Product details
Overview
SMBJ180AQ-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 600W automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode with 180V reverse standoff voltage, 291.6V max clamping voltage at 2.06A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification. It protects CAN, LIN, and power-line circuits in engine control units and body electronics against ISO7637-2 Pulse 1 (−150V), Pulse 3a (−220V), and ISO10605 ESD (±30kV).
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ180AQ-13-F datasheet, SMBJ180AQ-13-F pinout, SMBJ180AQ-13-F application, or SMBJ180AQ-13-F equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 compliance status, clamping performance under ISO7637 waveforms, SMB package thermal derating behavior, and direct alternatives for automotive surge protection design.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a shunt-clamping device triggered by overvoltage transients exceeding its 180V VRWM. Its 200–220V breakdown range (VBR @ IT = 1mA) ensures reliable turn-on before system damage, while 291.6V clamping at IPP = 2.06A limits downstream voltage stress during ISO7637-2 Pulse 3a events.
Designed for IATF 16949-certified production, it sustains 100A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3ms half-sine) and dissipates 5W steady-state power at TL = +75°C. Thermal derating begins above +25°C at 4.8W/°C, and operation spans −55°C to +175°C junction temperature.

Use Scenario: Protects 24V supply rail of diesel/gasoline ECUs from load dump and alternator transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt-clamping TVS placed between VBAT and chassis ground, activated within nanoseconds of overvoltage onset. Use Value: Clamps to ≤291.6V during ISO7637-2 Pulse 2a (+112V), preventing MOSFET gate oxide rupture and microcontroller brownout. |
Use Scenario: Safeguards high-speed CAN FD transceivers (e.g., TJA1044) against ESD and coupled noise on differential bus lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS on CAN_H/CAN_L lines referenced to ground, suppressing ±30kV ESD per ISO10605 without signal distortion. Use Value: Maintains <1pF typical junction capacitance to avoid CAN bit timing skew or signal integrity loss at 5Mbps. |
| Body Control Module (BCM) LIN Bus | ADAS Camera Power Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Shields LIN transceivers in door modules and lighting controllers from battery reversal and ignition noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamp on LIN bus line, grounded at module end, activated only during negative transients (Pulse 1, −150V). Use Value: Enables reliable LIN communication down to −15V common-mode range while blocking destructive −220V Pulse 3a events. |
Use Scenario: Guards 12V input of automotive camera modules (e.g., Sony IMX series) against hot-swap surges and cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary front-end TVS on camera power rail, coordinated with secondary ceramic capacitors for sub-100ns response. Use Value: Limits transient overshoot to <292V, preserving image sensor analog front-end and preventing pixel corruption or reset faults. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional automotive TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ180A-Q | Same electrical specs; differs only in packaging (bulk vs. tape-and-reel) and date-code marking format | No functional difference; suitable for manual prototyping or small-batch assembly where reel handling is unnecessary | Select when procurement requires non-reel delivery or legacy BOM alignment |
| SMCJ180A-Q | Same VRWM and clamping, but SMC package (higher thermal mass, 1500W PPK, 100A IFSM) | Better suited for high-energy transients (e.g., heavy-duty truck load dump) where SMB thermal limits may be exceeded | Choose when board space allows SMC footprint and system-level testing shows >600W surge exposure |
Compared with SMBJ180AQ-13-F, SMBJ180A-Q offers identical protection in bulk form but lacks automated placement support, while SMCJ180A-Q provides higher surge margin at the cost of larger PCB area and reduced mounting density-critical for compact ADAS camera modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ180AQ-13-F under ISO7637-2 Pulse 3a conditions?
The SMBJ180AQ-13-F clamps to 291.6V at 2.06A peak pulse current (10×1000μs waveform), which directly addresses ISO7637-2 Pulse 3a (−220V) by limiting voltage overshoot to <32% above the pulse amplitude. This value is measured per Figure 4 in DS40740 Rev. 15-2 and validated across −40°C to +125°C ambient.
Is SMBJ180AQ-13-F suitable for bidirectional signal lines like RS-485 or USB?
No - SMBJ180AQ-13-F is unidirectional and lacks symmetrical clamping for AC-coupled or differential buses. For bidirectional protection, Diodes' SMBJ180CQ-13-F (bi-directional variant) or dedicated dual-rail TVS arrays such as D28V0L4UP-13 are required to handle both positive and negative transients equally.
How does the 4.8W/°C derating affect usable power at 100°C ambient?
At TA = +100°C, derating reduces steady-state power dissipation from 5.0W (at TL = +75°C) to PM(AV) = 5.0W − (4.8W/°C × 75°C) = 0W - meaning no continuous DC power can be safely dissipated. The device remains fully functional for transient suppression, but sustained leakage or bias current must be minimized to avoid thermal runaway.
Does SMBJ180AQ-13-F require external heat sinking in standard automotive PCB layouts?
No external heatsink is needed for transient-only operation. Its SMB package achieves 5W steady-state dissipation at TL = +75°C using standard 1oz copper pads (≥25mm² per terminal). Layout guidance in DS40740 specifies minimum pad dimensions (X = 2.50mm, X1 = 6.80mm) and recommends thermal vias to inner ground planes for high-reliability under-hood deployments.
