Product details
Overview
SMB10J30A-E3/52 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 30 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 33.3–36.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 20.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps to ≤48.4 V under surge conditions - deployed in automotive power supply inputs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J30A-E3/52 datasheet, SMB10J30A-E3/52 pinout, SMB10J30A-E3/52 application, or SMB10J30A-E3/52 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W), RoHS-compliant E3 suffix, and real-world clamping behavior critical for IEC 61000-4-5 surge compliance validation.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VBR (33.3–36.8 V), it avalanches to limit transient energy across protected circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at 30 V) and fast response (<1 ns), while low incremental surge resistance enables effective suppression of 10/1000 µs surges up to 1000 W.
Rated for -55 °C to +150 °C junction operation and qualified to AEC-Q101, SMB10J30A-E3/52 supports automotive-grade reliability. The SMB package provides 72 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads, enabling robust thermal management without heatsinking in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 30 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; defines safe DC rail margin for 24 V systems. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 33.3–36.8 V at 1 mA - precise avalanche initiation range ensuring predictable clamping onset with tight tolerance. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | ≤48.4 V at IPPM = 20.7 A - limits transient voltage seen by downstream ICs during 10/1000 µs surge events. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 1000 W (10/1000 µs) - sustains high-energy transients common in automotive load-dump and inductive switching. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | ≤1.0 µA at 30 V - negligible standby current draw, preserving battery life and signal integrity in always-on circuits. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - supports under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures with elevated ambient temperatures. |
| RθJA | 72 °C/W - enables thermal design on standard FR-4 with 5 mm × 5 mm copper pads; no forced air or heatsink required for typical duty cycles. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile plastic case with matte tin-plated leads; meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and J-STD-002 solderability requirements. Polarity indicated by cathode band (banded end = cathode).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / Surge return path | Connected to ground or low-impedance return plane; completes shunt path during transient clamping. |
| Cathode | Protected line connection | Connected to line being protected (e.g., 24 V rail input); avalanche conduction occurs from cathode to anode when V > VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics per stress test requirements. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures long-term stability of VBR and leakage under thermal cycling and humidity exposure. |
| Low profile SMB package | Height ≤0.086" (2.20 mm) enables use in ultra-thin modules and dense automotive ECUs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ30A-E3/52 | Same SMB package, identical VWM/VBR/VC specs, but rated for 600 W PPPM (vs. 1000 W). | Limited to lower-energy transients (e.g., IEC 61000-4-4 EFT), not suitable for ISO 16750-2 load dump. | Select SMBJ30A-E3/52 only if system-level surge testing confirms <600 W requirement and cost optimization is prioritized. |
| SMCJ30A-E3/52 | Same electrical specs but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; RθJA = 35 °C/W vs. 72 °C/W. | Better thermal performance allows higher duty-cycle surge handling; requires 30% more PCB area. | Choose SMCJ30A-E3/52 when sustained surge repetition or elevated ambient temperature (>105 °C) demands lower thermal resistance. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J30A-E3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J30A-E3/52 clamps to a maximum of 48.4 V when subjected to its specified peak pulse current of 20.7 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured under standardized test conditions per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and guarantees voltage limiting for downstream components during surge events. The SMB10J30A-E3/52 achieves this clamping performance while maintaining low incremental resistance, making it suitable for protecting sensitive 24 V automotive electronics.
Is SMB10J30A-E3/52 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J30A-E3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified, confirming its suitability for automotive electronic systems including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS modules. The "HE3" variant carries explicit AEC-Q101 qualification, but the E3 suffix in SMB10J30A-E3/52 denotes RoHS-compliant commercial grade - and the underlying SMB10J30A die is AEC-Q101 qualified per Vishay documentation. SMB10J30A-E3/52 meets stress test requirements for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock relevant to under-hood deployment.
What does the "-E3/52" suffix indicate in SMB10J30A-E3/52?
The "-E3/52" suffix in SMB10J30A-E3/52 specifies two attributes: "E3" indicates RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance; "/52" denotes packaging in 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 750 units per reel. This format ensures compatibility with automated SMT placement equipment and supports high-volume manufacturing workflows for SMB10J30A-E3/52.
How does SMB10J30A-E3/52 differ from SMBJ30A-E3/52?
SMB10J30A-E3/52 delivers 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), whereas SMBJ30A-E3/52 is rated for 600 W - a 67% higher surge capacity. Both share identical VWM (30 V), VBR (33.3–36.8 V), and VC (≤48.4 V), but SMB10J30A-E3/52 achieves higher power handling via optimized chip geometry and thermal design within the same SMB package. This makes SMB10J30A-E3/52 appropriate for ISO 16750-2 load dump protection where SMBJ30A-E3/52 would thermally saturate.
What is the maximum operating temperature for SMB10J30A-E3/52?
The SMB10J30A-E3/52 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C and an operating junction/storage temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. This rating enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures exposed to elevated ambient temperatures. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W) is characterized on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads, allowing accurate thermal modeling without additional heatsinking for typical surge duty cycles.
