Product details
Overview
SMB10J30AHM3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for high-energy surge protection with 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 30 V stand-off voltage (VWM), and 48.4 V clamping voltage at 20.7 A peak pulse current. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used to protect automotive sensor signal lines and MOSFET gate drivers from inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J30AHM3_B/H datasheet, SMB10J30AHM3_B/H pinout, SMB10J30AHM3_B/H application, or SMB10J30AHM3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, AEC-Q101 qualification status, unidirectional polarity, thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast response (<1 ps) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling effective suppression of ESD and lightning-induced transients per IEC 61000-4-2/4-5. Its unidirectional configuration provides asymmetric conduction-blocking reverse voltage up to 30 V while clamping forward surges to ≤48.4 V at rated IPPM.
The device operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (260 °C reflow peak). Its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and the halogen-free, RoHS-compliant molding compound satisfies UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J30AHM3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J30AHM3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 48.4 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 20.7 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and guarantees predictable overvoltage limiting for protected circuits. The SMB10J30AHM3_B/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range (-55 °C to +150 °C).
Is SMB10J30AHM3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J30AHM3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designated for automotive use via its HM3 suffix (halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101 qualified). It is validated for temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing, and ESD robustness per automotive standards. The SMB10J30AHM3_B/H is commonly deployed in body control modules, sensor interfaces, and lighting systems meeting OEM Tier-1 requirements.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in SMB10J30AHM3_B/H?
The "HM3" suffix in SMB10J30AHM3_B/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes the part from commercial-grade variants (e.g., E3/M3) and confirms compliance with automotive environmental and reliability standards. The "B/H" indicates 7″ tape-and-reel packaging (750 units per reel). The SMB10J30AHM3_B/H meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements.
How does SMB10J30AHM3_B/H differ from SMBJ30A?
SMB10J30AHM3_B/H and SMBJ30A share identical electrical specifications (VWM = 30 V, VC = 48.4 V, PPPM = 1000 W) and AEC-Q101 qualification, but differ in naming convention and packaging coding. SMBJ30A follows Vishay's legacy naming; SMB10J30AHM3_B/H reflects updated ordering syntax with explicit halogen-free and qualification markers. Both use SMB (DO-214AA) package and are functionally interchangeable in design. The SMB10J30AHM3_B/H is the current preferred ordering code.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to lead (RθJL) for SMB10J30AHM3_B/H?
The SMB10J30AHM3_B/H has a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 20 °C/W, measured under standard mounting conditions (0.2″ × 0.2″ copper pads). This low value enables efficient heat transfer to the PCB during repetitive surge events and supports higher power dissipation in thermally constrained layouts. RθJL directly impacts safe surge repetition rate and long-term reliability-critical for automotive applications with frequent load-switching transients. The SMB10J30AHM3_B/H leverages this spec to sustain operation at TJ = +150 °C.
