Product details
Overview
SMB10J28HE3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection on 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 clamping voltage (VC) at 22.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1000 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 μs waveform. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used in automotive power rail and sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J28HE3/5B datasheet, SMB10J28HE3/5B pinout, SMB10J28HE3/5B application, or SMB10J28HE3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 22 A surge, thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping device that remains high-impedance below VWM (28 V) and rapidly transitions to low-impedance conduction above VBR (min. 31.1 V) to shunt transient energy. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM) and fast response time (<1 ns).
The device is rated for 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), and operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. Its DO-214AA package supports surface-mount reflow per J-STD-020 MSL level 1 (260 °C peak).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 28 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant conduction begins |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 31.1–34.4 V at 1 mA - Confirmed minimum/maximum threshold where avalanche conduction initiates |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 45.4 V at IPPM = 22.0 A - Maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during full-rated 10/1000 μs surge |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 1000 W - Energy-handling capacity under standardized 10/1000 μs transient waveform |
| IT (Test Current) | 1.0 mA - Standard current used to measure and specify VBR tolerance band |
| RθJA | 72 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to ambient, critical for derating above 25 °C ambient |

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 DO-214AA package, identical VWM/VBR/VC ratings, but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Suitable for commercial/industrial use only; lacks automotive reliability validation | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and cost optimization is prioritized |
| SMCJ28AHE3/5B | DO-214AB (SMC) package; same electrical specs but higher thermal mass and RθJA = 30 °C/W | Better power dissipation capability; requires larger PCB pad area (≥10 mm² per terminal) | Choose for higher ambient temperature environments (>85 °C) or repeated surge exposure |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J28HE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J28HE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 45.4 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 22.0 A under a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and ensures downstream components see no more than 45.4 V during worst-case surge events. The SMB10J28HE3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMB10J28HE3/5B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J28HE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed rigorous stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD per JESD22 standards. Its construction-glass-passivated junction, matte tin plating, and MSL Level 1 rating-supports under-hood and chassis-mounted use. The SMB10J28HE3/5B is explicitly recommended for engine control modules, body controllers, and ADAS sensor power rails.
How does the SMB10J28HE3/5B differ from the SMBJ28A-E3/5B?
The SMB10J28HE3/5B and SMBJ28A-E3/5B share identical electrical specifications (VWM = 28 V, VBR = 31.1–34.4 V, VC = 45.4 V) and DO-214AA package dimensions, but only the SMB10J28HE3/5B carries AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing. The "HE3" suffix denotes automotive-grade screening, whereas "E3" indicates commercial grade. Both are RoHS-compliant, but SMB10J28HE3/5B is required for Tier 1 automotive BOMs.
What is the thermal resistance of SMB10J28HE3/5B, and how does it affect layout?
The SMB10J28HE3/5B 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 51-7 test conditions. To maintain safe junction temperatures under repeated surges, PCB layout must provide adequate copper area and avoid thermal bottlenecks. Derating curves in the SMB10J28HE3/5B datasheet show >50% power reduction above 75 °C ambient.
Can SMB10J28HE3/5B be used in bi-directional protection circuits?
No, SMB10J28HE3/5B is a unidirectional TVS diode, identifiable by its cathode band marking and specified parameters (e.g., IFSM = 100 A, VF = 3.5 V at 50 A). For bi-directional protection-such as AC line or differential signal clamping-Vishay's SMB8J28CA or SMBJ28CA variants must be used. Using SMB10J28HE3/5B in reverse-biased configurations risks permanent damage due to lack of symmetrical avalanche structure.
