Product details
Overview
SMCJ130HE3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AB (SMCJ) package, designed for high-energy surge protection with 130 V standoff voltage (VWM), 144–159 V breakdown range (VBR), and 1500 W peak pulse power (PPPM). It clamps transients to 209 V at 7.2 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ130HE3/57T datasheet, SMCJ130HE3/57T pinout, SMCJ130HE3/57T application, or SMCJ130HE3/57T equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 150 °C max junction temperature, RoHS-compliant matte tin leads, MSL Level 1 rating, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
The SMCJ130HE3/57T operates as a silicon avalanche diode, leveraging glass-passivated junction technology for stable, repeatable clamping under 10/1000 µs surge waveforms. Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time enable effective suppression of inductive switching transients and ESD events without degradation across repeated surges.
Designed for surface-mount use, it features a unidirectional configuration with cathode band marking, supports 200 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM), and maintains thermal performance via RθJA = 75 °C/W and RθJL = 15 °C/W - critical for board-level thermal management in space-constrained automotive and industrial PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 130 V - maximum reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe signal line operating margin |
| VBR min/max | 144 V / 159 V at 1 mA - precise avalanche onset range ensures consistent turn-on behavior across production lots |
| VC @ IPPM | 209 V at 7.2 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines protected circuit's maximum stress level |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak transient energy handling capacity; enables robust protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a surges |
| TJ max | +150 °C - extended junction temperature rating supports under-hood automotive deployment without derating |
| Package | DO-214AB (SMCJ) - industry-standard SMT outline with 0.320" body length; compatible with JEDEC MS-013 footprints |

Applications
| Automotive Power Line Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V battery-fed ECUs from load dump and alternator ripple transients per ISO 7637-2.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130AHE3/52T | Lower PPPM (600 W), smaller SMB package (DO-214AA), same VWM/VBR range | Suitable only for lower-energy transients; not recommended for load dump or ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a | Select when board space is constrained and surge threat level is limited to IEC 61000-4-2/4-4 |
| SMCJ130A-E3/57T | Same electrical specs and DO-214AB package, but commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101) | Lacks automotive qualification; unsuitable for under-hood or safety-critical modules | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial or consumer designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with SMCJ130AHE3/57T, the SMCJ130HE3/57T adds AEC-Q101 qualification and whisker-tested leads (JESD 201 Class 2), while SMCJ130A-E3/57T offers identical clamping performance without automotive validation - enabling trade-offs between reliability assurance and qualification cost.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SMCJ130HE3/57T under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMCJ130HE3/57T clamps to a maximum of 209 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 7.2 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at the device terminals and represents the upper voltage limit imposed on the protected circuit during surge conditions - a critical parameter for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings. The SMCJ130HE3/57T achieves this with low incremental resistance and stable avalanche characteristics.
Is the SMCJ130HE3/57T suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the SMCJ130HE3/57T is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use, including under-hood environments. Its 150 °C maximum junction temperature, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker-tested leads meet stringent automotive manufacturing and field reliability requirements. The SMCJ130HE3/57T is commonly deployed in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power domains where ISO 7637-2 compliance is required.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in SMCJ130HE3/57T?
The "HE3" suffix in SMCJ130HE3/57T denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Specifically, "H" indicates AEC-Q101 qualification, "E3" signifies RoHS compliance and matte tin plating, and the "3" reflects Vishay's internal revision and process control level. This distinguishes it from commercial-grade variants like SMCJ130A-E3/57T, which lack automotive qualification.
How does the SMCJ130HE3/57T differ from bi-directional TVS diodes like SMCJ130CA?
The SMCJ130HE3/57T is unidirectional and functions only in reverse-bias clamping mode, with a cathode band marking its polarity. In contrast, SMCJ130CA is bi-directional and provides symmetrical clamping for AC or floating signal lines. The SMCJ130HE3/57T offers higher IFSM (200 A vs. N/A for bi-directional) and is preferred for DC power rail protection, whereas SMCJ130CA suits data lines like RS-485 or audio where polarity reversal may occur. Both share identical VWM, VBR, and PPPM ratings.
What is the thermal resistance of the SMCJ130HE3/57T, and how does it affect layout?
The SMCJ130HE3/57T has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W and junction-to-lead resistance (RθJL) of 15 °C/W when mounted on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per terminal. To maintain safe operation below 150 °C junction temperature, PCB layout must provide adequate copper area and minimize trace length to ground. The SMCJ130HE3/57T's thermal performance directly impacts sustained surge repetition rate and long-term reliability in high-temperature environments.
