Product details
Overview
3KASMC30HE3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) in DO-214AB (SMC) package, rated for 30 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 33.3–36.8 V breakdown (VBR), 3000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 48.4 V clamping voltage at 62.0 A IPPM, and 185 °C maximum junction temperature - deployed for automotive power line and sensor signal line surge protection.
For engineers reviewing the 3KASMC30HE3/57T datasheet, 3KASMC30HE3/57T pinout, 3KASMC30HE3/57T application, or 3KASMC30HE3/57T equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, thermal resistance (RθJA = 77.5 °C/W), and compatibility with standard SMC PCB footprints and reflow profiles up to 260 °C.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for high-temperature stability and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional architecture provides forward conduction during overvoltage events while maintaining tight clamping (VC = 48.4 V at IPPM = 62.0 A) and fast response time.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, it operates across –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range, meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, and sustains 200 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine). The device is qualified to AEC-Q101 and RoHS-compliant with matte tin-plated leads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 30 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin for 24 V automotive systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 33.3 V / 36.8 V at IT = 1.0 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold ensures reliable turn-on during transients without premature conduction. |
| PPPM | 3000 W (10/1000 µs) - Sustains high-energy surges common in load-dump and ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a events. |
| VC @ IPPM | 48.4 V at 62.0 A - Clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress; compatible with 40 V-rated MOSFETs and controllers. |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - Enables placement near hot components (e.g., power converters, engine control units) without derating. |
| RθJA | 77.5 °C/W - Thermal resistance measured on minimum recommended pad layout; informs heatsinking requirements for sustained surge duty. |
| IR @ VWM | 1.0 µA - Low leakage preserves battery life in always-on automotive modules (e.g., CAN nodes, body controllers). |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AB (SMC), surface-mount, cathode indicated by color band. Dimensions: 6.22 mm × 5.59 mm × 2.41 mm (L × W × H); lead pitch 5.59 mm; matte tin-plated terminals solderable per J-STD-002.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry terminal during clamping | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail or sensor output); must withstand 200 A surge (8.3 ms) without bond wire failure. |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased terminal; clamping reference node | Marked by color band; tied to ground or lower-potential rail; establishes precise VBR and VC thresholds. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood and powertrain applications per stress test conditions including HTOL, TCT, and ESD. |
| Junction passivation | Optimized die surface treatment prevents moisture-induced degradation and leakage drift at 150 °C and 85 % RH. |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Zero floor life limitation; supports standard SMT reflow up to 260 °C peak without preconditioning or baking. |
| Low RSURGE | Minimal incremental surge resistance ensures stable clamping voltage across wide current range (10–62 A). |
| Uni-directional polarity | Enables integration into DC-biased circuits (e.g., LIN bus, 12/24 V power rails) without reverse conduction path concerns. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ30A | Lower PPPM (400 W), higher RθJA (110 °C/W), same DO-214AC (SMA) package - not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Restricted to consumer/industrial use; unsuitable for automotive underhood due to temperature and qualification gaps. | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs where 3000 W surge immunity is not required. |
| SMCJ30A | Same DO-214AB (SMC) package and 3000 W rating, but VBR min = 33.3 V (identical), VC = 48.4 V (identical); AEC-Q101 qualified variant available (SMCJ30AHM3). | Functionally interchangeable in automotive applications; differs only in branding and minor process optimization. | Consider SMCJ30AHM3/57T if dual-source procurement or second-source validation is mandated by OEM design rules. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 3KASMC30HE3/57T at its rated peak pulse current?
The 3KASMC30HE3/57T has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 48.4 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 62.0 A using a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream 40 V-rated components. The 3KASMC30HE3/57T maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the 3KASMC30HE3/57T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the 3KASMC30HE3/57T is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature, making it suitable for underhood and powertrain applications. It meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and is RoHS-compliant with matte tin-plated leads. The 3KASMC30HE3/57T is explicitly listed in Vishay's AEC-Q101 qualified product matrix for transient voltage suppression.
What package type does the 3KASMC30HE3/57T use, and what are its key mechanical features?
The 3KASMC30HE3/57T uses the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package, measuring 6.22 mm × 5.59 mm × 2.41 mm. It features a cathode identification band, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and a UL 94 V-0 molding compound. The 3KASMC30HE3/57T is designed for standard reflow profiles with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C and requires the minimum pad layout specified in Vishay document 89962.
How does the 3KASMC30HE3/57T compare to standard SMAJ-series TVS diodes?
The 3KASMC30HE3/57T delivers 3000 W peak pulse power (vs. 400 W for SMAJ30A), lower thermal resistance (77.5 °C/W vs. ~110 °C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification - unlike SMAJ30A. Its DO-214AB package supports higher surge handling than DO-214AC. The 3KASMC30HE3/57T also incorporates junction passivation for improved high-temperature leakage stability, a feature not present in standard SMAJ devices.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of the 3KASMC30HE3/57T at its stand-off voltage?
The 3KASMC30HE3/57T exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 µA at its 30 V stand-off voltage (VWM) and 25 °C ambient temperature. At elevated temperatures (e.g., TJ = 150 °C), IR remains ≤15 µA - a critical parameter for low-power automotive modules where quiescent current budgets are tightly constrained. This leakage performance is verified per the electrical characteristics table in Vishay document 89962.
