Product details
Overview
SA130C from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 500W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode with 130V working stand-off voltage, 144–176V breakdown voltage at 1mA test current, and 230V maximum clamping voltage at 2.2A peak pulse current. It features <1.0ps response time, <1μA reverse leakage above 10V, and is housed in DO-204AC (DO-15) package for automotive-grade surge protection in power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the SA130C datasheet, SA130C pinout, SA130C application, or SA130C equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, mechanical package details, real-world use scenarios in ESD/inductive load protection, and validated alternative parts with documented differences in clamping performance and temperature coefficient.
Technical Context
The SA130C operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its VBR range (144–176V), diverting transient energy to ground while limiting downstream voltage to ≤230V at 2.2A. Its low dynamic impedance ensures stable clamping under 10/1000μs surge waveforms.
Designed per ANSI/IEEE C62.35, it supports AEC-Q101 qualification (via SA130CH variant), withstands 70A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3ms half-sine), and maintains operation across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature range with 175°C max TJ rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 130 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; defines safe DC/AC rail margin. |
| VBR @ IT=1mA | 144–176 V - Breakdown voltage range at 1mA test current; determines precise turn-on threshold tolerance. |
| VC @ IPPM=2.2A | 230 V - Clamping voltage during 10/1000μs surge; limits peak stress on protected ICs. |
| PPK | 500 W - Peak pulse power handling at TA=25°C; enables robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges. |
| IR @ VWM | <1 μA - Reverse leakage at 130V; ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity in high-impedance circuits. |
| TJ MAX | +175 °C - Maximum junction temperature; supports under-hood automotive deployment without derating. |
| Response Time | <1.0 ps - Avalanche initiation delay from 0V to VBR; critical for sub-nanosecond ESD event suppression. |

| LED Driver Overvoltage Suppression | ESD-Sensitive Sensor Interface Protection |
Use Scenario: Shielding constant-current LED drivers in streetlight systems from lightning-induced surges on AC mains or DC bus lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamping device on driver input stage, coordinated with MOVs for multi-stage protection architecture. Use Value: Fast <1.0ps response captures initial surge edge before slower MOVs activate, reducing total clamping time by >40%. |
Use Scenario: Protecting analog front-end inputs of automotive cabin sensors (e.g., humidity, pressure) from human-body-model (HBM) ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS (CJ ≈ 100pF at VR=0V) placed directly at connector interface to shunt ESD current before IC pins. Use Value: Sub-1μA leakage preserves microvolt-level signal integrity in ratiometric sensor bridges without offset error. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ130A | VBR = 144–159V (tighter tolerance), VC = 209V @ 2.5A, 600W PPK rating | Higher surge rating allows longer-duration transients; lower clamping voltage improves margin for 130V-rated ICs | Preferred where tighter VBR consistency and lower VC are required, but requires validation of DO-214AC footprint compatibility |
| ON Semiconductor 1.5SMC130A | VBR = 144–159V, VC = 219V @ 2.3A, 1500W PPK, DO-214AB package | Higher power rating suits infrequent high-energy surges; larger SMC package increases board area vs. DO-15 | Select when system-level surge tests exceed 500W or thermal management permits larger package; not drop-in due to different footprint |
Compared with SA130C, SMAJ130A offers lower clamping and tighter VBR but shares DO-15 compatibility, while 1.5SMC130A provides higher surge capacity at the cost of board space and layout redesign-making SA130C optimal for space-constrained 500W automotive and industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SA130C under standard 10/1000μs surge conditions?
The SA130C has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 230 V when subjected to a 10/1000μs waveform at its rated peak pulse current of 2.2 A. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream components. The SA130C's clamping performance remains stable across its full operating temperature range from –55°C to +175°C.
Is the SA130C unidirectional or bidirectional, and how is polarity identified?
The SA130C is a unidirectional TVS diode, designed for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed. Polarity is marked by a cathode band on the DO-204AC (DO-15) package body-this band must be oriented toward the protected line (e.g., 130V rail), while the anode connects to ground. Bidirectional variants (e.g., SA130CA) exist but are distinct part numbers with different marking and electrical behavior.
Does the SA130C meet AEC-Q101 qualification, and what does that entail for automotive use?
The base SA130C is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the SA130CH variant-identical in electrical specs and DO-15 packaging-is fully AEC-Q101 certified. This includes stress testing for temperature cycling, unbiased HAST, mechanical shock, and board flex, making SA130CH suitable for under-hood automotive applications. Always specify "H" suffix for automotive-grade procurement.
What is the reverse leakage current of the SA130C at its full working stand-off voltage?
At its rated working stand-off voltage of 130 V, the SA130C exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 μA at 25°C. This ultra-low leakage is confirmed per the manufacturer's datasheet and ensures minimal power loss and no measurable impact on high-impedance sensor or battery-backed circuits-critical for always-on automotive modules.
Can the SA130C be used in parallel for higher surge current handling?
No-parallel connection of SA130C devices is not recommended due to mismatch in VBR (144–176V range), which causes uneven current sharing and potential thermal runaway. For higher surge capability, select a single higher-rated device (e.g., SA150C) or implement staged protection with upstream MOVs and downstream low-capacitance TVS. The SA130C is designed for standalone 500W transient suppression.
