Product details
Overview
SMAJ75H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 75 V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 83.3–102 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 134 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 3.0 A peak impulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive-grade SMPS, on-board DC/DC converters, and lighting control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ75H datasheet, SMAJ75H pinout, SMAJ75H application, or SMAJ75H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b transients, AEC-Q101 qualification status, DO-214AC (SMA) package compatibility with automated placement, and unidirectional polarity marking for correct PCB orientation.
Technical Context
The SMAJ75H operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, leveraging glass-passivated junction technology to achieve sub-1 ps response time from 0 V to VBR(min). Its clamping behavior is defined by a single-die DO-214AC structure with cathode band polarity marking and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability.
It delivers 134 V clamping at 3.0 A (10/1000 µs), with <1 µA reverse leakage at 75 V and a maximum junction temperature of +150 °C. The device meets moisture sensitivity level 1 (J-STD-020) and supports automotive ESD immunity per ISO 7637-2 without external biasing or control circuitry.

Applications
| Automotive Power Distribution | Industrial DC/DC Converters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of 12 V/24 V battery-fed ECUs against load dump and alternator transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamp placed between battery rail and input stage of power management IC. Use Value: Limits voltage to ≤134 V during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump), preventing latch-up or gate oxide rupture in downstream regulators. |
Use Scenario: Input-side surge suppression in isolated 48 V-to-12 V buck-boost converters for factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage guard on high-side input rail prior to primary MOSFET and controller. Use Value: Absorbs 400 W transient energy without degradation, maintaining converter uptime during field-induced surges. |
| LED Driver Modules | Telecom Power Interfaces |
Use Scenario: Transient protection for constant-current LED drivers in streetlight systems exposed to lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS across driver input terminals to clamp induced line-to-ground spikes. Use Value: Clamps to 134 V within <1 ps, preventing premature LED string failure and driver IC damage during outdoor surge events. |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side protection on 48 V telecom power feeds entering base station control boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS on -48 V return path to suppress common-mode noise and fast-rising EFT bursts. Use Value: Maintains <1 µA leakage at 75 V, avoiding false triggering while delivering 134 V clamping for EN 61000-4-4 compliance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ75A | Bi-directional configuration; symmetric VBR (83.3–92.1 V); same DO-214AC package and 134 V clamping | Required where bidirectional surge protection (e.g., AC-coupled data lines or floating rails) is needed | Select SMAJ75A only if polarity-agnostic clamping is required; SMAJ75H is preferred for DC rail protection with defined ground reference |
| Vishay SMAJ75 | Unidirectional; identical VWM/VBR/VC specs but rated for 300 W above 78 V (vs. 400 W for Taiwan Semi) | Acceptable for lower-energy transients; not recommended for full ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a compliance at full severity | Verify pulse derating curves - Vishay SMAJ75 may require parallel devices or higher VWM grade for equivalent 400 W capability |
Compared with Littelfuse SMAJ75A and Vishay SMAJ75, the SMAJ75H provides guaranteed 400 W peak pulse power at 75 V standoff, AEC-Q101 qualification out-of-box, and tighter VBR tolerance (83.3–102 V vs. 83.3–92.1 V), making it optimal for automotive and industrial DC power rail protection where unidirectional clamping and full-spec surge margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMAJ75H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMAJ75H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 134 V when subjected to its rated peak impulse current of 3.0 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 5 in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version A2102) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events.
Is SMAJ75H AEC-Q101 qualified and what tests does that cover?
Yes, SMAJ75H is AEC-Q101 qualified. This certification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, highly accelerated stress test (HAST), and electrostatic discharge (ESD) per human-body model (HBM) and machine model (MM), confirming suitability for automotive electronic control units and power modules.
Does SMAJ75H support bidirectional transient suppression?
No, SMAJ75H is a unidirectional TVS diode. Its cathode band marking indicates polarity-sensitive operation - it clamps only when the cathode is at higher potential than the anode. For bidirectional protection, the SMAJ75AH variant (marked RR) or Littelfuse SMAJ75A should be selected instead.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation rating for SMAJ75H?
The SMAJ75H has a steady-state power dissipation (PD) rating of 1 W at TA = 25 °C. This value applies to continuous DC or low-frequency AC conditions and is distinct from its 400 W peak pulse power rating, which is valid only for non-repetitive 10/1000 µs transients.
How does SMAJ75H meet ISO 7637-2 compliance?
SMAJ75H meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (inductive load dump), Pulse 2a/2b (switching transients), and Pulse 3a/3b (capacitive coupling) requirements due to its 134 V clamping voltage, sub-1 ps response time, and 400 W peak pulse power handling - verified through standardized surge generator testing per the specification's waveform definitions.
