Product details
Overview
P6SMAJ28ADF-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 600W 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 of 31.1–35.8 V at 1.0 mA test current, clamping voltage of 45.4 V at 13.2 A peak pulse current, and D-FLAT package for space-constrained PCB layouts-used in industrial power supply input stages.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMAJ28ADF-13 datasheet, P6SMAJ28ADF-13 pinout, P6SMAJ28ADF-13 application, or P6SMAJ28ADF-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC VMAX, peak pulse current capability under IEC 61000-4-5 surge conditions, thermal resistance on defined PCB copper area, and RoHS/Green compliance for end-product certification.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with cathode-anode polarity, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold. Its glass-passivated die ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1 µA at 28 V), while fast response time (<1 ns) enables suppression of ESD (IEC 61000-4-2) and lightning-induced surges (IEC 61000-4-5).
The device uses a 10/1000 µs double-exponential pulse waveform per REA standard for rating clamping performance. Thermal design relies on junction-to-terminal resistance of 64 °C/W (1"×1" pad) or 57 °C/W (0.4"×0.5" pad), requiring appropriate copper pour to sustain 1.5 W steady-state dissipation at TL = +75°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600 W - Sustains single 10/1000 µs surges up to this level without failure |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 28 V - Maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage before significant leakage |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 31.1–35.8 V @ 1.0 mA - Confirmed avalanche initiation window for reliable triggering |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 45.4 V @ 13.2 A - Maximum voltage seen by downstream circuit during rated surge |
| Peak Pulse Current (IPP) | 13.2 A - Peak current supported under 10/1000 µs waveform at VC |
| Junction-to-Ambient RθJA | 115 °C/W - Thermal limit on standard FR-4 board; dictates minimum copper area needed |
| Package | D-FLAT - 2-pin, low-profile surface-mount outline (4.65 mm × 2.80 mm × 1.10 mm) |
Pinout & Package
Package: D-FLAT, surface-mount, molded plastic case with cathode band marking. Dimensions: 4.65 mm × 2.80 mm × 1.10 mm (L × W × H), weight ≈ 0.035 g. Terminals are matte tin annealed over copper leadframe, solderable per MIL-STD-202.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2 (Anode) | Line Input / Signal Source | Connected to line being protected (e.g., 24 V rail); reverse-biased during normal operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W Peak Pulse Rating | Enables robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV/2 Ω) surges on 24 V systems |

| Low Clamping Ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.39) | Reduces stress on downstream components by limiting overvoltage excursion during surge events |
| D-FLAT Low-Profile Package | Reduces board footprint by >40% vs. SMA; supports automated placement and high-density routing |
| Halogen- & Antimony-Free "Green" Construction | Meets IPC-1752A material declaration requirements and EU ELV directive limits |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Protection | Automotive Body Control Module Inputs |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 24 V DC sensor inputs in programmable logic controllers exposed to inductive switching transients and field wiring surges. IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between input terminal and ground to clamp transients before they reach signal conditioning op-amps or microcontroller GPIOs. Use Value: Limits voltage to ≤45.4 V during 13.2 A surges, protecting 3.3 V/5 V interface ICs with 50 V absolute maximum ratings. | Use Scenario: LIN bus or switched 12 V power inputs in body control modules subject to load dump and jump-start conditions. IC Role / Device Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on battery-fed lines, coordinated with upstream fuses and secondary TVS arrays. Use Value: Withstands 60 A non-repetitive forward surge (IFSM), surviving short-duration 24 V jump-start transients without degradation. |
| Telecom Power Feeds | Medical Equipment DC Power Rails |
Use Scenario: -48 V DC telecom power distribution boards where hot-swap events and cable discharge generate high-energy transients. IC Role / Device Role: Secondary surge protection stage after bulk MOVs, providing precise clamping near equipment input connectors. Use Value: 28 V VRWM aligns with -48 V system derating margins; 600 W rating handles residual energy passing through front-end filters. | Use Scenario: Isolated 24 V auxiliary rails powering analog front-ends in diagnostic imaging subsystems. IC Role / Device Role: Final-stage transient suppressor on safety-isolated power outputs, ensuring immunity to ESD coupling via shared chassis grounds. Use Value: <1 µA leakage at 28 V prevents signal offset errors in precision amplifiers; RoHS/Green compliance meets IEC 60601-1 material restrictions. |
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-Q | Same 28 V VRWM, but 400 W PPK; higher leakage (5 µA max @ VRWM) | Lower surge handling; suitable only for ESD-only zones, not AC-line or automotive load dump | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for IEC 61000-4-5 compliance |
| 1.5SMC28A | Same 28 V VRWM, 1500 W PPK, DO-214AB package (larger footprint) | Higher surge capacity but 5.3 mm × 6.2 mm footprint increases board area by 2.3× | Select when surge margin is critical and PCB space allows larger SMC outline |
Compared with SMAJ28A-Q and 1.5SMC28A, P6SMAJ28ADF-13 delivers optimal balance of 600 W surge rating, D-FLAT space efficiency, and sub-µA leakage-making it preferred for compact industrial and automotive control modules where both footprint and reliability are constrained.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of P6SMAJ28ADF-13?
P6SMAJ28ADF-13 is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode-anode polarity. Pin 1 (marked with cathode band) connects to ground or return path; Pin 2 connects to the line being protected. It conducts only during reverse overvoltage events, blocking normal forward bias.
Can P6SMAJ28ADF-13 be used for bidirectional surge protection?
No. This device is unidirectional and lacks symmetrical clamping behavior. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or data lines with ± transients), use a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as P6SMBJ28CA or SMBJ28CA-both rated for ±28 V standoff and same 600 W pulse power.
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper pad size for thermal performance?
For rated 1.5 W steady-state dissipation at TL = +75°C, Diodes Incorporated specifies two validated layouts: 1" × 1" (2 oz Cu) yields RθJA = 115 °C/W; 0.4" × 0.5" (2 oz Cu) yields RθJA = 92 °C/W. Smaller pads increase junction temperature and reduce surge endurance.
Does P6SMAJ28ADF-13 meet AEC-Q200 stress testing requirements?
No. While P6SMAJ28ADF-13 is qualified to industrial temperature range (–55°C to +150°C) and RoHS/Green standards, it is not AEC-Q200 qualified. For automotive-grade TVS diodes, consider Diodes' AEC-Q200-compliant AP6SMAJ28A or SMAJ28A-Q variants with full qualification documentation.
