Product details
Overview
SMB10J14AHE3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for high-energy surge protection on power and signal lines. It features a 14 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 15.6–17.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR at 1 mA), 23.2 V clamping voltage (VC) at 43.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), targeting automotive and industrial electronics subject to inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J14AHE3/5B datasheet, SMB10J14AHE3/5B pinout, SMB10J14AHE3/5B application, or SMB10J14AHE3/5B equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W), polarity marking convention, and real-world use context for ESD/surge protection design validation.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that remains non-conductive below VWM = 14 V and rapidly transitions to low-impedance conduction above VBR (min 15.6 V), limiting transient voltages to ≤23.2 V at 43.1 A. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and fast response time (<1 ns).
Designed per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards, it handles non-repetitive 10/1000 µs surges up to 1000 W with low incremental surge resistance and meets MSL level 1 (260 °C reflow). AEC-Q101 qualification confirms suitability for automotive under-hood and infotainment systems requiring robust transient immunity.
Key Specifications

| VWM | 14 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage begins |
| VBR (min/max) | 15.6 V / 17.2 V at 1 mA - Voltage range where device enters avalanche breakdown, defining turn-on threshold |
| VC @ IPPM | 23.2 V at 43.1 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, directly limiting stress on downstream ICs |
| PPPM | 1000 W - Peak pulse power handling capability, enabling protection against high-energy transients like ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a |
| IFSM | 100 A - Surge current rating for 8.3 ms half-sine wave, supporting load-dump immunity in 12 V automotive systems |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature, allowing operation in under-hood environments with minimal derating |
| RθJA | 72 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to ambient on standard 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads, guiding PCB thermal layout |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ14A-E3/52 | Same VWM/VC/PPPM, but commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), RoHS-compliant only | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for consumer/industrial designs without automotive lifecycle or reliability mandates | Select SMBJ14A-E3/52 when AEC-Q101 is not required and cost optimization is prioritized |
| SMCJ14AHE3_A/H | Higher PPPM = 1500 W, larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same VWM/VC specs | Used where higher surge energy absorption is needed (e.g., 24 V industrial systems), requiring PCB layout change due to larger footprint | Choose SMCJ14AHE3_A/H if system-level testing reveals 1000 W insufficient for worst-case ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a events |
Compared with SMBJ14A-E3/52, SMB10J14AHE3/5B adds AEC-Q101 qualification and tighter thermal performance (RθJA = 72 vs. ~85 °C/W), while SMCJ14AHE3_A/H trades compact SMB size for 50 % higher surge capacity-requiring board redesign but enabling single-event survivability in harsher environments.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J14AHE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J14AHE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 23.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 43.1 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMB10J14AHE3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is SMB10J14AHE3/5B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J14AHE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designated for automotive use via its "HE3" suffix, confirming compliance with stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and surge immunity. It is deployed in engine control units, infotainment systems, and ADAS sensors where reliable transient suppression is mandated. The SMB10J14AHE3/5B meets MSL level 1 and supports lead-free reflow, aligning with automotive manufacturing standards.
What does the "5B" in SMB10J14AHE3/5B indicate?
The "5B" in SMB10J14AHE3/5B denotes the packaging configuration: 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, containing 3200 units per reel. This differs from "52", which indicates a 7-inch reel with 750 units. The "HE3" suffix confirms RoHS-compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification, while "SMB10J14A" identifies the base device with 14 V stand-off voltage. The SMB10J14AHE3/5B thus specifies full traceable, automotive-grade packaging for high-volume SMT assembly.
How does SMB10J14AHE3/5B differ from bidirectional variants like SMB10J14CAHE3/5B?
SMB10J14AHE3/5B is unidirectional, featuring a cathode band for polarity-sensitive placement and optimized for DC line protection where reverse conduction is undesirable. In contrast, SMB10J14CAHE3/5B is bidirectional, lacking polarity marking and capable of clamping both positive and negative transients-used in AC-coupled or floating signal lines. Their VWM, VBR, and VC values differ: SMB10J14AHE3/5B has VWM = 14 V, while SMB10J14CAHE3/5B has VWM = 14 V symmetrically, but lower PPPM (800 W vs. 1000 W).
What is the thermal resistance of SMB10J14AHE3/5B and how does it affect PCB layout?
The SMB10J14AHE3/5B has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 72 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes minimum recommended pad layout per Vishay specification; reducing pad area increases RθJA, risking thermal saturation during repeated surges. To maintain reliability, designers must allocate adequate copper area and avoid excessive trace length or isolation around the SMB10J14AHE3/5B footprint.
