Product details
Overview
SMCJ130AHE3_A/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in power rails and signal lines. It features a 130 V standoff voltage (VWM), 209 V clamping voltage (VC) at 7.2 A peak pulse current, and 1500 W peak pulse power dissipation with a 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive power modules, industrial motor drives, and telecom DC input stages.
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ130AHE3_A/I datasheet, SMCJ130AHE3_A/I pinout, SMCJ130AHE3_A/I application, or SMCJ130AHE3_A/I equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-214AB (SMC) package thermal performance (RθJA = 75 °C/W), unidirectional polarity marking, and compliance with UL 497B surge protector classification.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that transitions from high-impedance standby to low-impedance conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold (VBR = 144–159 V at IT = 1 mA). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1 µA at VWM) and fast response (<1 ns), enabling protection against ESD, lightning-induced surges, and inductive switching transients.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads, it delivers 1500 W surge handling per JEDEC-standard 10/1000 µs waveform while maintaining junction temperatures ≤150 °C. The matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD22-B102 whisker resistance Class 2 requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130AHE3_A/I | Lower PPPM (600 W), smaller SMB (DO-214AA) package, same VWM/VC ratings | Reduced surge margin; suitable only for lower-energy transients or space-constrained layouts | Select when board area is critical and worst-case surge energy is ≤600 W |
| SMCJ130CAHE3_A/I | Bidirectional variant; symmetric VBR and VC in both polarities; no polarity marking | Required for AC-coupled or floating signal lines where reverse polarity surges occur | Choose for RS-485, CAN, or sensor interfaces needing bidirectional clamping |
Compared with SMCJ130AHE3_A/I, SMBJ130AHE3_A/I offers footprint reduction at the cost of 60% lower surge capacity, while SMCJ130CAHE3_A/I enables AC-compatible protection but eliminates cathode/anode orientation constraints.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the SMCJ130AHE3_A/I?
The SMCJ130AHE3_A/I has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 144 V to 159 V at a test current of 1 mA, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This range ensures consistent clamping behavior above its 130 V standoff voltage and is verified across production lots per Vishay Document Number 88394.
Is the SMCJ130AHE3_A/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the SMCJ130AHE3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified (indicated by the HE3 suffix) and rated for operating junction temperatures from –55 °C to +150 °C. It meets UL 497B requirements and is explicitly listed for use in automotive power distribution systems, including engine control units and body electronics subjected to ISO 7637-2 transients.
What does the "_A/I" suffix mean in SMCJ130AHE3_A/I?
The "_A/I" suffix in SMCJ130AHE3_A/I denotes the packaging configuration: "A" indicates the revision code per Vishay's internal documentation, and "I" specifies 13-inch diameter plastic tape-and-reel delivery containing 3500 units. This matches the ordering information in Document Number 88394, Table "ORDERING INFORMATION (Example)".
How does the SMCJ130AHE3_A/I compare to bidirectional TVS diodes?
The SMCJ130AHE3_A/I is unidirectional and features a cathode band for polarity identification, enabling asymmetric clamping optimized for DC rails. In contrast, bidirectional variants like SMCJ130CAHE3_A/I provide identical VBR and VC in both directions and lack polarity marking - making them appropriate for AC or floating signal lines but unsuitable for single-polarity DC protection without additional circuitry.
What is the thermal resistance of the SMCJ130AHE3_A/I under standard mounting conditions?
The SMCJ130AHE3_A/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended 0.31" × 0.31" (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, as defined in Vishay Document Number 88394. This value assumes natural convection and is critical for calculating safe power derating above 25 °C ambient.
