Product details
Overview
SMAJ58A-TR from STMicroelectronics is a unidirectional 400 W transient voltage suppression diode designed for primary-level ESD and surge protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 58 V stand-off voltage (VRM), 64.4 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 93.6 V maximum clamping voltage (VCL) at 4.3 A IPP, and operates up to 150 °C junction temperature. It is commonly deployed in industrial power supplies and automotive body electronics to suppress IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge (±30 kV) and IEC 61000-4-4 level 4 surges (4 kV).
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ58A-TR datasheet, SMAJ58A-TR pinout, SMAJ58A-TR application, or SMAJ58A-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC VDD, leakage current at elevated temperature (≤1 µA @ 85 °C), thermal resistance under PCB copper area constraints, and compatibility with IPC-7531 SMA footprint.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses planar silicon technology to achieve low leakage (<0.2 µA @ 25 °C) and stable VBR over temperature (αT = 10⁻⁴ /°C). Its unidirectional configuration enables asymmetric clamping-forward conduction during negative transients and reverse avalanche during positive surges-making it suitable for single-polarity rail protection without polarity reversal risk.
The device complies with JEDEC DO-214AC (SMA) mechanical outline and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1, enabling lead-free reflow without pre-baking. Its dynamic resistance (RD = 2.62 Ω) and pulse power derating curve (400 W @ 10/1000 µs, 121 W @ 8/20 µs) define real-world surge handling capability under varying waveform stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRM) | 58 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage begins. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 64.4–67.8 V @ 1 mA - Ensures reliable triggering above normal rail voltage with margin against false triggering. |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 93.6 V @ 4.3 A (10/1000 µs) - Limits peak voltage seen by downstream circuitry during surge events. |
| Peak Pulse Power | 400 W (10/1000 µs) - Sustains typical lightning-induced surges per IEC 61000-4-5 Annex A. |
| Leakage Current | ≤0.2 µA @ 25 °C, ≤1 µA @ 85 °C - Minimizes standby power loss and avoids bias drift in high-impedance nodes. |
| Junction Temperature Range | −55 to +150 °C - Supports operation in under-hood automotive and industrial environments without derating. |
| ESD Robustness | ±30 kV (contact & air, IEC 61000-4-2) - Exceeds level 4 immunity requirements for human-body-model ESD. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), JEDEC-registered surface-mount outline with 2.25–2.90 mm body width (D), 4.80–5.35 mm length (E), and 0.75–1.50 mm lead length (L). Compliant with IPC-7531 footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (marked band) | Surge return path | Connected to system ground or low-impedance reference; conducts avalanche current during positive transients. |
| Anode | Protected line input | Connected to DC rail or signal line; blocks reverse current until VBR is exceeded. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-temperature coefficient of VBR | αT = 10⁻⁴ /°C - Enables predictable clamping across −55 to +150 °C without recalculating margins. |
| Planar junction construction | Reduces parasitic capacitance (<100 pF @ 0 V) and improves long-term reliability vs. alloyed junctions. |
| Matte tin-plated leads | Complies with J-STD-002, JESD 22-B102 E3, and MIL-STD-750 method 2026 - Ensures solderability and whisker resistance. |
| MSL Level 1 rating | No floor life limitation - Can be mounted directly after unpacking without baking, reducing manufacturing overhead. |

FAQ
What is the difference between SMAJ58A-TR and SMAJ58CA-TR?
SMAJ58A-TR is unidirectional, providing protection only against positive-going transients on a referenced rail, while SMAJ58CA-TR is bidirectional and protects both polarities-suitable for AC-coupled signals or floating buses. Their VBR, VCL, and power ratings are identical, but CA types exhibit symmetric clamping behavior and higher junction capacitance due to dual-junction structure.
Can SMAJ58A-TR be used in parallel for higher surge current handling?
No-parallel connection is not recommended due to mismatch in dynamic resistance (RD = 2.62 Ω) and VBR tolerance (±5%), which causes uneven current sharing and potential thermal runaway. For higher IPP, select a higher-rated part like SMAJ70A-TR or implement staged protection with a GDT upstream.
Does SMAJ58A-TR require a heatsink on standard FR4 PCB?
No external heatsink is required. With Rth(j-a) ≈ 120 °C/W on minimal copper (1 cm² per pad) and 400 W peak power applied for <1 ms, junction temperature rise remains within safe limits. Use ≥2.5 cm² total copper area per pad to maintain Tj <150 °C during repeated surges.
Is SMAJ58A-TR compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes-SMAJ58A-TR carries ECOPACK2 certification, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU (Pb-free matte tin plating) and REACH SVHC thresholds. Full compliance documentation, including material declarations and test reports, is available via ST's quality portal using order code SMAJ58A-TR.
