamping device placed directly at connector entry point to shunt ISO 7637-2 Pulse 2b energy. Use Value: Limits rail voltage to ≤187V during 100V/50Ω load dump, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in protected ICs. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 24V digital input channels on programmable logic controller backplanes exposed to field wiring transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on each channel's input node, coordinated with series current-limiting resistor. Use Value: Absorbs up to 400W surge energy without degradation, maintaining channel integrity after repeated 1kV/500Ω ring-wave events. |
| LED Driver Power Input | DC/DC Converter Feedback Path |
Use Scenario: Input-stage protection for constant-current LED drivers in streetlight and signage applications subject to lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line transient suppressor between bulk capacitor and switching controller IC. Use Value: Clamps 10/1000μs surges to 187V while drawing <1μA at nominal 111V bus, minimizing standby power loss. |
Use Scenario: Voltage reference and feedback network protection in isolated flyback converters where precision regulation is critical. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS placed across optocoupler input or error amplifier inputs. Use Value: Prevents false regulation trips during EFT bursts by clamping transients without distorting DC feedback voltage. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130CA (Bourns) | Same DO-214AA package; 400W rating; VWM = 111V, VC = 196V @ 2.0A - 9V higher clamping than P4SMA130CA. | Higher clamping voltage may require margin adjustment in low-voltage-tolerant ICs (e.g., 3.3V logic interfaces). | Select when DO-214AA footprint is fixed and 196V clamping is acceptable for protected circuit VMAX. |
| 1.5KE130CA (ON Semiconductor) | Through-hole DO-15 package; 1500W rating; VWM = 111V, VC = 219V @ 6.9A - significantly larger package and higher clamping. | Not suitable for space-constrained SMT designs; intended for primary-side AC/DC input protection rather than board-level signal rails. | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs requiring higher single-pulse energy handling, not as drop-in replacement. |
Compared with SMBJ130CA and 1.5KE130CA, the P4SMA130CA offers the lowest clamping voltage (187V) in a compact DO-214AC package, making it optimal for protecting modern low-voltage automotive and industrial ICs where voltage margin is critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the P4SMA130CA under standard surge conditions?
The P4SMA130CA has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 187 V when subjected to a 10/1000 μs waveform at its rated peak pulse current of 2.2 A. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during transient events - a critical parameter for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Is the P4SMA130CA unidirectional or bidirectional?
The P4SMA130CA is a bidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "CA" suffix per Taiwan Semiconductor's naming convention. It provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities, eliminating the need for polarity-aware layout and enabling protection of AC-coupled or floating signal lines without additional design constraints.
Does the P4SMA130CA meet automotive transient standards?
Yes, the P4SMA130CA meets ISO 7637-2 requirements for Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b, making it suitable for direct integration into automotive electronic control units. Its 400W peak pulse power rating and 187V clamping voltage are validated against these standardized load-dump and inductive-switching waveforms.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the P4SMA130CA?
The P4SMA130CA has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C and operates across -55°C to +150°C. This wide range supports deployment in under-hood automotive environments and thermally demanding industrial enclosures, with thermal derating applied above 25°C ambient per the manufacturer's published curve (Fig.2).
How does the P4SMA130CA compare to the P4SMA130A in terms of electrical performance?
The P4SMA130CA is the bidirectional version, while P4SMA130A is unidirectional. Their breakdown voltages (117–143 V), VWM (111 V), and clamping (187 V) are identical in the forward direction, but the CA variant clamps symmetrically in reverse - essential for protecting AC signals or differential buses like CAN where polarity reversal occurs.
