Product details
Overview
SMB10J28AHM3_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, 45.4 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 22.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1000 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive sensor interfaces and industrial power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J28AHM3_A/I datasheet, SMB10J28AHM3_A/I pinout, SMB10J28AHM3_A/I application, or SMB10J28AHM3_A/I equivalent, this device is evaluated for AEC-Q101-compliant transient suppression in 12 V/24 V automotive systems, DC power input stages, and I/O line protection where low clamping voltage, fast response (<1 ns), and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal bias it presents <1 µA leakage at 28 V; during transients exceeding VBR, it avalanches to clamp voltage ≤45.4 V while diverting up to 22.0 A (10/1000 µs). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low incremental surge resistance.
Designed for surface-mount automated assembly, SMB10J28AHM3_A/I meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow), supports 150 °C max junction temperature, and delivers thermal resistance of 72 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) on standard 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads - enabling robust thermal performance in compact layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 28 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; defines safe working range for 24 V nominal systems. |
| VBR min/max | 31.1 V / 34.4 V at 1 mA - tight breakdown tolerance ensures predictable turn-on across temperature and unit variation. |
| VC @ IPPM | 45.4 V at 22.0 A - clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during 10/1000 µs surges per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. |
| PPPM | 1000 W - peak pulse power handling capacity with 10/1000 µs waveform, enabling protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a events. |
| IFSM | 100 A - non-repetitive forward surge rating (8.3 ms half-sine), supporting inrush and load-dump immunity in automotive power paths. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - extended junction temperature rating allows operation in under-hood and industrial environments without derating. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - standardized 2-pin SMD outline (4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm), compatible with IPC-7351B footprint and pick-and-place equipment. |
Pinout & Package
SMB10J28AHM3_A/I uses the SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package: cathode-indicated by a color band on the body; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD22-B102 whisker testing (Class 2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / low-side connection | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; enables unidirectional clamping from protected line to GND. |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased terminal / protected line interface | Connected to the line being protected (e.g., 24 V supply or CAN_H); avalanche conduction occurs when voltage exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD - required for engine control, ADAS, and body electronics. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.37) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on downstream MOSFETs or microcontrollers during transients, improving system-level robustness. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C) | Enables single-pass lead-free reflow without moisture sensitivity concerns - eliminates bake requirements and streamlines manufacturing. |
| Glass-passivated junction | Provides stable electrical parameters over time and temperature, reducing parameter drift in long-life industrial deployments. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant (HM3 suffix) | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and IPC-1752A material declarations - supports sustainability compliance for global OEMs. |

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/I | Same VWM (28 V), VBR (31.1–34.4 V), and VC (45.4 V), but rated for 600 W PPPM (vs. 1000 W). | Limited to lower-energy transients (e.g., IEC 61000-4-4 Level 3); insufficient for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a in 24 V systems. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs peak surge margin and layout space permits parallel devices. |
| 1.5SMC28AH | Same electrical specs but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package (7.11 mm × 6.22 mm); RθJA = 30 °C/W vs. 72 °C/W. | Better thermal dissipation allows sustained surge duty cycles; incompatible with SMB footprints - requires PCB redesign. | Choose when thermal management dominates over board area, and AEC-Q101 is not mandatory. |
Compared with SMBJ28AHE3_A/I and 1.5SMC28AH, SMB10J28AHM3_A/I uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 1000 W surge capability, and SMB footprint - making it the only option satisfying automotive-grade 24 V power rail protection without layout or thermal compromise.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMB10J28AHM3_A/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J28AHM3_A/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 45.4 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 22.0 A with 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. The SMB10J28AHM3_A/I maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SMB10J28AHM3_A/I suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101 qualification?
Yes, SMB10J28AHM3_A/I is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HM3" and documentation revision 09-Jan-2024 (Document Number: 88422). It undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD per AEC-Q101 Rev D, making it approved for use in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems. The SMB10J28AHM3_A/I meets all required failure rate and reliability thresholds for automotive deployment.
What is the thermal resistance of SMB10J28AHM3_A/I, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The SMB10J28AHM3_A/I 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 construction and dictates minimum pad area and copper weight for reliable thermal management. To avoid junction temperature exceedance during repeated surges, designers must allocate adequate copper pour and avoid excessive trace length between SMB10J28AHM3_A/I terminals and ground/power planes.
Does SMB10J28AHM3_A/I support lead-free reflow assembly, and what is its moisture sensitivity level?
Yes, SMB10J28AHM3_A/I is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, with a maximum peak reflow temperature of 260 °C - fully compatible with standard lead-free soldering processes without pre-bake. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, and the molding compound complies with UL 94 V-0 flammability. The SMB10J28AHM3_A/I can be stored indefinitely in dry pack and placed directly into reflow ovens, simplifying manufacturing flow.
How does the breakdown voltage tolerance of SMB10J28AHM3_A/I impact circuit design margins?
The SMB10J28AHM3_A/I has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 31.1 V to 34.4 V at 1 mA test current, yielding ±5.3% tolerance. This tight spread allows designers to set precise overvoltage thresholds - for example, ensuring clamping initiates well above 28 V VWM but below 36 V absolute maximum ratings of common 24 V system ICs. The SMB10J28AHM3_A/I's consistent VBR minimizes need for derating in safety-critical automotive designs.
