Product details
Overview
SMB10J26AHM3_B/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for high-energy surge protection in automotive and industrial power rails. It features a 26 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 42.1 V clamping voltage (VC) at 23.8 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1000 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 µs waveform. Used to protect MOSFETs, microcontrollers, and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J26AHM3_B/I datasheet, SMB10J26AHM3_B/I pinout, SMB10J26AHM3_B/I application, or SMB10J26AHM3_B/I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance data, clamping behavior under surge, and automotive-grade packaging details - all critical for ESD/surge hardening in 12 V/24 V systems.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with a breakdown voltage range of 28.9 V to 31.9 V at 1 mA test current, enabling precise overvoltage thresholding on DC power lines. Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns) ensure effective suppression of fast-rising transients such as load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses.
Thermally, it exhibits RθJA = 72 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W, supporting reliable operation up to TJ = 150 °C. The device is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and qualified to AEC-Q101 - confirming suitability for under-hood automotive environments where thermal cycling and long-term reliability are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 26 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; sets safe margin above nominal 24 V rail. |
| VBR min/max | 28.9 V / 31.9 V - breakdown occurs within this band at 1 mA; defines turn-on threshold tolerance for surge detection. |
| VC @ IPPM | 42.1 V - clamped voltage during 23.8 A 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on protected downstream ICs. |
| PPPM | 1000 W - peak pulse power handling capability; supports robust protection against ISO 16750-2 and ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a/b events. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables use in engine control units and power distribution modules with high ambient heat. |
| RθJA | 72 °C/W - thermal resistance junction-to-ambient on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads; informs PCB thermal design requirements. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - certified for automotive applications per stress test standard; validates reliability for safety-critical ECUs and ADAS sensors. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Polarity indicated by cathode band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Anode reference for unidirectional clamping | Connected to protected line; conducts when line voltage exceeds VBR relative to ground. |
| Anode | Ground reference terminal | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return path; completes clamping loop during surge event. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | HM3 suffix confirms compliance with environmental regulations and automotive material restrictions (e.g., ELV, REACH). |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR over lifetime and immunity to moisture-induced parameter drift in humid environments. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Enables compatibility with standard lead-free reflow profiles without preconditioning or baking. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes voltage overshoot during fast transients, improving protection margin for sensitive 3.3 V/5 V logic interfaces. |
| 100 A IFSM rating | Supports survival under repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surges - critical for alternator load-dump immunity in 12 V systems. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Distribution | Industrial Motor Drive Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of 24 V supply rail in body control modules against load dump and jump-start transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamping device placed between battery input and DC-DC converter input stage.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ26AHE3_A/H | Same VWM (26 V), same SMB package, but E3 suffix indicates commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101) and RoHS-compliant only (not halogen-free). | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and halogen-free certification; unsuitable for automotive OEM production. | Select only for cost-sensitive industrial prototypes where automotive qualification is not required. |
| SMCJ26A-Q | Higher power rating (1500 W), larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same VWM and clamping voltage. | Requires larger PCB footprint and higher thermal mass; better suited for high-energy 48 V systems or hybrid power architectures. | Choose when surge energy exceeds 1000 W or when board layout allows SMC footprint and enhanced thermal dissipation. |
Compared with SMBJ26AHE3_A/H and SMCJ26A-Q, SMB10J26AHM3_B/I uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free construction, and optimized 1000 W capability in the compact SMB footprint - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, thermally demanding automotive ECUs requiring full compliance traceability.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J26AHM3_B/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J26AHM3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 42.1 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 23.8 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within their absolute maximum ratings. The SMB10J26AHM3_B/I maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is SMB10J26AHM3_B/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J26AHM3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's official documentation and ordering code suffix "HM3_B/I", where "H" denotes AEC-Q101 qualification and "M3" indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction. This certification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD, validating its use in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS modules. The SMB10J26AHM3_B/I meets automotive reliability and traceability requirements out-of-the-box.
What does the "HM3_B/I" suffix mean in SMB10J26AHM3_B/I?
The "HM3_B/I" suffix in SMB10J26AHM3_B/I decodes as follows: "H" = AEC-Q101 qualified; "M3" = halogen-free and RoHS-compliant; "B" = revision code; "I" = packaging format - 13-inch tape-and-reel with 3200 units per reel. This distinguishes it from commercial variants (e.g., E3 or M3 alone) and confirms full automotive-grade compliance. The SMB10J26AHM3_B/I is supplied in moisture-sensitive level 1 packaging compatible with standard lead-free reflow.
How does SMB10J26AHM3_B/I compare to SMBJ26A in terms of surge capability?
SMB10J26AHM3_B/I delivers 1000 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with a 10/1000 µs waveform, matching SMBJ26A's rating, but differs in qualification and construction: SMB10J26AHM3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified and halogen-free (HM3), whereas standard SMBJ26A is typically commercial-grade (E3/M3) without automotive validation. Both share identical VWM (26 V) and VC (42.1 V), but only SMB10J26AHM3_B/I guarantees performance across automotive temperature and lifetime requirements.
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for SMB10J26AHM3_B/I?
The maximum operating junction temperature (TJ max) for SMB10J26AHM3_B/I is +150 °C, as specified in Vishay's datasheet Document Number 88422. This rating enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive locations and industrial enclosures with elevated ambient temperatures. Derating curves in the datasheet show usable power capability down to ~60% of PPPM at TJ = 125 °C, ensuring functional margin in real-world thermal environments. The SMB10J26AHM3_B/I sustains this rating with its glass-passivated junction and DO-214AA thermal design.
