Product details
Overview
SMBJ75AQ-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 600W surface-mount automotive transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode with 75V reverse standoff voltage, 83.3V minimum breakdown voltage, and 121V maximum clamping voltage at 4.9A peak pulse current. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and designed to protect CAN, LIN, and power-line circuits in engine control units and body electronics against ISO7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/3a/3b transients and ISO10605 ESD events.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75AQ-13-F datasheet, SMBJ75AQ-13-F pinout, SMBJ75AQ-13-F application, or SMBJ75AQ-13-F equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability 12V/24V automotive subsystems requiring precise clamping, low leakage (<0.5µA), and IATF 16949-certified manufacturing traceability.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device in series with the protected line and ground, activating only during negative-going transients exceeding its breakdown threshold. Its 121V clamping voltage limits surge energy delivered to downstream ICs under ISO7637-2 Pulse 1 (−150V) and Pulse 3a (−220V) waveforms.
Thermal performance is defined by 5.0W steady-state dissipation at TL = +75°C and 4.8W/°C derating above +25°C ambient. The −55°C to +175°C operating junction temperature range supports under-hood deployment in powertrain and chassis modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600W - sustains single 10×1000μs transients without failure per ISO7637-2 compliance testing |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 75.0V - maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage before significant leakage; matches 24V system nominal + margin |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 83.3–92.1V @ IT = 1.0mA - ensures reliable turn-on prior to damage threshold of protected 75V-rated components |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 121.0V @ IPP = 4.9A - limits transient voltage seen by downstream CAN transceivers or microcontrollers |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <0.5µA @ VRWM - prevents battery drain in always-on vehicle networks such as LIN or CAN FD standby modes |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +175°C - enables placement near engines, inverters, or braking systems without thermal derating loss |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, molded plastic body with UL 94V-0 flammability rating, 0.1g mass, and matte tin lead finish compliant with RoHS 3 and halogen-free "Green" requirements.

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects 24V supply input and CAN-H/CAN-L lines from load dump and alternator ripple-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between power rail and chassis ground to clamp negative transients during relay switching or battery disconnection. Use Value: Limits clamped voltage to 121V, ensuring survival of 100V-rated DC-DC converters and CAN transceivers under ISO7637-2 Pulse 1 (−150V). |
Use Scenario: Shields LIN bus transceivers and door module microcontrollers from ESD events during assembly and service. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Mounted directly at connector entry point to shunt fast-rising ESD pulses (IEC 61000-4-2) before reaching silicon. Use Value: Sub-0.5µA leakage preserves battery life in sleep-mode LIN nodes; 30kV contact discharge immunity meets OEM ESD validation requirements. |
| Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) | Electric Power Steering (EPS) |
Use Scenario: Safeguards camera module power and GMSL serial interface against ignition noise and inductive kickback in front-end sensor clusters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Placed on 12V bias rail upstream of DC-DC regulators to prevent overvoltage shutdown during cranking transients.

Use Scenario: Protects motor driver gate drivers and position sensor interfaces from commutation spikes in brushless EPS motors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Connected across H-bridge high-side FET source and ground to clamp inductive flyback during PWM switching. Use Value: 175°C max junction temperature allows direct PCB mounting near motor control ICs without heatsink dependency. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional automotive TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75A-Q | Same electrical specs; differs only in packaging marking (no -13-F suffix) and tape/reel quantity (5,000 vs. 3,000) | Identical functional replacement; used in legacy designs with different logistics coding | Select when sourcing from alternate Diodes distribution channels where -13-F is unavailable |
| SMCJ75A-Q | Same VRWM/VBR/VC but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package with 1500W peak power and higher IFSM (150A) | Used where board space permits and higher surge margin is required (e.g., alternator output lines) | Choose for enhanced ruggedness in high-energy zones; avoid if SMB footprint and thermal profile are fixed |
Compared with SMBJ75AQ-13-F, SMBJ75A-Q offers identical protection performance with minor logistics variation, while SMCJ75A-Q trades compact SMB size for 2.5× higher surge capacity-critical for alternator feed lines but incompatible with dense ECU layouts.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMBJ75AQ-13-F?
SMBJ75AQ-13-F is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode indicated by a band on the SMB package. It conducts only during reverse-bias overvoltage events, making it suitable for DC power rail protection where polarity is fixed. Unlike bi-directional variants (e.g., SMBJ75CAQ), it does not suppress positive transients on grounded lines.
How does SMBJ75AQ-13-F meet ISO7637-2 Pulse 3a requirements?
SMBJ75AQ-13-F clamps to 121V at 4.9A, well below the −220V amplitude of ISO7637-2 Pulse 3a. Its 600W peak power rating and 10×1000μs waveform response ensure it absorbs the full energy of this fast-rising, long-duration transient without thermal failure or parameter shift, verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing.
Can SMBJ75AQ-13-F be used in 48V mild-hybrid systems?
No-its 75V VRWM and 121V VC are optimized for 24V nominal systems. In 48V architectures, transients exceed its clamping capability; higher-voltage variants like SMBJ130AQ (130V VRWM, 209V VC) are required to maintain safe margin above 48V ±20% operating range and load dump peaks.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) for SMBJ75AQ-13-F?
SMBJ75AQ-13-F has Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH without baking prior to reflow. This eliminates floor-life constraints and simplifies SMT line integration for high-volume automotive PCB assembly.
