Product details
Overview
SMCJ6.0AQ-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional 1,500W automotive transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC package, with 6.0V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 10.3V max clamping voltage at 145.6A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood power line protection against ISO7637-2 Pulse 1 (–100V) and ISO10605 ESD (±30kV).
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ6.0AQ-13-F datasheet, SMCJ6.0AQ-13-F pinout, SMCJ6.0AQ-13-F application, or SMCJ6.0AQ-13-F equivalent, this part supports high-reliability automotive surge suppression where precise clamping, fast response (<1 ns), and IATF 16949 traceable manufacturing are required.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional shunt protector, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds 6.0V VRWM and clamping to ≤10.3V at 145.6A (10/1000μs waveform). It features glass-passivated die construction and achieves <1 ns response time due to low junction capacitance (≈100 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz).
Rated for –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, it delivers 5.0W steady-state power dissipation at TL = +75°C and withstands 200A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), meeting stringent automotive EMC and reliability requirements per ISO7637-2 and ISO10605.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 1500W - sustains single high-energy transients without failure (e.g., load dump, inductive kick) |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 6.0V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; sets operating margin below system rail |
| Max Clamping Voltage (VC) | 10.3V @ IPP = 145.6A - limits downstream IC voltage stress during worst-case surge events |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 6.67–7.37V @ IT = 10mA - ensures reliable turn-on with controlled overvoltage margin |
| Leakage Current (IR) | ≤1000µA @ VRWM - minimizes quiescent power loss and avoids false triggering in low-power circuits |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +150°C - supports engine compartment placement and extended thermal cycling life |
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 compliant with RoHS 3 and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current sink during reverse surge | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12V battery rail); conducts surge current to ground |
| Cathode | Reference terminal / voltage clamp reference | Connected to system ground; defines clamping threshold relative to ground potential |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1,500W peak pulse power | Enables robust protection against severe automotive transients including ISO7637-2 Pulse 1 (–100V) and Pulse 3b (+100V) |
| AEC-Q101 qualified & PPAP capable | Validated for automotive production use with full change control, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and zero-defect traceability |
| Glass-passivated die | Improves long-term reliability and stability of breakdown voltage under thermal cycling and humidity exposure |
| Fast response time (<1 ns) | Clamps before sensitive downstream components (e.g., CAN transceivers, microcontrollers) experience overvoltage damage |
| RoHS 3 & Halogen-free "Green" | Meets global environmental compliance: Br+Cl <1500 ppm, Sb <1000 ppm, Pb-free plating per MIL-STD-202 |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Input | CAN Bus Transceiver Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 12V battery feed to ECU main power regulator subjected to load dump and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional shunt TVS placed between battery rail and ground to clamp surges before DC/DC converter input. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤10.3V, preventing overvoltage shutdown or latch-up of 12V-input LDOs and PMICs. |
Use Scenario: CAN_H/CAN_L lines exposed to ESD events during vehicle assembly or service access. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional-capable unidirectional TVS (used in pair) on each CAN line referenced to chassis ground. Use Value: Clamps ±30kV contact discharge per ISO10605 while maintaining signal integrity via low capacitance (~100 pF). |
| Body Control Module (BCM) LIN Bus | ADAS Camera Power Rail |
Use Scenario: 12V supply to LIN transceiver in door module experiencing ISO7637-2 Pulse 3a (–150V) during grounding faults. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on LIN master power rail, upstream of linear regulator. Use Value: Absorbs 1500W surge energy without degradation, preserving LIN communication integrity during fault conditions. |
Use Scenario: 5V or 12V camera module power input exposed to hot-swap and cable discharge events in rear-view systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary protection stage after primary fuse, clamping fast-rising transients before image sensor and ISP. Use Value: Sub-100 ns response prevents pixel corruption or sensor reset caused by sub-microsecond overvoltage spikes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional automotive TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAC5.0A-13-F | Lower peak power (500W), same SMC package, VRWM = 5.0V, VC = 9.2V @ 54.3A | Insufficient for ISO7637-2 Pulse 1 (–100V); suitable only for lower-energy ESD-only zones | Select only if system surge energy is confirmed ≤500W and clamping voltage margin allows 5.0V VRWM |
| SMAJ6.0A-13-F | Same VRWM (6.0V) but lower PPK (400W), SMA package, VC = 10.3V @ 38.8A | Cannot survive ISO7637-2 Pulse 2a (+50V) with repeated stress; limited thermal mass for sustained surges | Acceptable only for non-critical interior modules with isolated power domains and no load-dump exposure |
Compared with SMCJ6.0AQ-13-F, SAC5.0A-13-F offers cost savings but sacrifices surge endurance, while SMAJ6.0A-13-F reduces board area at the expense of thermal derating margin and AEC-Q101 validation depth.

FAQ
Is SMCJ6.0AQ-13-F bidirectional or unidirectional?
SMCJ6.0AQ-13-F is unidirectional. The absence of "C" in the part number (e.g., vs. SMCJ6.0CAQ-13-F) confirms its unidirectional configuration, with cathode band marking the reference terminal. It protects against negative-going transients on positive rails and must be oriented with cathode toward the higher-potential side.
What is the maximum allowable PCB trace length between SMCJ6.0AQ-13-F and protected IC?
For optimal clamping performance, keep the total loop inductance below 10 nH. This typically requires trace lengths under 5 mm from TVS anode to protected line and from cathode to ground plane, using direct vias to inner ground layers. Longer paths increase clamping voltage due to L·di/dt effects during fast transients.
Does SMCJ6.0AQ-13-F require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes. Per Figure 1 in DS40741, peak pulse power must be linearly derated above +25°C ambient: at +85°C, maximum PPK drops to ~85% (1275W); at +125°C, it falls to ~55% (825W). Derating applies to both single-pulse and repetitive surge scenarios per JEDEC JESD22-A114.
Can SMCJ6.0AQ-13-F be used in parallel for higher surge current handling?
No. Parallel connection is not recommended due to mismatched dynamic impedance and VBR tolerances (±7.5%), which cause uneven current sharing and potential thermal runaway. For higher current capability, select a higher-rated part such as SMCJ7.0AQ-13-F or implement staged protection with upstream fusing.
