Product details
Overview
SMB10J14AHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for high-energy surge protection on DC power rails and signal lines. It features 14 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 15.6–17.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 23.2 V clamping voltage (VC) at 43.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1000 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 µs waveform - used in automotive ECUs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J14AHE3_B/H datasheet, SMB10J14AHE3_B/H pinout, SMB10J14AHE3_B/H application, or SMB10J14AHE3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, unidirectional polarity, low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.48), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping-type overvoltage protector, leveraging an avalanche breakdown mechanism to limit transient voltages before they damage downstream ICs or MOSFETs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), while MSL Level 1 rating supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C peak.
The device is optimized for fast response (<1 ns) to ESD and lightning-induced surges per IEC 61000-4-2/4-5, with thermal resistance RθJA = 72 °C/W enabling reliable operation up to TJ = 150 °C when mounted per recommended pad layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 14 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins |
| VBR min/max | 15.6 V / 17.2 V at IT = 1.0 mA - defines guaranteed avalanche onset range for design margining |
| VC @ IPPM | 23.2 V at 43.1 A - clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs surge |
| PPPM | 1000 W - peak transient energy absorption capability under standardized waveform |

Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial PLC Digital Input |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller GPIOs and CAN transceiver power pins from load-dump and inductive switching transients in vehicle door modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamping TVS placed between 12 V supply rail and ground, triggered within <1 ns of overvoltage event. Use Value: Limits clamped voltage to 23.2 V, ensuring safe operation of 24 V-tolerant MCU I/Os and preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in connected drivers. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding 24 V digital input circuits in programmable logic controllers exposed to field wiring surges and relay coil kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff protector on input front-end, conducting only during >14 V transients while remaining high-impedance during normal 0–24 V signal transitions. Use Value: Maintains <1.0 µA leakage at 14 V, avoiding false triggering in high-impedance sensing circuits while absorbing 1000 W surges without degradation. |
| Automotive Camera Power Supply | Consumer Appliance Motor Driver |
Use Scenario: Shielding image sensor and serializer IC power inputs in rear-view cameras subjected to battery voltage spikes during cold-cranking. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on 5 V or 12 V camera rail, coordinated with upstream fuse and downstream LDO. Use Value: Clamps to 23.2 V within nanoseconds, preserving integrity of 28 V max-rated buck converters and preventing pixel corruption or reset events. | Use Scenario: Protecting gate drivers and bootstrap circuits in washing machine motor inverters from commutation-induced voltage spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS across half-bridge high-side and low-side supply rails to suppress shoot-through-inducing transients. Use Value: Withstands 100 A IFSM, surviving repeated motor startup surges without parametric shift or catastrophic failure. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ14A-E3/52 | Same VWM (14 V), VBR (15.6–17.2 V), VC (23.2 V), but rated for 600 W PPPM and not AEC-Q101 qualified | Commercial-grade only; unsuitable for automotive production without additional qualification | Select when cost-sensitive industrial designs require basic surge protection without automotive certification |
| 1.5SMC14A | Same electrical specs but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; RθJA = 30 °C/W vs. 72 °C/W; higher thermal mass | Better thermal handling in high-ambient environments but requires 30% more PCB area | Choose for high-power industrial systems where board space permits and lower thermal resistance is critical |
Compared with SMBJ14A-E3/52 and 1.5SMC14A, SMB10J14AHE3_B/H delivers automotive-grade reliability in a compact SMB footprint with superior power density (1000 W in DO-214AA), making it optimal for space-constrained ECU designs requiring zero requalification effort.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J14AHE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J14AHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 23.2 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 43.1 A, measured using the 10/1000 µs standard waveform. This value is guaranteed across temperature and ensures protected circuits remain below critical voltage thresholds during surge events. The SMB10J14AHE3_B/H datasheet confirms this parameter under "Electrical Characteristics" for unidirectional devices.
Is SMB10J14AHE3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J14AHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designated for automotive use via its HE3 suffix, indicating RoHS compliance and qualification to stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and accelerated life testing. It is deployed in body control modules, camera power supplies, and sensor interfaces where reliability under vibration, thermal cycling, and voltage transients is mandatory. The SMB10J14AHE3_B/H meets these requirements without derating.
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) and why does it matter for SMB10J14AHE3_B/H?
The standoff voltage (VWM) of SMB10J14AHE3_B/H is 14 V - the maximum DC or continuous reverse voltage the device can block without entering avalanche conduction. This parameter ensures the SMB10J14AHE3_B/H remains non-conductive during normal operation of 12 V automotive or 24 V industrial systems, minimizing leakage and avoiding interference with signal integrity or power efficiency. Exceeding VWM risks premature conduction and thermal runaway.
How does the SMB10J14AHE3_B/H package compare to DO-214AB in thermal performance?
The SMB10J14AHE3_B/H uses the smaller SMB (DO-214AA) package with typical RθJA = 72 °C/W, whereas DO-214AB (e.g., in 1.5SMC14A) offers ~30 °C/W. While the SMB10J14AHE3_B/H achieves higher power density (1000 W in smaller footprint), its higher thermal resistance requires adherence to Vishay's recommended 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads for effective heat dissipation. In thermally constrained layouts, this trade-off favors compactness over passive cooling headroom.
Does SMB10J14AHE3_B/H have polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes, SMB10J14AHE3_B/H is unidirectional and features a visible cathode band on the SMB package body - a dark-colored stripe near one end. Per Vishay's mechanical drawings and datasheet notes, this band identifies the cathode terminal, which must be connected toward the supply rail or signal source to enable proper clamping action. The anode is the opposite end, and no marking appears on bidirectional variants - confirming SMB10J14AHE3_B/H's unidirectional identity.
