Product details
Overview
SMB10J28-E3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) 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 power supply rails and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J28-E3/52 datasheet, SMB10J28-E3/52 pinout, SMB10J28-E3/52 application, or SMB10J28-E3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 22 A surge, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, 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 transient voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold (31.1–34.4 V), it avalanches rapidly to divert surge current away from downstream ICs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at 28 V) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling consistent clamping at 45.4 V up to 22.0 A.
Thermally, it sustains operation from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, with 72 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) on standard 0.2" × 0.2" pads and 20 °C/W junction-to-lead (RθJL). The device meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and passes JESD201 Class 1A whisker testing due to its E3 suffix.
