Product details
Overview
SMB10J24AHM3/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 a 24 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 26.7–29.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 25.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps to ≤38.9 V under surge conditions. Used in automotive ECUs and industrial sensor interfaces where AEC-Q101 qualification and low clamping voltage are critical.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J24AHM3/H datasheet, SMB10J24AHM3/H pinout, SMB10J24AHM3/H application, or SMB10J24AHM3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free RoHS compliance (HM3 suffix), 150 °C max junction temperature, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This device operates as a clamping-type TVS diode, leveraging a glass-passivated silicon junction to achieve fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional configuration enables robust protection of positive-rail circuits without reverse conduction during normal operation.
Rated for 1000 W peak pulse power per 10/1000 µs waveform and derated above 25 °C ambient, it maintains stable clamping performance up to 150 °C junction temperature. The SMB (DO-214AA) package supports MSL Level 1 handling and reflow up to 260 °C peak.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 24 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; defines operating rail margin. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 26.7–29.5 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold ensuring reliable triggering above nominal rail. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | ≤38.9 V at 25.7 A IPPM - Limits transient voltage seen by downstream ICs to safe levels. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 1000 W (10/1000 µs) - Withstands high-energy surges common in automotive load-dump and inductive switching events. |
| IFSM (Surge Current) | 100 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Handles repetitive short-duration overcurrent transients without degradation. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Enables use in under-hood automotive environments and thermally constrained industrial enclosures. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - Cathode-banded; blocks reverse current during normal operation, conducts only during positive transients. |

Use Scenario: Protects 12 V power input of BCM against load-dump transients (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) and jump-start surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamping TVS placed between VIN and GND, upstream of DC/DC converter input. Use Value: Limits voltage to ≤38.9 V during 1000 W surges, preventing damage to LDOs and microcontrollers rated for 40 V absolute maximum. |
Use Scenario: Shields CANH/CANL lines in factory automation nodes from ESD (IEC 61000-4-2 ±25 kV) and cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS on each CAN line referenced to ground, with low capacitance preserving signal integrity. Use Value: Clamps transients within <1 ns while maintaining <100 pF junction capacitance (typ.), avoiding CAN bit timing distortion at 1 Mbps. |
| Consumer Appliance Motor Drive Board | Telecom Power Supply Input Stage |
|
Use Scenario: Guards MCU I/O and gate driver supply rails against inductive kickback from brushed DC motor commutation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Localized TVS on 5 V/3.3 V rails near motor driver ICs, mounted on 5 mm × 5 mm thermal pads. Use Value: Absorbs 1000 W pulses without thermal runaway, thanks to RθJA = 72 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W thermal design. |
Use Scenario: Front-end protection for AC/DC adapter inputs subjected to lightning-induced surges (IEC 61000-4-5 2 kV line-to-ground). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-stage TVS on bulk DC bus (e.g., 385 V PFC output), configured in unidirectional clamp to ground. Use Value: Delivers 1000 W surge handling with minimal voltage overshoot, reducing need for secondary MOV+TVS cascading and saving board space. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24AHE3/A | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs, but E3 suffix indicates standard RoHS (not halogen-free); no AEC-Q101 certification. | Acceptable for commercial/industrial use where automotive qualification is not required. | Select when halogen-free content and AEC-Q101 are not mandated; lower cost alternative for non-automotive BOMs. |
| SMAJ24A-HM3 | Lower PPPM (400 W), smaller SMA package (DO-214AC), higher RθJA (110 °C/W), same HM3 halogen-free status. | Suitable for space-constrained designs with lower surge exposure (e.g., USB port protection). | Choose when board area is limited and surge energy is ≤400 W; verify thermal margin due to reduced pad area and higher thermal resistance. |
Compared with SMB10J24AHM3/H, SMBJ24AHE3/A lacks AEC-Q101 validation and halogen-free compliance, while SMAJ24A-HM3 trades surge capacity and thermal performance for compactness-making SMB10J24AHM3/H optimal for high-reliability automotive and industrial power-line protection where both energy handling and qualification matter.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J24AHM3/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J24AHM3/H clamps to a maximum of 38.9 V when subjected to its specified peak pulse current of 25.7 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured under standardized test conditions per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures downstream ICs see voltage limited well below their absolute maximum ratings, supporting robust system-level surge immunity.
Is SMB10J24AHM3/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J24AHM3/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's official documentation (Document Number: 88422, Revision: 09-Jan-2024). The HM3 suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with full automotive stress testing-including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD-making SMB10J24AHM3/H suitable for under-hood and body-control module deployments.
What does the "HM3" suffix mean in SMB10J24AHM3/H?
The "HM3" suffix in SMB10J24AHM3/H indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction meeting JEDEC JS709E and IEC 61249-2-21 standards. It also signifies compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and MSL Level 1 handling-enabling lead-free reflow at 260 °C without preconditioning. This distinguishes it from E3 (RoHS only) and HE3 (AEC-Q101 + RoHS) variants.
Can SMB10J24AHM3/H be used in bidirectional signal line protection?
No, SMB10J24AHM3/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, identified by its cathode band marking and specified electrical characteristics for single-polarity clamping. For bidirectional protection (e.g., data lines like RS-485 or USB), a bidirectional variant such as SMB8J24CAHM3/H must be selected-SMB10J24AHM3/H will conduct continuously if reverse-biased beyond its VWM, risking failure.
What is the thermal resistance of SMB10J24AHM3/H, and how does it affect layout?
SMB10J24AHM3/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 72 °C/W and junction-to-lead (RθJL) of 20 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. To maintain safe operation at full 1000 W surge rating, PCB layout must provide adequate copper area and thermal vias-reducing RθJA improves sustained surge capability and prevents thermal runaway during repeated events.
