Product details
Overview
P6SMAJ10ADFQ-13 from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101 qualified, 600W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in a D-FLAT package, designed for automotive power line protection. It features a 10V reverse standoff voltage, 11.1–12.8V breakdown range at 1mA, 17.0V max clamping voltage at 35.3A peak pulse current, and is optimized for fast response to ESD and surge events in 12V vehicle systems.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMAJ10ADFQ-13 datasheet, P6SMAJ10ADFQ-13 pinout, P6SMAJ10ADFQ-13 application, or P6SMAJ10ADFQ-13 equivalent, this TVS diode is selected for robust overvoltage protection in automotive ECUs, infotainment power rails, and CAN bus interface circuits where low capacitance (<100pF), high surge capability, and IATF16949 manufacturing compliance are required.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a clamping device in reverse-biased configuration, triggering when transient voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold (11.1–12.8V). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance (<5µA at 10V) and repeatable clamping behavior across temperature (-55°C to +150°C).
The device delivers 600W peak pulse power under 10/1000µs waveform conditions, with thermal resistance of 57°C/W (junction-to-terminal) on a 0.4" × 0.5" FR-4 pad - enabling effective heat dissipation in space-constrained automotive PCB layouts without heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600W - sustains single 10/1000µs transients up to 35.3A without failure |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 10V - maximum continuous DC operating voltage before clamping initiates |
| Breakdown Voltage | 11.1–12.8V @ 1mA - precise conduction onset ensures reliable margin above 12V nominal rail |
| Max Clamping Voltage | 17.0V @ 35.3A - limits downstream IC stress during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a events |
| Leakage Current | <5µA @ 10V - negligible standby power loss and no interference with low-power sensor signals |
| Capacitance | <100pF @ 0V - preserves signal integrity on high-speed lines like LIN or CAN FD |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD |
Pinout & Package
Package: D-FLAT (2-pin, low-profile surface-mount), dimensions 4.65mm × 2.80mm × 1.10mm (L × W × H), cathode-banded polarity, matte tin-plated copper leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Anode-side connection point for reverse-biased clamping | Connected to protected line (e.g., battery rail); conducts during overvoltage to shunt energy to ground |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference/ground return path | Must be tied directly to low-impedance chassis or system ground to ensure effective clamping and minimize VCL overshoot |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated die construction | Ensures long-term stability of breakdown voltage and leakage under thermal cycling and humidity exposure |
| D-FLAT low-profile package | Reduces board footprint by >40% vs. SMA, enabling placement near connectors or IC power pins |
| 64°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance | Allows operation at full 600W pulse rating on standard 1"×1" FR-4 without thermal derating |
| AEC-Q101 qualification & PPAP capability | Meets automotive change control requirements for Tier-1 BOM inclusion and production traceability |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" design | Complies with EU ELV Directive and supports OEM sustainability mandates without performance trade-offs |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Input | Automotive Infotainment Power Rail |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects 12V supply input of engine control modules against load dump (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamping TVS placed between battery feed and LDO input, triggered within <1ns.

Use Value: Prevents latch-up in USB PD controllers without distorting high-speed data eye diagrams due to minimal parasitic capacitance. |
| CAN Bus Transceiver Protection | Body Control Module (BCM) Sensor Interface |
Use Scenario: Safeguards CANH/CANL lines in gateway modules against coupled transients from nearby solenoid switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Paired unidirectional TVS devices (one per line), grounded via shortest possible trace to minimize inductance. Use Value: Clamps induced spikes to <20V, preserving CAN differential signaling integrity and meeting ISO 11898-2 EMC immunity requirements. | Use Scenario: Protects analog inputs of BCM ADCs monitoring door lock motors, window lifters, and ambient sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Point-of-entry TVS on 5V/3.3V sensor supply lines, placed before filtering ferrites. Use Value: Absorbs 600W pulses without degradation, ensuring sensor accuracy remains unaffected after repeated surge events. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6SMAJ10ADFQ-13 under standardized surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage is 17.0V measured at 35.3A peak pulse current using the 10/1000µs waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (-55°C to +150°C) and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by downstream circuitry during worst-case transients.
Is P6SMAJ10ADFQ-13 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes - it features a matte tin annealed finish over copper leadframe, qualified for Pb-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature tolerance up to 260°C. Moisture sensitivity level is rated at Level 1, eliminating bake requirements prior to assembly.
How does the D-FLAT package improve thermal performance compared to SMA packages?
The D-FLAT package provides 57°C/W junction-to-terminal thermal resistance on a 0.4" × 0.5" pad - 25% lower than comparable SMA devices - due to its flat, exposed copper terminal structure that maximizes heat transfer into the PCB copper plane without requiring thermal vias.
Can P6SMAJ10ADFQ-13 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - it is a unidirectional TVS diode intended for DC power line protection only. For AC or bidirectional signal line protection (e.g., RS-485), Diodes Incorporated recommends the complementary P6SMBJ10CA-13 or SMAJ10CA-13 series, which feature symmetrical breakdown in both polarities.
