Product details
Overview
SMAJ130CA-E3/61 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional 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 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 (10/1000 μs waveform). It is used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in industrial motor drives and automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ130CA-E3/61 datasheet, SMAJ130CA-E3/61 pinout, SMAJ130CA-E3/61 application, or SMAJ130CA-E3/61 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, 130 V working voltage compatibility with 24 V/48 V DC bus systems, low leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM), AEC-Q101 qualification eligibility (via HE3 suffix variants), and SMA package suitability for automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamping protector using an avalanche junction structure, responding within <1 ps to transient overvoltages. Its bidirectional symmetry enables protection of AC-coupled or floating signal paths without polarity concerns, and its 120 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management under repetitive surge conditions.
The SMAJ130CA-E3/61 delivers stable clamping performance across -55 °C to +150 °C operating temperature, with a VBR temperature coefficient of +0.108 %/°C - enabling predictable voltage margining in high-temperature environments such as engine bay electronics or industrial power supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 130 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; sets system-level overvoltage threshold for 24 V/48 V DC applications. |
| VBR (min/max) | 144 V / 159 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures reliable turn-on margin above VWM; critical for avoiding false triggering during normal operation. |
| VC @ IPPM | 209 V at 1.4 A - Clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 μs surge; defines worst-case stress on downstream components. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 μs waveform; supports protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surges (1 kV/2 Ω). |
| IDRM | <1.0 μA at 130 V - Ultra-low reverse leakage preserves signal integrity and minimizes standby power loss in battery-powered sensors. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables use in under-hood automotive or high-temperature industrial enclosures without derating. |
| Package | SMA (DO-214AC) - Standardized surface-mount outline with 5.28 mm × 4.50 mm footprint; compatible with J-STD-020 reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads; meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Bidirectional construction means no polarity marking - both terminals are functionally identical.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode / Cathode (symmetrical) | Transient conduction path | Both terminals conduct identically during positive or negative transients; no orientation required during placement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping | Enables single-device protection of AC signals or ungrounded differential buses without external polarity logic. |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Withstands repeated lightning-induced surges per IEC 61000-4-5 without degradation when mounted on 5 mm × 5 mm copper pads. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes VC overshoot during fast-rising transients (e.g., ESD or inductive switch-off), improving protection margin. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification option | HE3/HM3 suffix variants meet automotive reliability standards for under-hood and chassis-mounted ECUs. |
| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Allows unlimited floor life and standard reflow without baking - reduces manufacturing overhead in high-volume SMT lines. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Automotive Body Control Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ130A-E3/61 | Unidirectional version; cathode-marked; 1.0 μA leakage at VWM vs. same for CA variant. | Requires correct polarity placement; suitable only for DC-biased lines with defined ground reference. | Select when protecting unidirectional power rails where polarity is fixed and lower cost is prioritized. |
| SMBJ130CA-E3/52 | Same VWM/VC specs but in SMB (DO-214AA) package; 600 W PPPM; 10% larger footprint. | Higher power handling supports heavier industrial surges; requires PCB layout revision due to larger pad spacing. | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds 400 W requirements or when thermal margin must be increased via larger copper area. |
Compared with SMAJ130A-E3/61, the SMAJ130CA-E3/61 eliminates polarity dependency for floating or AC-coupled nodes; compared with SMBJ130CA-E3/52, it trades 200 W pulse power headroom for space-constrained layouts in compact consumer and automotive modules.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMAJ130CA-E3/61 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMAJ130CA-E3/61 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 209 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 1.4 A, measured under the standardized 10/1000 μs double-exponential surge waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events and is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88390, page 2.
Is SMAJ130CA-E3/61 suitable for automotive applications?
SMAJ130CA-E3/61 itself is commercial-grade (E3 suffix), but Vishay offers AEC-Q101-qualified versions under HE3/HM3 suffixes (e.g., SMAJ130CAHE3_A). The SMAJ130CA-E3/61 shares identical electrical characteristics and package dimensions, making it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems like infotainment or lighting - provided full qualification is not mandated by program requirements.
How does the bidirectional design of SMAJ130CA-E3/61 affect PCB layout?
The bidirectional design of SMAJ130CA-E3/61 eliminates polarity constraints: no cathode band marking exists, and either terminal may connect to line or ground. This simplifies layout by removing orientation checks during automated placement and allows reuse across symmetric signal pairs (e.g., RS-485, CAN FD differential lines) without redesigning silkscreen or footprint polarity indicators.
What is the thermal resistance of SMAJ130CA-E3/61, and how does it impact power dissipation?
SMAJ130CA-E3/61 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 120 °C/W when mounted on minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads. At its rated DC power dissipation of 3.3 W, this results in ~396 °C temperature rise - confirming that the device is intended for transient-only duty (duty cycle ≤ 0.01%), not continuous power handling.
Does SMAJ130CA-E3/61 meet lead-free soldering standards?
Yes, SMAJ130CA-E3/61 is RoHS-compliant and rated for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020, with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C. Its matte tin-plated leads are qualified to JESD 22-B102 for solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 for whisker resistance, ensuring long-term reliability in automated SMT assembly lines.
