Product details
Overview
SMCJ24AQ-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 1,500W automotive transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC package, with 24V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 38.9V max clamping voltage (VC) at 38.6A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood engine control and infotainment power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ24AQ-13-F datasheet, SMCJ24AQ-13-F pinout, SMCJ24AQ-13-F application, or SMCJ24AQ-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include ISO7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/3a/3b surge immunity, 30kV ESD robustness per ISO10605, clamping ratio (VC/VRWM = 1.62), thermal derating above +25°C, and lead-free RoHS/Green compliance for automotive production.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional shunt protector, triggered by reverse-biased avalanche breakdown when transient voltage exceeds 24V VRWM. Its glass-passivated die ensures stable VBR (26.7–29.5V) and low leakage (<5µA at VRWM).
It responds within <1.0ps to transients, clamping 10×1000µs surges up to 1,500W without degradation. Designed for IATF 16949-certified manufacturing, it supports PPAP documentation and change-controlled automotive BOMs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 1500W - sustains single 10×1000µs surges per ISO7637-2 without failure |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 24V - maximum continuous DC operating voltage before clamping activates |
| Clamping Voltage | 38.9V @ 38.6A - limits downstream IC voltage during worst-case Pulse 1 (−100V) |
| Breakdown Voltage | 26.7–29.5V @ 1mA - tight VBR tolerance ensures predictable turn-on margin |
| Leakage Current | <5µA @ 24V - negligible standby power loss in always-on automotive modules |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood placement near engines or power converters |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), molded plastic body with UL 94V-0 flammability rating, cathode band polarity indicator, 0.21g mass, and matte tin lead finish solderable per MIL-STD-202.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry during forward conduction | Connected to protected circuit ground; enables low VF (3.5V @ 100A) during surge |
| Cathode | Current exit during reverse avalanche clamping | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12V battery rail); defines VRWM and VC threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1,500W Peak Pulse Power | Handles ISO7637-2 Pulse 1 (−100V, 50ms) without degradation in automotive power nets |
| Glass Passivated Die | Ensures stable VBR over lifetime and resistance to humidity-induced parameter drift |
| Fast Response Time | <1.0ps enables clamping before sensitive MCU or CAN transceiver inputs are overstressed |
| AEC-Q101 & PPAP Capable | Supports full automotive qualification documentation and controlled change management |
| Halogen/Antimony-Free "Green" | Meets EU ELV Directive with Br+Cl <1500ppm and Sb <1000ppm for end-of-life recycling |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional automotive TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAC24-13-F (Diodes Inc.) | Lower 600W rating, 33.2V VC @ 18.1A, same SMC package and AEC-Q101 grade | Targeted for lower-energy CAN/LIN nodes; insufficient for full-load-dump ECU protection | Select only where peak surge energy is ≤600W and clamping voltage margin allows ≥33.2V |
| SMAJ24A (ON Semiconductor) | Same 24V VRWM but 400W rating, 38.9V VC @ 10.3A, SMA package (lower thermal mass) | Limited to non-under-hood locations due to lower PM(AV) = 1W vs. 5W and no IATF 16949 traceability | Acceptable for cabin modules only; avoid in high-temp or PPAP-mandated programs |
Compared with SAC24-13-F and SMAJ24A, SMCJ24AQ-13-F delivers 2.5× higher surge energy handling, 5× higher steady-state power dissipation, and full automotive process control-making it the sole choice for engine bay ECUs, ADAS power rails, and PPAP-compliant Tier 1 BOMs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMCJ24AQ-13-F at its rated peak pulse current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) is 38.9V at 38.6A peak pulse current, measured using the standardized 10×1000µs waveform per REA and Figure 4 of DS40741. This value is guaranteed across −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events.
Is SMCJ24AQ-13-F suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No - SMCJ24AQ-13-F is unidirectional, indicated by the absence of "C" in its part number. Bidirectional variants (e.g., SMCJ24CAQ-13-F) are required for AC-coupled or differential lines like CAN or LIN data buses where voltage polarity reverses. Using this part on bidirectional lines risks forward conduction and permanent damage.
How does the SMC package affect thermal performance in high-power automotive environments?
The SMC (DO-214AB) package provides 5.0W steady-state power dissipation at TL = +75°C, supported by its copper lead frame and 0.21g mass. Its thermal resistance from junction-to-lead (RθJL) enables direct PCB copper pour heatsinking, critical for sustaining repeated ISO7637-2 pulses in under-hood ambient temperatures up to +125°C.
Does SMCJ24AQ-13-F require derating for operation above +25°C ambient?
Yes - peak pulse power must be linearly derated above +25°C per Figure 1 in DS40741: at +85°C ambient, maximum PPK drops to ~85% (1275W), and at +125°C, it falls to ~50% (750W). Derating applies to both single-pulse and repetitive surge conditions, and must be applied in thermal simulations for engine bay deployments.
