Product details
Overview
SMBJ45CAQ-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a bi-directional 45V standoff, 600W peak pulse power automotive transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB package, with clamping voltage of 72.7V at 8.3A peak pulse current, AEC-Q101 qualified, and compliant with ISO10605 (±30kV ESD) and ISO7637-2 (Pulse 1/2a/3a/3b) for engine control unit power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ45CAQ-13-F datasheet, SMBJ45CAQ-13-F pinout, SMBJ45CAQ-13-F application, or SMBJ45CAQ-13-F equivalent, this part supports high-reliability automotive surge suppression where precise clamping voltage, low leakage (<0.5µA), and IATF 16949-manufactured traceability are required.
Technical Context
This bi-directional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, enabling bidirectional surge clamping on differential or floating automotive signal/power lines without polarity dependency. Its 45V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM) ensures stable blocking during nominal 12V/24V system operation while allowing fast response to transients exceeding ±72.7V.
The device uses silicon avalanche junction technology with 10×1000µs waveform-rated clamping, delivering 600W non-repetitive peak pulse power at TA = +25°C and derating linearly to zero at +175°C ambient. It features 0.5µA max reverse leakage at VRWM and 5W steady-state power dissipation at TL = +75°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600W - sustains single 10×1000µs surges up to ISO7637-2 Pulse 3b (+150V) without failure |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 45V - blocks normal 12V/24V automotive battery fluctuations while triggering above system overvoltage thresholds |
| Clamping Voltage | 72.7V @ IPP = 8.3A - limits downstream IC voltage to safe level during 10×1000µs transient events |
| Breakdown Voltage | 50.0–55.3V @ IT = 1mA - defines sharp, repeatable avalanche onset for predictable protection timing |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤0.5µA @ VRWM - minimizes standby power loss and avoids false triggering in low-current sensor circuits |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +175°C - supports under-hood placement in engine management, transmission control, and ADAS modules |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD stress per AEC standard |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, molded plastic body with UL 94V-0 flammability rating, 0.1g weight, matte tin-plated terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point (bi-directional) | Functions as cathode during negative transients; no polarity marking - symmetrical conduction |
| Cathode | Current exit point (bi-directional) | Functions as anode during positive transients; terminal pair provides identical clamping in both directions |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bi-directional clamping architecture | Enables single-device protection of floating or AC-coupled lines (e.g., CAN FD bus, LIN, sensor bridges) without external polarity logic |
| ISO10605 ±30kV ESD compliance | Validated for air and contact discharge - eliminates need for secondary ESD components in infotainment and body control modules |
| IATF 16949 manufacturing & PPAP capability | Ensures full production traceability, change control, and audit-ready documentation for Tier 1 automotive supply chain integration |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" construction | Meets EU RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) with Br+Cl <1500ppm and Sb <1000ppm - supports OEM sustainability compliance reporting |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates bake requirements prior to reflow - reduces assembly cost and process complexity in high-volume SMT lines |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Input | CAN FD Transceiver Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: 12V battery feed to microcontroller power supply in gasoline/diesel engine ECUs exposed to load dump and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on main VBAT rail, responding within nanoseconds to ISO7637-2 Pulse 1 (−150V) and Pulse 2a (+112V). Use Value: Limits rail voltage to ≤72.7V, preventing damage to 5V/3.3V LDOs and MCU I/O cells while maintaining AEC-Q100 qualification integrity. |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional protection of CAN_H/CAN_L differential pair in ADAS domain controllers subjected to ESD and coupled transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Symmetric clamping element placed across differential lines, suppressing ±30kV ESD (ISO10605) and common-mode surges without disrupting signal integrity. Use Value: Maintains CAN FD bit rate up to 5 Mbps by limiting inter-line capacitance to <100pF and avoiding DC bias shift during clamping. |
| Body Control Module (BCM) LIN Bus | Electric Power Steering (EPS) Motor Driver |
|
Use Scenario: LIN physical layer protection in door module controllers where long harness runs induce ISO7637-2 Pulse 3a (−220V) and Pulse 3b (+150V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage (≤0.5µA) bi-directional clamp on LIN bus line, preserving sleep-mode current budget while enabling fast transient response. Use Value: Prevents false wake-up and bus lock-up by clamping transients before they exceed LIN transceiver absolute maximum ratings (typically ±40V). |
Use Scenario: Gate driver supply rail protection in EPS motor inverters exposed to inductive switching spikes and load dump events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary clamping device parallel to bulk capacitor on 12V gate drive rail, absorbing energy from MOSFET turn-off overshoot. Use Value: Extends gate driver IC lifetime by limiting VDD spikes to ≤72.7V, reducing cumulative dielectric stress on internal LDOs and level shifters. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bi-directional automotive TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ45CA-13-F (Diodes) | No AEC-Q101 qualification; RoHS-compliant but not PPAP-capable; same electrical specs | Acceptable for non-safety-critical consumer or industrial designs lacking automotive change control requirements | Select only if AEC-Q101 documentation, IATF 16949 traceability, or PPAP submission is not required |
| SAC45C (Littelfuse) | Same 45V VRWM, 72.7V VC, but rated for 600W @ 10×1000µs; AEC-Q101 qualified, different marking and tape/reel packaging | Drop-in compatible electrically; requires validation of mechanical fit and reflow profile due to minor SMB dimensional variance | Choose when dual-sourcing is mandated or when Littelfuse's global logistics network offers better lead time |
Compared with SMBJ45CAQ-13-F, the SMBJ45CA-13-F lacks automotive change control and PPAP support, while SAC45C matches qualification and performance but introduces sourcing and layout verification overhead.

FAQ
What is the difference between SMBJ45CAQ-13-F and SMBJ45A-13-F?
SMBJ45CAQ-13-F is the AEC-Q101-qualified, PPAP-capable, IATF 16949-manufactured version with full automotive change control and traceability. SMBJ45A-13-F is the commercial-grade variant lacking AEC qualification, PPAP documentation, and automotive-specific reliability testing - it shares identical electrical parameters but cannot be used in certified automotive designs.
Does SMBJ45CAQ-13-F require a heatsink for 5W continuous dissipation?
No. The 5W steady-state power rating (PM(AV)) applies at TL = +75°C lead temperature, not ambient. In typical SMB surface-mount applications with 2 oz copper and 2 cm² thermal pad, natural convection achieves sufficient heat transfer without added heatsinking - verified per JEDEC JESD51-2 thermal characterization.
Can SMBJ45CAQ-13-F protect against load dump per ISO16750-2?
Yes. With 600W peak pulse power and 72.7V clamping voltage, it meets ISO16750-2 Test 4a (load dump, 12V system, 35V/100ms) when used with appropriate series impedance (e.g., 1Ω inline resistor). Its 100A IFSM rating supports short-duration high-current surges typical of alternator regulation failure events.
Is the SMBJ45CAQ-13-F bi-directional clamping voltage symmetric?
Yes. As a bi-directional TVS, its clamping voltage is identical for positive and negative transients: 72.7V measured at ±8.3A using the standardized 10×1000µs waveform. This symmetry is confirmed in the datasheet's electrical characteristics table and validated per AEC-Q101 transient testing protocols.
