Product details
Overview
SMCG130CA-E3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMCG (DO-215AB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection on signal and power lines. It features a 130 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 1500 W peak pulse power (PPPM), clamping voltage of 209 V at 7.2 A IPPM, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the SMCG130CA-E3/57T datasheet, SMCG130CA-E3/57T pinout, SMCG130CA-E3/57T application, or SMCG130CA-E3/57T equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping symmetry, low incremental surge resistance, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and validated performance under 10/1000 µs transients in automotive sensor interfaces and industrial I/O protection.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped crowbar during ESD and lightning-induced surges, with symmetrical breakdown (VBR min/max = 144 V / 159 V) in both directions. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and fast response time (<1 ns), while the DO-215AB package supports automated SMT placement and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements.
Thermal design relies on RθJA = 75 °C/W and RθJL = 15 °C/W, enabling operation up to TJ = +150 °C. The 10/1000 µs waveform rating is derated above TA = 25 °C per Figure 2, and it complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 for surge protector classification under UL 497B (File E136766).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 130 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR (min/max) | 144 V / 159 V - symmetric breakdown threshold in both directions, ensuring balanced protection |
| VC @ IPPM | 209 V at 7.2 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, defining protected circuit stress level |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak transient energy handling capacity, critical for IEC 61000-4-5 compliance |
| ID @ VWM | <1.0 µA - ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor lines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ130CA | Same VWM (130 V) and PPPM (1500 W), but SMA (DO-214AC) package with higher RθJA (90 °C/W) | Limited to lower-power or lower-duty-cycle surges due to reduced thermal dissipation | Select when board space allows larger footprint and cost sensitivity outweighs thermal performance |
| SMCJ130CA | Higher PPPM (1500 W same), but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package with RθJA = 50 °C/W and higher IFSM (400 A) | Better suited for high-repetition surge environments like industrial motor drives | Choose when sustained thermal management or higher single-pulse robustness is required |
Compared with SMAJ130CA and SMCJ130CA, the SMCG130CA-E3/57T delivers optimal balance of compact DO-215AB footprint, AEC-Q101 qualification, and MSL Level 1 process compatibility-making it preferred for space-constrained automotive and industrial modules where reflow yield and qualification rigor are critical.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the SMCG130CA-E3/57T?
The SMCG130CA-E3/57T has a bidirectional breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 144 V minimum to 159 V maximum at 1.0 mA test current. This symmetric specification applies equally in both directions, confirming its suitability for AC-coupled or differential signal line protection where polarity reversal must not affect clamping behavior. The value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and verified across production lots.
Is the SMCG130CA-E3/57T suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the SMCG130CA-E3/57T is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use. It undergoes stress testing including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and ESD per JESD22, and carries UL 497B recognition (File E136766). Its DO-215AB package supports MSL Level 1 reflow, making SMCG130CA-E3/57T appropriate for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules.
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in SMCG130CA-E3/57T?
The "CA" suffix in SMCG130CA-E3/57T denotes a bidirectional configuration, meaning the device provides symmetrical transient suppression in both polarities. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., SMCG130A), the CA version has no cathode band marking and exhibits identical VBR, VC, and ID characteristics in either direction-critical for protecting AC signals, differential buses, or circuits where voltage polarity is undefined or reversible.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMCG130CA-E3/57T during a surge event?
The SMCG130CA-E3/57T clamps to a maximum of 209 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM = 7.2 A) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This clamping voltage defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected downstream circuitry and is guaranteed across temperature and lifetime per Vishay's characterization data in Document 88457.
How is the SMCG130CA-E3/57T packaged and delivered?
The SMCG130CA-E3/57T is supplied in 7-inch plastic tape and reel format (package code 57T), with 850 units per reel. The "E3" suffix confirms RoHS compliance and industrial-grade qualification. Its DO-215AB gull-wing leads are matte tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, supporting automated pick-and-place and lead-free reflow profiles.
