Product details
Overview
SMB10J24AHM3/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 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 sensor interfaces and industrial power supply inputs.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J24AHM3/I datasheet, SMB10J24AHM3/I pinout, SMB10J24AHM3/I application, or SMB10J24AHM3/I equivalent, this device is selected for AEC-Q101-qualified 24 V system protection where low clamping ratio, fast response (<1 ns), and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal bias it presents <1 µA leakage at 24 V (VWM), then rapidly avalanches when transients exceed VBR (26.7–29.5 V @ 1 mA), limiting downstream voltage to ≤38.9 V at 25.7 A. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low incremental surge resistance.
Designed for surface-mount automation, the SMB10J24AHM3/I meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak), supports 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (IFSM), and maintains operation from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature - enabling use in engine control units and under-hood electronics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 24 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin for 24 V systems. |
| VBR min/max | 26.7 V / 29.5 V @ 1 mA - guaranteed avalanche initiation range; ensures consistent turn-on across production lots. |
| VC @ IPPM | 38.9 V @ 25.7 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; limits stress on protected ICs like CAN transceivers or microcontrollers. |
| PPPM | 1000 W - peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 µs waveform; supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV) surge immunity. |
| IFSM | 100 A - single half-sine surge rating (8.3 ms); withstands load-dump events in automotive 24 V battery systems. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables placement near heat sources in power modules and motor drives. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - cathode-banded; blocks reverse conduction while clamping positive transients only. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002. Dimensions: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm (L × W × H); polarity indicated by cathode band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or low-potential node; completes clamping path during overvoltage events. |
| Cathode | High-side surge input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail or sensor output); avalanche conduction occurs from cathode to anode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including powertrain and body electronics per stress test requirements. |
| MSL Level 1 | Compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak, eliminating moisture sensitivity handling. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance, low leakage drift over temperature, and long-term reliability in harsh environments. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.38) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during surge, reducing risk of latch-up or damage to downstream 3.3 V/5 V logic. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant (HM3 suffix) | Fulfills environmental compliance for global automotive OEMs and industrial equipment certifications. |
Applications
| Automotive Sensor Interface | Industrial 24 V Power Input |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMB10J24AHE3/I | Same electrical specs, but RoHS-compliant commercial-grade (not AEC-Q101 qualified); uses standard tin plating without halogen-free certification. | Approved for industrial/commercial use only; not validated for automotive temperature cycling or humidity testing. | Select when AEC-Q101 qualification is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized over automotive compliance. |
| SMAJ24A | Lower PPPM (400 W), smaller SMA package (DO-214AC), higher VC (43.0 V @ 9.9 A), same VWM/VBR range. | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 or automotive load dump. | Choose only for space-constrained consumer designs with ≤400 W surge exposure and no automotive qualification needs. |
Compared with SMB10J24AHE3/I and SMAJ24A, the SMB10J24AHM3/I uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 1000 W surge capacity, halogen-free construction, and SMB footprint - making it the sole option for automotive-grade 24 V rail protection requiring full compliance and high-energy robustness.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J24AHM3/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J24AHM3/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V at 25.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and guarantees voltage limitation during standardized surge events - critical for protecting downstream 3.3 V or 5 V logic powered from a 24 V rail. The SMB10J24AHM3/I maintains this performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMB10J24AHM3/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J24AHM3/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation (Document Number: 88422, Revision: 09-Jan-2024). The "HM3" suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101-qualified construction. It undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock - making SMB10J24AHM3/I suitable for engine control units, ADAS sensors, and body electronics where automotive reliability is mandatory.
What does the "HM3" suffix mean in SMB10J24AHM3/I?
The "HM3" suffix in SMB10J24AHM3/I indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101-qualified construction. It distinguishes this variant from commercial-grade "E3" or "M3" versions and confirms compliance with automotive environmental and reliability standards. The "I" denotes 13-inch tape-and-reel packaging (3200 units/reel), while the "H" refers to the internal revision code. SMB10J24AHM3/I is fully compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles up to 260 °C.
How does SMB10J24AHM3/I compare to bidirectional TVS diodes with the same VWM?
SMB10J24AHM3/I is unidirectional and optimized for DC rail protection where only positive transients occur - offering higher PPPM (1000 W vs. 800 W for SMB8J24CA) and lower clamping voltage (38.9 V vs. 38.9 V at lower IPPM). Unlike bidirectional variants, SMB10J24AHM3/I blocks reverse current, eliminating leakage paths in polarized circuits. For 24 V systems with defined polarity, SMB10J24AHM3/I delivers superior energy handling without compromising circuit behavior.
What is the thermal resistance of SMB10J24AHM3/I, and how does it affect layout?
The SMB10J24AHM3/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 72 °C/W and junction-to-lead (RθJL) of 20 °C/W. To maintain safe operation under repeated surges, PCB layout must use minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, as specified in Vishay's datasheet. Insufficient copper area raises junction temperature, derating peak power capability - a key consideration when designing for sustained surge duty cycles in SMB10J24AHM3/I applications.
