Product details
Overview
3KASMC24HE3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) designed for high-energy surge clamping in automotive and industrial power rails. It delivers 3000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), clamps at 38.9 V under 77.1 A surge current, and operates up to 185 °C junction temperature - enabling robust protection of MOSFETs and ICs against inductive switching transients in engine control units and motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the 3KASMC24HE3/57T datasheet, 3KASMC24HE3/57T pinout, 3KASMC24HE3/57T application, or 3KASMC24HE3/57T equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-214AB (SMC) package compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification, 24 V stand-off voltage, low 1.0 μA leakage at VWM, and thermal resistance of 77.5 °C/W (junction-to-ambient).
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for high-temperature stability and fast response (<1 ns), with clamping performance validated per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. Its unidirectional polarity and 26.7–29.5 V breakdown range (VBR) ensure precise overvoltage thresholding for 24 V nominal systems.
The device is rated for 200 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), supports MSL Level 1 reflow (260 °C peak), and features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 - confirming suitability for automated SMT assembly in automotive-grade production.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 24 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; matches 24 V system rail tolerance. |
| VBR (min/max) | 26.7 V / 29.5 V at 1.0 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold ensures reliable turn-on margin above VWM. |
| PPPM | 3000 W (10/1000 μs) - Enables suppression of high-energy transients like ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a without failure. |
| VC @ IPPM | 38.9 V at 77.1 A - Clamping voltage stays within safe SOA limits for downstream 40 V-rated MOSFETs and controllers. |
| IR @ VWM | 1.0 μA - Negligible leakage preserves battery drain budget in always-on automotive modules. |
| TJ max. | 185 °C - Supports operation in under-hood environments without derating in most PCB layouts. |
| RθJA | 77.5 °C/W - Predictable thermal rise on standard 1 oz copper pads enables accurate junction temp estimation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AB (SMC), surface-mount, cathode indicated by color band. Dimensions: 6.22 mm × 5.59 mm × 2.90 mm (L × W × H), RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side connection to protected circuit ground or return path | Accepts surge current during clamping; must be routed with low-inductance trace to minimize VL overshoot. |
| Cathode | High-side connection to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail) | Connected via shortest possible path to source of transient; color band identifies this terminal. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTOL, TCT, and ESD - eliminates need for additional qualification effort. |
| 185 °C junction rating | Enables direct placement near heat sources (e.g., power inductors, MOSFETs) without thermal derating in engine bay applications. |
| 3000 W peak pulse power | Withstands multiple ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a events (100 V, 500 ms) without degradation when mounted per recommended pad layout. |
| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Allows unlimited floor life and standard reflow profile (peak 260 °C) without baking - reduces manufacturing overhead. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes clamping voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients (e.g., relay coil flyback), improving protection margin. |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial Motor Drive Power Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of 24 V supply rail against load dump and inductive kickback from fuel injector solenoids. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between battery input and DC-DC converter input stage.

Use Scenario: Protecting thermostat interface circuits and relay coils from back-EMF in 24 V HVAC control panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS installed across relay coil terminals to absorb energy and extend contact life. Use Value: 200 A IFSM rating handles repeated 8.3 ms surges without parameter shift - critical for daily cycling reliability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A | Lower PPPM (400 W), higher VC (38.9 V same, but lower IPPM = 10.3 A), DO-214AC (SMA) package | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; limited to consumer/industrial use below 150 °C | Select only if cost-sensitive, non-automotive, and surge energy is <10% of 3KASMC24HE3/57T capability. |
| SMCJ24A | Same DO-214AB package and 3000 W rating, but VBR min/max = 26.7–29.5 V identical; not AEC-Q101 qualified per datasheet | Lacks automotive qualification documentation; may require customer requalification for automotive programs | Use where AEC-Q101 is not mandated but mechanical and electrical specs match exactly. |
Compared with SMAJ24A and SMCJ24A, the 3KASMC24HE3/57T provides guaranteed AEC-Q101 compliance, 185 °C operation, and MSL Level 1 handling - making it the only choice for production automotive ECUs without added validation burden.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 3KASMC24HE3/57T under maximum surge conditions?
The 3KASMC24HE3/57T clamps to 38.9 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 77.1 A (10/1000 μs waveform). This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 05-Mar-13, ensuring predictable overvoltage limiting for 40 V-rated downstream components. The 3KASMC24HE3/57T maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the 3KASMC24HE3/57T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the 3KASMC24HE3/57T is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as stated in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 89962). It has passed stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD - making it approved for use in engine control units, body control modules, and other automotive electronic systems requiring zero-defect reliability.
What package does the 3KASMC24HE3/57T use, and what are its key mounting requirements?
The 3KASMC24HE3/57T uses the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package, with dimensions of 6.22 mm × 5.59 mm × 2.90 mm. Vishay specifies a minimum pad layout for optimal thermal and surge performance, and the device meets MSL Level 1 - allowing standard reflow profiles with 260 °C peak temperature. The cathode is marked by a color band on the 3KASMC24HE3/57T body.
How does the 3KASMC24HE3/57T compare to standard SMAJ-series TVS diodes?
The 3KASMC24HE3/57T delivers 3000 W peak pulse power versus 400 W for SMAJ24A, uses the larger DO-214AB (not DO-214AC) package for better thermal dissipation, and is AEC-Q101 qualified - whereas SMAJ24A is not. The 3KASMC24HE3/57T also supports 185 °C operation and MSL Level 1, making it unsuitable for direct substitution in legacy SMAJ footprints or non-automotive designs.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of the 3KASMC24HE3/57T at its stand-off voltage?
The 3KASMC24HE3/57T exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 1.0 μA at its 24 V stand-off voltage (VWM) and 25 °C ambient temperature, as specified in the Vishay datasheet. This ultra-low leakage remains stable up to 150 °C (5.0 μA), supporting energy-efficient always-on automotive modules where standby current budgets are tightly constrained.
