Product details
Overview
SMAJ200CAQ-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a bi-directional 400W automotive transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode with 200V reverse standoff voltage, 324V max clamping voltage at 1.2A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood power line protection in ISO7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/3a/3b-compliant systems.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ200CAQ-13-F datasheet, SMAJ200CAQ-13-F pinout, SMAJ200CAQ-13-F application, or SMAJ200CAQ-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to system rail, IPP derating above +25°C ambient, bi-directional surge handling for AC-coupled or floating lines, and IATF 16949 manufacturing traceability.
Technical Context
This bi-directional TVS uses glass-passivated junction construction to achieve low leakage (<0.5µA at VRWM) and stable breakdown across -55°C to +175°C operating range. Its 10×1000µs waveform response targets ISO7637-2 transient suppression with defined Pulse 1 (-100V), Pulse 2a (+50V), Pulse 3a (-150V), and Pulse 3b (+100V) immunity.
Clamping performance is validated per IPP = 1.2A (10×1000µs), delivering VC = 324V - a 62% overvoltage margin above VRWM = 200V - enabling robust protection of 24V/48V automotive electronics without false triggering during normal transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 400W - sustains single 10×1000µs surges up to 1.2A without failure |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 200V - maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage before clamping initiates |
| Max Clamping Voltage | 324V @ IPP = 1.2A - limits downstream voltage during ISO7637-2 Pulse 1/3a events |
| Breakdown Voltage | 224–248V @ IT = 1.0mA - ensures reliable turn-on with 12% tolerance band |
| Leakage Current | <0.5µA @ VRWM - prevents battery drain in always-on vehicle modules |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +175°C - supports placement near engines, inverters, or battery packs |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), surface-mount, molded plastic UL 94V-0 housing; cathode band omitted (bi-directional device); terminals matte tin-plated, solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Transient current entry (negative surge) | Conducts during negative-going transients (e.g., ISO7637-2 Pulse 1, 3a) |
| Cathode | Transient current entry (positive surge) | Conducts during positive-going transients (e.g., ISO7637-2 Pulse 2a, 3b) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bi-directional clamping | Protects AC-coupled or floating signal/power lines from ±200V surges without polarity constraints |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood use with PPAP documentation and IATF 16949 production control |
| Glass passivated die | Ensures stable VBR and low IR across temperature and lifetime, critical for long-term reliability |
| Halogen & antimony free | Meets automotive "Green" requirements: Br+Cl <1500ppm, Sb <1000ppm |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Input | Body Control Module (BCM) LIN Bus Line |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 24V supply line exposed to load dump and alternator ripple in gasoline/diesel engine bays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on main power rail upstream of DC-DC converters. Use Value: Limits transients to ≤324V, preserving 36V-rated input capacitors and preventing brownout resets during ISO7637-2 Pulse 1 (-100V) events. | Use Scenario: LIN physical layer interface connecting door modules, seat controllers, and lighting nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bi-directional ESD and surge protector on bidirectional LIN bus (19.2 kbps, ±40V common-mode range). Use Value: Withstands ±30kV contact discharge (ISO10605) while adding <0.5pF capacitance, avoiding signal integrity degradation. |
| 48V Mild Hybrid Battery Management | ADAS Camera Power Interface |
Use Scenario: High-side switch driver supply in 48V start-stop and regenerative braking systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient suppressor on gate driver VDD rail subject to inductive kickback from solenoid loads. Use Value: Clamps 1.2A pulses within 10ns, preventing latch-up in high-side FET drivers during ISO7637-2 Pulse 2a (+50V) switching events. | Use Scenario: Power input to 12MP camera module mounted behind rearview mirror or grille. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Final-stage surge guard before buck converter feeding image sensor and ISP. Use Value: Maintains VRWM = 200V margin above 48V nominal rail, eliminating false triggering during cold-crank dips and cranking spikes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bi-directional automotive TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ200A-13-F | Uni-directional; cathode-banded; VF = 3.5V @ 35A forward surge | Requires correct polarity placement; unsuitable for AC or floating lines | Select only when protecting unidirectional DC rails with known polarity and no reverse transients |
| SMCJ200CA | Higher PPK = 1500W; larger SMC package; same VRWM/VC specs | Used where higher surge energy (e.g., ISO7637-2 Pulse 5a) must be absorbed | Choose when system-level testing shows 400W insufficient for worst-case load dump scenarios |
Compared with SMAJ200A-13-F, the bi-directional SMAJ200CAQ-13-F eliminates polarity dependency but trades off forward conduction capability; versus SMCJ200CA, it offers identical clamping at lower surge rating in a space-constrained SMA footprint.

FAQ
What does the 'C' suffix in SMAJ200CAQ-13-F indicate?
The 'C' denotes bi-directional configuration: both anode and cathode terminals conduct during opposite-polarity transients, enabling protection of floating or AC-coupled lines without polarity constraints. Unlike uni-directional variants (e.g., SMAJ200AQ-13-F), it lacks a cathode band marking and exhibits symmetrical clamping behavior above ±200V.
How is the 324V clamping voltage validated?
The 324V max clamping voltage is measured per the 10×1000µs double-exponential waveform (Figure 4 in DS40739), with peak pulse current IPP = 1.2A applied at TA = +25°C. This test condition directly maps to ISO7637-2 Pulse 3a (-150V) and Pulse 3b (+100V) surge profiles used in automotive EMC validation.
Can SMAJ200CAQ-13-F replace SMAJ170CAQ-13-F in a 24V system?
No - SMAJ200CAQ-13-F has VRWM = 200V, exceeding typical 24V system rails by >7×, resulting in insufficient margin for clamping effectiveness. SMAJ170CAQ-13-F (VRWM = 170V) provides tighter alignment with 24V nominal + load dump peaks (~150V), yielding lower VC and better protection headroom.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) and reflow profile?
SMAJ200CAQ-13-F is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH and may be reflowed using standard Pb-free profiles with peak temperature ≤260°C. No baking is required prior to assembly, simplifying SMT line integration for automotive Tier 1 suppliers.
