Product details
Overview
P6SMAJ24ADF-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 600W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for unidirectional overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 24V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 26.7–30.7V breakdown range at 1mA, 38.9V clamping voltage at 15.4A peak pulse current, and D-FLAT package for space-constrained PCB layouts-used in industrial power supplies and automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMAJ24ADF-13 datasheet, P6SMAJ24ADF-13 pinout, P6SMAJ24ADF-13 application, or P6SMAJ24ADF-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin vs. protected IC VCC tolerance, thermal resistance under board layout constraints, IEC 61000-4-5 surge compliance, and RoHS/Green compliance for export-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a shunt-clamping device triggered by reverse-biased avalanche breakdown above VRWM. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1µA at 24V) and repeatable clamping performance across temperature (–55°C to +150°C).
The device responds to 10/1000µs transients with sub-nanosecond turn-on and sustains 600W non-repetitive peak pulse power. Thermal design relies on low RθJA (92°C/W on 0.4"×0.5" pad), enabling robust surge handling without external heatsinking in compact power interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600W - Withstands IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4kV/2Ω) surges without failure when properly mounted. |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 24V - Maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage before significant leakage; sets upper limit for protected rail. |
| Clamping Voltage | 38.9V @ 15.4A - Limits transient voltage seen by downstream ICs; must be below absolute max rating of protected device. |
| Breakdown Voltage | 26.7–30.7V @ 1mA - Tight VBR window ensures predictable turn-on and avoids false triggering near operating voltage. |
| Leakage Current | ≤1.0µA @ 24V - Minimizes standby power loss and avoids interference in high-impedance sensing circuits. |
| Package | D-FLAT - 4.65mm × 2.80mm footprint with 0.9–1.1mm height; optimized for automated SMT assembly and thermal conduction via exposed cathode pad. |
Pinout & Package
Package: D-FLAT surface-mount package with cathode band marking; molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), matte tin-plated copper leadframe, polarity indicated by black band on cathode end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Transient current sink node | Connected to protected line; carries full surge current during clamping; requires low-inductance trace to ground plane. |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference/ground return | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return path; forms current loop with cathode during transient event. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600W peak pulse rating | Enables single-device protection against severe lightning-induced surges per IEC 61000-4-5, reducing need for cascaded protection stages. |
| Glass-passivated die | Ensures long-term reliability and stable electrical parameters under thermal cycling and humidity exposure in industrial environments. |
| Low-profile D-FLAT package | Reduces board area by >30% vs. SMA; improves airflow and allows placement near connectors or edge-mounted I/O ports. |
| RoHS & Halogen-free | Complies with EU RoHS 2 and JEDEC J-STD-709B; eliminates brominated flame retardants and antimony compounds (<1000ppm). |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Protection | Automotive Body Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A-Q | Same 24V VRWM, but SMA package (larger footprint, higher RθJA = 115°C/W); 600W rating confirmed. | Less suitable for ultra-thin or high-density boards; better thermal margin on large pads. | Select when board real estate allows larger package and thermal management prioritizes pad size over profile. |
| 1.5SMC24A | Higher 1500W rating, DO-214AB package; clamping voltage 38.9V same, but 1.5x larger footprint and 2.5g weight. | Used where higher surge immunity is required (e.g., outdoor telecom cabinets), not space-constrained designs. | Choose only if 600W is insufficient and mechanical mounting permits larger case. |
Compared with SMAJ24A-Q and 1.5SMC24A, P6SMAJ24ADF-13 delivers identical electrical protection in a 30% smaller footprint and 70% lower mass, making it optimal for modern compact, thermally constrained, and weight-sensitive applications like automotive ECUs and portable medical devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable PCB pad size for optimal thermal performance of P6SMAJ24ADF-13?
For best thermal performance, use the recommended 0.4" × 0.5" (10.2mm × 12.7mm) copper pad per the datasheet's Note 8, achieving RθJA = 92°C/W. Smaller pads increase junction temperature rise during surge events and may reduce lifetime under repeated stress. Pad dimensions must maintain ≥0.2mm soldermask-defined clearance to adjacent traces.
Can P6SMAJ24ADF-13 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No-P6SMAJ24ADF-13 is a unidirectional TVS diode with anode and cathode terminals explicitly defined. Its schematic symbol and internal structure support only reverse-bias clamping. For bidirectional protection, use a dedicated bidirectional part such as P6SMBJ24CA or pair two unidirectional devices in series opposition.
How does the 1.0mA test current affect breakdown voltage specification?
The 1.0mA IT defines the standardized condition for measuring VBR (26.7–30.7V). At this low current, the device exhibits sharp, repeatable avalanche onset-critical for ensuring consistent clamping behavior across production lots and temperature ranges. Higher test currents would shift VBR upward and mask early-turn-on characteristics needed for precision protection.
Is P6SMAJ24ADF-13 qualified for automotive AEC-Q200 stress testing?
No-P6SMAJ24ADF-13 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. It is rated for industrial temperature range (–55°C to +150°C) and meets JEDEC moisture sensitivity level 1, but lacks the extended reliability testing (e.g., temperature cycling, board flex, accelerated life) required for automotive qualification. For AEC-Q200 applications, consider Diodes' AEC-Q200–qualified SMAJ24A-Q or SMCJ24A-Q series.
