Product details
Overview
P6SMAJ85ADF-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 reverse standoff voltage of 85.0 V, breakdown voltage range of 94.4–108.2 V at 1.0 mA test current, clamping voltage of 137.0 V at 4.4 A peak pulse current, and fast response time under 1.0 ns. It is deployed in industrial power supplies to safeguard rectifier outputs against lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMAJ85ADF-13 datasheet, P6SMAJ85ADF-13 pinout, P6SMAJ85ADF-13 application, or P6SMAJ85ADF-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC VBR, peak pulse power handling under IEC 61000-4-5 waveform, thermal resistance on standard FR-4 layouts, and D-FLAT package compatibility with high-density PCB routing.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a shunt-clamping device, conducting only during overvoltage events above its breakdown threshold while presenting high impedance (<1 µA leakage at 85 V) under normal operation. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and low capacitance (≈15 pF at 0 V bias), critical for protecting high-speed analog inputs without signal distortion.
The device uses a low-profile D-FLAT package with cathode-band polarity marking and matte tin–annealed copper leadframe for reliable solderability. Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 92 °C/W on a 0.4" × 0.5" 2 oz copper pad, enabling sustained 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 surge events per IEC 61000-4-5 without degradation |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 85.0 V - Maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage before significant leakage begins |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 137.0 V at 4.4 A - Upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuit during rated surge |
| Breakdown Voltage Range | 94.4–108.2 V at 1.0 mA - Ensures predictable turn-on across manufacturing lot and temperature |
| Max Reverse Leakage | 1.0 µA at 85.0 V - Negligible standby current draw in battery-powered or low-power systems |
| Package | D-FLAT - 2-pin, low-profile (1.10 mm max height), footprint area 2.95 mm × 4.60 mm |
Pinout & Package
Package: D-FLAT - molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), cathode band marking, 0.035 g weight, terminals matte tin annealed over copper leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Anode-side connection point for reverse-biased clamping | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when VIN > VBR |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference/ground return path | Must be tied to system ground plane with low-inductance trace to minimize clamping overshoot |
Key Features

| Glass-passivated die construction | Provides stable VBR over temperature (-55°C to +150°C) and long-term reliability under repeated transients |
| Low-profile D-FLAT package | Reduces board space by 40% vs. SMA; compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI) due to flat top surface |
| RoHS-compliant & halogen-free | Meets IPC-J-STD-609 Class 3 for bromine (<900 ppm), chlorine (<900 ppm), antimony (<1000 ppm) |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Input Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) CAN Bus Line Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ85A-T | Same 85 V VRWM, but SMB package (higher RθJA = 110 °C/W); 600 W rating confirmed | Less suitable for high-density layouts due to larger footprint (4.6 mm × 3.9 mm vs. D-FLAT's 2.95 mm × 4.60 mm) | Select when existing PCB land pattern matches SMB and thermal margin exceeds 15°C |
| 1.5SMC85A | Same electrical specs, but SMC package (5.3 mm × 5.3 mm); higher mounting height (2.7 mm) | Preferred for manual assembly or where mechanical robustness outweighs board space constraints | Choose when vibration resistance or hand-solder rework capability is prioritized over miniaturization |
Compared with SMBJ85A-T and 1.5SMC85A, P6SMAJ85ADF-13 delivers identical clamping performance in a 30% smaller footprint and lower profile, enabling tighter routing around sensitive analog traces and improved thermal coupling to inner-layer ground planes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for P6SMAJ85ADF-13?
The device supports continuous operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature. At ambient temperatures above +75°C, derating applies: peak pulse power drops linearly to 50% at +125°C ambient per Figure 1. Steady-state power dissipation must remain ≤1.5 W at TL = +75°C with specified PCB copper area.
Is P6SMAJ85ADF-13 bidirectional or unidirectional?
P6SMAJ85ADF-13 is a unidirectional TVS diode, configured as a single PN-junction device with cathode-band polarity marking. It clamps only positive transients on the cathode terminal relative to anode (ground). For bidirectional protection, two devices in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional variant like P6SMBJ85CA would be required.
How does the D-FLAT package affect PCB layout requirements?
The D-FLAT package requires a specific pad layout: 2.80 mm × 4.60 mm copper pad per terminal, with 0.20 mm gap between pads. Thermal relief is discouraged; full copper connection to internal ground planes is recommended to achieve RθJA = 92 °C/W. The flat top surface enables AOI but eliminates visual polarity verification-orientation must be verified by stencil alignment and pick-and-place fiducials.
Can P6SMAJ85ADF-13 replace older P6KE85A through-hole parts?
Yes, electrically it matches P6KE85A's VRWM, VC, and PPK ratings, but the D-FLAT package is not a drop-in replacement. Layout redesign is required: footprint changes from axial-lead TO-204AA to 2-pin surface-mount, and thermal management shifts from heatsink mounting to PCB copper area optimization. No soldering process change is needed beyond standard reflow profiles for SnPb or lead-free assembly.
