Product details
Overview
SMAJ60E3/TR13 from Microsemi is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for primary and secondary lightning surge protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 60 V standoff voltage (VWM), 66.7 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 107 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 4.7 A peak pulse current, and 500 W peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in industrial power supplies and telecom interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ60E3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ60E3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ60E3/TR13 application, or SMAJ60E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under IEC61000-4-5 (42 Ω source), low standby leakage (<5 µA @ VWM), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR4 boards using standard DO-214AC footprint.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 66.7 V breakdown threshold at 1 mA test current. Its sub-100 ps theoretical response time enables effective suppression of ESD (IEC61000-4-2) and fast EFT bursts (IEC61000-4-4).
Thermal design relies on low junction-to-lead thermal resistance (15 °C/W) and specified mounting on FR4 with 1 oz copper; steady-state dissipation is rated at 5 W at lead temperature (TL) = 75 °C, dropping to 1.56 W at ambient (TA) = 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Standoff) | 60 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; defines safe DC rail margin. |
| VBR (Min) | 66.7 V @ 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset voltage; ensures reliable triggering above nominal rail. |
| VC @ IPP | 107 V @ 4.7 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines protected circuit's max stress level. |
| PPP | 500 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; validates compliance with IEC61000-4-5 Class 1–4 surge levels. |
| ID @ VWM | <5 µA - Ultra-low leakage current; prevents measurable power loss or bias shift in high-impedance circuits. |
| Package | DO-214AC (SMA) - Standardized surface-mount outline with wide leads for thermal and mechanical robustness. |
| Operating Temp | −65 °C to +150 °C - Supports deployment in automotive under-hood, industrial motor drives, and outdoor telecom enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) package with cathode-indicated band; two-terminal unidirectional configuration. Body dimensions: 4.93–5.48 mm length × 2.57–2.79 mm width × 2.26 mm height; recommended pad layout per Microsemi MSC0270A Rev L.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Fast clamping response | <100 ps theoretical turn-on; mitigates nanosecond-scale ESD events before sensitive ICs experience overstress. |
| IEC61000-4-5 compliance | Validated for secondary lightning protection up to Class 4 (42 Ω source) - covers telecom, PoE, and industrial control inputs. |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | No dry-pack required per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B; simplifies handling and eliminates bake-out prior to assembly. |
| Economical SMT form factor | DO-214AC footprint enables high-density placement without through-hole drilling or axial-leaded component routing. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Input Protection | Telecom Line Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 24 V DC input stage of programmable logic controller (PLC) exposed to inductive switching transients and field wiring surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between +24 V rail and chassis ground to clamp positive-going transients before they reach DC-DC converter input. Use Value: Limits voltage seen by upstream rectifier and downstream regulator to ≤107 V, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in MOSFET-based power stages. | Use Scenario: RS-485 data line pair in outdoor base station equipment subject to induced lightning surges and EFT noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Paired SMAJ60E3/TR13 devices (one per line) referenced to common ground, suppressing differential-mode surges on A/B bus lines. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity by clamping transients within 107 V while adding <1 pF parasitic capacitance - no data rate degradation at 10 Mbps. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | Medical Equipment Power Entry |
Use Scenario: 12 V battery-supplied body control module (BCM) subjected to load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a/b. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on main power input, positioned upstream of LDO regulators and microcontroller VDD.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Final-stage TVS on isolated 5 V/3.3 V outputs to prevent transient coupling into safety-critical analog front-ends. Use Value: Meets IEC60601-1 creepage/clearance requirements via compact DO-214AC package and verified 150 °C operating range for sterilization cycles. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ60A-E3/5A (Vishay) | Identical VWM (60 V), VBR (66.7 V min), VC (107 V), and DO-214AC package; same RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating. | No functional deviation; validated for identical IEC61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 test profiles and thermal derating curves. | Select when dual-sourcing is required or Vishay distribution channels offer better lead time or volume pricing. |
| 1.5SMC60A (ON Semiconductor) | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs and DO-214AB package (mechanically compatible but slightly shorter lead span); 1.5 kW rating vs. 500 W. | Higher peak power rating allows extended surge duty cycle; requires verification of PCB pad layout compatibility due to minor dimensional variance. | Prefer for high-reliability systems needing margin beyond 500 W, provided board layout accommodates DO-214AB footprint. |
Compared with SMAJ60E3/TR13, SMAJ60A-E3/5A offers identical electrical and mechanical behavior for drop-in qualification, while 1.5SMC60A provides higher pulse power headroom at the cost of potential layout adaptation - both require independent validation for avionics-grade screening or MIL-PRF-19500 compliance.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMAJ60E3/TR13 under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMAJ60E3/TR13 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 107 V when subjected to a 4.7 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 2 in the Microsemi MSC0270A datasheet and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events.
Is SMAJ60E3/TR13 unidirectional or bidirectional?
SMAJ60E3/TR13 is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the absence of "C" or "CA" in its part number suffix. It conducts only in reverse bias above its 66.7 V breakdown voltage and must be installed with cathode tied to ground - unlike bidirectional variants such as SMAJ60CAE3/TR13.
Does SMAJ60E3/TR13 meet IEC61000-4-5 for lightning surge protection?
Yes, SMAJ60E3/TR13 is rated for secondary lightning protection per IEC61000-4-5 with 42 Ω source impedance up to Class 1 (SMAJ5.0–SMAJ100A range), covering applications like industrial control inputs and telecom line interfaces where surge currents up to 4.7 A occur.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for SMAJ60E3/TR13?
The SMAJ60E3/TR13 dissipates up to 5 W continuously when mounted on a FR4 PCB with 1 oz copper and maintained at a lead temperature (TL) of 75 °C. At ambient temperature (TA) = 25 °C, its rated steady-state power drops to 1.56 W due to thermal resistance limitations.
Can SMAJ60E3/TR13 be used in lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, SMAJ60E3/TR13 features RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating and is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering at 260 °C for up to 10 seconds, meeting JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements without dry-pack preconditioning.
