Littelfuse TVS alternative & cross-reference

TVS & ESD → AMSEMI, same series, same package

A Littelfuse TVS alternative request comes with a hard constraint: the board is frozen and the pad is fixed. That is exactly why the series name matters — SMBJ is SMB on every brand, and AMSEMI makes SMBJ in SMB. Same series, same package, same footprint, no layout change. Where Littelfuse uses a package we do not build in, we say so instead of offering the next size up.

The rule we do not break

Same package, or no quote. A replacement has to fit the pad that is already on your board. That means SMBJ is replaced by SMBJ in SMB, SMCJ by SMCJ in SMC, and P6KE by P6KE in DO-15. We will not offer you a 5000 W SMC part for a 600 W SMB footprint and call it a drop-in — that is a board respin, not a replacement. If we do not build the part in your package, we say so.

TVS: same series name, therefore same package

These series names are industry-standard — onsemi, Littelfuse, Vishay, NXP and AMSEMI all build SMAJ in SMA and SMBJ in SMB. Same name means same pad. Peak power and stand-off range are AMSEMI figures from AMSEMI datasheets.

Questions engineers actually ask

Is an AMSEMI SMBJ a drop-in for a Littelfuse SMBJ?

Yes. SMBJ is an industry-standard series name, the package is SMB on both sides, and the pad geometry is defined by the package, not the brand. What changes is the clamp voltage, which we publish from AMSEMI datasheets, and availability.

Will you offer me a 5.0SMDJ when I asked for an SMBJ?

No. 5.0SMDJ is SMC — a physically larger pad. That is a board respin, not a replacement, and we will not dress it up as one. If you want the lower clamp of the foldback family you have to change the pad to SMC, and we will say that plainly.

Littelfuse publishes 8/20 µs figures on some families. Can I compare them with yours?

Not directly. Our figures are 10/1000 µs, and the two waveforms are not convertible by a single factor. Compare percentage clamp reduction within the same waveform, or ask us for the equivalent waveform.

Do you carry axial TVS as well as surface mount?

Yes — P4KE in DO-41, P6KE in DO-15 and 1.5KE in DO-201, up to 342 V stand-off. Stock depth on axial parts is thinner than on SMBJ / SMDJ, so confirm the quantity on the quote.

What about Littelfuse fuses and varistors?

Not our line. We are a semiconductor distributor; if your BOM line is a fuse or a MOV, we will tell you we cannot help rather than substitute a TVS for it.

What is the lead time?

Stocked bands ship in 1–3 days. Non-stocked voltages and automotive grades are made to order, typically 8–10 weeks, confirmed per series and quantity.
