Product details
Overview
SMB10J24A-E3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for high-energy surge protection on DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 24 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 26.7–29.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 38.9 V clamping voltage (VC) at 25.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1000 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive power supply inputs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J24A-E3/5B datasheet, SMB10J24A-E3/5B pinout, SMB10J24A-E3/5B application, or SMB10J24A-E3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 25.7 A surge, AEC-Q101 qualification status, RoHS-compliant E3 suffix, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: it remains high-impedance below 24 V (VWM), triggers avalanche conduction at 26.7–29.5 V (VBR @ 1 mA), and limits transients to ≤38.9 V (VC) during 1000 W surges. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low leakage (<1 µA at VWM).
Thermal design relies on RθJA = 72 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W, requiring minimum 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal for rated 1000 W dissipation. It meets MSL Level 1 (260 °C reflow) and AEC-Q101 for automotive underhood applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 24 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA; defines safe DC rail margin. |
| VBR min/max | 26.7 V / 29.5 V at 1 mA - guaranteed avalanche initiation range; ensures consistent turn-on across temperature and lot. |
| VC @ IPPM | 38.9 V at 25.7 A - clamped voltage during full 1000 W surge; determines protected IC's maximum transient stress. |
| PPPM | 1000 W (10/1000 µs) - peak transient energy handling capacity; validated with derating above 25 °C per Fig. 2. |
| IFSM | 100 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - non-repetitive forward surge rating; supports inrush or fault-current events in power circuits. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive environments. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - cathode marked by band; blocks reverse current until breakdown, ideal for DC rail protection. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002. Cathode indicated by color band.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24A-E3/5B | Same SMB package, identical VWM/VBR/VC ratings, but rated for 600 W PPPM (vs. 1000 W). | Limited to lower-energy transients (e.g., IEC 61000-4-2 ESD only); insufficient for ISO 7637-2 load dump. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs surge margin, and system-level testing confirms 600 W sufficiency. |
| SMD10T24A | Higher 1500 W PPPM, same VWM/VC, but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package - 2.5× PCB area. | Required for extreme surge environments (e.g., railway traction control), but incompatible with dense layouts. | Choose only if 1000 W margin is inadequate and board space allows SMC footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ24A-E3/5B and SMD10T24A, SMB10J24A-E3/5B uniquely balances 1000 W surge capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, and compact SMB footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial 24 V systems where both reliability and layout density matter.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J24A-E3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J24A-E3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V at its peak pulse current (IPPM) of 25.7 A, measured with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is critical for ensuring downstream ICs - such as 36 V-rated voltage regulators - remain within safe operating limits during surge events. The SMB10J24A-E3/5B achieves this clamping performance while maintaining low incremental resistance, directly supporting robust system-level EMC compliance.
Is SMB10J24A-E3/5B qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J24A-E3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation (Document Number 88422, Revision 09-Jan-2024). This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life - validating its suitability for under-hood and body-control module applications. The "HE3" variant is explicitly AEC-Q101 rated; however, the E3 suffix in SMB10J24A-E3/5B denotes RoHS-compliant commercial grade, and the part number itself falls within the AEC-Q101-qualified SMB10J family per Vishay's ordering matrix.
What does the "-E3/5B" suffix indicate for SMB10J24A-E3/5B?
The "-E3/5B" suffix specifies two attributes: "E3" indicates RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads, and "5B" denotes packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with a base quantity of 3200 units. This format supports high-volume SMT assembly and aligns with IPC/JEDEC standards for moisture sensitivity (MSL Level 1, peak reflow 260 °C). The SMB10J24A-E3/5B is not halogen-free - that designation requires the "M3" suffix instead.
How does SMB10J24A-E3/5B differ from bidirectional TVS diodes with similar voltage ratings?
SMB10J24A-E3/5B is unidirectional, meaning it conducts only in reverse bias (cathode-to-anode) above VBR, behaving like a Zener clamp for positive transients on DC rails. Bidirectional variants (e.g., SMB10J24CA) protect both polarities and are used on AC or floating signal lines. The SMB10J24A-E3/5B offers higher PPPM (1000 W vs. 800 W for bidirectional) and lower clamping voltage in its intended direction - making it preferred for 24 V DC power rail protection where polarity is fixed and surge energy is asymmetric.
What thermal considerations apply when using SMB10J24A-E3/5B in high-power surge scenarios?
For full 1000 W surge capability, SMB10J24A-E3/5B must be mounted on minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, as specified in Vishay's datasheet. Its thermal resistance is RθJA = 72 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W - so at 1000 W, junction temperature rise could exceed 72 °C above ambient without adequate copper. Derating is required above TA = 25 °C per Figure 2; at 85 °C ambient, maximum sustainable PPPM drops to ~650 W. Proper pad layout and adjacent thermal vias are essential for automotive or industrial deployments.
