Product details
Overview
SMBJ70A-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 600W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode with 70V reverse standoff voltage, 77.8V minimum breakdown voltage at 1mA test current, and 113V maximum clamping voltage at 5.3A peak pulse current. It features glass-passivated die construction, SMB package, and is designed for overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines of industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ70A-13-F datasheet, SMBJ70A-13-F pinout, SMBJ70A-13-F application, or SMBJ70A-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC VMAX, peak pulse current capability under 8.3ms half-sine surge, thermal derating above +25°C, and RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish for lead-free reflow compatibility.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: it remains high-impedance below 70V VRWM, then avalanches sharply at ≥77.8V VBR to divert transient energy away from downstream circuitry. Its 600W peak pulse power rating is validated per 8.3ms single half-sine waveform with ≤4 pulses/minute duty cycle.
Thermal performance is defined by 4.8W/°C derating above +25°C ambient and 5.0W steady-state dissipation at TL = +75°C. The device exhibits <5.0μA reverse leakage at VRWM and is rated for operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600W - sustains 5.3A @ 113V clamp for 8.3ms surge without failure |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 70V - maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage before significant leakage |
| Breakdown Voltage | 77.8–89.5V @ 1mA - precise avalanche onset ensures predictable clamping threshold |
| Clamping Voltage | 113V @ 5.3A IPP - limits voltage seen by protected IC during ESD/EFT events |
| Package | SMB - standardized surface-mount outline (5.0–5.59mm length, 3.3–3.94mm width) for automated assembly |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +150°C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| RoHS Compliance | Lead-free, halogen-free, antimony-free - meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and green manufacturing requirements |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (Surface Mount Body), molded plastic case per UL 94V-0, 0.1g typical weight, matte tin-plated terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode Band (Marked End) | Anode Reference / Ground Return Path | Identifies cathode terminal; connects to system ground or low-impedance return when protecting positive rail |
| Opposite Terminal | Protected Line Input | Connects to line being safeguarded (e.g., +12V supply); conducts surge current to ground during overvoltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated die | Enhances reliability and stability of breakdown voltage across temperature and lifetime |
| 600W peak pulse rating | Handles IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4kV line-to-line, 2Ω source impedance) |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during fast transients, improving margin for 75V-rated components |
| Uni-directional configuration | Optimized for DC power rail protection where polarity is fixed and reverse conduction must be blocked |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates bake requirement prior to reflow; compatible with standard SMT assembly flow |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Automotive Body Control Units |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 24V sensor input channels against load dump and inductive switching transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt TVS placed between input pin and chassis ground to clamp surges before they reach analog front-end or microcontroller GPIO.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ70AHE3/52 (Vishay) | Same 70V VRWM, 113V VC @ 5.3A, but AEC-Q200 qualified and offered in tape-and-reel only | Required for automotive production; lacks Diodes Inc.'s commercial-grade moisture sensitivity Level 1 | Select for automotive OEM programs requiring AEC-Q200; otherwise prefer SMBJ70A-13-F for industrial cost and assembly flexibility |
| P6SMB70A (ON Semiconductor) | Identical electrical specs (70V VRWM, 113V VC), but slightly larger SMB package footprint (5.29 × 3.94 mm vs. 5.59 × 3.94 mm) and higher IR (10μA max) | Compatible in most PCB layouts; higher leakage may affect ultra-low-power sensor nodes | Acceptable drop-in for legacy designs using P6SMB series; verify pad layout clearance and leakage budget |
Compared with SMBJ70AHE3/52 and P6SMB70A, the SMBJ70A-13-F offers optimal balance of commercial qualification, Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and tight 5.0μA IR spec-making it preferred for industrial automation and medical equipment where reflow simplicity and low standby leakage are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ70A-13-F at its rated peak pulse current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) is 113V at 5.3A peak pulse current (IPP), measured under the standard 8.3ms half-sine waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a surge event and is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ70A-13-F suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No - SMBJ70A-13-F is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the absence of "C" suffix. It conducts only during positive overvoltage relative to its cathode. For bidirectional protection (e.g., RS-485, USB D+/D−), the bi-directional variant SMBJ70CA-13-F must be used instead.
Does SMBJ70A-13-F require pre-baking before reflow soldering?
No - it is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH and placed directly into reflow without baking. This eliminates process steps and reduces risk of moisture-induced popcorning during lead-free soldering.
How does the 600W peak pulse rating translate to real-world surge immunity?
The 600W rating corresponds to a 5.3A surge at 113V clamp for 8.3ms, matching IEC 61000-4-5's Combination Wave (1.2/50μs voltage, 8/20μs current). In practice, this enables protection against Level 4 surges (4kV line-to-line) when paired with appropriate series impedance, such as a 2Ω source impedance.
