Product details
Overview
SMB10J28A-M3/52 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), 45.4 V clamping voltage (VC) at 22.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), commonly deployed in automotive power supply input stages.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J28A-M3/52 datasheet, SMB10J28A-M3/52 pinout, SMB10J28A-M3/52 application, or SMB10J28A-M3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 22 A surge, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free RoHS compliance (M3 suffix), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VBR, it avalanches to divert transient energy away from downstream ICs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), while its low incremental surge resistance enables rapid clamping response within picoseconds.
The device is rated for continuous operation from −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, with thermal resistance of 72 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, on recommended pad layout) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead), supporting reliable performance in under-hood automotive environments and industrial power supplies.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ28A-M3/52 | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs but rated for 600 W PPPM (vs. 1000 W) | Limited to lower-energy transients; not suitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load dump | Select SMB10J28A-M3/52 where full 1000 W surge immunity is required. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J28A-M3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J28A-M3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 45.4 V at 22.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on the protected circuit during full-rated transient events. The SMB10J28A-M3/52 maintains this clamping performance across its qualified temperature range.
Is SMB10J28A-M3/52 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J28A-M3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation for the SMB10JxxA family. The M3 suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction meeting JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and the device is rated for operation from −55 °C to +150 °C. These attributes make SMB10J28A-M3/52 suitable for under-hood and body-control module applications.
What does the "M3/52" suffix indicate in SMB10J28A-M3/52?
The "M3" suffix specifies halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, while "/52" denotes packaging in 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel containing 750 units. This format supports automated SMT assembly and aligns with Vishay's commercial-grade ordering nomenclature. The SMB10J28A-M3/52 is not AEC-Q101 qualified by suffix alone-the qualification applies to the base SMB10J28A device when ordered with HE3 or HM3 variants.
How does SMB10J28A-M3/52 differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SMB8J28CA-M3/52?
SMB10J28A-M3/52 is unidirectional and functions only during reverse-voltage transients, with a defined cathode band for polarity-sensitive placement. In contrast, SMB8J28CA-M3/52 is bidirectional and protects both polarities symmetrically but offers lower peak pulse power (800 W vs. 1000 W). The SMB10J28A-M3/52 is preferred for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed and higher surge capacity is needed.
What is the thermal resistance of SMB10J28A-M3/52, and how does it affect layout?
The SMB10J28A-M3/52 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 minimum recommended pad layout per Vishay's datasheet. To avoid thermal derating, designers must allocate adequate copper area and consider airflow or adjacent heat sources. The SMB10J28A-M3/52's RθJL of 20 °C/W further supports efficient heat transfer to PCB traces.
