Product details
Overview
SMDJ58CA from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, designed for high-energy surge protection in DC power lines and data interfaces. It features 58 V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 64.4–71.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 93.6 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 32.1 A peak pulse current, and 3000 W peak pulse power rating on 10/1000 µs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the SMDJ58CA datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, low leakage (<2 µA at VRWM), fast sub-1 ps response time, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly per J-STD-020 MSL Level 1.
Technical Context
The SMDJ58CA operates as a silicon avalanche diode configured for symmetrical bi-directional clamping-enabling protection of AC-coupled or floating signal paths without polarity constraints. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5% typical) and low temperature coefficient (0.1% × VBR/°C), while the DO-214AB package provides strain relief and thermal resistance of 15 °C/W (junction-to-lead).
It delivers 3000 W peak pulse power under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform conditions when mounted on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads, with a maximum operating junction temperature of +150 °C and storage range from –55 °C to +150 °C. Repetition rate is limited to 0.01% duty cycle.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
DO-214AB (SMC) package: molded plastic case with J-bend leads; cathode band denotes polarity for unidirectional variants, but SMDJ58CA is bi-directional and lacks functional polarity marking-both terminals are electrically symmetric.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode / Cathode | Bi-directional avalanche junction terminals | Electrically interchangeable; no fixed anode/cathode-enables AC line or differential signal protection without orientation constraint |
| Lead 1 / Lead 2 | Mounting interface to PCB copper pads | Thermally coupled to 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper areas; junction-to-lead RθJL = 15 °C/W supports high-power dissipation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bi-directional clamping | Enables single-device protection of AC, differential, or floating bus lines without external polarity management |
| Fast response time | <1.0 ps rise time from 0 V to VBR ensures suppression before sensitive ICs experience overvoltage stress |
| Glass passivated junction | Improves long-term reliability and stability of VBR under thermal cycling and humidity exposure |
| MSL Level 1 compliance | Supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C peak without moisture-induced popcorning or delamination |
| UL 94V-0 flammability | Self-extinguishing plastic housing meets safety standards for enclosed industrial and telecom equipment |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAC58CA (Littelfuse) | Same VRWM (58 V), identical DO-214AB package, but lower PPPM (1500 W vs. 3000 W) | Not suitable for high-energy lightning surge zones; limited to IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (2 Ω source) | Select SMDJ58CA when full 3000 W IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance is required. |
| 1.5KE56CA (ON Semiconductor) | Higher VRWM (56 V), axial DO-201 package, same 3000 W rating but slower response (>1 ns) and no MSL1 rating | Requires through-hole mounting and larger board area; unsuitable for high-density SMT designs | Choose SMDJ58CA for surface-mount scalability, thermal performance, and RoHS-compliant reflow compatibility. |
Compared with SAC58CA and 1.5KE56CA, the SMDJ58CA uniquely combines 3000 W surge rating, bi-directional symmetry, sub-1 ps response, and MSL Level 1 suitability-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability SMT applications demanding full IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 immunity.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SMDJ58CA at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMDJ58CA has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 93.6 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 32.1 A, measured under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a full-rated surge event and is critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Is the SMDJ58CA suitable for protecting AC-coupled signal lines?
Yes, the SMDJ58CA is explicitly designed for bi-directional operation and is ideal for protecting AC-coupled or differential signal lines such as LIN, RS-485, or analog sensor outputs. Its symmetrical breakdown characteristic eliminates the need for polarity-aware placement, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count compared to unidirectional TVS solutions.
Does the SMDJ58CA meet lead-free reflow requirements?
Yes, the SMDJ58CA complies with J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 and supports lead-free reflow profiles with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C. Its matte tin lead finish and robust DO-214AB construction prevent solder joint cracking, popcorning, or delamination during standard SMT assembly processes.
How does the thermal resistance of the SMDJ58CA affect its surge handling capability?
The SMDJ58CA has a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 15 °C/W, which directly enables its 3000 W peak pulse rating when mounted on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads. Lower RθJL allows faster heat transfer away from the junction during transient events, preventing thermal runaway and sustaining clamping performance across repeated surges.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the SMDJ58CA at its rated VRWM?
The SMDJ58CA exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 2.0 µA at its reverse standoff voltage (VRWM) of 58.0 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage preserves signal fidelity in high-impedance sensing circuits and minimizes standby power loss in always-on power rail protection schemes.
