Overview
SMB10J28A-E3/5B 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 28 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 31.1–34.4 V breakdown voltage (VBR at 1 mA), 45.4 V clamping voltage (VC) at 22.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), suitable for automotive power supply rail protection per AEC-Q101.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J28A-E3/5B datasheet, SMB10J28A-E3/5B pinout, SMB10J28A-E3/5B application, or SMB10J28A-E3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 22 A surge, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, RoHS-compliant matte tin terminals, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon avalanche diode, leveraging glass-passivated junction technology to achieve fast response time (<1 ps) and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional configuration enables robust forward conduction during overvoltage events while maintaining low leakage (<1.0 µA at 28 V) in normal operation.
The SMB10J28A-E3/5B is rated for TJ = −55 °C to +150 °C, meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (260 °C peak reflow), and is AEC-Q101 qualified - confirming suitability for automotive under-hood and body electronics where thermal cycling and long-term reliability are critical.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ28A-E3/5B | Same VWM (28 V), identical SMB package, but lower PPPM = 600 W and VC = 45.4 V at 13.2 A. | Lower surge handling suits cost-sensitive consumer applications; insufficient for automotive load dump per ISO 7637-2. | Select SMBJ28A-E3/5B only when peak surge current remains below 13.2 A and AEC-Q101 is not required. |

The SMB10J28A-E3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 45.4 V at 22.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and guarantees that protected downstream components see no more than 45.4 V during worst-case surge events. The SMB10J28A-E3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its qualified temperature range of −55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SMB10J28A-E3/5B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J28A-E3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use, including under-hood and body electronics. Its construction includes glass-passivated junctions, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and operation up to +150 °C junction temperature. The SMB10J28A-E3/5B meets requirements for ISO 7637-2 transient immunity in 12 V and 24 V vehicle networks, making it appropriate for ECUs, ADAS modules, and lighting control units.
What does the "E3/5B" suffix indicate in SMB10J28A-E3/5B?
The "E3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated leads, while "5B" specifies packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with a base quantity of 3200 units. This format supports high-volume automated SMT assembly. The SMB10J28A-E3/5B is distinct from HE3-suffixed variants, which add AEC-Q101 qualification - though SMB10J28A-E3/5B itself carries that qualification per Vishay documentation.
How does SMB10J28A-E3/5B differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SMB8J28CA?
The SMB10J28A-E3/5B is unidirectional and features a cathode band for polarity-sensitive placement, whereas SMB8J28CA is bidirectional with no polarity marking. SMB10J28A-E3/5B delivers 1000 W peak power and 22.0 A IPPM, while SMB8J28CA provides 800 W and 17.6 A under the same waveform. The SMB10J28A-E3/5B is optimized for DC rail protection where reverse conduction is undesirable; SMB8J28CA suits AC-coupled or differential signal lines.
What is the thermal resistance of SMB10J28A-E3/5B, and how does it affect layout?
The SMB10J28A-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 standard FR-4 PCB with no internal planes. To maintain safe junction temperatures during repetitive surges, designers must ensure adequate copper area and avoid excessive ambient temperature rise. The SMB10J28A-E3/5B datasheet provides derating curves showing power reduction above 25 °C ambient.
