Product details
Overview
SMDJ30CA from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional 3000W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, with 30 V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 33.3–36.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 48.4 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 62.0 A peak pulse current. It protects telecom and industrial power rails against ESD, load-switching transients, and lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the SMDJ30CA datasheet, SMDJ30CA pinout, SMDJ30CA application, or SMDJ30CA equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b compliance, sub-1 ps response time, 175°C junction rating, and DO-214AB mechanical compatibility for high-energy surge immunity in compact PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SMDJ30CA employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast transient suppression in both polarities. Its unidirectional/bidirectional symmetry enables use in AC-coupled lines or DC bus protection without polarity constraints, while its 3000 W peak pulse power rating (10/1000 µs waveform) supports robust immunity to automotive and industrial surge events.
Thermal performance is defined by 75°C/W junction-to-ambient and 15°C/W junction-to-lead resistance, enabling sustained operation up to 175°C junction temperature. The device meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, ensuring reliability in automated SMT assembly and harsh environments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAC30CA (Littelfuse) | Same DO-214AB package, 30 V VWM, but 49.9 V VC @ 60 A; slightly higher clamping voltage | Marginally reduced protection level for sensitive 3.3 V or 5 V logic interfaces | Select when UL 94V-0 and J-STD-020 Level 1 compliance are secondary to cost-sensitive volume production |
| P6SMB30CA (ON Semiconductor) | DO-214AA (SMB) package, lower 2000 W PPK rating, 50.0 V VC @ 40 A | Insufficient for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load-dump; limited to lower-energy ESD-only applications | Choose only for space-constrained designs where 3000 W rating is not required and SMB footprint is preferred |
Compared with SAC30CA and P6SMB30CA, the SMDJ30CA delivers superior 3000 W surge handling and tighter 48.4 V clamping in the industry-standard DO-214AB package, making it optimal for automotive and industrial systems requiring full ISO 7637-2 immunity without layout redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMDJ30CA under rated surge conditions?
The SMDJ30CA has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 48.4 V at 62.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured using the 10/1000 µs waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a 3000 W transient event. The SMDJ30CA maintains this clamping performance due to its glass-passivated junction and low dynamic impedance.
Is the SMDJ30CA suitable for automotive load-dump protection per ISO 7637-2?
Yes, the SMDJ30CA is explicitly validated for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b, including load-dump simulation (Pulse 5a). Its 3000 W peak power rating, 48.4 V clamping voltage, and 175°C junction rating make it appropriate for 12 V automotive systems such as body control modules. The SMDJ30CA's DO-214AB package provides sufficient thermal mass to absorb repeated load-dump events without degradation.
How does the bidirectional configuration of the SMDJ30CA affect its placement on the PCB?
The SMDJ30CA's bidirectional design eliminates polarity sensitivity, allowing placement across any two nodes requiring transient suppression-such as AC signal lines, floating DC buses, or differential pairs-without regard to cathode band orientation. While the DO-214AB package retains the cathode band marking for consistency with unidirectional variants, it serves no functional role in the SMDJ30CA. This simplifies layout and reduces BOM complexity in mixed-signal systems.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of the SMDJ30CA and what does it mean for manufacturing?
The SMDJ30CA is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions (≤30°C/60% RH) without baking prior to reflow soldering. This eliminates pre-conditioning steps in SMT lines, reduces floor-life tracking overhead, and supports just-in-time assembly. The Level 1 rating results from hermetic molding and glass passivation, which prevent moisture ingress into the silicon junction during reflow thermal profiles.
Does the SMDJ30CA meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the SMDJ30CA is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives, and all terminations use matte tin plating without lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, or polybrominated biphenyls. These certifications are verified through TSC's material declarations and third-party lab testing, supporting compliance in EU, China, and other regulated markets.
