Product details
Overview
SMB10J30A-M3/5B 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 (10/1000 µs). It clamps transients to ≤48.4 V at 20.7 A peak surge current and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J30A-M3/5B datasheet, SMB10J30A-M3/5B pinout, SMB10J30A-M3/5B application, or SMB10J30A-M3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage under 10/1000 µs surge, unidirectional polarity for DC rail protection, halogen-free RoHS compliance (M3 suffix), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device across DC power rails or signal lines, triggering when reverse voltage exceeds its specified breakdown range. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1.0 µA at 30 V), while low incremental surge resistance enables effective energy diversion during fast transients.
The SMB10J30A-M3/5B is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and exhibits 72 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads. It 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 inductive load switching events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 30 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR min/max | 33.3 V / 36.8 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 1.0 mA test current, defining turn-on threshold |
| VC @ IPPM | 48.4 V - Clamped voltage at 20.7 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs), limiting downstream stress |
| PPPM | 1000 W - Peak pulse power handling capability under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - Reverse leakage at 30 V ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity |

| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Surface-mount outline with 2.20 mm height, optimized for high-density PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
Two-terminal unidirectional TVS diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package. Cathode is marked by a color band on the body; anode is unmarked. Terminals are matte tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.

| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per stress requirements |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant (M3) | Meets JEDEC JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and environmental compliance for modern manufacturing |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures consistent VBR stability over time and temperature, minimizing parameter drift in harsh environments |
| Low profile SMB package | Height ≤2.20 mm enables use in space-constrained modules such as ADAS ECUs and battery management systems |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C peak without moisture-induced damage during assembly |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V/24 V supply inputs in engine control units (ECUs) against load dump and inductive switching spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between power input and ground to clamp surges before they reach LDOs or microcontrollers. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤48.4 V at 20.7 A, preventing latch-up or permanent damage to downstream ICs rated for 40 V absolute maximum. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) connected to microcontroller ADC inputs in factory automation systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS installed across differential or single-ended signal lines to absorb ESD and cable discharge events. Use Value: Sub-1 µA leakage at 30 V preserves signal accuracy; fast response time prevents overshoot from reaching sensitive front-end amplifiers. |
| Telecom DC Power Input Protection | Consumer Device USB Power Line Protection |
Use Scenario: Securing 48 V DC input stages of PoE-powered network switches and base station radios against lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamping device on main DC bus, coordinated with upstream fuses and secondary filtering. Use Value: 1000 W PPPM rating handles high-energy transients common in outdoor telecom infrastructure without degradation. | Use Scenario: Adding robust overvoltage protection on VBUS lines of USB-C ports in laptops and docking stations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS placed between VBUS and chassis ground to suppress hot-plug transients and adapter faults. Use Value: 30 V VWM aligns with USB PD 3.0 20 V max, while 48.4 V clamping prevents damage to USB controller ICs with 5.5 V absolute max ratings. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ30A-M3/5B | Same VWM (30 V), identical SMB package, but lower PPPM (600 W vs. 1000 W) | Not recommended for high-energy automotive load dump; suitable only for lower-energy ESD or signal-line protection | Select SMB10J30A-M3/5B when 1000 W surge handling is required; choose SMBJ30A-M3/5B only if board space or cost constraints override power rating needs |
| SMCJ30A-M3/5B | Same electrical specs but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package (higher thermal mass, RθJA ≈ 35 °C/W) | Better thermal performance under sustained surge conditions; requires larger PCB footprint | Choose SMB10J30A-M3/5B for compact designs where 72 °C/W RθJA is acceptable; select SMCJ30A-M3/5B for higher-reliability thermal margin in high-ambient environments |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J30A-M3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J30A-M3/5B clamps to a maximum of 48.4 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 20.7 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at the device terminals and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events, ensuring compatibility with 40 V-rated downstream components.
Is SMB10J30A-M3/5B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J30A-M3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designated for automotive use with ordering codes ending in HE3 or HM3. The M3 suffix confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction, and its 150 °C maximum junction temperature rating supports under-hood deployment in engine control units and body electronics modules.
How does the SMB10J30A-M3/5B differ from the SMBJ30A-M3/5B?
The SMB10J30A-M3/5B delivers 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), whereas the SMBJ30A-M3/5B is rated for 600 W. Both share identical VWM (30 V), VBR (33.3–36.8 V), and SMB package, but SMB10J30A-M3/5B uses a higher-power die structure enabling greater surge energy absorption without voltage overshoot.
What is the thermal resistance of SMB10J30A-M3/5B under standard mounting conditions?
The SMB10J30A-M3/5B 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 FR-4 PCB with no internal planes; adding thermal vias or ground planes can reduce effective RθJA in actual designs.
Does SMB10J30A-M3/5B have polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes, SMB10J30A-M3/5B is unidirectional and features a cathode band printed on the body - the banded end is the cathode terminal. This marking aligns with industry-standard DO-214AA orientation and must be observed during PCB layout to ensure correct connection between protected line and ground reference.
