Product details
Overview
SMB10J28AHE3_A/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for high-energy surge protection on power 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 sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J28AHE3_A/I datasheet, SMB10J28AHE3_A/I pinout, SMB10J28AHE3_A/I application, or SMB10J28AHE3_A/I equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 28 V working voltage, 1000 W surge rating, AEC-Q101 qualification, and SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that remains non-conductive below VWM (28 V) and rapidly transitions to low-impedance conduction above VBR (min. 31.1 V) to limit transient overvoltages. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and robust surge handling up to 100 A IFSM (8.3 ms half-sine).
The device meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (peak reflow 260 °C), uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with JESD 22-B102, and is rated for TJ = –55 to +150 °C operation - enabling use in under-hood automotive environments and industrial control systems where thermal cycling and long-term reliability are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 28 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR (min/max) | 31.1 V / 34.4 V at IT = 1 mA - precise breakdown threshold defining turn-on sensitivity |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤45.4 V at IPPM = 22.0 A - clamping voltage limiting downstream IC stress during 10/1000 µs transients |
| PPPM | 1000 W (10/1000 µs) - energy-handling capacity for repetitive or single-event surges per ISO 7637-2/IEC 61000-4-5 |

Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial Power Supply Input |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CAN/LIN bus transceivers and analog sensor front-ends (e.g., pressure, temperature) from load-dump and inductive switching transients in 12 V vehicle systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamping TVS placed between sensor signal line and chassis ground to shunt surge energy before it reaches the IC input. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤45.4 V, preserving integrity of 3.3 V/5 V interface ICs while meeting ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding AC-DC and DC-DC converter inputs against lightning-induced surges and grid switching spikes in factory automation equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-stage TVS on 24 V or 48 V input rails, coordinated with MOVs and fuses to absorb >1000 W transient energy. Use Value: Withstands 100 A IFSM and maintains clamping performance after repeated 10/1000 µs surges, extending system uptime in harsh electrical environments. |
| Telecom Line Interface | Consumer USB Power Delivery |
Use Scenario: Shielding Ethernet PHYs and PoE injectors from EFT and surge events on RJ45 ports in enterprise switches and base stations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional-capable variant family member (though SMB10J28AHE3_A/I is unidirectional, its design enables direct replacement with SMB8J28CAHE3_A/I in dual-rail configurations). Use Value: Low capacitance (typ. <100 pF at 0 V) prevents signal integrity degradation on 100BASE-TX lines while delivering 1000 W protection margin. | Use Scenario: Adding secondary overvoltage protection on VBUS lines of USB-C PD ports in laptops and docking stations subjected to hot-plug and adapter faults. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response (sub-nanosecond) clamping device placed downstream of primary protection to catch residual transients missed by upstream components. Use Value: Clamps 22.0 A surges to ≤45.4 V within nanoseconds, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in USB PD controllers and buck converters. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ28AHE3_A/I | Same VWM (28 V), VBR (31.1–34.4 V), PPPM (1000 W), but lower IFSM (100 A vs. SMBJ series' 100 A - identical), same SMB package | No functional difference; SMBJ and SMB10J families share identical electrical specs for same voltage grades | Select SMB10J28AHE3_A/I when sourcing from Vishay's latest production lot with updated traceability and AEC-Q101 documentation revision |
| SMAJ28AHE3_A/I | Lower PPPM (400 W), smaller SMA (DO-214AC) package, same VWM/VBR, but reduced thermal mass and surge endurance | Suitable only for lower-energy transients (e.g., ESD-only zones); not recommended for load-dump or ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a | Choose SMAJ28AHE3_A/I only for space-constrained consumer applications where 400 W rating suffices and automotive qualification is not required |
Compared with SMBJ28AHE3_A/I, SMB10J28AHE3_A/I offers identical electrical performance and qualification but reflects Vishay's current-generation manufacturing and documentation. Against SMAJ28AHE3_A/I, it delivers 2.5× higher surge power handling and superior thermal robustness in the same footprint class, making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial power-line protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J28AHE3_A/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J28AHE3_A/I clamps to a maximum of 45.4 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 22.0 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured under standardized test conditions per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream circuitry such as microcontrollers or transceivers. The SMB10J28AHE3_A/I achieves this with low incremental resistance, maintaining consistent clamping performance across multiple surge events.
Is SMB10J28AHE3_A/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J28AHE3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designated for automotive use with the "HE3" suffix indicating RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified construction. It supports operating temperatures from –55 °C to +150 °C and has passed stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and mechanical shock - making SMB10J28AHE3_A/I appropriate for engine control units, ADAS camera modules, and body electronics where reliability under vibration and thermal extremes is mandatory.
What does the "A/I" suffix mean in SMB10J28AHE3_A/I?
The "A/I" suffix in SMB10J28AHE3_A/I indicates packaging configuration: "A" denotes the revision code (per Vishay's document 88422, revision 09-Jan-2024), and "I" specifies 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel delivery containing 3200 units. This format ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place machines and supports just-in-time manufacturing workflows. The full part number SMB10J28AHE3_A/I uniquely identifies both the electrical specification and physical logistics configuration for traceability and procurement accuracy.
How does SMB10J28AHE3_A/I differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SMB8J28CAHE3_A/I?
SMB10J28AHE3_A/I is unidirectional and functions as a polarized clamp - conducting only during positive transients relative to its cathode. In contrast, SMB8J28CAHE3_A/I is bidirectional and protects both polarities, offering 800 W PPPM (vs. 1000 W for SMB10J28AHE3_A/I) and symmetric VBR. SMB10J28AHE3_A/I is selected when protecting DC-biased lines (e.g., 12 V power rails or sensor outputs), whereas SMB8J28CAHE3_A/I suits AC-coupled or floating lines like telecom data pairs. Their pinouts are identical, but polarity marking and surge rating differ.
What is the maximum leakage current of SMB10J28AHE3_A/I at its stand-off voltage?
The maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of SMB10J28AHE3_A/I is 1.0 µA at its stand-off voltage (VWM) of 28 V and TA = 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on circuits and avoids false triggering in high-impedance sensor interfaces. The SMB10J28AHE3_A/I maintains this spec across its full operating temperature range due to its glass-passivated junction, supporting precision analog designs in automotive and industrial applications where standby current budgets are tightly constrained.
