Product details
Overview
SMB10J26AHM3/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 26 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 42.1 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 23.8 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), making it suitable for automotive power line and industrial sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J26AHM3/H datasheet, SMB10J26AHM3/H pinout, SMB10J26AHM3/H application, or SMB10J26AHM3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction (HM3 suffix), low incremental surge resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a glass-passivated silicon junction to achieve fast response time (<1 ps) and stable breakdown behavior under repetitive transients. Its unidirectional polarity enables asymmetric clamping-blocking reverse conduction while clamping positive surges above VBR = 28.9–31.9 V (tested at 1 mA).
The device operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and exhibits 72 °C/W typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Its MSL Level 1 rating (JEDEC J-STD-020) and matte tin-plated leads ensure robust reflow solderability without moisture sensitivity concerns.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamping device upstream of DC-DC converter, sized to handle 10/1000 µs surges up to 23.8 A. Use Value: Achieves 42.1 V clamping at rated surge current-well below 60 V absolute maximum ratings of common 48 V buck controllers. |
Use Scenario: Input-stage surge suppression in wall-mounted AC/DC adapters for smart home hubs and IoT gateways. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS on secondary-side 12 V output to prevent transient coupling into USB or Ethernet PHYs. Use Value: Halogen-free HM3 construction satisfies regional eco-regulations (e.g., China RoHS II), while 1000 W rating covers EN 61000-4-5 Level 3. |
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 | Same VWM/VC/PPPM, but RoHS-compliant commercial grade (E3), not AEC-Q101 qualified or halogen-free. | Lacks automotive qualification and halogen-free certification-suitable only for non-automotive industrial or consumer use. | Select when AEC-Q101 and halogen-free requirements are not mandated; lower cost alternative for non-automotive BOMs. |
| SMCJ26A-Q | Higher PPPM = 1500 W, larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same VWM/VC specs, AEC-Q101 qualified. | Requires larger PCB footprint (7.11 mm × 6.22 mm) and higher thermal mass; better for >1000 W surge margins. | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds 1000 W or when enhanced thermal derating headroom is required. |
Compared with SMBJ26AHE3/A, SMB10J26AHM3/H adds AEC-Q101 qualification and halogen-free compliance without sacrificing clamping performance; versus SMCJ26A-Q, it trades 500 W peak power for 30% smaller PCB area and identical automotive suitability.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J26AHM3/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J26AHM3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 42.1 V when subjected to its rated 10/1000 µs peak pulse current of 23.8 A. This value is measured under standardized test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on the protected circuit during surge events. The SMB10J26AHM3/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range and after repeated surge exposures, as validated in Vishay's AEC-Q101 qualification testing.
Is SMB10J26AHM3/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J26AHM3/H is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified and manufactured with halogen-free, RoHS-compliant materials (HM3 suffix), meeting automotive reliability and environmental requirements. It is rated for operation from -55 °C to +150 °C and validated for load dump, ESD, and surge immunity per ISO 7637-2 and IEC 61000-4-x standards. The SMB10J26AHM3/H is commonly deployed in engine control modules, body control units, and ADAS sensor interfaces where robust transient protection is mission-critical.
How does the HM3 suffix differ from E3 or M3 in the SMB10J26A family?
The HM3 suffix on SMB10J26AHM3/H indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification-distinguishing it from E3 (RoHS-compliant commercial grade) and M3 (halogen-free RoHS-compliant commercial grade). Only HM3 and HE3 variants carry automotive qualification. The SMB10J26AHM3/H therefore delivers the full combination of environmental compliance, reliability validation, and automotive-grade traceability required for Tier 1 supplier BOMs, whereas E3/M3 parts lack the stress-test documentation needed for automotive PPAP submission.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for SMB10J26AHM3/H?
Vishay specifies a minimum 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad area for each terminal of SMB10J26AHM3/H to achieve rated 1000 W peak pulse power dissipation. The SMB (DO-214AA) package requires symmetric thermal relief and adherence to the outlined mounting dimensions: 0.220" (5.59 mm) overall length with 0.086" (2.18 mm) minimum cathode-band-end pad width. Deviating from this layout reduces surge current handling and may cause premature failure under repeated transients. The SMB10J26AHM3/H datasheet provides exact mechanical drawings and thermal derating curves based on this pad configuration.
Does SMB10J26AHM3/H have polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes, SMB10J26AHM3/H is a unidirectional TVS diode and features a visible cathode band (dark stripe) on the SMB package body, located at the cathode terminal end. This marking aligns with JEDEC DO-214AA standard orientation and must be matched to PCB silkscreen polarity indicators during layout. Incorrect orientation-placing the cathode toward ground instead of the protected line-will render the SMB10J26AHM3/H ineffective for positive-going transients and may cause catastrophic failure under reverse bias. Always verify placement using optical inspection or AOI before reflow.
