Product details
Overview
SMA5J5.0C-E3/61 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal and power lines. It features a 5.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 6.4–7.07 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 500 W peak pulse power (PPPM), and 54.3 V clamping voltage (VC) at 9.2 A peak pulse current - used in automotive sensor protection and industrial I/O interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMA5J5.0C-E3/61 datasheet, SMA5J5.0C-E3/61 pinout, SMA5J5.0C-E3/61 application, or SMA5J5.0C-E3/61 equivalent, key selection criteria include bi-directional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C junction temperature rating, low-profile surface-mount packaging, and compliance with IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 surge immunity standards.
Technical Context
This bi-directional TVS diode operates symmetrically in both polarities, enabling robust protection of AC-coupled or floating signal paths without polarity constraints. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance (<800 µA at VWM) and fast response time (<1 ns) to ESD and lightning-induced transients.
The device delivers 500 W peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 µs waveform under derated thermal conditions, with thermal resistance of 80 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) when mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads - critical for sustained surge reliability in compact PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 5.0 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before clamping begins; defines operating margin for 5 V logic/sensor interfaces |
| VBR min/max | 6.4 V / 7.07 V at 10 mA - guaranteed breakdown threshold ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events |
| VC @ IPPM | 54.3 V at 9.2 A - clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during 500 W transient surges |
| PPPM | 500 W - peak surge energy absorption capacity per 10/1000 µs waveform, validated per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 |
| TJ max | +150 °C - extended junction temperature rating supports under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |
| Package | DO-214AC (SMA) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with 5.28 mm length, 4.50 mm width, and 2.29 mm height |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMA5J5.0CA-E3/61 | Same electrical specs and package; CA suffix explicitly denotes bi-directional version (SMA5J5.0C-E3/61 is functionally identical per Vishay documentation) | No functional difference; both intended for bi-directional use | Select SMA5J5.0CA-E3/61 if ordering system requires explicit CA designation for clarity |
| SMCJ5.0CA | Higher PPPM (1500 W), larger DO-214AB (SMC) package (7.11 mm × 6.22 mm), higher VC (9.6 V at 136 A) | Better suited for high-energy industrial mains protection where board space allows larger footprint | Choose SMCJ5.0CA only when >500 W surge margin is required and DO-214AC size constraint does not apply |
Compared with SMA5J5.0CA-E3/61, the SMA5J5.0C-E3/61 offers identical protection performance in the same compact DO-214AC footprint; versus SMCJ5.0CA, it trades peak power headroom for 40 % smaller PCB area and lower thermal mass - ideal for space-constrained automotive and portable electronics.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMA5J5.0C-E3/61?
The SMA5J5.0C-E3/61 is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor, meaning it provides symmetrical clamping in both forward and reverse directions. Unlike uni-directional variants, it has no cathode band marking on the DO-214AC package - this absence of polarity marking confirms its bi-directional functionality per Vishay's datasheet revision 24-Oct-12.
Is SMA5J5.0C-E3/61 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMA5J5.0C-E3/61 is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and ESD per JESD47. This qualification validates its suitability for under-hood and cabin electronics where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is mandatory - such as engine control units and ADAS sensor interfaces.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMA5J5.0C-E3/61 during a surge event?
The SMA5J5.0C-E3/61 clamps to a maximum of 54.3 V at its rated peak pulse current of 9.2 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This VC value is measured under standardized test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Does SMA5J5.0C-E3/61 meet RoHS and lead-free requirements?
Yes, SMA5J5.0C-E3/61 carries the "E3" suffix indicating RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated leads, fully compliant with Directive 2011/65/EU. It also meets JESD201 Class 1A whisker testing requirements, confirming long-term solder joint reliability in lead-free reflow processes.
How does the thermal performance of SMA5J5.0C-E3/61 affect PCB layout?
SMA5J5.0C-E3/61 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 80 °C/W when mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal. To maintain safe operation below 150 °C junction temperature during repetitive surges, designers must provide adequate copper area and avoid excessive trace length - especially for high-duty-cycle protection scenarios.
