Product details
Overview
SMAJ200A-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 400W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary overvoltage protection in DC power lines and signal interfaces. It features a 200V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 224–248V breakdown voltage (VBR), 324V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 1.2A peak pulse current (IPP), and operates across –55°C to +150°C. It is used in industrial power supplies to safeguard downstream regulators against lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ200A-13-F datasheet, SMAJ200A-13-F pinout, SMAJ200A-13-F application, or SMAJ200A-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC VMAX, peak pulse current capability under 8.3ms waveform, thermal derating above +25°C, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast response (<1 ps) to transient events and stable clamping performance under repetitive surge conditions. Its unidirectional configuration provides low-leakage reverse blocking (IR ≤ 1.0 µA @ VRWM) while maintaining robust forward conduction during positive transients.
The device complies with IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD) and IEC 61000-4-5 (surge) immunity requirements when applied with appropriate series impedance. Its SMA package enables compact layout with minimal parasitic inductance, critical for effective high-speed transient suppression.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ200A-TP from Microchip | Identical VRWM (200V), VC = 324V, but rated for 1.0A IPP (vs. 1.2A); slightly lower PPK (350W). | Limited to lower-energy surge environments; not recommended for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance. | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs margin for worst-case surge testing. |
| SMBJ200A from Vishay | Same electrical specs but SMB package (larger footprint, higher thermal mass); PM(AV) = 1.5W vs. 1.0W. | Better steady-state power handling, but requires larger PCB area and may not fit space-constrained layouts. | Prefer when board layout allows SMB and thermal management prioritizes long-duration overload. |
Compared with SMAJ200A-TP and SMBJ200A, SMAJ200A-13-F delivers optimal balance of surge margin, compact SMA footprint, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for high-volume industrial SMT production.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMAJ200A-13-F at its rated peak pulse current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) is 324 V at a peak pulse current (IPP) of 1.2 A, measured using the 8.3 ms single half-sine waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events.
Is SMAJ200A-13-F suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No - SMAJ200A-13-F is unidirectional, indicated by the absence of "C" in its part number. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential buses), the SMAJ200CA-13-F variant must be used, which has symmetrical clamping in both polarities and no cathode band marking.
How does the SMA package affect thermal performance compared to SMB or SMC?
The SMA package has lower thermal resistance than SMB/SMC due to smaller die attach area and shorter heat path, resulting in a steady-state power dissipation (PM(AV)) of 1.0 W at TL = +75°C. Derating is steeper above +25°C, requiring careful PCB copper pour design to maintain junction temperature within –55°C to +150°C limits.
Does SMAJ200A-13-F meet AEC-Q200 qualification for automotive use?
No - the standard SMAJ200A-13-F is not AEC-Q200 qualified. Diodes offers an automotive-grade version, SMAJ200AQ-13-F, manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and qualified to AEC-Q200. That variant includes extended temperature screening, PPAP documentation, and change control for automotive applications.
