Product details
Overview
SMB10J28AHM3_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 sensor power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J28AHM3_A/H datasheet, SMB10J28AHM3_A/H pinout, SMB10J28AHM3_A/H application, or SMB10J28AHM3_A/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, automotive-grade qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W), junction temperature range (−55 to +150 °C), and direct replacement guidance - all critical for ESD/surge design validation in harsh-environment electronics.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that enters avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold (VBR = 31.1–34.4 V), limiting transient overvoltage to ≤45.4 V at 22.0 A. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM = 28 V) and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling protection of downstream MOSFETs and ICs against inductive switching spikes and ISO 7637-2 pulses.
Rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine), it supports robust front-end protection in 12 V/24 V automotive systems. The SMB package provides low-profile surface-mount compatibility with automated placement and meets MSL level 1 (260 °C reflow peak), while halogen-free (HM3 suffix) and RoHS-compliant construction satisfies automotive material compliance requirements.
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 automotive systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 31.1 V / 34.4 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown window ensures reliable turn-on without premature conduction during normal operation. |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤45.4 V at 22.0 A - Clamping voltage limits stress on protected ICs during 10/1000 µs transients per IEC 61000-4-5. |
| PPPM | 1000 W (10/1000 µs) - Sustains high-energy surges typical of load-dump and inductive kick events in vehicle ECUs. |
| RθJA | 72 °C/W - Thermal resistance enables effective heat dissipation on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads without forced cooling. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Junction temperature rating supports under-hood deployment in automotive environments. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Validated for automotive reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD per AEC specification. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, halogen-free, matte tin-plated leads. Cathode indicated by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

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 rated for 600 W PPPM (vs. 1000 W); lower IPPM (13.3 A). | Not suitable for load-dump or high-energy ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a; limited to lower-tier ESD/inductive spike protection. | Select only if system-level surge testing confirms <600 W requirement and cost sensitivity outweighs headroom needs. |
| 1.5SMC28A | Same VWM (28 V), higher PPPM (1500 W), but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; RθJA ≈ 40 °C/W. | Requires PCB layout change; better thermal performance but incompatible with space-constrained SMB footprints. | Choose when thermal derating dominates and board area allows larger package; not drop-in compatible. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMB10J28AHM3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J28AHM3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 45.4 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 22.0 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and guarantees predictable overvoltage limiting for protected circuits. The SMB10J28AHM3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range (−55 to +150 °C), as confirmed in Vishay Document Number 88422.
Is SMB10J28AHM3_A/H suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No - SMB10J28AHM3_A/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended for DC power rail protection where polarity is fixed (e.g., 24 V to ground). For bidirectional signal lines like RS-485 or USB data pairs, a bidirectional variant such as SMB8J28CAHM3_A/H must be used. The "J" in SMB10J28AHM3_A/H denotes unidirectional configuration, and its internal structure lacks symmetrical breakdown in both directions. Using SMB10J28AHM3_A/H on AC or dual-polarity signals risks failure or ineffective clamping.
Does SMB10J28AHM3_A/H meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes - SMB10J28AHM3_A/H carries the HM3 suffix, indicating halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101 qualified construction. It has passed stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and ESD per AEC-Q101 Rev D. The "_A/H" ordering code further specifies tape-and-reel packaging per automotive logistics requirements. This qualification is documented in Vishay's official datasheet (Rev. 09-Jan-2024, Doc. #88422) and applies specifically to the SMB10J28AHM3_A/H variant.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA) for SMB10J28AHM3_A/H, and how is it measured?
The SMB10J28AHM3_A/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 72 °C/W, measured on a standard 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pad per terminal, per JEDEC JESD51-3. This value assumes no additional heatsinking and reflects real-world PCB layout conditions common in automotive modules. Because RθJA is highly layout-dependent, actual thermal performance may improve with enhanced copper pour or thermal vias - but 72 °C/W serves as the validated baseline for thermal design margining in the SMB10J28AHM3_A/H datasheet.
Can SMB10J28AHM3_A/H replace SMBJ28AHE3_A/H in an existing design without layout changes?
Yes - SMB10J28AHM3_A/H shares the identical SMB (DO-214AA) package, pinout, and solder pad layout with SMBJ28AHE3_A/H, enabling direct PCB footprint reuse. However, SMB10J28AHM3_A/H delivers 1000 W peak pulse power versus 600 W for SMBJ28AHE3_A/H, offering greater surge margin. No layout changes are required, but verify that downstream components can tolerate the slightly higher clamping voltage (45.4 V vs. 43.5 V for SMBJ28A) and that system-level testing validates the improved energy handling. The SMB10J28AHM3_A/H remains fully compatible with existing reflow profiles (MSL Level 1, 260 °C peak).
