Product details
Overview
SMCG130CAHE3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMCG (DO-215AB) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 130 V standoff voltage (VWM), 1500 W peak pulse power (PPPM), clamping voltage of 209 V at 7.2 A IPPM, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the SMCG130CAHE3/57T datasheet, SMCG130CAHE3/57T pinout, SMCG130CAHE3/57T application, or SMCG130CAHE3/57T equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping symmetry, 10/1000 µs surge current handling, junction temperature range (–55 °C to +150 °C), and RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified construction for automotive sensor and power line protection.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector with symmetrical breakdown characteristics in both directions (VBR min/max = 144 V / 159 V at IT = 1 mA), enabling use on AC lines or differential signal paths without polarity concerns. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and fast response time to transients.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 75 °C/W and RθJL = 15 °C/W, supporting operation up to TJ = 150 °C when mounted on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per terminal. The DO-215AB package meets UL 94 V-0 and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.
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 at 1 mA - Ensures predictable, symmetric breakdown in both directions |
| VC @ IPPM | 209 V at 7.2 A - Clamping voltage under 10/1000 µs surge, limiting downstream stress |
| PPPM | 1500 W - Peak transient energy absorption capability per IEC 61000-4-5 |
| ID @ VWM | <1.0 µA - Ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity and system quiescent current |
| TJ Range | –55 °C to +150 °C - Supports under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions |
| Package | SMCG (DO-215AB) - Low-profile surface-mount package compatible with automated placement |
Pinout & Package
SMCG130CAHE3/57T uses the DO-215AB (SMCG) package: a gull-wing, bidirectional surface-mount case with no polarity marking. Terminals are matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, rated MSL Level 1 (peak reflow 260 °C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Transient current entry (bidirectional) | Either terminal accepts surge current; symmetric conduction eliminates orientation dependency |
| Cathode | Transient current exit (bidirectional) | Paired with Anode to form low-impedance shunt path during overvoltage events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, ADAS sensors, and infotainment power rails |
| Glass passivated junction | Enhances long-term stability and reduces parameter drift under thermal cycling and humidity stress |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Enables single-reflow assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns or baking requirements |
| UL 94 V-0 molding compound | Meets flame-retardancy requirements for safety-critical PCB layouts in enclosed enclosures |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes clamping voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a) |
Applications

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), lower PPPM (400 W), SMA (DO-214AC) package | Limited to lower-energy transients; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when cost or board space is critical and surge energy remains below 400 W |
| SMCJ130CA | Same VWM (130 V), higher PPPM (1500 W), SMC (DO-214AB) package | Higher thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 15 °C/W higher), larger footprint | Select when legacy SMC footprint compatibility is required and board area allows larger case |
Compared with SMAJ130CA and SMCJ130CA, SMCG130CAHE3/57T delivers identical 130 V standoff and 1500 W surge rating in a smaller DO-215AB package with AEC-Q101 qualification-making it optimal for space-constrained, automotive-grade designs where reliability and footprint efficiency are prioritized.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in SMCG130CAHE3/57T?
The "CA" suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration: SMCG130CAHE3/57T provides symmetrical clamping in both forward and reverse directions, with matched breakdown voltages (144 V min / 159 V max). This enables use on AC-coupled lines or differential signals without polarity constraints-unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., SMCG130A) that require cathode orientation.
Is SMCG130CAHE3/57T suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMCG130CAHE3/57T is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, making it suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive systems. Its DO-215AB package meets MSL Level 1 and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance-key requirements for automotive PCB assembly and long-term field reliability.
What is the clamping voltage of SMCG130CAHE3/57T and how is it measured?
The clamping voltage (VC) of SMCG130CAHE3/57T is 209 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 7.2 A using the standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform. This value reflects the maximum voltage seen downstream during a surge event and is critical for ensuring protected ICs remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
How does the SMCG (DO-215AB) package compare to SMA or SMC packages?
The SMCG (DO-215AB) package is dimensionally smaller than SMC (DO-214AB) and offers lower thermal resistance (RθJL = 15 °C/W) than SMA (DO-214AC). Its gull-wing leads provide superior solder joint reliability versus J-leads, and its MSL Level 1 rating eliminates pre-bake steps-giving SMCG130CAHE3/57T advantages in automotive and high-reliability automated assembly.
Does SMCG130CAHE3/57T require external heat sinking?
No, SMCG130CAHE3/57T is designed for operation without external heat sinking when mounted on the recommended 0.31" × 0.31" (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. Its RθJA of 75 °C/W and 6.5 W steady-state power dissipation (PD) allow full-rated surge performance in typical PCB layouts-though thermal relief should be verified for sustained high-temperature ambient conditions.
