Product details
Overview
SMAJ58E3/TR13 from Microsemi is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in DO-214AC (SMA) package, rated for 500 W peak pulse power at 10/1000 µs, with 58 V standoff voltage (VWM), 64.4 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), and 103.0 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 4.9 A peak pulse current - deployed for ESD/EFT protection in DC power rails and I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ58E3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ58E3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ58E3/TR13 application, or SMAJ58E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under IEC61000-4-2/4-4, thermal resistance (15 °C/W junction-to-lead), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and compatibility with standard FR4 PCB footprints per JEDEC MO-213.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds VBR = 64.4 V (min) at IBR = 1 mA, limiting transient energy to ≤103.0 V at 4.9 A IPP while maintaining <100 ps theoretical response time. It sustains 5 W steady-state dissipation at TL = 75 °C and withstands 40 A forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine).
Designed for surface-mount reliability, it features void-free UL94V-0 epoxy body, C-bend leads, and moisture sensitivity level 1 (no dry pack required). Its 15 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables effective heat transfer to PCB copper, supporting robust operation across –65 °C to +150 °C ambient range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 58 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin for 48 V systems. |
| VBR (min) | 64.4 V @ 1 mA - Minimum avalanche initiation threshold; ensures predictable turn-on above nominal system voltage. |
| VC @ IPP | 103.0 V @ 4.9 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines protected circuit's maximum stress exposure. |
| PPP | 500 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; supports high-energy transients like lightning-induced surges (IEC61000-4-5 Class 4). |
| ID @ VWM | ≤5.3 µA - Low leakage current at standoff voltage; minimizes standby power loss and avoids false triggering. |
| tclamp | <100 ps (theoretical) - Near-instantaneous response enables effective suppression of ESD events per IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (±15 kV air). |
| TJ Range | –65 °C to +150 °C - Wide operating temperature window suitable for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments. |

| Telecom DC Feeder Protection | Medical Equipment Power Supply Input |
|
Use Scenario: -48 V telecom rectifier output feeding remote radio units, vulnerable to induced surges from nearby lightning strikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-level TVS on DC feed line, coordinated with upstream GDTs to handle secondary lightning energy per IEC61000-4-5 (12 Ω source, Class 2). Use Value: 500 W rating absorbs up to 4.9 A peak pulses without degradation, enabling single-stage protection architecture and reducing BOM count. |
Use Scenario: AC/DC adapter input stage in Class II medical devices requiring reinforced isolation and low leakage.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ58A | No "e3" RoHS suffix; SnPb plating instead of matte tin; identical electrical specs and DO-214AC package. | Not suitable for RoHS-compliant production; requires leaded solder process and fails IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture classification. | Select SMAJ58A only for legacy repair or non-RoHS military/aerospace programs where SnPb assembly is mandated. |
| SMBJ58A | Same VWM/VBR/VC, but 600 W rating and DO-214AA (SMB) package - 2.5× larger footprint and 20% higher thermal resistance (18 °C/W). | Better surge margin but incompatible with SMA-reflow profiles and space-constrained layouts; not drop-in replaceable. | Choose SMBJ58A only when PCB layout allows larger pad area and thermal budget requires >500 W headroom. |
Compared with SMAJ58A and SMBJ58A, SMAJ58E3/TR13 uniquely combines RoHS compliance, industry-standard SMA footprint, and verified 500 W IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 capability - making it optimal for high-volume, space-sensitive, and environmentally regulated designs.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMAJ58E3/TR13 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMAJ58E3/TR13 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 103.0 V at 4.9 A peak pulse current (IPP) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 2 in the Microsemi datasheet MSC0270A and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events. Designers use this parameter to verify that downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Is SMAJ58E3/TR13 unidirectional or bidirectional, and how is polarity identified?
SMAJ58E3/TR13 is a unidirectional TVS diode, meaning it conducts only in reverse bias above its breakdown voltage. Polarity is indicated by a cathode band on the package body - the banded end connects to system ground, and the unbanded end connects to the protected line. Bidirectional variants use a "CA" suffix (e.g., SMAJ58CA), which SMAJ58E3/TR13 does not carry.
Does SMAJ58E3/TR13 meet IEC61000-4-5 for lightning surge protection?
Yes, SMAJ58E3/TR13 is rated for secondary lightning protection per IEC61000-4-5 with both 12 Ω and 42 Ω source impedances. Specifically, it supports Class 2 (12 Ω source) and Class 4 (42 Ω source) testing, as confirmed in the Applications section of the MSC0270A datasheet. Its 500 W rating and 103.0 V clamping ensure compliance when used with appropriate coordination components.
What is the thermal resistance and steady-state power rating of SMAJ58E3/TR13?
SMAJ58E3/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 15 °C/W and a steady-state power dissipation of 5 W at lead temperature (TL) = 75 °C. When mounted on a standard FR4 board with 1 oz copper and recommended footprint, it dissipates 1.56 W at ambient temperature (TA) = 25 °C. These values guide heatsinking and layout decisions for continuous-duty applications.
What does the "TR13" suffix indicate in SMAJ58E3/TR13?
The "TR13" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging: 2500 units per 13-inch reel, using 12 mm wide carrier tape compliant with EIA-481-1-A standards. This format enables automated pick-and-place assembly and supports traceability via reel labeling. The "e3" portion confirms RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, while "TR13" specifies mechanical packaging - both are integral to the full orderable part number SMAJ58E3/TR13.
