Product details
Overview
SMCJ11AQ-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 1,500W automotive transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC package, with 11V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 18.2V max clamping voltage at 82.4A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood power line protection against ISO7637-2 Pulse 1 (–100V), Pulse 2a (+50V), and ISO10605 ESD (±30kV).
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ11AQ-13-F datasheet, SMCJ11AQ-13-F pinout, SMCJ11AQ-13-F application, or SMCJ11AQ-13-F equivalent, this part supports high-reliability automotive circuit protection where fast clamping response (<1 ns), low leakage (<5 µA @ 11V), and IATF 16949-manufactured traceability are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds 11V VRWM and fully clamping within nanoseconds to limit transients to ≤18.2V at 82.4A (10/1000 µs waveform). It sustains 200A non-repetitive surge (8.3 ms half-sine) and dissipates 5W steady-state power at TL = +75°C.
Designed for automotive power rail protection, it meets ISO7637-2 Pulse 1 (–100V), Pulse 2a (+50V), Pulse 3a (–150V), Pulse 3b (+100V) and ISO10605 (±30kV air/contact discharge), with glass-passivated die construction ensuring stable breakdown and low capacitance (<100 pF at 0 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 1500W - withstands severe automotive load dump and inductive switching surges without failure |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 11.0V - sets minimum operating voltage threshold before clamping activation on 12V systems |
| Max Clamping Voltage (VC @ IPP) | 18.2V @ 82.4A - limits downstream IC voltage stress during ISO7637-2 Pulse 1 and Pulse 2a events |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR min/max) | 12.2V / 13.5V @ 1.0mA - ensures tight tolerance for predictable clamping onset across temperature |
| Leakage Current (IR) | <5.0µA @ 11V - prevents excessive quiescent current draw in always-on vehicle modules |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +150°C - supports placement near engines, ECUs, and battery management units |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TCT, and ESD testing per AEC standard |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), surface-mount, molded plastic body with UL 94V-0 flammability rating, cathode band polarity indicator, and matte tin lead finish solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or low-voltage return path; defines unidirectional conduction direction |
| Cathode | High-side surge input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., battery feed); absorbs positive transients via avalanche breakdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1,500W peak pulse power | Enables robust protection against worst-case ISO7637-2 load dump and alternator surge events |
| Glass-passivated die construction | Ensures stable VBR over lifetime and resistance to humidity-induced parameter drift |
| Fast response time (<1 ns) | Clamps transients before sensitive CAN/LIN transceivers or microcontrollers experience overvoltage damage |
| AEC-Q101 qualified & IATF 16949 manufacturing | Guarantees automotive supply chain traceability, PPAP readiness, and zero-defect production control |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" design | Meets EU RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and automotive OEM environmental compliance requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional automotive TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAC11-0105-0150 (Littelfuse) | Same 11V VRWM, 18.2V VC, but rated for 1,500W with 10/1000µs waveform; slightly higher IR (10µA @ 11V) | Approved for Tier-1 ADAS suppliers requiring Littelfuse-specific PPAP documentation | Select if sourcing ecosystem mandates Littelfuse qualification or requires alternate tape-and-reel packaging (1,000 pcs/reel vs. 3,000) |
| TPSMA11A (Texas Instruments) | Identical VRWM (11V), VC (18.2V), and PPK (1,500W), but AEC-Q101 tested to lower temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) | Used in infotainment head units where extended high-temp operation is not required | Prefer for cost-sensitive non-under-hood applications where full –55°C start-up capability is unnecessary |
Compared with SAC11-0105-0150 and TPSMA11A, SMCJ11AQ-13-F offers broader operating temperature (–55°C to +150°C), tighter IR spec (<5µA), and direct IATF 16949 traceability-making it optimal for engine bay, transmission control, and EPS deployments demanding maximum thermal margin and supply chain rigor.

FAQ
Is SMCJ11AQ-13-F bidirectional or unidirectional?
SMCJ11AQ-13-F is unidirectional. The absence of the "C" suffix (e.g., SMCJ11CAQ-13-F) confirms single-polarity operation: it clamps only positive transients on the cathode side relative to anode ground. Bidirectional variants carry the "C" designation and lack a cathode band marking.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature during surge events?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C. During a single 10/1000 µs 82.4A pulse, junction temperature rise is limited by thermal mass and short duration; continuous operation must remain within the derated PM(AV) curve-5.0W at TL = +75°C, decreasing linearly to zero at +150°C case temperature.
Does SMCJ11AQ-13-F require external heat sinking for 5W steady-state dissipation?
No external heatsink is required for 5W steady-state dissipation when leads are maintained at +75°C (TL), per the datasheet's PM(AV) rating. PCB copper area (≥1 in² per lead) and 2 oz. copper layers provide sufficient conduction; forced airflow or heatsinking is unnecessary unless ambient exceeds +75°C or duty cycle increases beyond specified derating.
How does the SMC package compare to SMA or SMB in terms of surge handling?
The SMC (DO-214AB) package delivers higher thermal mass and lower thermal resistance than SMA (DO-214AC) or SMB (DO-214AA), enabling 1500W peak power vs. ~600W (SMA) or ~1000W (SMB). Its larger footprint (6.22 × 7.11 mm) and thicker leads improve current spreading and reduce bond wire stress during 200A 8.3ms surges.
