Product details
Overview
SMB10J30HE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection on power and signal lines. It features a 30 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 48.4 V maximum clamping voltage at 20.7 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs), 1000 W peak pulse power rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J30HE3/52 datasheet, SMB10J30HE3/52 pinout, SMB10J30HE3/52 application, or SMB10J30HE3/52 equivalent, this device is selected for robust overvoltage protection in DC power rails, automotive ECUs, and industrial sensor interfaces where fast response (<1 ns), low clamping ratio (VC/VWM ≈ 1.61), and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility are critical.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped crowbar during transients: when reverse voltage exceeds its 33.3–36.8 V breakdown range (at 1 mA), it avalanches to limit downstream voltage to ≤48.4 V. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1 µA at 30 V) and long-term reliability under repeated surges.
Thermally, it delivers 1000 W peak pulse power with RθJA = 72 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W, enabling effective heat dissipation when mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal. The HE3 suffix confirms AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 30 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin. |
| VBR (min/max) | 33.3 V / 36.8 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 1 mA test current; ensures predictable turn-on threshold. |
| VC @ IPPM | 48.4 V - Clamped voltage at 20.7 A peak pulse (10/1000 µs); determines worst-case stress on protected ICs. |
| PPPM | 1000 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV/2 Ω) surge immunity. |
| IR @ VWM | <1 µA - Reverse leakage at 30 V; negligible power loss and no measurable loading on 30 V supply rails. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive environments. |
| Package | DO-214AA (SMB) - Surface-mount package with 2.13–2.44 mm body width; compatible with automated pick-and-place. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ30AHE3/52 | Same DO-214AA package, identical VWM (30 V), VC (48.4 V), and PPPM (1000 W); differs only in part numbering convention (SMBJ vs SMB10J). | No functional difference; both rated for same surge waveforms and thermal conditions. | Select SMBJ30AHE3/52 if legacy design documentation references SMBJ-series nomenclature. |
| SMCJ30AHE3/52 | DO-214AB (SMC) package; larger footprint (7.11 mm × 6.22 mm vs 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm); higher PPPM (1500 W) but same VWM and VC. | Requires PCB layout change; suited for higher-energy surge environments where space permits larger package. | Choose SMCJ30AHE3/52 only when >1000 W surge margin is required and board area allows SMC footprint. |
Compared with SMB10J30HE3/52, SMBJ30AHE3/52 offers identical electrical performance in the same compact SMB package, while SMCJ30AHE3/52 trades smaller size for higher power handling-making SMB10J30HE3/52 optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial PCBs needing 1000 W protection.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of SMB10J30HE3/52?
The SMB10J30HE3/52 has a minimum breakdown voltage (VBR) of 33.3 V and a maximum of 36.8 V at 1 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This range ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and temperature extremes, directly supporting its use in 30 V system protection where precise overvoltage thresholding is required.
Is SMB10J30HE3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J30HE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified and carries the HE3 suffix confirming compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and MSL Level 1 reflow capability. Its 150 °C maximum junction temperature and validated performance across temperature cycling make SMB10J30HE3/52 appropriate for under-hood and cabin ECU designs per ISO/TS 16949 requirements.
What does the 'HE3' suffix mean in SMB10J30HE3/52?
The 'HE3' suffix in SMB10J30HE3/52 indicates RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Unlike the 'E3' commercial-grade variant, 'HE3' guarantees automotive-grade reliability testing including high-temperature operating life, unbiased highly accelerated stress testing, and mechanical shock-critical for SMB10J30HE3/52 deployment in safety-relevant systems.
How does SMB10J30HE3/52 compare to bi-directional TVS diodes with the same VWM?
SMB10J30HE3/52 is unidirectional and optimized for DC power line protection where polarity is fixed; bi-directional variants like SMB8J30CA offer symmetric clamping for AC or floating signal lines but have lower 800 W peak pulse power. For 30 V DC rails, SMB10J30HE3/52 provides 25% higher surge capacity and tighter clamping than its bi-directional counterpart, making it the preferred choice in automotive and industrial power systems.
What is the thermal resistance of SMB10J30HE3/52, and how does it affect layout?
SMB10J30HE3/52 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 72 °C/W and junction-to-lead (RθJL) of 20 °C/W when mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal. To maintain safe operation below 150 °C junction temperature during repetitive surges, PCB layout must allocate adequate copper area-reducing RθJA by increasing pad size or adding internal ground planes directly beneath the SMB10J30HE3/52 footprint.
