Product details
Overview
SMBJ75A-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 600W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode with 75V reverse standoff voltage, 83.3V minimum breakdown voltage at 1mA test current, and 121V maximum clamping voltage at 4.9A peak pulse current. It provides robust ESD and surge protection for DC power rails and signal lines in industrial power supplies, automotive body electronics, and telecom interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75A-13-F datasheet, SMBJ75A-13-F pinout, SMBJ75A-13-F application, or SMBJ75A-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC VMAX, peak pulse current capability under 8.3ms half-sine waveform, thermal derating above +25°C, and compatibility with SMB package reflow profiles.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when transient voltage exceeds VRWM = 75V, it avalanches at VBR ≥ 83.3V and limits downstream voltage to ≤121V at IPP = 4.9A. Its glass-passivated die ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<5μA at VRWM).
The device is rated for non-repetitive 8.3ms half-sine surges per JEDEC standards, with thermal derating of 4.8W/°C above +25°C ambient and steady-state power dissipation of 5.0W at TL = +75°C. It is not intended for continuous forward conduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600W - sustains single 8.3ms transients without failure |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 75V - maximum continuous DC operating voltage before clamping initiates |
| Breakdown Voltage | 83.3–95.8V @ 1mA - defines precise avalanche onset threshold |
| Clamping Voltage | 121V @ 4.9A - maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during specified surge |
| Peak Pulse Current | 4.9A - peak surge current handled at rated clamping voltage |
| Leakage Current | <5μA @ 75V - negligible standby power loss and minimal loading on source |
| Operating Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case with UL 94V-0 flammability rating, 0.1g mass, matte tin-plated leads solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during reverse-biased clamping | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to cathode during overvoltage |
| Cathode | Current exit point during clamping; marked with band | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; establishes unidirectional polarity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600W peak pulse power | Enables protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4kV/2Ω) surges in compact SMB footprint |

Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 24V DC input rail in programmable logic controller (PLC) power stage exposed to load dump and inductive switching transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional shunt TVS placed between VIN and GND to clamp transients before they reach DC-DC converter ICs. Use Value: Limits voltage to ≤121V during 4.9A surges, protecting 36V-rated input stages of buck controllers and preventing latch-up in microcontrollers. |
Use Scenario: LIN bus transceiver power supply line in door module subjected to battery disconnect spikes and ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on VCC rail feeding LIN PHY IC, positioned upstream of local LDO. Use Value: Clamps 75V-rated rail to 121V within 1ns response time, preserving LIN signal integrity and avoiding transceiver reset during 100V/10ms load dump. |
| Telecom Ethernet Interface | Smart Meter Communication Port |
Use Scenario: 48V PoE-powered Ethernet PHY interface vulnerable to lightning-induced surges on data pairs and power lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary clamping device on midspan PSE output rail, coordinated with primary gas discharge tube. Use Value: Provides fast-response secondary clamping (121V VC) after GDT crowbars, limiting residual energy delivered to PHY's 57V absolute max rating. |
Use Scenario: RS-485 communication port in utility meter exposed to induced surges from nearby lightning strikes on distribution lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Rail-to-rail TVS on VDD supply of isolated RS-485 transceiver, placed adjacent to connector. Use Value: Maintains 75V standoff while clamping to 121V, ensuring transceiver remains within its 130V isolation barrier rating during 1kV/500A surge tests. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75CA-13-F | Bi-directional version; symmetric clamping for AC-coupled or bidirectional signal lines | Required where both positive and negative transients must be suppressed (e.g., USB D+/D−, CAN H/L) | Select only if bidirectional protection is needed; otherwise unidirectional SMBJ75A offers tighter VRWM/VC margin |
| SMCJ75A-13-F | Same electrical specs but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; 1500W peak power rating | Used where higher surge energy handling (e.g., IEC 61000-4-5 Level 5) or improved thermal mass is required | Choose when PCB layout allows larger footprint and system-level testing demands >600W surge capacity |
Compared with SMBJ75CA-13-F, the SMBJ75A-13-F provides superior unidirectional clamping margin for DC rails, while SMCJ75A-13-F trades SMB footprint for higher surge robustness-making SMBJ75A optimal for space-constrained 75V DC protection where 600W suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ75A-13-F at its rated peak pulse current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) is 121V at IPP = 4.9A, measured using the standard 8.3ms half-sine waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. This value is guaranteed across temperature and process variation, and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events.
Is SMBJ75A-13-F suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-SMBJ75A-13-F meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for transient suppression devices and is widely used in automotive body electronics, including BCMs, lighting modules, and infotainment power rails. Its −55°C to +150°C operating range and robust glass-passivated die support under-hood deployment.
How does SMBJ75A-13-F differ from SMBJ75CA-13-F?
SMBJ75A-13-F is unidirectional with cathode-band marking and clamps only positive transients relative to ground; SMBJ75CA-13-F is bidirectional, symmetrical, and suppresses both polarities. The "C" suffix denotes bidirectional construction, resulting in identical VRWM and VC for ±75V standoff.
What is the thermal derating behavior above +25°C ambient?
Peak pulse power derates linearly at 4.8W/°C above +25°C ambient, meaning at +75°C ambient, the usable peak pulse power drops to 360W (600W − 4.8W/°C × 50°C). This reflects junction temperature rise limitations and must be factored into system-level surge margin calculations.
