Product details
Overview
SMB10J16AHE3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for high-energy surge protection with 16 V standoff voltage (VWM), 17.8–19.7 V breakdown range (VBR), and 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It clamps transients to ≤26.0 V at 38.5 A peak surge current and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive electronics protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J16AHE3_A/H datasheet, SMB10J16AHE3_A/H pinout, SMB10J16AHE3_A/H application, or SMB10J16AHE3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 100 A IFSM surge rating, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, glass-passivated junction, and compliance with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 surge standards.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping device across sensitive IC inputs or power rails, activating when reverse voltage exceeds its VBR threshold to divert surge energy to ground. Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns) ensure effective suppression of ESD, lightning-induced transients, and inductive switching spikes.
Designed for surface-mount automation, it features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements. The SMB package delivers high power density with thermal resistance RθJA = 72 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W under standard pad layout conditions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ16A-E3/52 | Same VWM (16 V), identical SMB package, but commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101) and RoHS-compliant only | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated | Select SMBJ16A-E3/52 if cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements and no vehicle deployment is planned |
| SMAJ16AHE3_A/H | Same electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification, but in smaller SMA (DO-214AC) package with lower PPPM (400 W) | Lower power handling limits use to lower-energy transients; footprint reduction may aid dense PCB layouts | Choose SMAJ16AHE3_A/H only when surge threat level is ≤400 W and board space constraints justify reduced robustness |
