Product details
Overview
SMBJ7.5AQ-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 600W automotive transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode with 7.5V reverse standoff voltage, 12.9V clamping voltage at 46.5A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification. It protects CAN, LIN, and sensor interfaces in 12V automotive power domains against ISO7637-2 Pulse 1 (−150V), Pulse 2a (+112V), and ISO10605 ESD (±30kV).
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ7.5AQ-13-F datasheet, SMBJ7.5AQ-13-F pinout, SMBJ7.5AQ-13-F application, or SMBJ7.5AQ-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to system rail, IPP capability under ISO7637-2 Pulse 3b (+150V), thermal derating above +25°C, and SMB package solderability per MIL-STD-202.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a shunt-clamping device triggered by avalanche breakdown above its 8.33–9.21V VBR range at 1.0mA test current. Its 12.9V VC at 46.5A (10×1000μs waveform) ensures safe clamping of transients while maintaining <100μA leakage at 7.5V VRWM.
Designed for automotive environments, it sustains −55°C to +175°C junction temperature, complies with IATF 16949 manufacturing, and meets ISO10605 (150pF/330Ω) and ISO7637-2 (Pulse 1/2a/3a/3b) surge immunity requirements without external biasing.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Engine Control Unit (ECU) Sensor Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects LIN bus transceivers from load dump and battery reversal events in door module wiring harnesses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt-clamping TVS placed between LIN data line and chassis ground. Use Value: Prevents LIN transceiver latch-up during ISO7637-2 Pulse 2a (+112V) by clamping to 12.9V within 1ns response time. | Use Scenario: Shields analog pressure/temperature sensor inputs from ignition coil coupling noise in engine bay. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional surge suppressor on sensor signal line referenced to 5V supply rail. Use Value: Maintains sensor accuracy by limiting transient overvoltage to <13V, avoiding ADC saturation or op-amp rail-to-rail clipping. |
| CAN FD Network Node | ADAS Camera Power Input |
Use Scenario: Guards high-speed CAN FD transceivers against ESD and alternator ripple in infotainment head units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional protection not applicable; SMBJ7.5AQ-13-F used on single-ended supply rail (VCC) feeding transceiver. Use Value: Absorbs 600W surge energy from ISO10605 contact discharge without altering CAN signal integrity or timing jitter. | Use Scenario: Secures 12V camera module input against jump-start transients and hot-swap in-vehicle power systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary front-end TVS on main power rail upstream of DC-DC converter. Use Value: Survives ISO7637-2 Pulse 3b (+150V) by diverting >46A peak current, preserving downstream regulator enable logic. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.5A-Q | Same electrical specs; non-AEC-Q101, commercial-grade marking | Lacks PPAP support and automotive change control documentation | Select only for non-automotive industrial prototypes |
| SMCJ7.5A | Same VRWM/VC, but SMC package (higher PPK = 1500W, larger footprint) | Requires PCB redesign due to 7.11mm × 6.22mm vs. SMB's 3.94mm × 5.59mm | Choose when higher surge margin is needed and board space allows |
Compared with SMBJ7.5A-Q, SMBJ7.5AQ-13-F adds AEC-Q101 validation and traceable automotive sourcing; versus SMCJ7.5A, it trades peak power headroom for compact SMB layout compatibility in space-constrained ECU modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ7.5AQ-13-F under standard test conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage is 12.9V at 46.5A peak pulse current using the 10×1000μs waveform defined in IEC 61000-4-5. This value is measured with the device mounted on a standard FR-4 PCB per JEDEC standards and represents worst-case voltage seen by downstream components during surge events.
Does SMBJ7.5AQ-13-F support bidirectional transient suppression?
No - SMBJ7.5AQ-13-F is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the absence of "C" suffix. It conducts only during reverse-biased overvoltage events. For bidirectional protection (e.g., data lines), use SMBJ7.5CAQ-13-F, which has symmetric clamping in both polarities.
How does the SMB package affect thermal performance in high-ambient environments?
The SMB package delivers 5.0W steady-state power dissipation at TL = +75°C, with linear derating of 4.8W/°C above +25°C ambient. Its low thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 60°C/W on 1-in² copper) enables operation up to +175°C junction temperature when properly heatsinked on automotive PCBs.
Is SMBJ7.5AQ-13-F compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - it features matte tin-plated terminals qualified per J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 60s max). The UL 94V-0 mold compound withstands repeated thermal cycling without delamination or parameter shift.
