Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for SMAJ30A should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Review SMAJ30CA first; verify polarity, pinout, leakage, and temperature.

Main risk

Polarity is not explicit for the target and SMAJ30CA is bidirectional.
