Product details
Overview
SMB10J11HE3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection on power and signal lines. It features a 11 V standoff voltage (VWM), 12.2–13.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 18.2 V clamping voltage (VC) at 54.9 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1000 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 µs waveform. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used to protect automotive ECUs, industrial sensor interfaces, and DC power rails against ESD and load dump transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J11HE3/5B datasheet, SMB10J11HE3/5B pinout, SMB10J11HE3/5B application, or SMB10J11HE3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surges, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, responding within <1 ps to transient overvoltages. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<5 µA at VWM), while its low incremental surge resistance enables effective energy diversion during fast-rising transients such as ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a or IEC 61000-4-5 surges.
The device is rated for continuous operation from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (peak reflow ≤260 °C). Its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and the HE3 suffix confirms AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 11 V - maximum reverse working voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating range for protected circuit |
| VBR (min/max) | 12.2 V / 13.5 V at 1 mA - guaranteed avalanche onset window; ensures predictable turn-on across temperature and lot |
| VC @ IPPM | 18.2 V at 54.9 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress on downstream ICs |
| PPPM | 1000 W - peak pulse power handling capability; supports robust protection against automotive load dump events |
| RθJA | 72 °C/W - thermal resistance junction-to-ambient; requires ≥5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad per terminal for full rating |
| TJ max | 150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables use in under-hood automotive environments |
| Leakage ID | ≤5 µA at VWM - minimal standby power loss and signal integrity impact on low-power sensor lines |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AA (SMB), surface-mount, unidirectional configuration with cathode band marking on one end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction path | Connected to protected line's lower-potential side (e.g., GND or return); conducts during forward surge |
| Cathode | Avalanche clamping node | Connected to protected line's higher-potential side (e.g., VCC or signal rail); initiates clamping when reverse voltage exceeds VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ11A-E3/5B | Same DO-214AA package and 11 V VWM, but not AEC-Q101 qualified; RθJA = 75 °C/W vs. 72 °C/W | Intended for commercial/industrial use only; unsuitable for automotive OEM designs requiring qualification evidence | Select SMB10J11HE3/5B when AEC-Q101 compliance and tighter thermal resistance are mandatory |
| 1.5SMC11A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), larger DO-214AB (SMC) package (7.11 mm × 6.22 mm), same VWM/VBR/VC specs | Requires PCB layout change due to larger footprint and higher mounting pad area (≥10 mm² per terminal) | Choose 1.5SMC11A only when >1000 W surge margin is required and board space allows larger package |
Compared with SMBJ11A-E3/5B, SMB10J11HE3/5B delivers certified automotive reliability and marginally better thermal performance; versus 1.5SMC11A, it offers identical electrical protection in a smaller, more compact SMB footprint-critical for dense automotive PCBs.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J11HE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J11HE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 18.2 V when subjected to its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 54.9 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C with devices mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal, and it defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMB10J11HE3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is SMB10J11HE3/5B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J11HE3/5B is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, making it suitable for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, infotainment systems, and ADAS sensor modules. Its construction-including glass-passivated junction, matte tin plating meeting JESD 201 Class 2 whisker requirements, and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility-meets stringent automotive reliability standards. The SMB10J11HE3/5B data sheet confirms qualification per AEC-Q101 Rev D test conditions.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in SMB10J11HE3/5B?
The "HE3" suffix in SMB10J11HE3/5B denotes two critical attributes: "H" signifies AEC-Q101 qualification, and "E3" indicates RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing. Together, HE3 certifies that the SMB10J11HE3/5B meets automotive-grade reliability requirements for solderability, long-term stability, and resistance to tin whisker formation-distinct from commercial-grade "E3" variants like SMBJ11A-E3/5B.
How does SMB10J11HE3/5B differ from SMBJ11A-E3/5B?
SMB10J11HE3/5B and SMBJ11A-E3/5B share identical electrical parameters (VWM = 11 V, VBR = 12.2–13.5 V, VC = 18.2 V) and DO-214AA package dimensions, but differ in qualification and thermal performance: SMB10J11HE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified and has RθJA = 72 °C/W, whereas SMBJ11A-E3/5B is commercial-grade with RθJA = 75 °C/W. The SMB10J11HE3/5B is therefore required for automotive OEM designs, while SMBJ11A-E3/5B serves cost-sensitive industrial applications.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for SMB10J11HE3/5B to achieve full power rating?
To achieve the full 1000 W peak pulse power rating, SMB10J11HE3/5B must be mounted on minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads connected to internal or external thermal planes. The datasheet specifies this layout for thermal derating curves and IPPM ratings. Smaller pads reduce heat dissipation, lowering surge current capability and increasing junction temperature-potentially causing premature failure during repeated transients. The SMB10J11HE3/5B thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W) is validated only with this pad size.
