Product details
Overview
SMB10J30A-E3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for high-energy surge protection with 30 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 33.3–36.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 1000 W peak pulse power (PPPM) at 10/1000 µs waveform. It clamps transients to ≤48.4 V at 20.7 A peak surge current and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J30A-E3/5B datasheet, SMB10J30A-E3/5B pinout, SMB10J30A-E3/5B application, or SMB10J30A-E3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include its unidirectional polarity, 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at 30 V, 150 °C max junction temperature, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and suitability for inductive load switching and sensor line protection in harsh environments.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with sensitive circuitry, activating when reverse voltage exceeds VBR to divert surge current away from downstream components. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low incremental surge resistance under repetitive stress.
The SMB10J30A-E3/5B is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) and exhibits a typical thermal resistance of 72 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads - enabling robust thermal performance in compact surface-mount layouts without heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 30 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates |
| VBR min/max | 33.3 V / 36.8 V at 1.0 mA test current - defines precise breakdown threshold for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VC @ IPPM | 48.4 V at 20.7 A - clamping voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting stress on protected ICs or MOSFETs |
| PPPM | 1000 W - peak pulse power handling capability, supporting high-energy transients per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - ultra-low reverse leakage preserves signal integrity and battery life in always-on circuits |
| TJ max | +150 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - industry-standard 2-pin SMD outline with 5.59 mm × 3.94 mm footprint and MSL level 1 rating |
Pinout & Package
SMB10J30A-E3/5B uses the standard SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package: 2-terminal, unidirectional configuration with cathode indicated by a color band on the body. The package features matte tin-plated leads, complies with J-STD-002 solderability, and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction path | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; carries surge current during clamping |

| Glass passivated junction | Ensures long-term stability of VBR and low parameter drift across 150 °C operating range |
| Low profile SMB package | Enables automated placement and high-density PCB layouts while maintaining 1000 W surge capability |
| MSL level 1 rating | Allows unlimited floor life and reflow compatibility up to 260 °C peak temperature without baking |
| RoHS-compliant & halogen-free option | E3 suffix denotes RoHS compliance; HM3 variants available for halogen-free requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ30A-E3/5B | Same SMB package, identical VWM/VBR/PPPM specs, but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited to commercial/industrial use; unsuitable for automotive OEM designs requiring qualification evidence | Select SMBJ30A-E3/5B only if AEC-Q101 is not required and cost optimization is critical |
| 1.5SMC33A | Higher 1500 W PPPM rating, larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, 33 V VWM, 36.7–40.6 V VBR | Better suited for higher-energy surges but requires larger PCB area and different pad layout | Choose 1.5SMC33A when >1000 W surge margin is needed and board space allows SMC footprint |
Compared with SMBJ30A-E3/5B, SMB10J30A-E3/5B adds AEC-Q101 validation for automotive deployment; versus 1.5SMC33A, it trades 500 W peak power for 30 % smaller footprint and tighter VBR tolerance - optimizing space-constrained, qualification-critical designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMB10J30A-E3/5B under surge conditions?
The SMB10J30A-E3/5B clamps to a maximum of 48.4 V when subjected to its rated 20.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at the device terminals under standardized test conditions and ensures downstream components experience limited overvoltage stress during transient events.
Is SMB10J30A-E3/5B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J30A-E3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use. Its construction includes glass-passivated junctions, MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity, and validated performance across -55 °C to +150 °C - meeting requirements for engine bay, body control, and ADAS subsystems where SMB10J30A-E3/5B is deployed.
What does the "E3/5B" suffix indicate in SMB10J30A-E3/5B?
The "E3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads; "5B" specifies packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel containing 3200 units. This format supports high-volume automated assembly and aligns with Vishay's standard ordering nomenclature for SMB10J30A-E3/5B.
How does SMB10J30A-E3/5B differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SMB8J30CA?
SMB10J30A-E3/5B is unidirectional and optimized for DC line protection with asymmetric conduction - conducting only in reverse breakdown. In contrast, SMB8J30CA is bidirectional, providing symmetrical clamping for AC or floating signal lines. SMB10J30A-E3/5B offers higher 1000 W PPPM versus 800 W for SMB8J30CA, reflecting its dedicated DC-rail design focus.
What is the thermal resistance of SMB10J30A-E3/5B, and how does it affect layout?
SMB10J30A-E3/5B has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 72 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal. This value assumes minimum recommended pad layout; reducing pad size increases thermal impedance and may require derating. For sustained surge duty, designers should verify temperature rise using SMB10J30A-E3/5B's 150 °C TJ max limit.
