Product details
Overview
SMAJ130H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 130 V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 144–176 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA test current, 231 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) under 1.3 A peak impulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 µs waveform - suitable for automotive-grade surge immunity per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ130H datasheet, SMAJ130H pinout, SMAJ130H application, or SMAJ130H equivalent, this device is evaluated for high-reliability DC/DC converter input protection, SMPS line filtering, lighting driver ESD hardening, and on-board power rail transient suppression where fast response (<1 ps), low leakage (<1 µA @ 130 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification are required.
Technical Context
The SMAJ130H operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, optimized for clamping transients above its VWM while maintaining sub-µA reverse leakage below breakdown. Its DO-214AC (SMA) package supports automated placement and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94V-0 flammability standards.
It delivers 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) up to 125°C ambient, derating linearly beyond 25°C per Fig.2; clamping performance is specified at 1.3 A IPPM, yielding VC = 231 V - critical for protecting downstream 150 V-rated MOSFETs or controllers in 12–48 V industrial systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 130 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; sets safe margin for 120 V nominal DC bus applications. |
| VBR min/max | 144–176 V @ 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures reliable triggering above system overvoltage thresholds. |
| VC @ IPPM | 231 V @ 1.3 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; defines worst-case stress on protected ICs or FETs. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak pulse power handling per standard 10/1000 µs waveform; supports ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (inductive switch-off) immunity. |
| IR @ VWM | <1 µA - Reverse leakage at rated stand-off voltage; minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed or energy-sensitive circuits. |
| Package | DO-214AC (SMA) - Surface-mount outline with cathode band marking; compatible with standard reflow profiles and J-STD-002 solderability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ130A | Bidirectional variant (CA suffix implied); symmetric clamping in both polarities; VBR = 144–159 V; VC = 209 V @ 1.5 A. | Required where reverse-polarity faults or AC-coupled signals demand bidirectional protection. | Select SMAJ130A only if circuit topology exposes the device to reversible voltage transients - SMAJ130H remains optimal for unidirectional DC rail protection. |
| Vishay SMAJ130A-E3/5A | Same unidirectional function; identical DO-214AC package; VBR = 144–176 V; VC = 231 V @ 1.3 A; AEC-Q101 qualified but with different test report traceability. | No functional deviation; suitable for drop-in replacement where Vishay sourcing is preferred in existing BOMs. | Verify lot-level compliance documentation for automotive programs; otherwise electrically interchangeable with SMAJ130H in non-automotive industrial use. |
Compared with SMAJ130A (bidirectional) and SMAJ130A-E3/5A (Vishay), the SMAJ130H offers optimized unidirectional clamping with lowest VC consistency and direct Taiwan Semiconductor AEC-Q101 certification - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, high-volume 12–48 V DC systems requiring single-polarity surge suppression.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMAJ130H under standard surge conditions?
The SMAJ130H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 231 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs peak impulse current of 1.3 A. This value is measured per JEDEC-standard test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events - critical for ensuring downstream components like gate drivers or microcontrollers remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Is the SMAJ130H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the SMAJ130H is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly tested for automotive use cases including load dump, inductive switching, and capacitive coupling transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b. Its glass-passivated junction, 150 °C maximum junction temperature, and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance make it appropriate for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power supplies.
How does the SMAJ130H differ from the SMAJ130AH variant?
The SMAJ130AH has a tighter breakdown voltage range (144–159 V vs. 144–176 V for SMAJ130H) and lower clamping voltage (209 V vs. 231 V at rated IPPM), achieved via tighter process control. Both share identical package, VWM (130 V), and peak power rating (400 W), but SMAJ130AH is preferred where precise VBR matching or lower VC is required - such as in high-accuracy voltage threshold detection circuits.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the SMAJ130H at its working voltage?
The SMAJ130H exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 µA when biased at its full working stand-off voltage of 130 V. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on systems like telematics modules or smart sensors, and supports long-term reliability in battery-powered applications where standby current directly impacts service life.
Does the SMAJ130H require heatsinking in typical applications?
No, the SMAJ130H does not require external heatsinking in standard surge-protection applications because its 400 W peak pulse power rating applies to non-repetitive 10/1000 µs waveforms - during which thermal mass of the DO-214AC package absorbs energy transiently. Continuous power dissipation is limited to 1 W, so steady-state heating is negligible unless subjected to frequent repetitive surges above derating limits.
