Product details
Overview
P4SMAJ28ADF-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 400W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for unidirectional overvoltage protection in DC power lines and signal interfaces. It features a reverse standoff voltage of 28 V, breakdown voltage range 31.1–34.4 V at 1.0 mA, clamping voltage of 45.4 V at 8.8 A peak pulse current, and IEC 61000-4-2 ESD rating of ±30 kV (air/contact). It is used in industrial power supplies to protect downstream regulators from load dump and surge events.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMAJ28ADF-13 datasheet, P4SMAJ28ADF-13 pinout, P4SMAJ28ADF-13 application, or P4SMAJ28ADF-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC VMAX, peak pulse current capability under 10/1000 µs waveform, thermal resistance (RθJA = 88 °C/W on small pad), and D-FLAT package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates in avalanche breakdown mode during transient events, diverting surge current away from sensitive circuitry while maintaining low clamping voltage. Its glass-passivated die construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and long-term reliability under repetitive surges.
The device complies with IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD immunity (±30 kV air/±30 kV contact) and is rated for 400 W non-repetitive peak pulse power per 10 × 1000 µs waveform. Thermal performance is specified for two PCB mounting conditions: RθJT = 39 °C/W and RθJA = 88 °C/W on a 0.4" × 0.5" FR-4 board with 0.2" × 0.25" copper pad.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ28A-13-F | Same 28 V VRWM, but 400 W rating uses larger SMA package (RθJA ≈ 110 °C/W); no IEC 61000-4-2 data published | Less suitable for ultra-thin or thermally constrained boards due to higher thermal resistance | Select when legacy SMA footprint compatibility is required and board space allows |
| 1.5SMC28A | Higher 1500 W rating, DO-214AB package, VC = 46.6 V @ 32.2 A; RθJA ≈ 50 °C/W on large pad | Over-specified for 400 W needs; requires larger PCB area and different layout | Select only if system-level testing demands >1 kW surge handling or lower thermal impedance |
Compared with SMAJ28A-13-F and 1.5SMC28A, P4SMAJ28ADF-13 delivers identical electrical protection in a smaller D-FLAT package with verified ±30 kV ESD performance-critical for compact, high-reliability industrial and automotive modules where board space and ESD compliance are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P4SMAJ28ADF-13 under standard test conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) is 45.4 V at 8.8 A peak pulse current, measured per the 10 × 1000 µs waveform defined in IEC 61000-4-5. This value is guaranteed across temperature and lifetime, and represents the highest voltage imposed on protected circuitry during a worst-case surge event.
Does P4SMAJ28ADF-13 support bidirectional transient suppression?
No. P4SMAJ28ADF-13 is a unidirectional TVS diode, configured for protection against positive-going transients on grounded systems. It does not suppress negative transients beyond its forward voltage (~3.5 V at 35 A), and is not rated for AC line or bipolar signal protection without external circuitry.
How does the D-FLAT package affect thermal performance compared to SMA?
The D-FLAT package achieves RθJA = 88 °C/W on a 0.4" × 0.5" FR-4 board-significantly better than typical SMA packages (~110 °C/W)-due to optimized thermal pad geometry and direct die-to-pad conduction. This enables higher sustained surge duty cycles in thermally dense layouts.
Is P4SMAJ28ADF-13 qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q200?
While P4SMAJ28ADF-13 meets critical AEC-Q200 stress parameters-including operating temperature (−55 °C to +150 °C), solderability, and moisture sensitivity level 1-it is not formally AEC-Q200 qualified. For automotive safety-critical use, Diodes recommends the AEC-Q200-qualified P4SMAJ28AQ-13 variant with additional qualification testing.
