Product details
Overview
SMBJ11AQ-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 600W surface-mount automotive transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode with 11.0V reverse standoff voltage, 12.2–13.5V breakdown voltage at 1.0mA, and 18.2V max clamping voltage at 33.0A peak pulse current. It protects CAN, LIN, and sensor interfaces in 12V automotive power domains against ISO7637-2 Pulse 1 (−150V), Pulse 2a (+112V), and ISO10605 ESD (±30kV).
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ11AQ-13-F datasheet, SMBJ11AQ-13-F pinout, SMBJ11AQ-13-F application, or SMBJ11AQ-13-F equivalent, this part is selected for AEC-Q101-compliant surge protection where precise clamping voltage, low leakage (<0.5µA @ 11V), and IATF 16949-manufactured traceability are required in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, conducting only during negative transients exceeding its breakdown threshold. Its 18.2V clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during ISO7637-2 Pulse 1 (−150V) and Pulse 3a (−220V) events while maintaining <0.5µA reverse leakage at VRWM = 11.0V.
Designed for automotive 12V systems, it features a 600W non-repetitive peak pulse power rating per 10×1000µs waveform, thermal derating to 4.8W/°C above +25°C ambient, and operation across −55°C to +175°C junction temperature-enabling placement near high-temperature ECUs without performance loss.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 11.0 V - Maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage before significant conduction begins; sets operating margin above 12V nominal battery rail. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 12.2–13.5 V @ 1.0 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures reliable triggering before downstream IC damage thresholds. |
| Max Clamping Voltage (VC) | 18.2 V @ 33.0 A - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10×1000µs surge; stays below 20V logic supply tolerance. |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPK) | 600 W - Sustains single 10×1000µs transients per ISO7637-2 without failure; enables robust front-end protection in infotainment head units. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <0.5 µA @ 11.0 V - Negligible standby current draw; avoids battery drain in always-on vehicle networks (e.g., CAN wake-up lines). |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +175°C - Validated for under-hood placement in transmission control modules and engine management systems. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - Certified for automotive use with PPAP capability and full IATF 16949 manufacturing traceability. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, molded plastic body with UL 94V-0 flammability rating; moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020; 0.1g weight; matte tin-plated terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry during reverse-biased surge | Connected to protected line (e.g., CAN_H); conducts when transient exceeds VRWM. |
| Cathode | Current exit during reverse-biased surge | Connected to ground plane; provides low-impedance path to shunt surge energy away from ICs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600W peak pulse power | Handles ISO7637-2 Pulse 1 (−150V) and Pulse 3a (−220V) without degradation in 12V automotive systems. |

| RoHS 3 & Halogen-free | Complies with EU Directive 2015/863/EU; <900ppm Br, <900ppm Cl, <1000ppm Sb - meets Tier 1 supplier environmental requirements. |
| Low 0.5µA leakage @ 11V | Prevents measurable current draw on always-active CAN/LIN bus lines, preserving battery life in parked vehicle states. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Body Control Module (BCM) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects microcontroller CAN transceivers and sensor inputs from alternator load dump and ignition coil switching noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed directly at connector entry point to clamp negative transients before reaching PHY layer. Use Value: Limits clamped voltage to 18.2V, staying 1.8V below typical 20V MCU I/O absolute max rating and enabling direct interface without series resistors. |

| Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) | Infotainment Head Unit |
Use Scenario: Safeguards camera sensor power rails and MIPI CSI-2 signal lines against hot-swap surges and cable coupling transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance unidirectional TVS on 12V camera input and differential video lines to avoid signal integrity impact. Use Value: 18.2V clamping prevents latch-up in image sensor power management ICs during ISO7637-2 Pulse 2a (+112V) events. |
Use Scenario: Guards USB-C and HDMI port power and data lines against ESD and conducted surges from vehicle docking stations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end TVS on 5V/12V auxiliary power inputs and high-speed serial buses to meet OEM EMC test plans. Use Value: 600W rating sustains multiple 10×1000µs pulses during EMC immunity testing without parameter shift or failure. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional automotive TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ11A-13-F | No AEC-Q101 qualification; standard industrial grade; same electrical specs and SMB package. | Not approved for automotive production; suitable for prototyping or non-safety-critical aftermarket modules. | Select only if AEC-Q101 compliance and PPAP support are not required. |
| SMCJ11A-Q | Larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; 1500W PPK rating; identical VRWM/VBR/VC but higher surge capacity. | Used where board space allows larger footprint and higher surge immunity (e.g., main battery feed protection) is needed. | Choose when 1500W rating is mandatory and SMB footprint constraint does not apply. |
Compared with SMBJ11A-13-F, SMBJ11AQ-13-F adds AEC-Q101 validation and IATF 16949 traceability-critical for Tier 1 production-while SMCJ11A-Q trades compact SMB size for 2.5× higher surge power in a less space-constrained layout.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMBJ11AQ-13-F?
SMBJ11AQ-13-F is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode band marking on the package. It conducts only during reverse-biased transients-i.e., when the anode is driven negative relative to cathode-and blocks forward current like a standard rectifier diode. This configuration is used for protecting positive-rail circuits such as 12V CAN or LIN lines.
Does SMBJ11AQ-13-F require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes-its peak pulse power must be derated linearly above +25°C at 4.8W/°C, and steady-state power dissipation drops from 5.0W at TL = +75°C. At +100°C ambient, peak pulse capability falls to ~240W, and designers must verify clamping performance remains within protected IC limits using the derating curve in Figure 6 of DS40740 Rev. 15-2.
How does SMBJ11AQ-13-F differ from bi-directional SMBJ11CAQ-13-F?
SMBJ11AQ-13-F clamps only negative transients (anode-to-cathode), while SMBJ11CAQ-13-F clamps both polarities symmetrically. The unidirectional version offers lower capacitance and tighter leakage (<0.5µA vs. 1.0µA for bi-directional at 11V), making it preferred for DC-biased signal lines like CAN_H/CAN_L where only one polarity of surge dominates.
Is SMBJ11AQ-13-F compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes-it uses matte tin-plated terminals rated for Pb-free soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak reflow temperature up to 260°C. Its moisture sensitivity level is 1, eliminating bake requirements prior to assembly. The UL 94V-0 mold compound withstands standard IPC/JEDEC reflow cycles without delamination or cracking.
