Product details
Overview
SMBJ75 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection in DC power lines and signal paths. It features a 75 V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 83.3–102 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 134 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 4.7 A peak impulse current (IPP), and 600 W peak pulse power rating with sub-1 ps response time.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75 datasheet, SMBJ75 pinout, SMBJ75 application, or SMBJ75 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b, leakage current ≤1 µA at 75 V, thermal resistance (RθJA = 55 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on industrial and automotive PCBs.
Technical Context
The SMBJ75 operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its specified VBR range (83.3–102 V at 1 mA test current). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1 µA at VWM), while the DO-214AA package supports high surge current handling (4.7 A IPP) without thermal runaway under 10/1000 µs transients.
Designed for robust ESD and electrical fast transient (EFT) immunity per IEC 61000-4-2/4-4, it delivers consistent clamping at 134 V under full-rated surge, with junction temperature rated from –55 °C to +150 °C and moisture sensitivity level 1 - enabling use in reflow-soldered automotive and industrial control modules without baking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; defines safe DC bias margin. |
| VBR min/max | 83.3 / 102 V @ 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures reliable triggering above system overvoltage thresholds. |
| VC @ IPP | 134 V @ 4.7 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; limits downstream IC stress to safe levels. |
| PPK | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling per single transient; meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements. |
| ID @ VWM | <1 µA - Ultra-low leakage at rated stand-off; prevents battery drain or signal distortion in always-on circuits. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; supports operation in engine bay or enclosed industrial enclosures. |
| RθJA | 55 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to ambient; informs heatsinking needs for repeated surge events. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff protection device across 24 V DC inputs, absorbing repetitive EFT bursts per IEC 61000-4-4. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity and eliminates false triggering during factory floor electrical noise events. |
| LED Driver Overvoltage Clamp | DC-DC Converter Input Protection |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding constant-current LED drivers in street lighting against lightning-induced line surges.

Use Value: Reduces need for snubber networks and improves efficiency by eliminating parasitic ringing-induced losses. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75A (Taiwan Semiconductor) | Lower VBR range (83.3–92.1 V), lower VC (121 V @ 5.2 A), tighter breakdown tolerance. | Better suited for precision-clamp designs where lower clamping voltage is critical and higher IPP is acceptable. | Select SMBJ75A when system-level testing shows 121 V clamping improves downstream component margin. |
| SMBJ75CA (Littelfuse) | Bidirectional variant; symmetric VBR (83.3–102 V) in both polarities; same VC (134 V) and PPK (600 W). | Required for AC-coupled or floating signal lines where polarity reversal may occur (e.g., RS-485, Ethernet PHY). | Choose SMBJ75CA only if bidirectional protection is mandated by interface standard or signal swing range. |
Compared with SMBJ75, SMBJ75A offers lower clamping voltage at slightly higher surge current, improving protection margin for voltage-sensitive loads; SMBJ75CA enables AC-capable protection but requires layout verification for dual-polarity surge paths.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ75 under standard 10/1000 µs surge conditions?
The SMBJ75 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 134 V when subjected to its rated peak impulse current of 4.7 A using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25°C and guarantees that downstream components experience no more than 134 V during transient events, making SMBJ75 suitable for protecting 75 V-rated systems with appropriate safety margin.
Is SMBJ75 unidirectional or bidirectional, and how is polarity identified?
SMBJ75 is a unidirectional TVS diode, with polarity marked by a cathode band on the DO-214AA (SMB) package body. The banded end is the cathode and must be connected toward the protected line (e.g., VIN), while the anode connects to ground. Bidirectional variants require "C" or "CA" suffixes (e.g., SMBJ75C), which SMBJ75 does not carry.
Does SMBJ75 meet automotive surge immunity standards such as ISO 7637-2?
Yes, SMBJ75 meets ISO 7637-2 requirements for Pulse 1 (inductive load disconnect), Pulse 2a (sudden load removal), Pulse 2b (supply interruption), Pulse 3a (capacitive coupled transients), and Pulse 3b (battery connection bounce). Its 600 W peak power rating and verified clamping behavior under 10/1000 µs waveforms make it qualified for 12 V and 24 V automotive subsystems.
What is the leakage current specification for SMBJ75 at its working stand-off voltage?
At its working stand-off voltage (VWM) of 75 V and TA = 25°C, SMBJ75 exhibits a maximum blocking leakage current (ID) of 1 µA. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications and avoids false triggering in high-impedance sensing circuits.
Can SMBJ75 be used in automated SMT assembly processes without special handling?
Yes, SMBJ75 is optimized for automated placement: it carries moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020 (no dry-pack or baking required), features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability, and uses a DO-214AA (SMB) outline compatible with standard pick-and-place feeders and reflow profiles.
