Product details
Overview
SMB10J24-E3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) 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. Used in automotive power supply inputs and industrial sensor interfaces to protect MOSFETs and ICs from inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J24-E3/5B datasheet, SMB10J24-E3/5B pinout, SMB10J24-E3/5B application, or SMB10J24-E3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surges, unidirectional polarity for DC rail protection, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W), and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating per J-STD-002.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VBR (26.7–29.5 V), it avalanches to limit transient energy across protected circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low leakage (<1 µA at 24 V), while the DO-214AA package enables automated SMT placement and meets MSL Level 1 (260 °C reflow peak).
Designed for single-polarity DC systems, SMB10J24-E3/5B delivers 1000 W peak pulse power with 38.9 V clamping at 25.7 A, achieving low incremental surge resistance for fast response (<1 ns). It supports operating junction temperatures from –55 °C to +150 °C and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive under-hood applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 24 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; sets operating margin below breakdown. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 26.7–29.5 V at 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche initiation range; ensures reliable turn-on during transients. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 38.9 V at IPPM = 25.7 A - Peak voltage seen by protected device during 10/1000 µs surge; defines protection ceiling. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 1000 W - Energy-handling capacity for standardized 10/1000 µs waveform; determines survivability of common lightning/surge events. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | <1 µA at 24 V - Minimal standby power loss and signal integrity impact in always-on circuits. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Enables use in high-temperature environments such as engine control units and industrial motor drives. |
| RθJA | 72 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to ambient on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads; informs heatsinking requirements. |
Pinout & Package

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS connected from signal line to ground to suppress fast transients without distorting low-bandwidth analog signals. Use Value: Sub-1 µA leakage at 24 V prevents offset error in precision current sources; fast <1 ns response avoids signal corruption during ESD events. |
| DC Motor Drive Power Stage Protection | Telecom Power Supply Input |
|
Use Scenario: H-bridge MOSFET gate drivers and freewheeling paths in brushed DC motor controllers experiencing inductive kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed across motor terminals or power rail to absorb stored inductive energy and prevent voltage overshoot beyond MOSFET BVDSS ratings. Use Value: 1000 W PPPM handles repetitive 10/1000 µs surges from PWM commutation; 150 °C TJ max supports operation near hot motor windings. |
Use Scenario: Primary-side input of 48 V telecom rectifiers subjected to lightning-induced surges on AC mains or PoE injectors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage unidirectional TVS on DC input bus to divert bulk surge energy before upstream DC/DC converters and hold-up capacitors. Use Value: 38.9 V clamping protects 60 V-rated front-end FETs; RoHS-compliant matte tin terminations ensure long-term solder joint integrity in high-reliability infrastructure gear. |
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 DO-214AA package, identical VWM/VBR/VC specs, but rated at 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 SMBJ24A-E3/5B only where surge energy is constrained and cost sensitivity outweighs headroom. |
| SMCJ24A-E3/57T | DO-214AB (SMC) package, same electrical specs, 1500 W PPPM rating, higher RθJA (50 °C/W). | Requires larger PCB area but offers greater surge margin; thermal design must accommodate higher power dissipation density. | Choose SMCJ24A-E3/57T when system-level surge testing exceeds 1000 W requirements or when layout allows larger footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ24A-E3/5B, SMB10J24-E3/5B delivers 67% higher surge power handling in the same footprint; versus SMCJ24A-E3/57T, it trades 500 W extra rating for 40% smaller board area and lower thermal resistance to ambient on minimal copper.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J24-E3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J24-E3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 25.7 A, measured with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events and is confirmed in Vishay's datasheet revision 12-Nov-12, page 2. The SMB10J24-E3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is SMB10J24-E3/5B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J24-E3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use, including under-hood environments. Its –55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature range, glass-passivated junction, and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility support deployment in engine control modules, body control units, and ADAS power supplies. The SMB10J24-E3/5B meets the reliability and surge immunity demands of modern automotive OEM specifications.
What does the "E3/5B" suffix indicate in SMB10J24-E3/5B?
The "E3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance. The "5B" indicates packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 3200 units per reel. This differs from "52" (7-inch reel, 750 units) and confirms the SMB10J24-E3/5B is optimized for high-volume SMT assembly.
How does SMB10J24-E3/5B differ from bi-directional variants like SMB8J24CA?
SMB10J24-E3/5B is unidirectional, intended for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed; SMB8J24CA is bi-directional and suited for AC or floating signal lines. The SMB10J24-E3/5B offers 1000 W PPPM versus 800 W for SMB8J24CA, and its forward surge rating (IFSM = 100 A) applies only to unidirectional types. These differences make SMB10J24-E3/5B the preferred choice for 24 V automotive power inputs, while SMB8J24CA fits bidirectional data lines.
What is the thermal resistance of SMB10J24-E3/5B, and how does it affect layout?
The SMB10J24-E3/5B has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 72 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes minimum recommended pad layout per Vishay's DO-214AA outline drawing. To maintain safe junction temperatures during repeated surges, PCB layout must provide adequate copper area and avoid thermal bottlenecks - undersized pads will raise RθJA and risk exceeding the +150 °C TJ max of SMB10J24-E3/5B.
