Product details
Overview
SMBJ30AQ-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 600W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for automotive circuit protection. It features a 30V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 48.4V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 12.4A peak pulse current (IPP), and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood and powertrain applications.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ30AQ-13-F datasheet, SMBJ30AQ-13-F pinout, SMBJ30AQ-13-F application, or SMBJ30AQ-13-F equivalent, this part supports ISO7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/3a/3b surge immunity and ISO10605 ESD protection in automotive ECUs, body control modules, and infotainment power rails.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-anode polarity, activated only during negative transients relative to its anode reference. Its 33.3V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR) ensures reliable triggering before downstream IC damage, while the 1.0mA test current (IT) reflects standard IEC 61000-4-5 compliance test conditions.
The device uses silicon avalanche junction technology housed in an SMB package with 0.1g mass and UL 94V-0 molded plastic body. Thermal derating begins above +25°C at 4.8W/°C, and it maintains full functionality across –55°C to +175°C operating temperature range per AEC-Q101 stress testing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ30A-13-F | Non-AEC-Q101 rated; same electrical specs but not automotive qualified | Limited to industrial or consumer applications without automotive reliability requirements | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs AEC-Q101 compliance needs |
| SMCJ30A-13-F | Higher 1500W peak power rating; larger SMC package (7.11 × 6.22 mm) | Better suited for high-energy pulses where PCB space allows larger footprint | Choose when surge energy exceeds 600W capability or thermal dissipation requires larger package |
Compared with SMBJ30A-13-F, SMBJ30AQ-13-F adds AEC-Q101 validation and IATF 16949 traceability; compared with SMCJ30A-13-F, it trades 900W lower peak power for 40% smaller PCB area and identical clamping performance at 12.4A.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMBJ30AQ-13-F?
SMBJ30AQ-13-F is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode band marking indicating the cathode terminal. It conducts only during reverse-biased transients - i.e., when the cathode is driven more negative than the anode - making it suitable for protecting positive-rail circuits referenced to ground.
Does SMBJ30AQ-13-F meet ISO7637-2 Pulse 3b requirements?
Yes - SMBJ30AQ-13-F clamps to 48.4V at 12.4A, well below the +150V amplitude of ISO7637-2 Pulse 3b. Its 600W rating and fast response time ensure effective suppression of this 150V/100ns transient without degradation when applied within specified duty cycle limits.
How does SMBJ30AQ-13-F differ from SMBJ30CAQ-13-F?
SMBJ30AQ-13-F is unidirectional (no "C" suffix), while SMBJ30CAQ-13-F is bidirectional. The latter has symmetric clamping for AC-coupled lines like CAN or Ethernet, whereas SMBJ30AQ-13-F provides asymmetric protection ideal for DC power rails and single-ended signal lines referenced to ground.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation at 75°C lead temperature?
At TL = +75°C, SMBJ30AQ-13-F delivers 5.0W steady-state power dissipation (PM(AV)). This value is derated linearly above +25°C ambient at 4.8W/°C, meaning its usable continuous power drops to ~3.6W at +55°C ambient with proper PCB copper pour thermal management.
