Product details
Overview
SMB10J30AHE3_B/I 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, 48.4 V clamping voltage (VC) at 20.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1000 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive ECUs, industrial sensor interfaces, and power supply input stages.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J30AHE3_B/I datasheet, SMB10J30AHE3_B/I pinout, SMB10J30AHE3_B/I application, or SMB10J30AHE3_B/I equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, low incremental surge resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that transitions from high-impedance standby to low-impedance conduction when reverse voltage exceeds VBR, limiting transient overvoltage to ≤48.4 V at 20.7 A. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at 30 V) and fast response time (<1 ns), critical for protecting MOSFET gates and microcontroller I/O pins against ESD and inductive switching spikes.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 72 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W, enabling reliable operation up to TJ = +150 °C. The device meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and supports peak forward surge current of 100 A (8.3 ms half-sine), making it suitable for harsh environments where thermal derating above 25 °C must be applied per Figure 2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 30 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin for 24 V systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 33.3 V / 36.8 V at IT = 1 mA - tight breakdown tolerance ensures predictable turn-on across temperature and unit variation. |
| VC @ IPPM | 48.4 V at 20.7 A (10/1000 µs) - clamping voltage directly limits stress on downstream ICs during surge events. |
| PPPM | 1000 W - peak pulse power handling capacity determines survivability against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2/5a transients. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - ultra-low leakage preserves battery life and avoids false triggering in high-impedance sensor circuits. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive applications without thermal shutdown risk. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per AEC standard. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Cathode indicated by color band; polarity critical for unidirectional operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference node | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms return path during clamping conduction. |
| Cathode | Protected line input | Connected to the line being protected (e.g., 24 V supply or CAN_H); conducts surge current to anode when V > VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive electronics including engine control, body modules, and ADAS sensors requiring long-term reliability under thermal and mechanical stress. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures consistent VBR stability, low leakage drift over time, and immunity to humidity-induced parameter shift in industrial enclosures. |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Allows unlimited floor life and reflow at peak 260 °C without preconditioning - simplifies manufacturing for high-volume SMT lines. |
| 1000 W peak pulse power | Supports robust protection against ISO 16750-2 load dump surges and IEC 61000-4-5 combination wave transients up to 4 kV. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.4) | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during fast transients, reducing risk of latch-up or gate oxide damage in protected MOSFETs and MCUs. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ30AHE3_A/H | Same VWM (30 V), VBR (33.3–36.8 V), VC (48.4 V), and PPPM (1000 W); differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (7" reel vs. 13") and revision code (A/H vs. B/I). | No functional difference; identical electrical and thermal specs; suitable for same PCB layout and qualification records. | Select based on preferred reel size and inventory alignment; no design change required. |
| SMCJ30AHE3/57 | Higher package thermal mass (SMC/DO-214AB); same VWM/VBR/VC but higher IPPM (32.4 A) and PPPM (1500 W); RθJA = 35 °C/W vs. 72 °C/W. | Better suited for higher-energy transients or elevated ambient temperatures (>85 °C); requires larger pad layout (7.1 mm × 6.2 mm vs. 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm). | Choose when surge energy exceeds 1000 W or board space allows larger footprint; not drop-in compatible due to package size and thermal pad requirements. |
Compared with SMB10J30AHE3_B/I, SMBJ30AHE3_A/H offers identical protection performance with different packaging logistics, while SMCJ30AHE3/57 provides higher surge capacity at the cost of larger footprint and altered thermal management - both require separate validation for automotive AEC-Q101 compliance documentation.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J30AHE3_B/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J30AHE3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 48.4 V at 20.7 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 surge events - critical for ensuring downstream components like MCUs or gate drivers remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Is SMB10J30AHE3_B/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J30AHE3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed rigorous stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and ESD per the AEC standard. The "HE3" suffix explicitly denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified construction, making SMB10J30AHE3_B/I suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics such as body control modules and ADAS power supplies.
What does the "B/I" suffix mean in SMB10J30AHE3_B/I?
The "B/I" suffix in SMB10J30AHE3_B/I indicates the packaging configuration: "B" denotes the revision level (Revision B per Vishay document 88422), and "I" specifies 13-inch diameter plastic tape-and-reel delivery containing 3200 units. This differs from "H"-suffixed variants which use 7-inch reels with 750 units - both share identical electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications.
How does SMB10J30AHE3_B/I compare to bidirectional TVS diodes with the same voltage rating?
SMB10J30AHE3_B/I is unidirectional and intended for DC line protection where polarity is fixed (e.g., +24 V rail to GND). Unlike bidirectional variants like SMB8J30CAHE3_B/I, it cannot protect AC or differential signals. Its unidirectional structure yields lower leakage (<1.0 µA) and higher PPPM (1000 W vs. 800 W for bidirectional), but requires correct orientation during placement - the cathode band must face the protected line.
What is the thermal resistance of SMB10J30AHE3_B/I, and how does it affect layout design?
SMB10J30AHE3_B/I 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 minimum recommended pad layout per Vishay's datasheet; reducing pad area increases RθJA and risks exceeding TJ(max) = +150 °C during repeated surges. Layout must maintain those pad dimensions and avoid thermal isolation to ensure reliable long-term operation.
