Product details
Overview
SMB10J28-E3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection on DC power rails and signal lines. It features 28 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 31.1–34.4 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 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 SMB10J28-E3/5B datasheet, SMB10J28-E3/5B pinout, SMB10J28-E3/5B application, or SMB10J28-E3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 22 A surge, unidirectional polarity for DC rail protection, RoHS-compliant matte tin terminations, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VBR (31.1–34.4 V), it avalanches to divert transient energy away from downstream ICs. Its low incremental surge resistance ensures minimal voltage overshoot during fast transients like ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a.
Thermal design relies on RθJA = 72 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W, requiring minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal for rated 1000 W dissipation. The glass-passivated junction enables stable operation from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 28 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 μA; sets upper limit for protected line's nominal DC voltage. |
| VBR (min/max) | 31.1 V / 34.4 V at 1.0 mA test current - defines avalanche initiation window; ensures reliable turn-on above system overvoltage threshold. |
| VC @ IPPM | 45.4 V at 22.0 A - clamped voltage during full-rated 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on downstream components. |
| PPPM | 1000 W - peak pulse power handling capability with 10/1000 µs waveform; supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV) surge immunity when properly laid out. |
| IR @ VWM | ≤1.0 μA - reverse leakage at 28 V; negligible power loss and no measurable loading on 24 V systems. |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables use in under-hood automotive environments without derating below 125 °C ambient. |
| Package | DO-214AA (SMB) - surface-mount outline with 0.220" body length, compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering per J-STD-020 MSL level 1. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ28A-E3/5B | Same VWM (28 V), identical DO-214AA package, but lower PPPM (600 W) and higher VC (48.4 V at 12.3 A). | Rated for lighter-duty surges; insufficient for ISO 16750-2 load dump in 24 V systems. | Select SMB10J28-E3/5B when 1000 W surge handling and tighter clamping (45.4 V vs. 48.4 V) are required. |
| SMCJ28A-E3/57T | Higher power (1500 W), larger DO-214AB (SMC) package, same VWM and VBR range, VC = 45.4 V at 33.0 A. | Requires larger PCB footprint and different thermal pad layout; suited for higher-energy industrial mains interfaces. | Choose SMB10J28-E3/5B for space-constrained automotive modules where DO-214AA footprint and AEC-Q101 qualification are mandatory. |
Compared with SMBJ28A-E3/5B and SMCJ28A-E3/57T, SMB10J28-E3/5B uniquely balances 1000 W surge capacity, AEC-Q101 qualification, and compact DO-214AA packaging - making it optimal for automotive and industrial edge nodes where board area and qualification rigor are both critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J28-E3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J28-E3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 45.4 V at 22.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under standardized test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during full-rated surge events. The SMB10J28-E3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is SMB10J28-E3/5B qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J28-E3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD per JESD22-A114. This qualification confirms its suitability for automotive powertrain, chassis, and body electronics where reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is critical. The SMB10J28-E3/5B carries the HE3 suffix variant for AEC-Q101; however, the E3 version shares identical die and construction, with qualification confirmed per Vishay documentation.
What is the reverse leakage current of SMB10J28-E3/5B at its stand-off voltage?
The SMB10J28-E3/5B exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 μA at its 28 V stand-off voltage (VWM) and 25 °C ambient temperature. This ultra-low leakage ensures negligible power loss and no measurable loading effect on 24 V supply rails or precision analog signal paths. Leakage remains within specification up to 125 °C ambient per derating curves in the datasheet.
Does SMB10J28-E3/5B have a bi-directional variant?
No, SMB10J28-E3/5B is strictly unidirectional. Its part number suffix "J" (not "JCA") and device marking code "1CG" confirm unidirectional polarity, with cathode identified by a band. For bi-directional operation at 28 V, the functionally matched part is SMB8J28CA-E3/5B - which offers 800 W PPPM, 45.4 V VC at 17.6 A, and same DO-214AA package.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SMB10J28-E3/5B?
The SMB10J28-E3/5B 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 JEDEC test board conditions and is essential for calculating safe operating area under sustained surge duty cycles. For improved thermal performance, increasing pad area or adding internal ground planes reduces effective RθJA.
