Product details
Overview
SMAJ75CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a bidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for high-energy surge protection in DC power lines and signal interfaces. It features a 75 V reverse standoff voltage (VWM), 134 A peak pulse current (IPP) at 10/1000 µs, 125 V maximum clamping voltage (VC), and 500 W peak pulse power dissipation - enabling robust IEC61000-4-5 secondary lightning and IEC61000-4-2 ESD protection in industrial power supplies and telecom interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ75CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ75CE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ75CE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ75CE3/TR13 equivalent, this device is evaluated for bidirectional surge suppression in 24–48 V DC systems, PCB-level EFT hardening per IEC61000-4-4, and RoHS-compliant board-level protection where low standby leakage (<1 µA @ VWM) and fast response (<5 ns) are required.
Technical Context
The SMAJ75CE3/TR13 implements a silicon avalanche diode structure optimized for bidirectional clamping, with symmetrical breakdown behavior in both polarities. Its VBR min of 83.3 V @ IBR = 1 mA ensures precise voltage thresholding, while thermal resistance of 15 °C/W (junction-to-lead) supports reliable power derating up to 150 °C operating temperature.
Designed for DO-214AC (SMA) package mounting on FR4 with 1 oz Cu, it delivers 5 W steady-state power dissipation at TL = 75 °C and maintains <1 µA standby current at rated 75 V standoff - critical for low-power monitoring circuits and always-on interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC bus voltage margin. |
| VBR min | 83.3 V @ 1 mA - Minimum breakdown voltage ensures predictable turn-on under surge conditions. |
| VC @ IPP | 125 V @ 134 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines protected circuit's maximum stress level. |
| PPP | 500 W - Peak pulse power handling capability at 25 °C; validates compliance with IEC61000-4-5 Class 3 (42 Ω source). |
| IPP | 134 A - Peak surge current capacity at 10/1000 µs waveform; sets minimum surge withstand rating for 48 V systems. |
| ID @ VWM | <1 µA - Ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss and no interference with high-impedance sensing nodes. |
| tclamp | <5 ns - Bidirectional response time guarantees sub-nanosecond effective clamping for fast transients like EFT bursts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AC (SMA), surface-mount, bidirectional configuration with no polarity marking; void-free thermosetting epoxy body (UL94V-0), matte-tin RoHS-compliant plating, 0.064 g weight.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode / Cathode (symmetrical) | Bidirectional surge path | Both terminals function identically as clamping nodes; no cathode band marking; enables placement without orientation check. |
| Case / Body | Thermal conduction path | Leads serve as primary heat sink; 15 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance requires adequate copper pour for sustained 5 W operation. |

Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Telecom DC Feeder Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 48 V DC input stage of programmable logic controller (PLC) power module exposed to load dump and inductive switching transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary bidirectional clamping element placed directly at connector entry point to limit surge energy before upstream regulators. Use Value: Withstands 134 A surges while clamping to 125 V, preventing damage to 60 V-rated DC-DC controllers and maintaining system uptime per IEC61000-4-5 Class 3. | Use Scenario: -48 V DC feeding line in central office equipment subject to lightning-induced surges on long cable runs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end TVS on power feed interface, coordinated with gas discharge tube (GDT) for staged protection. Use Value: 500 W peak power rating and 125 V clamping enable coordination with GDT let-through voltage, ensuring downstream DC/DC converters see <150 V stress during 10/1000 µs events. |
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | RS-485 Data Line Protection |
Use Scenario: 24 V supply rail in BCM exposed to ISO 7637-2 pulse 1, 2a, and 5a transients during vehicle operation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary overvoltage clamp after primary LC filter, protecting microcontroller power pins and CAN transceivers. Use Value: 75 V VWM provides 3× margin above nominal 24 V, while <1 µA leakage avoids battery drain in sleep mode. | Use Scenario: Bi-directional RS-485 transceiver (e.g., MAX1487) in factory automation node connected to noisy field wiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-mode surge suppressor across A/B differential pair, referenced to local ground plane. Use Value: Symmetrical clamping ensures equal protection for positive and negative ESD events (±15 kV contact per IEC61000-4-2), preserving signal integrity without polarity bias. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ75CA-E3/5B (Vishay) | Identical DO-214AC package, same 75 V VWM, 134 A IPP, and 125 V VC; minor VBR tolerance (83.3–92.2 V vs. 83.3–94.4 V). | No functional difference in IEC61000-4-5 Class 3 or ESD protection; identical thermal specs and moisture sensitivity. | Select for multi-source procurement where Vishay qualification is mandated; same footprint and electrical performance. |
| 1.5SMC75CA (ON Semiconductor) | Higher 1.5 kW rating but larger DO-214AB (SMC) package; 125 V VC at 134 A, but 75 V VWM and bidirectional construction retained. | Requires PCB layout change due to larger body (7.11 × 6.22 mm vs. 4.57 × 2.79 mm); suited for higher-energy environments where space allows. | Choose when surge energy exceeds 500 W limits or when legacy SMC footprint is standardized; not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with SMAJ75CE3/TR13, the Vishay SMAJ75CA-E3/5B offers identical electrical and mechanical specs for seamless second sourcing, while the ON Semiconductor 1.5SMC75CA delivers higher pulse power at the cost of larger board area and non-interchangeable packaging.

FAQ
What does the "C" and "E3" suffix mean in SMAJ75CE3/TR13?
The "C" denotes bidirectional configuration, meaning the SMAJ75CE3/TR13 clamps symmetrically for both positive and negative transients without polarity dependence. The "E3" indicates RoHS compliance with annealed matte-tin plating, verified per JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity - eliminating dry-pack requirements and supporting lead-free reflow.
Is SMAJ75CE3/TR13 suitable for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 lightning protection?
No - SMAJ75CE3/TR13 is rated for IEC61000-4-5 Class 3 (42 Ω source) and Class 2 (12 Ω source) secondary lightning protection only. Its 134 A IPP and 125 V VC meet Class 3 requirements (1 kV open-circuit, 42 Ω source), but Class 4 (4 kV, 12 Ω) demands higher current handling beyond its 500 W rating.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum power dissipation of SMAJ75CE3/TR13?
SMAJ75CE3/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 15 °C/W and delivers 5 W steady-state power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) = 75 °C. At ambient temperature (TA) = 25 °C on FR4 with recommended footprint, it sustains 1.56 W - values confirmed in Microsemi MSC0270A Rev L datasheet Figure 3 derating curve.
Does SMAJ75CE3/TR13 have polarity markings on the package?
No - SMAJ75CE3/TR13 is a bidirectional TVS and carries no cathode band or polarity marking, as both terminals perform identically. This eliminates orientation errors during automated placement and simplifies layout for AC-coupled or floating DC interfaces where polarity is undefined.
What is the clamping voltage of SMAJ75CE3/TR13 under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of SMAJ75CE3/TR13 is 125 V when subjected to its rated 134 A peak pulse current (IPP) under the standard 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform - a value measured and guaranteed per Microsemi MSC0270A Rev L datasheet Table on Page 3.
