SMCJ130 Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SMCJ130 is a unidirectional Zener-type transient voltage suppressor diode in DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount package, rated for 130V reverse standoff voltage with 1500W peak pulse power handling. Manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., this component is classified as obsolete product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (1500W Power Rating): SMCJ130A (Meritek), SMCJ130A-13-F (Diodes Incorporated), SMCJ130A-TP (Micro Commercial Co), TV15C131J-G (Comchip Technology), and SMCJ130AE3/TR13 (Microchip Technology) provide electrical equivalence to the original SMCJ130. All are active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical 130V reverse standoff voltage. SMCJ130A-TP and SMCJ130AE3/TR13 offer extended operating temperature ranges (-55 to 175°C and -65 to 150°C respectively), suitable for applications requiring broader thermal performance.

For Enhanced Power Handling (3000W Power Rating): SMLJ130A (Bourns Inc.), SMLJ130A-TP (Micro Commercial Co), and TV30C131J-G (Comchip Technology) double the peak pulse power capacity to 3000W while maintaining the 130V reverse standoff voltage and DO-214AB package. These are appropriate for applications requiring higher transient energy absorption. SMLJ130A-TP provides extended temperature range to 175°C.

For Variant Clamping Voltage: SMCJ130E3/TR13 (Microchip Technology) offers 231V maximum clamping voltage with reduced peak pulse current (6.5A) and maintains 1500W power rating. This variant is suitable for applications where higher clamping voltage is acceptable and lower current handling is sufficient.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Product status is active for all substitutes, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SMCJ130A directly replace SMCJ130? A: Yes. SMCJ130A maintains the critical electrical parameters: 130V reverse standoff voltage, 209V clamping voltage, 7.18A peak pulse current, 1500W power rating, and identical DO-214AB surface mount package. All are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the difference between SMCJ130A and SMLJ130A? A: Both maintain 130V reverse standoff and 209V clamping voltage. SMLJ130A provides double the peak pulse current (14.4A vs 7.2A) and double the power rating (3000W vs 1500W). Use SMLJ130A when higher transient energy absorption is required.

Q: Are TV15C131J-G and TV30C131J-G compatible with SMCJ130? A: TV15C131J-G is electrically equivalent to SMCJ130 (7.18A, 1500W). TV30C131J-G provides enhanced power handling (14.35A, 3000W). Both maintain 130V reverse standoff voltage and DO-214AB package compatibility.

Q: Does operating temperature range affect substitution? A: Operating temperature range does not prevent substitution if the application operates within the substitute part's specified range. SMCJ130A-TP and SMLJ130A-TP extend to 175°C; SMCJ130AE3/TR13 extends to -65°C minimum. Verify application requirements before selection.

Q: Can SMCJ130E3/TR13 replace SMCJ130? A: SMCJ130E3/TR13 maintains 130V reverse standoff voltage and 1500W power rating but offers higher clamping voltage (231V vs 219.45V) and lower peak pulse current (6.5A vs 7.2A). Substitution is valid if the application tolerates higher clamping voltage and lower current handling.

Q: What packaging options are available? A: All substitute parts use DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount package, identical to SMCJ130. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is available for most variants; verify specific packaging requirements with manufacturer datasheets.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original SMCJ130 specifications.
