Product details
Overview
SMB10J30AHM3_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 SMB10J30AHM3_B/I datasheet, SMB10J30AHM3_B/I pinout, SMB10J30AHM3_B/I application, or SMB10J30AHM3_B/I equivalent, this device is selected for robust overvoltage protection where AEC-Q101 qualification, low clamping ratio (<1.6×VWM), and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility are mandatory in harsh-environment designs.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal conditions it presents <1 µA leakage at 30 V; when exposed to transients exceeding its breakdown threshold, it avalanches rapidly (response time <1 ns) to clamp the line at ≤48.4 V while diverting up to 20.7 A of 10/1000 µs surge current. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable parametric performance across temperature (-55 °C to +150 °C).
Designed for surface-mount assembly on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal, the SMB10J30AHM3_B/I delivers thermal resistance of 72 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead), enabling reliable operation in compact, thermally constrained layouts without forced cooling - critical for space-limited automotive and industrial modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 30 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; defines safe DC rail margin for 24 V systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 33.3 V / 36.8 V at 1 mA - tight breakdown window ensures predictable turn-on timing and minimal variation across production lots. |
| VC @ IPPM | 48.4 V at 20.7 A - clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during 1000 W surge events; clamping ratio = 1.61×VWM. |
| PPPM | 1000 W (10/1000 µs) - sustains high-energy transients common in automotive load-dump and inductive switching scenarios. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - ultra-low leakage preserves battery life and avoids false triggering in always-on circuits. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - supports under-hood automotive placement and extended industrial temperature operation without derating. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD per JESD47 requirements. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - standardized footprint compatible with automated pick-and-place; RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, matte tin leads. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, cathode-indicated by black band on one end. Dimensions: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm (L × W × H); recommended pad layout: 5.59 mm × 2.18 mm minimum per terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Current entry point during forward conduction; connected to protected circuit ground or low-side return path. | Enables bidirectional surge handling only when paired with complementary devices; not used for clamping in unidirectional configuration. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Clamping node - connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail or CAN_H) to shunt surges to ground. | Defines polarity-sensitive placement; reversal causes catastrophic failure under reverse bias due to lack of reverse blocking capability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-profile SMB package | Enables integration into height-constrained PCBs (max 2.20 mm) without compromising surge rating - ideal for stacked automotive modules. |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures long-term parameter stability and reduced parameter drift under thermal cycling and humidity exposure per AEC-Q101. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates suitability for automotive powertrain, body control, and ADAS applications requiring zero field failures over 15-year service life. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Supports standard lead-free reflow profiles without moisture-induced popcorn failure - eliminates pre-bake requirement in SMT lines. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | Meets EU ELV Directive and OEM sustainability mandates; matte tin plating ensures solderability per J-STD-002 and whisker resistance Class 2. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Input Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ30A-E3/52 | Same VWM (30 V), VBR (33.3–36.8 V), VC (48.4 V), but commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), RoHS-compliant only (not halogen-free). | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial power supplies where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. | Select SMBJ30A-E3/52 for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs needing identical electrical specs but no automotive reliability validation. |
| SMCJ30A-QH | Higher PPPM (1500 W), same VWM/VBR/VC, but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package (7.11 mm × 6.22 mm) and AEC-Q101 qualified. | Requires PCB layout change; used where >1000 W surge margin is required (e.g., heavy-duty vehicle alternator inputs). | Choose SMCJ30A-QH only when system-level surge testing exceeds 1000 W - otherwise SMB10J30AHM3_B/I offers optimal size/power density. |
Compared with SMBJ30A-E3/52, SMB10J30AHM3_B/I adds AEC-Q101 qualification and halogen-free construction for automotive use; compared with SMCJ30A-QH, it trades 500 W peak power for 40 % smaller footprint and identical clamping performance - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained AEC-Q101 designs.

The SMB10J30AHM3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 48.4 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 20.7 A using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and confirmed in Vishay's datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024, Document Number 88422. The clamping behavior ensures downstream components see limited overvoltage stress during surge events.
Is SMB10J30AHM3_B/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J30AHM3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designated for automotive use via its HM3 suffix (halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101). It meets stress test requirements including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - making it appropriate for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems where reliability is critical.
What does the "_B/I" suffix mean in SMB10J30AHM3_B/I?
The "_B/I" suffix in SMB10J30AHM3_B/I indicates packaging configuration: "B" denotes the base revision code (per Vishay's revision tracking), and "I" specifies 13-inch diameter plastic tape-and-reel delivery with 3200 units per reel. This matches the ordering information in the datasheet, where "I" corresponds to the preferred package code for high-volume automated assembly.
How does SMB10J30AHM3_B/I differ from SMBJ30A?
SMB10J30AHM3_B/I and SMBJ30A share identical electrical parameters (VWM = 30 V, VBR = 33.3–36.8 V, VC = 48.4 V), but SMB10J30AHM3_B/I carries AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free construction, and MSL Level 1 reflow rating - whereas SMBJ30A is commercial-grade (E3 suffix) without automotive validation. Both use the same SMB package, but SMB10J30AHM3_B/I is intended for mission-critical automotive deployment.
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for SMB10J30AHM3_B/I?
The SMB10J30AHM3_B/I has a maximum operating junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of Vishay's datasheet (Document Number 88422).
