Product details
Overview
SMDJ9.0CA from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, designed for high-energy surge protection in DC power lines and signal interfaces. It features 9.0 V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 10.0–11.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 15.4 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 194.9 A peak pulse current, and 3000 W peak pulse power rating on 10/1000 µs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the SMDJ9.0CA datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, low leakage (10 µA @ VRWM), fast response time (<1.0 ps), thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W), and compliance with J-STD-020 MSL Level 1.
Technical Context
The SMDJ9.0CA operates as a silicon avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, enabling precise voltage clamping during ESD and lightning-induced transients. Its bidirectional configuration allows symmetrical suppression of positive and negative polarity surges without external polarity management.
Designed for surface-mount use on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads, it delivers 3000 W peak pulse power with 0.01% duty cycle repetition rate and exhibits a temperature coefficient of ΔVBR = 0.1% × VBR per °C change from 25 °C.

| VRWM | 9.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR @ IT=1 mA | 10.0–11.1 V - Confirmed breakdown range ensuring reliable turn-on under surge conditions |
| VC @ IPPM | 15.4 V - Clamping voltage at 194.9 A, limiting downstream voltage stress during 10/1000 µs transients |
| PPPM | 3000 W - Peak pulse power handling on standard 10/1000 µs waveform, critical for IEC 61000-4-5 compliance |
| IR @ VRWM | 10.0 µA - Low reverse leakage preserves system standby power integrity |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature enabling operation in industrial ambient environments |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - Thermal resistance to ambient on standard PCB layout, guiding heatsinking requirements |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AB (SMC J-Bend) surface-mount package with molded plastic case and matte tin lead-free plating. Cathode band denotes polarity for unidirectional variants; bidirectional SMDJ9.0CA has no functional polarity marking and conducts identically in both directions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode / Cathode | Bidirectional surge conduction path | Both terminals serve as symmetrical clamping nodes - no fixed anode/cathode assignment; identical electrical behavior in either direction |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAC9.0 | Unidirectional only; same VRWM/VBR/VC but lacks bidirectional symmetry | Requires explicit polarity orientation; unsuitable for AC-coupled or floating signal lines | Select only when circuit topology guarantees consistent polarity and space constraints favor smaller SOD-123FL footprint |
| SMCJ9.0CA | Identical electrical specs and DO-214AB package; differs only in branding and traceability (ON Semiconductor vs. AOS) | No functional difference; validated drop-in replacement per manufacturer cross-reference | Preferred when supply chain diversification or legacy BOM alignment with ON Semi is required |
Compared with SAC9.0, SMDJ9.0CA enables polarity-agnostic placement and simplifies layout; versus SMCJ9.0CA, it offers identical performance with AOS-specific quality and RoHS/Halogen-free compliance documentation.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SMDJ9.0CA under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMDJ9.0CA clamps to a maximum of 15.4 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 194.9 A on a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events, ensuring downstream components remain within safe operating limits.
Is the SMDJ9.0CA suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
Yes, the SMDJ9.0CA is explicitly designed as a bidirectional TVS diode, with identical electrical characteristics in both polarities. Its CA suffix confirms symmetrical breakdown and clamping behavior, making it appropriate for protecting AC-coupled interfaces, differential buses like RS-485, or any floating node where voltage polarity reversal may occur.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the SMDJ9.0CA?
The SMDJ9.0CA has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +150 °C, verified per AOS datasheet Rev. 1.2. This rating allows reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as engine compartments, industrial enclosures, or sealed power supplies where thermal management is constrained.
Does the SMDJ9.0CA meet lead-free and RoHS requirements?
Yes, the SMDJ9.0CA is a certified AOS Green Product: lead-free, RoHS compliant, and halogen-free per AOS Green Policy. Its matte tin lead finish and DO-214AB package conform to J-STD-020 MSL Level 1, supporting Pb-free reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260 °C without preconditioning.
How does the SMDJ9.0CA compare to the unidirectional SMDJ9.0A in terms of application flexibility?
The SMDJ9.0CA provides full bidirectional clamping, eliminating polarity-dependent placement and enabling use on AC signals or floating rails; the SMDJ9.0A requires correct cathode orientation and only protects against one polarity of surge. For designs with uncertain or reversing voltage transients, SMDJ9.0CA offers superior robustness and layout simplicity.
