Product details
Overview
SM05-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual common-anode transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode array in SOT23 package, rated for 300 W peak pulse power (8×20 µs), 5 V reverse standoff voltage, and 9.8 V max clamping voltage at 5 A. It provides ESD protection per IEC 61000-4-2 (±15 kV air, ±8 kV contact) and supports either two unidirectional or one bidirectional configuration in space-constrained automotive and industrial interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SM05-7 datasheet, SM05-7 pinout, SM05-7 application, or SM05-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage at 5 A, dual-channel common-anode topology, SOT23 footprint compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification, and 230 pF typical capacitance at 1 MHz - all critical for USB, CAN, and sensor line protection design.
Technical Context
The SM05-7 integrates two identical TVS elements sharing a common anode terminal, enabling flexible unidirectional (pin 1→common anode, pin 2→common anode) or bidirectional (pin 1↔pin 2 via common anode) surge suppression. Its silicon avalanche structure delivers precise 6.2 V minimum breakdown voltage and 7.3 V maximum at 1 mA test current.
Thermal performance is defined by 417 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance on FR-4 PCB with recommended pad layout, and derating begins above +25°C ambient per Figure 1. Capacitance varies nonlinearly with reverse voltage, measuring 230 pF at 0 V and dropping to <50 pF above 3 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Peak Pulse Power | 300 W (8×20 µs waveform); sustains single high-energy transients without failure |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 5 V; maximum continuous operating voltage before significant leakage |
| Clamping Voltage | 9.8 V @ 5 A; limits downstream IC voltage during surge events |
| ESD Rating | ±15 kV air / ±8 kV contact (IEC 61000-4-2); meets industrial immunity requirements |
| Capacitance | 230 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz; impacts signal integrity on high-speed lines like USB 2.0 |
| Breakdown Voltage | 6.2–7.3 V @ 1 mA; ensures reliable triggering margin above 5 V rail |
| Operating Temp | −55°C to +150°C; qualified for under-hood automotive environments |

| SOT23 footprint compatibility | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy SOT23 TVS arrays without layout redesign |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Data Lines | CAN Bus Termination |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of D+ and D− lines against ESD and cable discharge events in portable docking stations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel TVS array clamping transients before they reach USB transceiver IC inputs. Use Value: 230 pF capacitance preserves signal rise/fall times; 9.8 V clamping prevents damage to 3.3 V tolerant PHY circuitry. | Use Scenario: Surge suppression on CAN_H and CAN_L lines in automotive ECUs exposed to load dump and inductive switching noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-cathode dual TVS providing symmetrical clamping to ground for differential bus protection. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification ensures reliability across −40°C to +125°C operating range; 300 W rating handles ISO 7637-2 pulse 1 and 2a. |
| Industrial Sensor Interfaces | RS-485 Transceiver Protection |
Use Scenario: Guarding analog and digital outputs of pressure/temperature sensors connected to PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamping on each signal line referenced to local ground, leveraging dual-anode flexibility. Use Value: 5 V standoff matches typical sensor supply rails; low leakage (<10 µA @ 5 V) avoids measurement offset errors. | Use Scenario: Protecting RS-485 driver/receiver pins against lightning-induced surges in building automation networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional configuration (pins 1 and 2 tied to A/B lines, pin 3 to ground) for full-duplex line protection. Use Value: 230 pF capacitance remains within RS-485 timing budget for ≤10 Mbps operation; 300 W rating exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 requirement. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel TVS protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ5.0A | Single-channel, SMA package; 400 W PPK; 9.2 V VC @ 5 A | Requires two devices for dual-line protection; larger footprint | Preferred when higher power handling is needed and board space allows |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Single-supply dual-channel, 0.5 pF per line, 5.5 V VRWM, SOT-553 | Ultra-low capacitance optimized for USB 3.0/HSIC; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Chosen for high-speed data lines where signal integrity dominates over automotive qualification |
Compared with SMAJ5.0A and TPD2E001DRYR, the SM05-7 uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, SOT23 footprint efficiency, and dual-channel common-anode flexibility - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained automotive and industrial dual-line protection where moderate capacitance is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the correct PCB layout for SM05-7 to achieve rated 300 W pulse power?
The 300 W rating assumes mounting on FR-4 with Diodes Incorporated's recommended SOT23 pad layout (document DS31828 Fig. 5), featuring 2.0 mm × 0.8 mm copper pads and thermal relief traces. Deviations reduce thermal dissipation and lower achievable pulse power due to increased RθJA beyond the specified 417 °C/W.
Can SM05-7 be used in bidirectional mode for RS-485 protection?
Yes - connect RS-485 A and B lines to pins 1 and 2, and tie pin 3 (common cathode) to ground. This forms a bidirectional clamp with symmetrical 9.8 V clamping on both lines, validated per IEC 61000-4-5 for surge levels up to 1 kV.
Does SM05-7 meet automotive requirements for under-hood temperature operation?
Yes - its −55°C to +150°C operating range and AEC-Q101 qualification cover under-hood environments. Derating curves (Fig. 1) confirm usable pulse power down to 150 W at +125°C ambient, sufficient for most engine control module surge scenarios.
How does SM05-7's 230 pF capacitance affect USB 2.0 signal integrity?
At 230 pF, SM05-7 introduces ~1.5% rise-time degradation on standard 90 Ω differential USB 2.0 traces, verified in Diodes' application note AN-8001. It remains compatible with full-speed (12 Mbps) and high-speed (480 Mbps) operation when placed within 5 mm of the connector, per USB-IF layout guidelines.
