Product details
Overview
SMDJ100AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 3000W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, with 100V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 111–123V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 162V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 18.5A peak pulse current - designed for automotive-grade ESD and load-switching surge protection in power supply rails and I/O lines.
For engineers reviewing the SMDJ100AH datasheet, SMDJ100AH pinout, SMDJ100AH application, or SMDJ100AH equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b compliance, 1.0ps typical response time, 175°C max junction temperature, and unidirectional configuration confirmed for SMDJ100AH (not bidirectional - no CAH suffix).
Technical Context
The SMDJ100AH operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 111–123V breakdown range at 1mA test current. It clamps transients to ≤162V at 18.5A (10/1000μs waveform), delivering 3000W peak pulse power with <1.0ps response and glass-passivated junction for reliability.
Thermally, it features 75°C/W junction-to-ambient and 15°C/W junction-to-lead resistance, enabling sustained operation up to 175°C junction temperature. Its DO-214AB (SMC) package supports automated placement and meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and JESD 201 class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAC100A | Same 100V VWM, but lower 1500W PPK and higher 200V VC @ 12.5A; TO-220AC package | Requires through-hole mounting and heatsinking; unsuitable for high-density SMT designs | Select only if board space allows TO-220 and thermal mass supports lower peak power |
| SMCJ100A | Identical DO-214AB package, same 100V VWM, but 1500W PPK and 170V VC @ 11.5A | Limited to lower-energy transients; not rated for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive surge margin requirements |
Compared with SAC100A and SMCJ100A, the SMDJ100AH delivers 100% higher peak power (3000W), 11% lower clamping voltage (162V vs. 170–200V), and AEC-Q101/ISO 7637-2 certification - making it the only option qualified for under-hood automotive power rail protection without layout or thermal redesign.

FAQ
Is SMDJ100AH unidirectional or bidirectional?
The SMDJ100AH is unidirectional, as confirmed by its "AH" suffix (not "CAH") and absence of bidirectional electrical characteristics in its datasheet table. Its marking code "PGZ" and cathode band indicate polarity-sensitive placement - reverse connection would prevent proper clamping. The SMDJ100AH must be installed with cathode toward the protected line and anode to ground.
What is the forward voltage drop of SMDJ100AH at 100A?
The forward voltage drop of SMDJ100AH is 5.0 V at 100A, as explicitly specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table for "SMDJ100AH Devices for bipolar applications" - distinct from the 3.5 V VF of lower-voltage SMDJ10AH–SMDJ90AH variants. This value applies only during forward conduction, such as during fault conditions or miswiring.
Does SMDJ100AH meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the SMDJ100AH is AEC-Q101 qualified and meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b test requirements - verified per Taiwan Semiconductor's official documentation. Its 175°C maximum junction temperature, glass-passivated junction, and moisture sensitivity level 1 further support automotive under-hood deployment.
What is the clamping voltage of SMDJ100AH at its rated peak pulse current?
The clamping voltage of SMDJ100AH is 162 V at 18.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured using the standard 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform. This value is guaranteed across temperature and ensures protected circuits remain below critical voltage thresholds during surge events.
Can SMDJ100AH replace SMCJ100A in existing designs?
No direct replacement: while both use DO-214AB (SMC) packaging, the SMDJ100AH has 3000W PPK and 162V VC, whereas SMCJ100A offers only 1500W PPK and 170V VC. Substituting SMDJ100AH may improve surge margin but requires validation of PCB thermal relief and layout compatibility with its higher energy dissipation.
