Product details
Overview
SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal and power lines. It features a 58 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 64.4–71.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 93.6 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 4.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs waveform). It is used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive and industrial power supply interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H datasheet, SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H pinout, SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H application, or SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification (via HM3 suffix), halogen-free RoHS compliance, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates symmetrically in both directions due to its bidirectional CA construction, enabling protection of AC-coupled or floating signal paths without polarity concerns. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1 μA at 58 V), while the low incremental surge resistance supports fast energy absorption during ESD or lightning-induced surges.
The device is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and exhibits a thermal resistance of 120 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) on standard PCB pads. Its MSL Level 1 rating (per J-STD-020) and 260 °C lead-free reflow compatibility confirm suitability for high-volume automated manufacturing.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ58CAHE3_A/H | Same electrical specs, but RoHS-compliant (non-halogen-free) and commercial-grade only-lacks AEC-Q101 qualification. | Approved for consumer/industrial use only; not certified for automotive under-hood deployment. | Select when AEC-Q101 is unnecessary and cost sensitivity favors non-halogen-free variant. |
| SMBJ58CAHM3 | Higher 600 W PPPM rating, SMB (DO-214AA) package-larger footprint (4.57 mm × 3.94 mm) and 150 °C TJ max. | Used where higher surge margin is required (e.g., outdoor telecom), but requires PCB layout change. | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 and board space permits larger package. |
Compared with SMAJ58CAHE3_A/H, the SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H adds halogen-free compliance and AEC-Q101 validation for automotive use; compared with SMBJ58CAHM3, it trades 200 W pulse power for smaller SMA footprint and identical thermal performance on matched pad layouts.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 93.6 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 4.3 A under a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and guarantees that protected circuits will not experience voltages exceeding 93.6 V during standardized surge events. The clamping performance is validated across the full operating temperature range of −55 °C to +150 °C, and the SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H maintains this specification in bidirectional mode.
Is SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HM3" suffix in its ordering code, which denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101-qualified construction. It undergoes stress testing including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and mechanical shock per AEC-Q101 Rev D. This makes SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H suitable for under-hood engine control units, ADAS camera modules, and body electronics where automotive-grade reliability is mandated.
What is the thermal resistance of SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 120 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes standard FR-4 PCB with 1 oz copper. To maintain junction temperature below 150 °C during repetitive surges, designers must ensure adequate copper area and avoid excessive trace length. The SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H's RθJL of 30 °C/W further indicates efficient heat transfer to PCB leads, supporting thermal performance in compact layouts.
Does SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H have polarity markings, and how is it installed on PCB?
No, SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H does not have polarity markings because it is a bidirectional TVS diode-the internal structure is symmetrical, and both terminals function identically regardless of voltage polarity. Installation requires no orientation check; the device can be placed in either direction across the protected line and ground. This simplifies automated placement and eliminates risk of reverse installation errors common with unidirectional variants like SMAJ58A.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H at its stand-off voltage?
The SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 μA at its 58 V stand-off voltage (VWM), measured at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on systems and prevents signal degradation in high-impedance sensor interfaces. Leakage remains below 5 μA up to 125 °C, preserving performance in under-hood automotive environments where the SMAJ58CAHM3P_A/H is commonly deployed.
