Product details
Overview
SMB10J28AHM3/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 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 power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J28AHM3/H datasheet, SMB10J28AHM3/H pinout, SMB10J28AHM3/H application, or SMB10J28AHM3/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, automotive-grade qualification status, clamping performance under standardized surge waveforms, and real-world use context for ESD/surge hardening of 12 V/24 V systems.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with avalanche breakdown behavior, optimized for fast response (<1 ns) to transients induced by load dump, inductive switching, or ISO 7637-2 pulses. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (≤1.0 µA at 28 V).
The SMB10J28AHM3/H is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and exhibits 72 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads. Its halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction (HM3 suffix) meets automotive reliability requirements per AEC-Q101 stress tests.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 28 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; sets threshold for 12 V/24 V system rail protection. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 31.1–34.4 V at 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures reliable triggering above normal operating voltage. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | ≤45.4 V at 22.0 A (10/1000 µs) - Maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge; critical for downstream IC survival. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 1000 W (10/1000 µs) - Sustains high-energy transients typical of automotive load dump and ISO 7637-2 Test Pulses 1/2a/5a. |
| IFSM (Surge Current) | 100 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Withstands repetitive or single-event overcurrent events without bond wire failure. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Enables operation in under-hood automotive environments with minimal derating. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Surface-mount, low-profile package compatible with automated placement and reflow soldering (MSL Level 1, 260 °C peak). |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads; cathode indicated by color band on one end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path); conducts during forward surge or bias conditions. |
| Cathode | Avalanche clamping terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail); initiates clamping when reverse voltage exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock per JESD22 standards. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant (HM3) | Meets automotive environmental compliance requirements and supports lead-free reflow assembly without compromising reliability. |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures tight VBR tolerance, low leakage (<1 µA), and long-term stability under thermal and electrical stress. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Enables tighter VC–VBR margin (ΔV = 14.3 V), improving protection headroom for sensitive 3.3 V/5 V interface ICs downstream. |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Allows unlimited floor life and standard reflow profile compatibility (peak 260 °C), reducing manufacturing risk. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial PLC Digital Input Card |

Use Scenario: Protects microcontroller I/O and CAN transceiver power rails from load-dump-induced surges during battery disconnect/reconnect events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamping TVS placed between 24 V supply and ground, shunting energy before it reaches LDOs or level shifters. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤45.4 V, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in 3.3 V logic interfaces powered from local 5 V/3.3 V regulators. |
Use Scenario: Shields 24 V digital input optocoupler front-end from field-wiring induced surges (e.g., relay coil kickback, lightning coupling). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary surge suppression element on the 24 V input line upstream of series current-limiting resistor and opto-LED. Use Value: Absorbs 1000 W pulses without degradation, maintaining <1 µA leakage at 28 V to avoid false triggering in high-impedance sensing circuits. |
| Automotive Infotainment Power Supply | Telecom Remote Radio Unit (RRU) DC Feed |
|
Use Scenario: Guards buck converter input stage against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump up to 60 V, 400 ms) in head-unit power distribution. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line transient suppressor on main 12 V/24 V input, placed before EMI filter and primary FET switch. Use Value: Clamps peak voltage to 45.4 V within nanoseconds, allowing downstream ceramic capacitors and controllers to survive without overvoltage shutdown. |
Use Scenario: Protects PoE-like 48 V DC feed lines in outdoor RRU enclosures exposed to induced lightning surges via long cable runs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS mounted at DC input connector, referenced to chassis ground to divert common-mode surge energy.

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 | Same VWM (28 V), VBR (31.1–34.4 V), and PPPM (1000 W), but commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101) and RoHS-compliant only (not halogen-free). | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. | Select SMBJ28AHE3/A only if automotive qualification and halogen-free content are not required. |
| SAC28 | Lower PPPM (600 W), same VWM (28 V); uses SOD-123FL package (smaller footprint, higher thermal resistance). | Not suitable for high-energy load dump; limited to low-power signal line protection due to 600 W rating and smaller pad area. | Choose SAC28 only for space-constrained, low-surge-risk applications where 1000 W capability is unnecessary. |
Compared with SMBJ28AHE3/A and SAC28, SMB10J28AHM3/H uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free construction, and full 1000 W surge capacity in SMB package-making it the only option qualified for under-hood automotive power rail protection where both reliability and regulatory compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J28AHM3/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J28AHM3/H clamps to a maximum of 45.4 V when subjected to its rated 22.0 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured under standardized test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events, ensuring compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic interfaces downstream.
Is SMB10J28AHM3/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J28AHM3/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation and ordering code suffix "HM3" (halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101 qualified). It undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock required for under-hood and body electronics deployment.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in SMB10J28AHM3/H?
The "HM3" suffix in SMB10J28AHM3/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this variant from commercial-grade versions (e.g., E3/M3) and confirms compliance with automotive environmental and reliability standards, including JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Can SMB10J28AHM3/H be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, SMB10J28AHM3/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, as indicated by its part number structure and electrical specifications (e.g., IFSM rating, absence of symmetrical VBR min/max for both polarities). For bidirectional protection, Vishay offers the SMB8J28CA series, which has different marking, ratings, and polarity behavior.
What is the thermal resistance of SMB10J28AHM3/H, and how does it affect layout design?
SMB10J28AHM3/H 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 requires adequate copper pour and thermal vias in PCB layout to maintain junction temperature below 150 °C during repeated surge events, especially in enclosed or high-ambient-temperature environments.
