Product details
Overview
SMBJ45AQ-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 600W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for automotive power-line surge protection. It features a 45V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 50.0V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 72.7V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 8.3A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood applications including engine control units and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ45AQ-13-F datasheet, SMBJ45AQ-13-F pinout, SMBJ45AQ-13-F application, or SMBJ45AQ-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include ISO7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/3a/3b compliance, 100A non-repetitive surge capability, unidirectional polarity marking, and SMB package thermal performance in high-temperature automotive environments.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, activating when transient voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold to divert surge energy to ground. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction only during negative transients, making it suitable for DC-biased lines like 12V/24V battery rails.
It meets stringent automotive immunity requirements: ISO10605 ESD (±30kV air/contact), ISO7637-2 Pulse 1 (−150V), Pulse 2a (+112V), Pulse 3a (−220V), and Pulse 3b (+150V). Thermal derating follows a linear 4.8W/°C slope above +25°C ambient, with PM(AV) = 5.0W at TL = +75°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600W - Sustains single 10×1000μs transients without failure under defined test conditions |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 45V - Maximum continuous DC operating voltage before clamping begins |
| Clamping Voltage | 72.7V @ 8.3A - Limits downstream voltage to safe level during ISO7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/3a/3b events |
| Breakdown Voltage | 50.0–55.3V @ 1mA - Confirmed VBR range ensures reliable turn-on margin above VRWM |
| Peak Forward Surge Current | 100A @ 8.3ms half-sine - Withstands alternator load dump surges per ISO7637-2 Pulse 5a/b |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +175°C - Validated junction temperature range for under-hood placement |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - Certified for automotive use with PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (marked band) | Transient current sink | Connected to ground or low-impedance return path; conducts during overvoltage events |
| Anode | Protected line input | Connected to 45V-rated supply rail (e.g., automotive 12V/24V system); blocks reverse leakage ≤0.5µA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive-grade surge suppression | 600W peak pulse power validated per ISO7637-2 and ISO10605, enabling direct integration into ECU power inputs |
| Controlled clamping response | 72.7V VC at 8.3A ensures protected ICs (e.g., CAN transceivers, microcontrollers) remain below absolute maximum ratings |
| High-temperature reliability | Rated for TJ = −55°C to +175°C with linear derating, supporting placement near engines or power converters |
| Green manufacturing compliance | Halogen- and antimony-free (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb), RoHS 3 compliant, and lead-free per MIL-STD-202 |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Input | Body Control Module (BCM) LIN Bus Line |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects 12V supply rail of gasoline/diesel engine ECUs against load dump and alternator transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between battery feed and LDO/regulator input to clamp ISO7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) surges. Use Value: Prevents regulator latch-up or destruction by limiting transient voltage to ≤72.7V during 100A 8.3ms surges. |
Use Scenario: Shields LIN transceiver data lines from ESD and coupled noise in door modules and seat controls. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping not applicable here; SMBJ45AQ-13-F used on LIN master VBAT supply, not signal line. Use Value: Maintains LIN bus availability during ±30kV ESD events by preventing upstream power rail collapse. |
| Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Camera Power | Electric Power Steering (EPS) Motor Driver Supply |
Use Scenario: Secures 12V input to image sensor SoCs in front/rear-view cameras exposed to vehicle-level surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on camera module power entry point, upstream of DC-DC converter. Use Value: Enables uninterrupted video capture during ISO7637-2 Pulse 3b (+150V) transients induced by ignition switching. |
Use Scenario: Guards H-bridge gate driver IC supply against back-EMF spikes during EPS motor commutation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response TVS on 12V logic supply rail feeding motor control ASICs and MOSFET drivers. Use Value: Avoids false fault triggering or reset events by holding supply voltage within 5V tolerance during 220V negative pulses. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional automotive TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ45A-Q | Same electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (no "-13-F" suffix) | No functional difference; identical use in production PCB assembly | Select when standard reel packaging suffices and no special carrier requirements exist |
| SMCJ45A-Q | Higher 1500W peak power rating, larger SMC package (7.11 × 6.22 mm vs. SMB's 3.94 × 5.59 mm), same VRWM/VC | Better suited for higher-energy transients but requires 2.5× more board area and has higher thermal mass | Choose only if system-level testing shows 600W insufficient; otherwise SMBJ45AQ-13-F optimizes space and cost |
Compared with SMBJ45A-Q, this part offers identical protection performance with optimized logistics handling; versus SMCJ45A-Q, it delivers proven 600W capability in a 40% smaller footprint-critical for space-constrained ADAS and EPS modules.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMBJ45AQ-13-F?
SMBJ45AQ-13-F is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the absence of "C" in its part number and presence of a cathode band marking. It conducts only during reverse-biased overvoltage events-ideal for protecting positive-rail DC systems like automotive 12V/24V supplies.
Does SMBJ45AQ-13-F meet ISO7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) requirements?
Yes-it withstands 100A peak forward surge current at 8.3ms half-sine waveform, satisfying ISO7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) up to 120V for 400ms. Its 72.7V clamping voltage ensures downstream regulators remain within safe operating limits during such events.
Can SMBJ45AQ-13-F be used on signal lines like CAN or LIN?
No-this unidirectional 45V VRWM device is intended for power rail protection only. Signal-line protection requires lower capacitance (<100pF), lower clamping voltage, and often bidirectional configurations; use Diodes' SP1003 or D3V3F4U series instead for CAN/LIN interfaces.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SMBJ45AQ-13-F?
The datasheet does not specify RθJA directly, but steady-state power dissipation is rated at 5.0W at TL = +75°C. Using the SMB package's typical thermal characteristics and layout guidelines (e.g., 25mm² copper pad), RθJA is approximately 50°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions.
