Product details
Overview
SMB10J28A-M3/5B 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 (PPPM) with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive power supply inputs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J28A-M3/5B datasheet, SMB10J28A-M3/5B pinout, SMB10J28A-M3/5B application, or SMB10J28A-M3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 22 A surge, AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free RoHS compliance (M3 suffix), thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector, activating when reverse voltage exceeds its VBR threshold to divert transient energy away from downstream ICs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and fast response time (<1 ns), while low incremental surge resistance enables effective suppression of inductive switching spikes and ESD events.
The device is rated for TJ = –55 °C to +150 °C operation and meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020 (peak reflow ≤ 260 °C). Its SMB package supports high-power density mounting with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.
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 - defines reliable turn-on threshold range for surge detection |
| VC @ IPPM | 45.4 V at 22.0 A - clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during full-rated 10/1000 µs surge |
| PPPM | 1000 W - peak transient power handling capability under standardized waveform |
| ID @ VWM | <1.0 µA - ultra-low leakage preserves efficiency in battery-powered or high-impedance circuits |
| TJ max | +150 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive environments and thermally constrained enclosures |
| RθJA | 72 °C/W - thermal resistance determines required PCB copper area for sustained surge duty cycles |

Use Value: 45.4 V VC ensures protected USB PHY remains below absolute maximum ratings during 8/20 µs surge events. |
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-M3/5B | Same VWM (28 V), identical SMB package, but lower PPPM (600 W) and lower IPPM (17.3 A) | Not suitable for 1000 W surge environments; limited to lighter-duty consumer or telecom applications | Select only if system-level surge testing confirms ≤600 W requirement and thermal budget allows higher VC |
| 1.5SMC28AHE3_A/H | Same VWM and VC, but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package (7.11 mm × 6.22 mm), higher RθJA (50 °C/W), and same 1000 W rating | Requires more PCB area; better for high-reliability industrial designs needing enhanced thermal margin | Choose when board space permits larger footprint and higher thermal robustness is prioritized over density |
Compared with SMBJ28A-M3/5B and 1.5SMC28AHE3_A/H, SMB10J28A-M3/5B delivers identical 1000 W surge rating in the smallest possible SMB footprint with AEC-Q101 validation - making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial modules where both size and qualification matter.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J28A-M3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J28A-M3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 45.4 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 22.0 A, measured using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value ensures downstream components see no more than 45.4 V during full-rated surge events, directly supporting design margin calculations for 24 V and 36 V systems. The SMB10J28A-M3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is SMB10J28A-M3/5B qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J28A-M3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and other conditions defined for automotive-grade discrete semiconductors. Its M3 suffix indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction meeting JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The SMB10J28A-M3/5B is explicitly designated for automotive use in Vishay's ordering nomenclature and datasheet.
What does the "M3/5B" suffix mean in SMB10J28A-M3/5B?
The "M3" suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance; "5B" specifies packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 3200 units. This format ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment and supports automated manufacturing. The SMB10J28A-M3/5B is not a variant - it is the full orderable part number reflecting material, qualification, and packaging in one identifier.
How does SMB10J28A-M3/5B compare to bidirectional TVS diodes with the same VWM?
SMB10J28A-M3/5B is unidirectional and optimized for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed - offering 1000 W PPPM versus 800 W for equivalent bidirectional parts like SMB8J28CA-M3/5B. Its lower clamping voltage (45.4 V vs. 45.4 V for SMB8J28CA-M3/5B) and tighter VBR tolerance are maintained due to dedicated unidirectional design. The SMB10J28A-M3/5B avoids unnecessary capacitance penalties associated with bidirectional symmetry, preserving signal integrity on high-speed lines.
What PCB pad layout is recommended for optimal thermal and surge performance of SMB10J28A-M3/5B?
Vishay specifies a minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pad for each terminal to achieve rated 1000 W PPPM and maintain RθJA = 72 °C/W. Thermal vias under pads are recommended for high-duty-cycle applications. The SMB10J28A-M3/5B datasheet provides exact outline dimensions and mounting recommendations - deviation reduces surge capability and increases junction temperature during repeated transients.
