Product details
Overview
SMAJ75A-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 400W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode with 75V reverse standoff voltage, 83.3V minimum breakdown voltage, 121V maximum clamping voltage at 3.3A peak pulse current, and SMA package. It protects DC power rails and signal lines in industrial power supplies, automotive ECUs, and telecom interfaces against ESD and lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ75A-13-F datasheet, SMAJ75A-13-F pinout, SMAJ75A-13-F application, or SMAJ75A-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC VDD, peak pulse current capability under 8.3ms half-sine waveform, thermal derating above +25°C ambient, and compatibility with automated SMT reflow profiles for SMA packages.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a shunt-clamping device triggered by overvoltage events exceeding its reverse standoff voltage (75V), entering avalanche conduction at ≥83.3V to limit transient energy. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<100µA at VRWM).
Designed for single-pulse surge suppression per IEC 61000-4-5 (10/1000µs waveform) and ESD immunity per IEC 61000-4-2 (±30kV contact), it delivers 400W peak pulse power with fast response time (<1.0ps) and maintains operation across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 400W - sustains single 8.3ms half-sine surge without failure under defined thermal conditions |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 75V - maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage before significant leakage begins |
| Breakdown Voltage | 83.3–92.1V - guaranteed avalanche onset range at 1.0mA test current, defining turn-on threshold |
| Clamping Voltage | 121V at 3.3A IPP - maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during specified 8.3ms surge |
| Peak Pulse Current | 3.3A - maximum non-repetitive surge current the device can safely clamp at rated VC |
| Leakage Current | ≤100µA at 75V - ensures minimal power loss and signal integrity in standby operation |
| Package | SMA - industry-standard surface-mount outline (4.00–4.60mm length) compatible with JEDEC MS-013 |
Pinout & Package

Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 75V auxiliary power rail in programmable logic controller (PLC) power distribution unit exposed to load dump and inductive switching transients. IC Role / Device Role: Shunt clamping TVS placed between rail and chassis ground to divert surge energy away from downstream DC-DC converters and microcontrollers. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤121V, preserving 100V-rated input capacitors and preventing latch-up in 3.3V/5V logic supervisors. |
Use Scenario: LIN bus line in BCM connected to door module, subject to ESD events and battery voltage spikes during jump-start. IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional TVS on LIN TX/RX line referenced to vehicle ground, absorbing ±30kV ESD and 12V–14V supply transients. Use Value: Maintains <100µA leakage at 12V nominal, ensuring LIN bus idle-state voltage stability while clamping to <121V during fault. |
| Telecom Base Station DC Feeds | Renewable Energy Inverter Control Board |
Use Scenario: -48V DC power feed to remote radio head (RRH) interface board, susceptible to induced surges from nearby lightning strikes. IC Role / Device Role: Primary surge protector on DC input stage, placed upstream of DC-DC isolation and monitoring circuitry. Use Value: Withstands 400W pulses without degradation, enabling compliance with ITU-T K.21 light industrial surge immunity requirements. |
Use Scenario: 75V intermediate bus in solar inverter control board powering gate drivers and isolated communication ICs. IC Role / Device Role: Secondary-level TVS on isolated 75V rail, guarding against coupling from high-dV/dt IGBT switching noise. Use Value: Fast <1ps response prevents voltage overshoot from propagating to sensitive analog sensing circuits and PWM controllers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ75A-E3/5A (Vishay) | Identical 75V VRWM, 121V VC @ 3.3A, but rated for 1.5W steady-state power vs. 1.0W for Diodes part | Higher PM(AV) supports longer-duration surge exposure in thermally constrained layouts | Select when board-level thermal management limits junction temperature rise under sustained bias |
| 1.5SMC75A (ON Semiconductor) | Same electrical specs but in larger SMC package (7.11 × 6.22 mm); 10% higher clamping voltage (125V) at same IPP | Larger footprint enables higher thermal mass but requires PCB redesign; less suitable for space-constrained modules | Choose only if existing SMC footprint is fixed and 4V clamping margin increase is acceptable |
Compared with SMAJ75A-E3/5A and 1.5SMC75A, the SMAJ75A-13-F offers optimal balance of compact SMA footprint, precise 121V clamping ceiling, and AEC-Q200-aligned manufacturing-making it preferred for new designs targeting high-density industrial and automotive control boards.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SMAJ75A-13-F?
The SMAJ75A-13-F has a junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C and a storage temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. Its steady-state power dissipation is rated at 1.0W at TL = +75°C, with linear derating to zero at +150°C lead temperature, as shown in Figure 6 of DS19005 Rev. 19-2.
Is SMAJ75A-13-F suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No - SMAJ75A-13-F is unidirectional, indicated by the absence of "C" in its part number. Bidirectional versions (e.g., SMAJ75CA-13-F) are available separately and feature symmetric clamping in both polarities, required for AC-coupled or differential signal lines like RS-485 or CAN.
How does the clamping voltage change with different peak pulse currents?
Clamping voltage increases with peak pulse current per the device's dynamic V-I characteristic. At 1.0A IPP, VC ≈ 95V; at 3.3A IPP, VC = 121V max. This relationship is nonlinear and defined in the datasheet's VC vs. IPP curve (Figure 3), not extrapolated beyond tested points.
Does SMAJ75A-13-F meet AEC-Q200 qualification?
The standard SMAJ75A-13-F is not AEC-Q200 qualified. Diodes offers the automotive-grade variant SMAJ75AQ-13-F, which undergoes additional stress testing and is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities - confirmed in the "Automotive-Compliant Part" note on page 1 of DS19005.
