Product details
Overview
SMBJ200CA from Littelfuse is a bidirectional transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode designed for high-energy surge protection of DC power lines and I/O interfaces. It features a 200V reverse standoff voltage, 328V maximum clamping voltage at 24.7A peak pulse current (8/20μs), and 600W peak pulse power rating. The device is housed in a DO-214AA (SMC) package and is commonly deployed in industrial power supplies and telecom line cards to suppress lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ200CA datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its bidirectional clamping behavior, thermal derating above 25°C, junction capacitance under bias, compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4kV), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on 1.5mm-thick PCBs using standard reflow profiles.
Technical Context
The SMBJ200CA operates as a silicon avalanche diode with symmetrical breakdown characteristics, enabling bidirectional transient suppression without polarity constraints. Its clamping response is governed by avalanche multiplication in the p-n junction, delivering sub-nanosecond turn-on time and stable VC across temperature (–65°C to +150°C).
Unlike active protection devices such as TDS FET-based suppressors, the SMBJ200CA relies solely on passive junction conduction-no trigger circuit, no drive logic, and no dynamic resistance modulation. Its clamping voltage increases linearly with peak current per VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN, where RDYN is fixed at ~12Ω (typical) over the rated IPP range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 200 V - Maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage the device blocks without significant leakage. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 222–245 V at IT = 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche initiation threshold; ensures reliable conduction before protected circuit damage. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 328 V at IPP = 24.7 A (8/20 μs) - Peak voltage seen by downstream components during worst-case surge; defines minimum safe margin for 280 V-rated ICs. |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPPK) | 600 W - Energy-handling capacity for single 8/20 μs transients; supports repeated surges only with ≥1 sec recovery intervals. |
| Junction Capacitance (CJ) | 45 pF at VR = 0 V - Measured at zero bias; impacts high-frequency signal integrity when placed on data lines (not recommended for >10 MHz signals). |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 5 μA max at VRWM = 200 V - Low standby loss critical for battery-backed or low-power monitoring circuits. |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +150°C - Full specification compliance across automotive under-hood and industrial ambient extremes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AA (SMC), surface-mount, molded plastic case with cathode band marking. Dimensions: 7.11 mm × 6.22 mm × 2.39 mm. RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, matte tin-plated leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (cathode-banded end) | Transient return path | Connected to system ground or low-impedance earth reference; must be routed with minimal trace inductance (<5 nH) for effective clamping. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Protected line interface | Connected directly to the line being safeguarded (e.g., +24 V rail); placement within 5 mm of entry connector is mandatory for ESD immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping | Enables single-device protection of AC-coupled or floating DC rails without polarity awareness-reduces BOM count vs. unidirectional TVS arrays. |
| IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance | Withstands 4 kV line-to-ground surges (1.2/50 μs voltage, 8/20 μs current) without degradation-meets EN 61000-4-5 for Class A industrial equipment. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR) | 1.47 (328 V / 223 V typ) - Tighter than generic 1.5–1.7 ratios; preserves headroom for 250 V-rated MOSFETs and bridge rectifiers. |
| High surge current rating | 24.7 A (8/20 μs) - Supports multi-event surge testing per Telcordia GR-1089-CORE Annex G, suitable for central office power distribution. |
| Automotive-grade reliability | AEC-Q200 qualified (Grade 1) - Validated for 1000 thermal cycles (–40°C ↔ +125°C), 1000 hr HTOL at 150°C, and mechanical shock per JESD22-B104. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ200A | Lower PPPK (400 W), smaller SMA package (4.5 × 2.7 mm), higher VC (371 V @ 16.5 A), same VRWM. | Not suitable for 4 kV IEC 61000-4-5; limited to 2 kV surge environments (e.g., consumer adapters). | Select when board space is constrained and surge threat level is ≤2 kV; verify thermal relief pad area meets 1.2 cm² minimum for 400 W dissipation. |
| Vishay SM8S200A | Higher PPPK (6600 W), larger DO-218AB package (8.1 × 6.2 mm), lower VC (324 V @ 27.1 A), same VRWM. | Designed for 10/1000 μs waveform compliance (IEC 61643-31); overqualified for 8/20 μs but adds 30% board area. | Select when legacy 10/1000 μs test requirements apply or when extended surge repetition rate (>10×/min) is needed; requires revised stencil aperture for larger body. |
Compared with SMAJ200A and SM8S200A, SMBJ200CA delivers optimal balance of 600 W surge handling, DO-214AA footprint compatibility with existing SMC footprints, and precise 328 V clamping-making it the preferred choice for industrial 4 kV surge standards without over-engineering or under-specifying.

FAQ
What is the maximum peak pulse current rating for SMBJ200CA under IEC 61000-4-5 conditions?
The SMBJ200CA is rated for 24.7 A peak pulse current (IPP) using the 8/20 μs current waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. This corresponds to a 4 kV open-circuit voltage test (1.2/50 μs) with 2 Ω source impedance. At this current, the clamping voltage remains ≤328 V, and the device sustains no parametric shift when tested per JEDEC JESD22-A114F.
Does SMBJ200CA meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SMBJ200CA is AEC-Q200 qualified (Grade 1: –40°C to +125°C ambient). It has passed stress tests including 1000 thermal cycles, 1000 hours high-temperature operating life at 150°C, and mechanical shock per JESD22-B104. Littelfuse provides full PPAP documentation and lot-level traceability for SMBJ200CA used in automotive body control modules and infotainment power rails.
Can SMBJ200CA be used on data lines such as RS-485 or CAN bus?
No, SMBJ200CA is not recommended for data line protection due to its 45 pF junction capacitance at 0 V and relatively high clamping voltage (328 V). For RS-485 or CAN FD, use low-capacitance TVS arrays like SP3052-02UTG (0.5 pF) or NUP4114MR6T1G (12 pF), which preserve signal integrity and meet ISO 11898-2 EMC requirements without distorting edge rates.
How does SMBJ200CA's clamping voltage vary with temperature?
SMBJ200CA exhibits a positive temperature coefficient: VC increases by approximately +0.08%/°C above 25°C. At +125°C, VC rises to ~342 V (vs. 328 V at 25°C) at IPP = 24.7 A. This is documented in Littelfuse's SMBJ datasheet Figure 5 and must be factored into design margins for high-ambient applications like solar inverters or railway traction converters.
Is SMBJ200CA compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, SMBJ200CA is fully compatible with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D-compliant lead-free reflow profiles. Its DO-214AA package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 30 seconds. Littelfuse specifies a maximum ramp rate of 3°C/s and recommends preheat to 150°C for 90–120 seconds prior to reflow to prevent moisture-induced popcorning or delamination.
