Product details
Overview
SMB10J28A-E3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for high-energy surge protection with 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 28 V stand-off voltage (VWM), and 45.4 V maximum clamping voltage at 22.0 A peak pulse current. It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive power electronics and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J28A-E3/52 datasheet, SMB10J28A-E3/52 pinout, SMB10J28A-E3/52 application, or SMB10J28A-E3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, RoHS-compliant E3 suffix, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, activated when reverse voltage exceeds its 31.1–34.4 V breakdown range (tested at 1 mA). Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time enable effective suppression of inductive switching spikes and ESD events in DC power rails and low-voltage signal paths.
Thermally, it features a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 72 °C/W (on recommended pad layout) and supports continuous operation from –55 °C to +150 °C. The matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and the device meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 28 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin for 24 V systems. |
| VBR min/max | 31.1 V / 34.4 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 1 mA test current; ensures predictable turn-on threshold. |
| VC @ IPPM | 45.4 V - Clamping voltage at 22.0 A peak pulse current; limits downstream voltage stress during surge events. |
| PPPM | 1000 W - Peak pulse power handling (10/1000 µs waveform); supports high-energy transients in automotive load-dump scenarios. |
| ID @ VWM | 1.0 µA - Reverse leakage at 28 V; negligible power loss and minimal impact on high-impedance sensor bias networks. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Surface-mount outline with 0.220" × 0.130" footprint; compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place and reflow profiles. |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ28A-E3/52 | Same VWM (28 V), identical SMB package, but lower PPPM (600 W vs. 1000 W). | Not suitable for automotive load dump; limited to lower-energy ESD and inductive spike suppression. | Select SMB10J28A-E3/52 where ISO 7637-2 compliance or higher surge margin is required. |
| SMCJ28A-E3/52 | Same VWM and clamping, but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package with 1500 W PPPM and lower RθJA (50 °C/W). | Requires larger PCB area; preferred for higher thermal mass or extended surge duty cycles. | Choose SMB10J28A-E3/52 when board space is constrained but 1000 W capability is sufficient. |
Compared with SMBJ28A-E3/52 and SMCJ28A-E3/52, SMB10J28A-E3/52 delivers optimal balance of high surge capacity (1000 W), compact SMB footprint, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it ideal for space-limited automotive ECUs needing robust load-dump immunity without redesigning layout for larger packages.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J28A-E3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J28A-E3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 45.4 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 22.0 A, measured using the standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform. This value ensures protected circuits remain below critical overvoltage thresholds during surge events. The SMB10J28A-E3/52 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SMB10J28A-E3/52 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J28A-E3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and ESD per the AEC-Q101 standard. Its RoHS-compliant E3 suffix and MSL Level 1 rating further support automotive manufacturing requirements. The SMB10J28A-E3/52 is explicitly designated for use in automotive electronics such as body control modules and powertrain systems.
What is the difference between SMB10J28A-E3/52 and SMBJ28A-E3/52?
SMB10J28A-E3/52 offers 1000 W peak pulse power (PPPM), whereas SMBJ28A-E3/52 is rated for 600 W under the same 10/1000 µs waveform. Both share identical VWM (28 V), VBR range, and SMB package, but the SMB10J28A-E3/52 provides higher surge resilience for demanding applications like automotive load dump. The SMB10J28A-E3/52 also carries AEC-Q101 qualification, while SMBJ28A-E3/52 does not.
What PCB pad layout is recommended for optimal thermal performance of SMB10J28A-E3/52?
Vishay specifies a minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pad for each terminal of the SMB10J28A-E3/52 to achieve its rated 1000 W PPPM and thermal resistance of 72 °C/W. Reducing pad size degrades both surge capability and steady-state power dissipation. The SMB10J28A-E3/52 datasheet provides exact mounting dimensions and recommends solder mask defined pads for consistent reflow yield.
Does SMB10J28A-E3/52 have polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes, SMB10J28A-E3/52 is unidirectional and features a cathode band (color stripe) on the package body, located at the cathode end. This marking aligns with industry-standard DO-214AA polarity convention: the banded end connects to the protected line (e.g., 24 V rail), while the anode connects to ground. No marking appears on bidirectional variants, but SMB10J28A-E3/52 is explicitly unidirectional per its part number suffix "A" and electrical characteristics table.
