Product details
Overview
SMB10J28AHE3_A/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 28 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 31.1–34.4 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 22.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps to ≤45.4 V under surge. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used in automotive power supply input stages.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J28AHE3_A/H datasheet, SMB10J28AHE3_A/H pinout, SMB10J28AHE3_A/H application, or SMB10J28AHE3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin vs. protected IC's absolute maximum rating, thermal derating above 25 °C, PCB pad layout per JEDEC MS-012, and AEC-Q101 compliance verification for automotive ECUs.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a silicon avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, enabling fast response (<1 ns) to ESD and lightning-induced transients. Its unidirectional polarity provides forward conduction path during overvoltage events while blocking reverse leakage below 1 µA at 28 V.
The device is rated for 150 °C max junction temperature and exhibits low incremental surge resistance, ensuring stable clamping performance across repetitive surge events. Thermal resistance is 72 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads, supporting robust thermal management in compact automotive modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 28 V - Maximum continuous DC or RMS operating voltage before clamping initiates; sets minimum system operating margin. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 31.1–34.4 V at 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures reliable triggering above nominal rail voltage. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | ≤45.4 V at 22.0 A IPPM - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs surge; must be below downstream IC's absolute max rating. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 1000 W (10/1000 µs) - Energy-handling capacity for standardized surge waveforms; defines single-event survivability. |
| IFSM (Surge Current) | 100 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Forward surge capability for AC-coupled or inductive-switching events; supports motor driver protection. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive environments. |
| MSL Level | Level 1 (J-STD-020) - No floor life limitation; compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002. Cathode indicated by color band; polarity critical for unidirectional operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry during clamping | Connected to protected line (e.g., battery feed); conducts surge current toward ground when V > VBR. |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased terminal / clamping reference | Connected to system ground; establishes VWM and VBR thresholds; color band identifies this end. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing - required for engine control, ADAS, and body electronics. |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR over lifetime and humidity exposure; eliminates risk of junction corrosion in harsh under-hood environments. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a), improving clamping precision. |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Enables direct placement into high-volume SMT lines without dry-pack or baking - reduces manufacturing cost and cycle time. |
| UL 94 V-0 molding compound | Self-extinguishing encapsulation meets automotive flammability requirements for PCB-mounted components near heat sources. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Input Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Protection |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ28AHE3_A/H | Same VWM (28 V), identical SMB package, but lower PPPM (600 W) and IPPM (17.3 A); no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Not suitable for automotive under-hood use; limited to commercial-grade industrial or consumer power rails. | Select only if surge threat level is ≤600 W and AEC-Q101 is not required. |
| 1.5SMC28AH | Same VWM and VBR range, but SMC (DO-214AB) package - 2.5 mm wider, higher RθJA (50 °C/W), and no AEC-Q101 rating. | Requires larger PCB area; thermal performance inferior in confined enclosures; unsuitable for automotive qualification programs. | Choose only when existing SMC footprint exists and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J28AHE3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J28AHE3_A/H clamps to a maximum of 45.4 V when subjected to its rated 22.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at the device terminals and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on the protected circuit during surge events. The SMB10J28AHE3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range, making it suitable for automotive under-hood applications where ambient temperatures exceed 100 °C.
Is SMB10J28AHE3_A/H suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No, SMB10J28AHE3_A/H is a unidirectional TVS diode and must not be used on bidirectional data lines like USB, RS-485, or CAN without external biasing. Its cathode-band marking indicates polarity-sensitive installation, and reverse conduction occurs only above VBR. For bidirectional protection, Vishay offers the SMB8J28CAHE3_A/H variant - which shares the same VWM and clamping but supports symmetrical surge suppression in both directions. Always verify polarity alignment before placing SMB10J28AHE3_A/H in-circuit.
Does SMB10J28AHE3_A/H require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes, SMB10J28AHE3_A/H must be derated above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in Vishay document 88422. At 85 °C ambient, its 1000 W peak pulse power rating drops to approximately 650 W, and IPPM reduces proportionally. Derating is based on junction temperature limits (150 °C max) and thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W). To maintain full rating, ensure PCB copper pad layout matches the 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) per-terminal recommendation and avoid thermal crowding near the SMB10J28AHE3_A/H location.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in SMB10J28AHE3_A/H?
"HE3" denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification - confirming that SMB10J28AHE3_A/H meets automotive-grade reliability standards including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and ESD immunity. The "_A/H" revision code specifies the manufacturing lot and tape-and-reel packaging format (7" reel, 750 units). This suffix distinguishes it from commercial-grade variants like SMB10J28AE3, which lack AEC-Q101 validation and are unsuitable for automotive production.
Can SMB10J28AHE3_A/H replace SMBJ28AHE3_A/H in an existing design?
SMB10J28AHE3_A/H is not a drop-in replacement for SMBJ28AHE3_A/H due to higher surge ratings (1000 W vs. 600 W) and tighter thermal constraints - though both share the same SMB footprint and VWM. Substituting requires verifying that the PCB layout provides adequate copper area for thermal dissipation and that downstream components can tolerate the identical clamping voltage (45.4 V). No changes to schematic polarity or placement are needed, but system-level surge testing must be repeated to confirm robustness with the higher-energy capability of SMB10J28AHE3_A/H.
