SMBJ60A-13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SMBJ60A-13 is a unidirectional Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated in SMB (DO-214AA) surface mount package. This component is designed for general-purpose transient voltage suppression applications with a 60V reverse standoff voltage and 96.8V maximum clamping voltage. The SMBJ60A-13 is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SMBJ60A-13 are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

• Reverse standoff voltage within 60V specification
• Breakdown voltage minimum of 66.7V or higher
• Clamping voltage maximum of 96.8V or lower
• Peak pulse current rating of 6.2A or higher
• Peak pulse power rating of 600W
• Surface mount package compatibility (SMB or equivalent footprint)
• Operating temperature range covering -55°C to 150°C
• Single unidirectional channel configuration

Substitutes are grouped into two categories: direct electrical equivalents with identical electrical specifications, and manufacturer-recommended alternatives with comparable performance characteristics within the allowed parameter ranges.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: SMBJ60A-13-F (Diodes Incorporated)

The SMBJ60A-13-F is the direct equivalent of the SMBJ60A-13 with identical electrical specifications and SMB package compatibility. This part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance, making it the preferred substitute for new designs and production continuity. The tape and reel packaging format supports automated assembly processes.

Secondary Substitute: SMBJ60A (MDD)

The SMBJ60A from MDD manufacturer provides identical electrical performance and package compatibility with the original part. This option offers high inventory availability and ROHS3 compliance. Operating temperature range extends to -50°C minimum, which covers the original -55°C specification for most applications.

Alternative Substitute: PTVS58VP1UP,115 (Nexperia USA Inc.)

The PTVS58VP1UP,115 is a manufacturer-recommended alternative with comparable electrical characteristics within allowed parameter ranges. This part features a 58V standoff voltage (2V lower than original), 93.6V clamping voltage (3.2V lower), and slightly higher peak pulse current (6.4A). The SOD-128 package requires PCB layout modification. This option includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SMBJ60A-13-F be used as a direct replacement for SMBJ60A-13?

A: Yes. The SMBJ60A-13-F provides identical electrical specifications and SMB package footprint compatibility. The primary difference is product status (active vs. discontinued) and RoHS compliance level.

Q: What is the difference between SMBJ60A-13-F and SMBJ60A from MDD?

A: Both parts have identical electrical specifications and SMB package compatibility. The differences are manufacturer source and minimum operating temperature (-55°C for Diodes vs. -50°C for MDD). For applications requiring -55°C operation, SMBJ60A-13-F is the appropriate choice.

Q: Is PTVS58VP1UP,115 a suitable replacement?

A: The PTVS58VP1UP,115 operates within allowed parameter ranges with 2V lower standoff voltage and 3.2V lower clamping voltage. However, it uses SOD-128 package instead of SMB, requiring PCB redesign. This option is suitable only when package change is acceptable and automotive qualification is required.

Q: What packaging format should I specify for automated assembly?

A: SMBJ60A-13-F is available in tape and reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated pick-and-place assembly. SMBJ60A from MDD may require verification of packaging availability with the supplier.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance considerations for part selection?

A: The original SMBJ60A-13 is RoHS non-compliant. Both SMBJ60A-13-F and SMBJ60A are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental regulations for new production.
