Product details
Overview
P6SMAJ40ADF-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 40.0 V, clamping voltage of 64.5 V at 9.3 A peak pulse current, and fast response time under 1.0 ps. Used in industrial power supplies and automotive body control modules to protect downstream ICs from ESD and lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMAJ40ADF-13 datasheet, P6SMAJ40ADF-13 pinout, P6SMAJ40ADF-13 application, or P6SMAJ40ADF-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected circuit's absolute maximum rating, thermal resistance under PCB layout constraints, IPP derating above +25°C ambient, and D-FLAT package solderability per MIL-STD-202.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with cathode-anode polarity indicated by a band. Its glass-passivated die ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VRWM). The device responds to 10/1000 µs transients per REA standard, delivering precise clamping without follow-on conduction.
Thermal performance depends on PCB copper pad area: RθJA is 92 °C/W on a 0.4" × 0.5" 2 oz copper pad and 115 °C/W on a 1" × 1" pad. Junction-to-terminal resistance is 57 °C/W (small pad) or 64 °C/W (large pad), directly impacting power dissipation capability during repetitive surge events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600 W - Sustains single 10/1000 µs surge without failure under defined thermal conditions |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 40.0 V - Maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage before significant leakage begins |
| Clamping Voltage | 64.5 V @ 9.3 A - Maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during specified transient |
| Breakdown Voltage | 44.4–51.1 V @ 1.0 mA - Confirmed avalanche initiation range, ensuring reliable turn-on margin |
| Leakage Current | ≤1.0 µA @ 40.0 V - Negligible standby power loss and minimal impact on high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Package | D-FLAT - Low-profile (1.10 mm max height), surface-mountable, UL 94V-0 rated plastic case |
Pinout & Package
The D-FLAT package is a 2-terminal surface-mount device with cathode identified by a band. Terminals are matte tin annealed over copper leadframe, solderable per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded) | Cathode | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; carries surge current into ground path |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to protected line (e.g., 36–40 V supply rail); voltage referenced to cathode during clamping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die | Ensures long-term stability of VBR and low parameter drift across temperature and lifetime |
| Low-profile D-FLAT package | Reduces board space by >40% vs. SMA; enables routing under adjacent components in dense layouts |
| 600 W peak pulse rating | Supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV line-earth) surge immunity with margin |
| RoHS & halogen-free compliance | Meets EU RoHS 2 and green manufacturing requirements (Br+Cl <1500 ppm, Sb <1000 ppm) |
Applications
| Industrial Power Input Protection | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 48 V DC input stage of programmable logic controller exposed to load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between input rail and chassis ground to clamp transients before they reach DC-DC converter ICs. Use Value: Clamps 10/1000 µs surges to ≤64.5 V, keeping downstream 65 V-rated MOSFETs and controllers within safe operating area. | Use Scenario: LIN bus line protection in door module where ESD from human contact must not disrupt microcontroller communication. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS shunts ESD energy away from LIN transceiver's TX/RX pins during ±8 kV contact discharge. Use Value: Sub-1 ns response limits voltage overshoot to <65 V, preventing latch-up or damage to 5 V tolerant transceiver inputs. |
| Telecom Remote Radio Unit | Renewable Energy Charge Controller |
Use Scenario: DC power feed (36–44 V) to outdoor RRUs subject to induced lightning surges on long cable runs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on main DC input, coordinated with upstream fuse and downstream LC filter. Use Value: 600 W rating handles multiple 10/1000 µs surges without degradation; D-FLAT footprint allows placement near connector entry point. | Use Scenario: Battery-side input of solar charge controller connected to 48 V nominal battery bank with possible reverse polarity connection events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional protection not required; unidirectional TVS guards against positive transients only, reducing cost and capacitance. Use Value: 40 V VRWM matches battery float voltage; 64.5 V VC ensures MPPT controller ICs (rated to 65 V) remain undamaged during surge events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ40A-13-F | Same 40 V VRWM, but SMB package (higher RθJA = 110 °C/W), 600 W rating, slightly higher VC (65.5 V) | Larger footprint; less suitable for ultra-dense layouts where D-FLAT height <1.1 mm is critical | Select when existing SMB land pattern is fixed and thermal margin permits higher junction temperature rise |
| 1.5SMC40A | Same electrical specs but DO-214AB (SMC) package; 1.5 kW rating, larger size, RθJA ≈ 60 °C/W | Higher power handling but 3× board area; used where surge repetition rate demands superior thermal dissipation | Choose for high-duty-cycle surge environments (e.g., utility metering) where sustained 600 W pulses occur frequently |
Compared with SMBJ40A-13-F and 1.5SMC40A, P6SMAJ40ADF-13 delivers identical clamping performance in the smallest footprint, enabling compact designs where board space and profile are constrained-without sacrificing surge robustness or thermal reliability under single-event conditions.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for P6SMAJ40ADF-13 during surge events?
The device is rated for operation from –55 °C to +150 °C. During a single 10/1000 µs pulse, junction temperature rise is calculated using RθJT = 57 °C/W (small pad) or 64 °C/W (large pad). With 600 W peak power, ΔTJ reaches ~34,200 °C/W × W - but actual thermal mass limits instantaneous rise; sustained operation requires limiting average power to maintain TJ <150 °C.
Does P6SMAJ40ADF-13 meet IEC 61000-4-2 and IEC 61000-4-5 standards?
Yes - its 600 W peak pulse rating and sub-nanosecond response enable compliance with IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±15 kV air, ±8 kV contact) and IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV line-earth, 2 kV line-line) when properly implemented with appropriate PCB layout and coordination with upstream fusing.
Can P6SMAJ40ADF-13 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - it is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode-anode polarity. For bidirectional protection, two devices must be connected in series opposing configuration, or a dedicated bidirectional part such as P6SMBJ40CA-13-F should be selected instead.
What is the typical total capacitance of P6SMAJ40ADF-13 at 0 V bias?
Capacitance is not specified in the DS38930 datasheet for this series. Diodes Incorporated does not publish CT values for the P6SMAJ family; for high-speed data line protection where capacitance matters (e.g., USB, CAN), consult the P4SMAJ or SP1003 series, which provide explicit 1 MHz capacitance ratings.
