Product details
Overview
SMB10J24A-M3/5B 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 at 1 mA), 38.9 V clamping voltage (VC) at 25.7 A peak pulse current, and 1000 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive power supply inputs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J24A-M3/5B datasheet, SMB10J24A-M3/5B pinout, SMB10J24A-M3/5B application, or SMB10J24A-M3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 25.7 A surge, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free RoHS compliance (M3 suffix), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VBR, it avalanches to divert surge current away from downstream ICs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low leakage (<1.0 µA at 24 V), while MSL Level 1 rating supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C peak.
The device delivers 1000 W peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 µs waveform, with thermal resistance of 72 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead), enabling reliable operation up to +150 °C junction temperature in compact PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 24 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; defines safe DC rail margin for 24 V systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 26.7 V / 29.5 V at 1 mA - guaranteed avalanche initiation range; ensures consistent turn-on across production lots. |
| VC @ IPPM | 38.9 V at 25.7 A - clamped voltage during full-rated 1000 W surge; limits stress on protected 24 V logic or MOSFET gate drivers. |
| PPPM | 1000 W - peak pulse power with 10/1000 µs waveform; validates robustness against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients. |
| IFSM | 100 A - non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine); supports inrush or load-dump immunity in automotive ECUs. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables use in under-hood automotive environments without derating. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - certified for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per AEC standard. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile plastic case with matte tin-plated leads; meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Surge current sink node | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail); conducts avalanche current to ground during overvoltage events. |
| Anode | Reference/ground return | Typically tied to system ground plane; completes shunt path for transient energy dissipation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional polarity with cathode band | Enables precise orientation during automated placement and prevents reverse-bias failure in DC-coupled circuits. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance, low leakage (<1.0 µA), and long-term reliability under thermal cycling. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant (M3 suffix) | Meets automotive environmental requirements and eliminates corrosive halogen emissions during soldering or field failure. |
| MSL Level 1, 260 °C peak reflow | Supports standard lead-free SMT assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns or baking preconditioning. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules. |

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-M3/5B | Same SMB package and 24 V rating, but lower 600 W PPPM (vs. 1000 W); uses different die construction. | Limited to lower-energy transients (e.g., IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3); not suitable for automotive load dump. | Select SMB10J24A-M3/5B when 1000 W surge immunity is required; choose SMBJ24A-M3/5B only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs. |
| SMCJ24A-M3/5B | Same 24 V rating but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; rated for 1500 W PPPM and higher IPPM (43.3 A). | Requires more PCB area; better suited for primary front-end protection where space allows. | Choose SMB10J24A-M3/5B for space-constrained 24 V nodes needing 1000 W; use SMCJ24A-M3/5B where higher surge margin justifies larger footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ24A-M3/5B and SMCJ24A-M3/5B, SMB10J24A-M3/5B uniquely balances 1000 W surge capability with SMB footprint - making it optimal for automotive and industrial 24 V modules where board area and AEC-Q101 compliance are both critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J24A-M3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J24A-M3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V at its rated peak pulse current of 25.7 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured under standardized test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a full-rated surge event. The SMB10J24A-M3/5B achieves this clamping performance while maintaining low incremental surge resistance, ensuring predictable protection behavior across temperature and lifetime.
Is SMB10J24A-M3/5B qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J24A-M3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's official documentation and ordering code suffix "M3" with automotive-grade screening. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD, validating its suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics. The SMB10J24A-M3/5B meets these requirements without requiring additional suffixes like HE3 or HM3 - the M3 variant itself carries full AEC-Q101 certification per Vishay document 88422.
What does the "M3/5B" suffix indicate in SMB10J24A-M3/5B?
The "M3" suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, while "/5B" specifies packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel containing 3200 units. This format ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place machines and satisfies environmental compliance mandates for automotive and industrial OEMs. The SMB10J24A-M3/5B is not a sample or evaluation variant - it is the standard production orderable part meeting all electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications in the datasheet.
How does SMB10J24A-M3/5B differ from SMBJ24A-M3/5B?
SMB10J24A-M3/5B delivers 1000 W peak pulse power (PPPM) versus 600 W for SMBJ24A-M3/5B, due to optimized die geometry and thermal design. Both share the same SMB package and 24 V rating, but SMB10J24A-M3/5B sustains higher surge currents (25.7 A vs. 15.4 A) and exhibits lower clamping voltage rise under identical test conditions. The SMB10J24A-M3/5B is therefore specified for demanding applications like automotive load dump, where SMBJ24A-M3/5B would be insufficient.
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for SMB10J24A-M3/5B?
The SMB10J24A-M3/5B has a maximum operating junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C, as specified in Vishay document 88422. This rating applies under steady-state and pulsed conditions, supported by a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 72 °C/W and junction-to-lead resistance (RθJL) of 20 °C/W. Engineers must ensure PCB layout provides adequate copper area (minimum 0.2" × 0.2" per terminal) to maintain SMB10J24A-M3/5B within this thermal limit during repeated surge events.
