Product details
Overview
SMAJ130AHM3_A/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, designed for clamping fast voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 130 V standoff voltage (VWM), 144–159 V breakdown range (VBR at 1 mA), 209 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 1.4 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in automotive and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ130AHM3_A/I datasheet, SMAJ130AHM3_A/I pinout, SMAJ130AHM3_A/I application, or SMAJ130AHM3_A/I equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification (via HM3 suffix), 150 °C max junction temperature, low incremental surge resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device triggered by reverse-biased avalanche breakdown. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5 %) and fast response time (<1 ps), while the SMA package supports high thermal dissipation (RθJA = 120 °C/W) and meets MSL level 1 reflow requirements (260 °C peak).
The device delivers 400 W peak pulse power up to 78 V and derates to 300 W above that threshold, with clamping performance validated under standardized 10/1000 μs surge waveforms per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. It exhibits 1.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) at VC = 209 V and maintains <1.0 μA reverse leakage at VWM = 130 V.

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/I | RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), same VWM/VC/PPPM, E3 suffix | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for consumer/industrial non-automotive use | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and halogen-free is not mandated |
| SMBJ130A-HM3_A/I | Same electrical specs but SMB (DO-214AA) package - 2.54 mm lead pitch vs. SMA's 2.29 mm; 600 W PPPM | Higher power rating and larger footprint; requires PCB layout change | Choose for enhanced surge margin where board space allows larger package |
Compared with SMAJ130AHM3_A/I, the SMAJ130AHE3_A/I offers identical clamping performance without automotive qualification, while SMBJ130A-HM3_A/I provides 50 % higher peak power in a physically larger package - enabling trade-offs between layout density, qualification, and surge headroom.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SMAJ130AHM3_A/I under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The SMAJ130AHM3_A/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 209 V at 1.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures downstream components see no more than 209 V during transient events - a critical parameter for protecting 150 V-rated MOSFETs or 200 V-input DC/DC converters. The SMAJ130AHM3_A/I achieves this with low incremental surge resistance and fast avalanche response.
Is the SMAJ130AHM3_A/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SMAJ130AHM3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HM3" suffix and Vishay documentation. This qualification validates its reliability under temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and surge stress conditions required for automotive electronics - including engine control modules, body control units, and ADAS power domains. The SMAJ130AHM3_A/I also meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and MSL Level 1 reflow standards.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in SMAJ130AHM3_A/I?
The "HM3" suffix in SMAJ130AHM3_A/I denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. Specifically, "H" indicates halogen-free molding compound, "M3" confirms RoHS compliance and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and the full suffix aligns with Vishay's automotive-grade ordering code structure. This distinguishes it from commercial-grade variants like SMAJ130A-E3 and ensures suitability for regulated automotive and green-industrial designs. The SMAJ130AHM3_A/I is supplied in 13" tape-and-reel (7500 pcs) with "I" carrier code.
How does the SMAJ130AHM3_A/I compare to bidirectional TVS diodes?
The SMAJ130AHM3_A/I is unidirectional and intended for DC line protection where polarity is fixed - such as +130 V rails referenced to ground. Unlike bidirectional types (e.g., SMAJ130CA), it conducts only in reverse avalanche and blocks forward current up to 3.5 V at 25 A. This makes it unsuitable for AC or floating differential lines but ideal for minimizing leakage and optimizing clamping precision in polarized systems. The SMAJ130AHM3_A/I's cathode band clearly identifies orientation for correct PCB placement.
What is the thermal resistance and power derating behavior of the SMAJ130AHM3_A/I?
The SMAJ130AHM3_A/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 120 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads. Its 3.3 W steady-state power dissipation (PD) derates linearly above 25 °C ambient, reaching zero at 150 °C junction temperature. Peak pulse power drops from 400 W to 300 W above 78 V VWM, and both ratings follow Vishay's Fig. 2 derating curve. The SMAJ130AHM3_A/I's RθJL = 30 °C/W enables effective heat transfer to PCB traces or thermal vias.
