Product details
Overview
SMAJ130AHM3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 130 V standoff voltage (VWM), 144–159 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 209 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 1.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs waveform). It is used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in automotive and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ130AHM3_A/H datasheet, SMAJ130AHM3_A/H pinout, SMAJ130AHM3_A/H application, or SMAJ130AHM3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification status, 1.4 A surge current rating, thermal resistance (RθJA = 120 °C/W), and halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction per JESD201 Class 2 whisker test.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that enters avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold (VBR = 144–159 V), limiting transient energy to safe levels for downstream circuitry. Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns) ensure effective suppression of ESD, lightning-induced surges, and inductive switching spikes.
The SMAJ130AHM3_A/H is rated for 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) up to 78 V, derating to 300 W above that - confirmed for this variant at TA = 25 °C with 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads. It supports operating junction temperatures from –55 °C to +150 °C and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 130 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before significant leakage; defines upper limit of normal operation. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 144–159 V at IT = 1 mA - Voltage range where avalanche conduction begins; ensures reliable triggering without premature conduction. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 209 V at IPPM = 1.4 A - Maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 μs transient; determines stress on downstream components. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 400 W (≤78 V), 300 W (>78 V) - Surge energy handling capability under standardized waveform; confirms robustness against common transients. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | 1.0 μA at VWM - Low leakage preserves system efficiency and prevents false triggering in high-impedance circuits. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables use in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments. |
| RθJA | 120 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to ambient; informs PCB pad design and power derating requirements. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), surface-mount, low-profile case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102. Polarity marked by cathode band on unidirectional devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / transient return path | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return rail); completes clamping loop during reverse surge. |
| Cathode | Transient voltage sensing / clamping node | Connected to protected line (e.g., 130 V supply rail); conducts avalanche current when VAK exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing - suitable for engine control, ADAS, and body electronics. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant (HM3 suffix) | Meets environmental compliance mandates (IEC 61249-2-21) and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance - required for Tier-1 automotive BOMs. |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Handles IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV, 2 Ω source) on 130 V lines without degradation - eliminates need for external series impedance. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.37) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on protected ICs - critical for 130 V-rated gate drivers and isolated DC-DC controllers. |
| MSL Level 1, 260 °C peak reflow | Enables standard SMT assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns - reduces factory handling cost and process risk. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Cathode-to-gate, anode-to-source configuration for bidirectional gate protection. Use Value: Absorbs Miller-induced voltage spikes during switching transitions - extends MOSFET lifetime in 100 kHz+ PWM systems. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ130AHE3_A/H | Same electrical specs, but RoHS-compliant (E3) instead of halogen-free (HM3); no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Approved for commercial/industrial use only; not certified for automotive under hood or safety-critical modules. | Select when halogen-free requirement is waived and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| SMAJ130A-M3/61 | Identical VWM/VBR/VC ratings, same SMA package, but packaged in 7" tape/reel (61 code) and lacks AEC-Q101 qualification. | Intended for high-volume consumer electronics; no automotive traceability or stress-test validation. | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where full AEC-Q101 documentation is not mandated. |
Compared with SMAJ130AHM3_A/H, the HE3 variant trades halogen-free compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification for lower cost in commercial applications, while the M3/61 version offers identical performance without automotive validation or environmental certification - making SMAJ130AHM3_A/H the sole choice for production automotive systems requiring both.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMAJ130AHM3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMAJ130AHM3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 209 V at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 1.4 A under the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per standard test conditions (TA = 25 °C, mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMAJ130AHM3_A/H maintains this clamping performance consistently across its qualified temperature range.
Is SMAJ130AHM3_A/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMAJ130AHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HM3" suffix and confirmed in Vishay's ordering information and mechanical data tables. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and ESD - validating its suitability for under-hood and safety-critical automotive systems. The SMAJ130AHM3_A/H meets all requirements for use in engine control units, ADAS power supplies, and body electronics.
What does the "HM3" suffix mean in SMAJ130AHM3_A/H?
The "HM3" suffix in SMAJ130AHM3_A/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction meeting JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, plus AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this variant from E3 (RoHS only), M3 (halogen-free, commercial grade), and HE3 (RoHS + AEC-Q101, but not halogen-free). The HM3 designation ensures compliance with stringent automotive environmental and reliability standards required by major Tier-1 suppliers.
Can SMAJ130AHM3_A/H be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, SMAJ130AHM3_A/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, as confirmed by its part number ending in "A" (not "CA") and its polarity marking (cathode band). Bidirectional operation requires the "CA" suffix (e.g., SMAJ130CA). Using SMAJ130AHM3_A/H in reverse-biased signal paths risks forward conduction and failure. For bidirectional protection at 130 V, select SMAJ130CAHM3_A/H or equivalent.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum power dissipation of SMAJ130AHM3_A/H?
The SMAJ130AHM3_A/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 120 °C/W and a steady-state power dissipation (PD) rating of 3.3 W at TA = 50 °C on an infinite heatsink. These values guide PCB layout - minimum 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal are recommended to achieve rated pulse power. Derating applies above 25 °C ambient, per Figure 2 in the Vishay datasheet 88390.
