Product details
Overview
SM30T47CAY from STMicroelectronics is a bidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode in SMC package, designed for ISO 7637-2 pulse protection and ISO 10605 ESD immunity. It features 47 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 44.4–49 V), 64.5 V clamping voltage at 356 A (8/20 µs), 3000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 0.2 µA max leakage at 25 °C, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature - deployed in 12 V/24 V automotive power line surge protection.
For engineers reviewing the SM30T47CAY datasheet, SM30T47CAY pinout, SM30T47CAY application, or SM30T47CAY equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, automotive qualification evidence (AEC-Q101), ISO-compliant surge performance data, and real-world design context for battery rail and LIN/CAN bus interface protection.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS uses planar silicon technology to achieve low leakage (≤0.2 µA) and high thermal stability up to Tj = 175 °C, enabling long-term reliability in under-hood environments. Its dynamic resistance of 74.6 mΩ ensures rapid voltage clamping during fast transients like ISO 10605 contact discharge (±30 kV) and ISO 7637-2 Pulse 3b (+150 V).
The device meets stringent automotive standards including IEC 61000-4-4 Level 4 (4 kV), ISO 10605 (C = 150/330 pF), and ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (−150 V), with clamping behavior validated across temperature (−55 °C to +175 °C) and pulse duration (8/20 µs to 10/1000 µs).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 44.4 / 46.7 / 49 V - Ensures reliable turn-on before downstream IC damage in 12 V/24 V systems |
| VCL @ 356 A (8/20 µs) | 64.5 V - Limits transient voltage to safe level for 5 V/3.3 V microcontrollers and CAN transceivers |
| PPP (10/1000 µs) | 3000 W - Withstands load dump surges without degradation when mounted on recommended FR4 footprint |
| IR max @ VRM | 0.2 µA at 25 °C - Prevents standby current drain in always-on automotive modules (e.g., body control units) |
| Tj operating range | −55 °C to +175 °C - Supports placement near engines or in transmission control units without derating |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use per stress test requirements - eliminates need for additional qualification testing |
| Package | SMC (DO-214AB) - JEDEC-registered outline with matte tin plating, compatible with standard reflow profiles (J-STD-020 MSL 1) |
Pinout & Package
SM30T47CAY is housed in an SMC (DO-214AB) surface-mount package with two terminals: Cathode and Anode. The bidirectional configuration means both terminals function symmetrically as transient current paths during positive or negative voltage excursions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Transient current entry point (negative polarity) | Accepts reverse surge energy during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (−150 V) or Pulse 3a (−220 V) |
| Cathode | Transient current entry point (positive polarity) | Accepts forward surge energy during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 2a (+112 V) or Pulse 3b (+150 V) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping | Protects both polarities of 12 V/24 V supply rails without external polarity coordination |
| Low dynamic resistance (74.6 mΩ) | Minimizes VCL rise under high-current transients - critical for protecting 5 V logic interfaces |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood deployment - reduces validation burden for Tier 1 suppliers |
| ISO 10605 ±30 kV ESD immunity | Exceeds Level 4 for both air and contact discharge - suitable for exposed connectors and sensor harnesses |
| Junction temperature rating (175 °C) | Enables placement in high-ambient zones (e.g., near powertrain ECUs) without thermal derating |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ47CA | VBR = 44.7–49.4 V; VCL = 77.0 V @ 38.9 A (8/20 µs); PPP = 400 W | Lower peak power rating limits suitability for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/3b in 24 V systems | Select only for cost-sensitive non-critical 12 V subsystems where 3000 W capability is not required |
| Vishay SMA6J47CA | VBR = 44.7–49.4 V; VCL = 77.0 V @ 38.9 A (8/20 µs); PPP = 600 W; AEC-Q101 qualified | Same qualification but lower surge capacity - insufficient for full ISO 7637-2 compliance in power distribution nodes | Acceptable for LIN or low-energy sensor interfaces, but not for main battery rail protection |
Compared with SMAJ47CA and SMA6J47CA, SM30T47CAY delivers 5× higher peak pulse power (3000 W vs. ≤600 W) and lower clamping voltage (64.5 V vs. 77.0 V) at rated current - making it the only option among the three capable of meeting full ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 3a, and 3b requirements in automotive power domains.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SM30T47CAY under ISO 7637-2 Pulse 3b conditions?
The SM30T47CAY clamps to 64.5 V at 356 A for an 8/20 µs waveform, which directly covers ISO 7637-2 Pulse 3b (VS = +150 V). Measured VCL remains stable across −55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature, ensuring consistent protection during cold cranking and hot soak conditions.
Does SM30T47CAY require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
No derating is needed for ambient temperatures up to +125 °C when mounted on the recommended IPC7531-compliant footprint with 3.14 cm² copper area per lead. Thermal resistance drops to 40 °C/W under those conditions, maintaining Tj ≤ 175 °C even during sustained 3000 W pulses.
Can SM30T47CAY be used in 24 V commercial vehicle systems?
Yes - its 47 V VBR and 64.5 V VCL provide sufficient margin above 24 V nominal systems (max 28 V), and it passes ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (−150 V) and Pulse 2a (+112 V) tests at full rating. The 175 °C Tj rating supports under-hood deployment in trucks and buses.
How does the bidirectional configuration affect PCB layout versus unidirectional TVS diodes?
SM30T47CAY requires no polarity-aware routing: it connects directly across the protected line and ground (or between differential lines like CAN_H/CAN_L). Unlike unidirectional devices, there is no cathode/anode orientation constraint - simplifying layout and eliminating risk of reverse installation in high-volume assembly.
