Product details
Overview
SMB10J14AHE3_B/I 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 a 14 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 15.6–17.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 43.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps transients to ≤23.2 V - used in automotive power supply inputs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J14AHE3_B/I datasheet, SMB10J14AHE3_B/I pinout, SMB10J14AHE3_B/I application, or SMB10J14AHE3_B/I equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, low incremental surge resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping-type overvoltage protector, leveraging an avalanche breakdown mechanism to divert surge energy away from sensitive downstream circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and long-term reliability under repetitive surge stress.
Designed for automotive-grade applications, SMB10J14AHE3_B/I meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements and supports operation across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. Its MSL Level 1 rating and 260 °C lead-free reflow compatibility enable robust manufacturing integration without moisture sensitivity concerns.
Key Specifications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-level TVS on main power entry, coordinated with MOVs and gas discharge tubes. Use Value: Delivers 1000 W surge handling with low clamping ratio (VC/VWM = 1.66), reducing stress on secondary protection stages. |
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 (14 V), same SMB package, but rated for 600 W PPPM (vs. 1000 W) | Lower surge capacity limits use to less severe environments (e.g., non-automotive consumer) | Select SMB10J14AHE3_B/I when full 1000 W surge immunity per IEC 61000-4-5 is required |
| SMCJ14AHE3_A/H | Same VWM and AEC-Q101 qualification, but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package with 1500 W rating | Requires larger PCB footprint; better suited for higher-energy systems like ADAS domain controllers | Choose SMB10J14AHE3_B/I where space-constrained SMB layout is mandatory and 1000 W suffices |
Compared with SMBJ14A-E3/52 and SMCJ14AHE3_A/H, SMB10J14AHE3_B/I uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, 1000 W surge capability, and SMB footprint - making it optimal for space-limited automotive modules needing certified high-power transient suppression.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J14AHE3_B/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J14AHE3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 23.2 V when subjected to its peak pulse current (IPPM) of 43.1 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at the device's rated 1000 W peak pulse power level and ensures downstream components see limited overvoltage stress during surge events.
Is SMB10J14AHE3_B/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J14AHE3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designated for automotive use via its "HE3" suffix. It undergoes rigorous stress testing including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and humidity bias, making it appropriate for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What does the "_B/I" suffix mean in SMB10J14AHE3_B/I?
The "_B/I" suffix in SMB10J14AHE3_B/I indicates packaging configuration: "B" denotes the revision level (Revision B), and "I" specifies 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel delivery containing 3200 units - per Vishay's ordering nomenclature in Document 88422.
How does SMB10J14AHE3_B/I differ from bidirectional variants like SMB8J14CA?
SMB10J14AHE3_B/I is unidirectional with cathode marking and optimized for DC rail protection, whereas SMB8J14CA is bidirectional (no polarity marking) and intended for AC or dual-polarity signal lines. SMB10J14AHE3_B/I delivers 1000 W PPPM vs. 800 W for SMB8J14CA, reflecting its higher single-direction surge capability.
What is the thermal resistance of SMB10J14AHE3_B/I, and how does it affect PCB layout?
SMB10J14AHE3_B/I 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. To maintain safe junction temperatures during repeated surges, designers must adhere to this pad layout - undersized copper reduces power handling and risks thermal runaway.
