Product details
Overview
SMAJ130CA-TR from STMicroelectronics is a bidirectional transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode designed for ESD and surge protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 130 V standoff voltage (VRM), 209 V clamping voltage at 1.9 A (10/1000 µs), 400 W peak pulse power, and operates up to 150 °C junction temperature - deployed in industrial power supplies and automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ130CA-TR datasheet, SMAJ130CA-TR pinout, SMAJ130CA-TR application, or SMAJ130CA-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping behavior, low leakage (<0.2 µA at 25 °C), JEDEC DO-214AC (SMA) package compatibility, and IEC 61000-4-2/4-4 compliance for system-level immunity validation.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses planar silicon junction technology to achieve stable breakdown characteristics and low dynamic resistance (11.7 Ω at 8/20 µs). Its bidirectional configuration enables symmetric clamping on AC-coupled or floating lines without polarity dependency.
The device meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±30 kV contact/air discharge) and IEC 61000-4-4 Level 4 (4 kV), with thermal performance validated per JESD22-A104 and solderability certified to J-STD-002 and MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Standoff Voltage (VRM) | 130 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 209 V at 1.9 A (10/1000 µs) - limits transient voltage seen by downstream circuitry |
| Peak Pulse Power | 400 W (10/1000 µs) - sustains short-duration surges without failure under standard test waveform |
| Leakage Current | 0.2 µA at 25 °C - minimizes standby power loss in high-impedance sensing or battery-backed circuits |
| Junction Temperature Range | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive or industrial ambient environments |
| Package | DO-214AC (SMA) - surface-mount footprint compliant with IPC-7531, MSL Level 1 |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AC (SMA), JEDEC-registered outline with cathode band marking; dimensions: 4.80–5.35 mm (E), 3.95–4.60 mm (E1), 2.25–2.90 mm (D), 1.90–2.45 mm (A1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point in forward bias; common terminal in bidirectional operation | Connected to protected line; forms symmetrical clamp path with cathode during either polarity surge |
| Cathode | Current exit point in forward bias; marked with band on package body | Provides reference node for clamping; bidirectional symmetry ensures equal VBR magnitude in both directions |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping | Enables protection of AC signals or floating buses without polarity constraints or external diode pairing |
| Low leakage current | 0.2 µA at 25 °C ensures negligible loading on high-impedance sensor inputs or precision reference nodes |
| High-temperature reliability | Rated for 150 °C Tj - maintains clamping stability in thermally constrained enclosures or near power stages |
| IEC 61000-4-2/4-4 compliance | Validated to ±30 kV ESD (contact/air) and 4 kV EFT - reduces need for additional system-level filtering |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Automotive Body Control Unit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of 24 V DC input channels against induced lightning surges and relay coil flyback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on field-side analog/digital inputs, placed before signal conditioning ICs. Use Value: Limits transients to ≤209 V, preventing damage to 30 V-rated op-amps and microcontroller GPIOs while maintaining <0.2 µA leakage at ambient temperatures. | Use Scenario: Surge suppression on LIN bus lines exposed to load dump and battery reversal events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional transient suppressor across LIN differential pair, referenced to chassis ground. Use Value: Symmetric clamping ensures equal protection during positive and negative transients, meeting ISO 16750-2 pulse 5a/b requirements without polarity-sensitive layout. |
| Telecom Power Interface | Medical Diagnostic Equipment |
Use Scenario: Input-stage protection for 48 V telecom rectifier outputs subjected to hot-swap and cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line defense on primary DC rail, coordinated with upstream fuses and downstream POL converters. Use Value: 400 W peak power rating handles 10/1000 µs surges up to 1.9 A, enabling robust front-end design without oversized heatsinking. | Use Scenario: ESD safeguarding of isolated patient-monitoring sensor interfaces (e.g., ECG leads) connected to hospital-grade power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage TVS on isolated analog front-end inputs, placed after isolation barrier but before instrumentation amplifier. Use Value: Sub-microamp leakage preserves signal integrity in high-gain, low-noise paths while passing IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 testing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130CA-TR | Same VRM (130 V), higher PPP (600 W), larger SMB package (DO-214AA) | Requires more PCB area; better suited for higher-energy surges where space permits | Select when surge energy exceeds 400 W and board layout allows SMB footprint |
| SMCJ130CA-TR | Same VRM (130 V), PPP = 1500 W, DO-214AB (SMC) package | Higher thermal mass and surge capacity; used in main power input stages | Choose for primary AC/DC input protection where 1.5 kW pulse handling is required |
Compared with SMBJ130CA-TR and SMCJ130CA-TR, SMAJ130CA-TR offers optimal balance of compact size, 400 W capability, and low leakage - ideal for space-constrained secondary-side protection where full SMB/SMC surge margin is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the difference between SMAJ130A-TR and SMAJ130CA-TR?
SMAJ130A-TR is unidirectional (anode-to-cathode conduction only), while SMAJ130CA-TR is bidirectional - providing symmetrical clamping for AC signals or floating lines. The 'C' suffix denotes bidirectional functionality, confirmed in Table 2 and the device description section of DS1251 Rev 15.
Does SMAJ130CA-TR meet automotive qualification standards?
SMAJ130CA-TR is not AEC-Q200 qualified, but its 150 °C junction rating, IEC 61000-4-2/4-4 compliance, and JEDEC-qualified solderability support use in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems like body control modules and LIN bus interfaces when validated per system-level requirements.
What is the dynamic resistance (RD) of SMAJ130CA-TR at 8/20 µs?
Per Table 2, RD is 11.7 Ω at 8/20 µs. This value quantifies voltage rise per unit current beyond clamping threshold and directly impacts residual voltage during fast transients - lower RD yields tighter clamping control for sensitive downstream ICs.
Can SMAJ130CA-TR be used in parallel for higher surge current handling?
Parallel use is not recommended due to mismatch in VBR and thermal coupling effects. ST does not characterize or guarantee performance in parallel configurations. For higher current needs, select a single higher-power device such as SMBJ130CA-TR or SMCJ130CA-TR instead.
