Product details
Overview
SMAJ130AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 400W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, with 130V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 144–159V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 209V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 1.5A peak impulse current-designed for automotive-grade DC/DC converter protection per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ130AH datasheet, SMAJ130AH pinout, SMAJ130AH application, or SMAJ130AH equivalent, key selection considerations include clamping performance under 10/1000μs surge, AEC-Q101 qualification status, moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on high-reliability power rails.
Technical Context
The SMAJ130AH employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast transient response (<1.0 ps from 0 V to VBR min) and low leakage (<1 µA at 130 V). Its unidirectional configuration provides asymmetric protection-forward conduction limited to 3.5 V at 25 A-enabling precise overvoltage clamping on positive-rail systems without bidirectional interference.
Thermally rated for TJ = –55°C to +150°C and derated above 25°C ambient, it delivers 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs waveform) up to 78 V; above that, power rating drops to 300 W-confirmed by Fig.2 derating curve and absolute maximum ratings table.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ130A | Identical VWM (130 V), VBR (144–159 V), VC (209 V), and DO-214AC package; same 400 W rating but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Approved for industrial/commercial use only; not validated for automotive temperature cycling or humidity testing | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and cost optimization is prioritized |
| ON Semiconductor SMAJ130A | Same electrical specs and package; RoHS/halogen-free compliant but MSL rated at Level 2 (not Level 1) | Requires moisture bake prior to reflow if exposed >1 year; unsuitable for high-volume automotive SMT without process controls | Select when full MSL 1 is not mandatory and existing assembly line supports Level 2 handling |
Compared with Littelfuse and ON Semiconductor alternatives, SMAJ130AH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, MSL 1 rating, and identical clamping performance-making it the only drop-in option for automotive production lines requiring zero process deviation and guaranteed lifetime reliability.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMAJ130AH under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The SMAJ130AH has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 209 V when subjected to its rated peak impulse current of 1.5 A using the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per IEC 61000-4-5 and confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table on page 3 of the official TSC datasheet revision A2102. The clamping behavior ensures protected circuits remain below critical overvoltage thresholds during automotive load dump events.
Is SMAJ130AH suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, SMAJ130AH is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not rated for bidirectional operation. For symmetric surge suppression, Taiwan Semiconductor specifies CH or CAH suffix variants (e.g., SMAJ130CH) which are explicitly characterized for conduction in both directions. Using SMAJ130AH in reverse-biased configurations may result in uncontrolled breakdown or failure, as its reverse leakage and clamping parameters are defined only for forward-biased transient suppression.
Does SMAJ130AH meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SMAJ130AH is AEC-Q101 qualified and tested per the full stress profile-including high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling (TCT), and human-body-model ESD (HBM). It also meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b transient immunity requirements. These qualifications are explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the TSC datasheet and verified through third-party certification reports available upon request.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of SMAJ130AH?
SMAJ130AH has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life and can be mounted directly after removal from packaging without baking or dry storage. This eliminates reflow process delays and reduces manufacturing risk-especially critical for high-throughput automotive electronics assembly where MSL 2+ components require strict humidity control and pre-bake protocols.
How does SMAJ130AH differ from SMAJ130H?
SMAJ130AH offers tighter breakdown voltage tolerance (144–159 V) versus SMAJ130H (144–176 V), resulting in more predictable clamping onset and reduced variation in surge response across production lots. Both share identical VWM (130 V), VC (209 V), and package (DO-214AC), but SMAJ130AH's narrower VBR range improves design margin assurance in safety-critical applications such as automotive power distribution units where consistent turn-on behavior is mandatory.
