Product details
Overview
SA75H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 75V transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-204AC (DO-15) package, rated for 500W peak pulse power at 10/1000μs, with 83.3–102V breakdown voltage (VBR), 134V clamping voltage (VC) at 3.9A, and <1μA reverse leakage at 75V - deployed for automotive ECU power rail surge protection per AEC-Q101.
For engineers reviewing the SA75H datasheet, SA75H pinout, SA75H application, or SA75H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 175°C max junction temperature, DO-15 mechanical compatibility, and verified clamping performance under ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients.
Technical Context
The SA75H operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its VBR range of 83.3–102V at 1mA test current; it clamps transient energy to ≤134V at 3.9A peak pulse current (IPPM), delivering low-impedance surge path with <1.0ps response time from 0V to VBR.
Its thermal design supports continuous operation up to TJ = 175°C, with steady-state power dissipation of 3W at 75°C lead temperature, and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94V-0 flammability requirements - confirming suitability for under-hood automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins |
| VBR min/max | 83.3 V / 102 V at 1 mA - ensures reliable turn-on above system nominal rail while avoiding false triggering |
| VC @ IPPM | 134 V at 3.9 A - limits downstream IC voltage stress during 10/1000μs surges |
| PPK | 500 W - sustains single high-energy transients without failure per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 |
| IR @ VWM | <1 μA - negligible standby leakage, preserving battery life in always-on automotive modules |
| TJ max | 175 °C - enables placement near heat sources (e.g., power converters) in engine control units |
| Package | DO-204AC (DO-15) - industry-standard axial leaded form factor compatible with legacy PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
DO-204AC (DO-15) package with axial leads: cathode indicated by band marking; anode and cathode terminals support through-hole mounting on 10×10 mm copper pads per JEDEC standard for optimal thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / Reverse surge return path | Connected to ground or low-impedance return plane to complete clamping loop during transients |
| Cathode | Reverse voltage sensing / Clamping output node | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12V supply rail); conducts when VAK > VBR to shunt surge energy |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ75A | Same 75V VWM, but bidirectional; 100W lower PPK (400W); SMA package (SMT) | Requires PCB redesign for surface-mount; unsuitable for unidirectional-only circuits needing polarity enforcement | Select only if board space constraints mandate SMT and bidirectional protection is acceptable |
| 1.5KE75A | Same DO-15 package and unidirectional function; 1.5kW PPK; higher VC (129V); no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive reliability validation; higher clamping increases risk to 3.3V/5V logic downstream | Acceptable for industrial non-automotive use where cost outweighs qualification requirements |
Compared with SMAJ75A and 1.5KE75A, the SA75H delivers AEC-Q101 assurance, precise 134V clamping at 3.9A, and optimized thermal performance in DO-15 - making it the preferred choice for automotive-grade 75V rail protection where qualification, consistency, and layout continuity are critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SA75H under standard 10/1000μs surge conditions?
The SA75H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 134 V at 3.9 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the 10/1000μs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting for protected downstream circuitry - a critical parameter confirmed in the SA75H datasheet Table on page 4.
Is the SA75H unidirectional or bidirectional, and how is polarity identified?
The SA75H is a unidirectional TVS diode. Polarity is marked by a cathode band on the DO-204AC (DO-15) package body; the banded end connects to the protected line (e.g., 12V rail), while the unbanded anode connects to ground. Bidirectional variants in the SA series use "CA" suffixes (e.g., SA75CA), not "H".
Does the SA75H meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the "H" suffix in SA75H explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification per the manufacturer's Ordering Information table (Page 5). This includes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life - validating its use in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the SA75H?
The SA75H has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +175°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This allows reliable operation in under-hood environments where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C, provided PCB thermal design meets the 10×10 mm copper pad requirement per JEDEC.
How does the SA75H compare to the SA75A variant?
The SA75H and SA75A share identical electrical parameters (VWM = 75 V, VBR = 83.3–102 V, VC = 134 V), but only the SA75H carries AEC-Q101 qualification. The SA75A is intended for industrial/commercial applications; both use DO-204AC packaging and have the same 500W peak pulse rating.
