Product details
Overview
SMBJ75C from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for high-energy ESD and surge protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 75 V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 134 V maximum clamping voltage (VC@IPP) at 4.7 A peak impulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with DO-214AA (SMB) package - used in automotive lighting control modules to protect CAN transceivers from load-dump-induced transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75C datasheet, SMBJ75C pinout, SMBJ75C application, or SMBJ75C equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping symmetry, ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b compliance, junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 55 °C/W, and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020 - all critical for under-hood automotive electronics reliability.
Technical Context
The SMBJ75C implements a silicon avalanche diode structure with glass-passivated junction, enabling sub-1 ps response time and stable breakdown behavior across temperature. Its bidirectional configuration ensures symmetrical clamping in AC-coupled or floating signal paths without polarity dependency.
Designed for unidirectional and bidirectional surge suppression, it meets ISO 7637-2 test requirements for automotive electrical systems and supports steady-state power dissipation up to 3 W at 25 °C ambient, with junction temperature rated from –55 °C to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - Maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage the device blocks without conduction |
| VBR (min/max) | 83.3 V / 102 V @ 1 mA - Ensures reliable turn-on above normal operating voltage while avoiding false triggering |
| VC@IPP | 134 V @ 4.7 A (10/1000 µs waveform) - Limits downstream voltage stress during worst-case surge events |
| PPK | 600 W - Sustains high-energy transients such as ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) |
| ID@VWM | ≤1 µA - Minimizes standby power loss and avoids interference in high-impedance sensing circuits |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables operation in under-hood environments without derating below full power |
| RθJA | 55 °C/W - Defines thermal design margin for PCB copper area and airflow requirements |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AA (SMB), surface-mount, bi-directional, cathode band not applicable (symmetrical terminals).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (bidirectional) | Surge current path terminal | Both terminals function identically; no polarity marking required - simplifies layout and eliminates orientation errors |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| RoHS & halogen-free | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU - supports green manufacturing and export compliance |
| Fast response time | <1.0 ps - Clamps before transient energy couples into protected IC inputs, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage |
Applications
| Automotive Lighting Control | Industrial PLC I/O Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting LED driver ICs and microcontrollers in headlamp modules subjected to load-dump transients (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS placed across 12 V supply rail upstream of DC-DC converter input. Use Value: Clamps 134 V at 4.7 A to prevent overvoltage shutdown or destruction of buck controller during 35 V–40 V sustained load-dump events. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 24 V digital input channels on programmable logic controllers exposed to inductive kickback from solenoid valves. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS at field-side connector interface, shunting surge energy before optocoupler input stage. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤134 V within 1 ps, preserving isolation barrier integrity and preventing false triggering of input latching logic. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | RS-485 Communication Line |
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN bus transceivers and power window motor drivers against battery reverse connection and jump-start surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS across VBAT and GND near connector entry point in BCM subassembly. Use Value: Withstands 600 W peak pulses and maintains ≤1 µA leakage at 75 V, ensuring low quiescent current in always-on vehicle networks. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Differential-mode TVS across A/B lines, referenced to local ground with minimal parasitic inductance. Use Value: Symmetrical 134 V clamping protects both polarities of differential signaling, maintaining common-mode rejection and data integrity during 4 kV EFT bursts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ75CA | Same DO-214AC (SMA) package; 134 V VC@IPP, but 400 W PPK rating and higher RθJA (65 °C/W) | Lower power handling limits use in high-repetition surge environments like industrial motor drives | Select when footprint compatibility with SMA layout exists and thermal budget allows higher junction rise |
| ON Semiconductor 1.5SMC75CA | DO-214AB (SMC) package; identical 75 V VWM and 134 V VC, but 1500 W PPK and 2.5× larger footprint | Supports higher single-pulse energy but requires PCB redesign; unsuitable for space-constrained automotive modules | Choose for legacy SMC-based designs needing higher surge margin without changing protection topology |
Compared with SMBJ75C, SMAJ75CA offers smaller size but reduced surge capacity and thermal performance, while 1.5SMC75CA delivers greater robustness at the cost of board area - SMBJ75C uniquely balances 600 W capability, SMB footprint, and automotive-grade qualification in one package.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ75C under standard 10/1000 µs surge conditions?
The SMBJ75C has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 134 V when subjected to a 4.7 A peak impulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures downstream circuitry remains within safe operating voltage limits during defined surge events - a critical parameter confirmed in Taiwan Semiconductor's R2104 datasheet, page 3.
Is SMBJ75C unidirectional or bidirectional, and how does that affect PCB layout?
SMBJ75C is a bidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "C" suffix per Taiwan Semiconductor's ordering convention. It has no polarity marking or cathode band, allowing placement in either orientation on the PCB - eliminating orientation checks during automated assembly and simplifying layout for symmetric protection of AC-coupled or floating nodes like RS-485 differential pairs.
Does SMBJ75C meet automotive EMC standards such as ISO 7637-2?
Yes, SMBJ75C is explicitly rated to meet ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b requirements per Taiwan Semiconductor's datasheet (page 1). Its 600 W peak pulse power, fast <1 ps response, and controlled clamping behavior make it suitable for protecting automotive body control modules, lighting systems, and infotainment interfaces against conducted transients.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for SMBJ75C at room temperature?
SMBJ75C has a steady-state power dissipation (PD) rating of 3 W at TA = 25 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (page 1 of R2104 datasheet). This defines the continuous power it can safely dissipate without exceeding its 150 °C maximum junction temperature - important for thermal design in enclosed automotive enclosures.
How does the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of SMBJ75C impact manufacturing handling?
SMBJ75C is rated MSL-1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/60% RH and requires no baking prior to reflow soldering. This eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk and streamlines SMT line integration - a key advantage for high-volume automotive electronics assembly where process reliability is critical.
