Product details
Overview
SMB10J36AHE3_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), 36 V stand-off voltage (VWM), and 58.1 V clamping voltage at 17.2 A peak pulse current. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used to protect automotive sensor signal lines and power rails against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J36AHE3_B/H datasheet, SMB10J36AHE3_B/H pinout, SMB10J36AHE3_B/H application, or SMB10J36AHE3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surges, AEC-Q101 qualification status, unidirectional polarity, thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds 36 V (VWM), it avalanches at 40.0–44.2 V (VBR) and clamps transients to ≤58.1 V at 17.2 A (IPPM). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM).
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, SMB10J36AHE3_B/H meets MSL Level 1 (260 °C reflow), JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and UL 94 V-0 flammability. It delivers fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling robust protection of 12 V/24 V vehicle subsystems without sacrificing signal integrity.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial Power Rail Clamping |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog output lines of pressure, temperature, or position sensors in engine control units exposed to load dump and inductive kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional shunt TVS placed between sensor VOUT and ground to clamp transients before they reach ADC input or signal conditioning amplifier. Use Value: Limits voltage seen by downstream ICs to ≤58.1 V during 1000 W surges, preserving signal accuracy and preventing latch-up in 3.3 V/5 V interface circuits. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding 24 V DC power distribution networks in factory automation PLCs against relay coil de-energization spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS on main 24 V rail to divert surge energy away from DC-DC converters and microcontrollers. Use Value: Withstands 100 A IFSM and maintains clamping below 60 V, preventing brownout or reset events during repetitive switching transients. |
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Telecom Interface Protection |
Use Scenario: Securing LIN bus communication lines in door modules and lighting controllers subjected to ESD and battery reversal transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS on LIN data line referenced to vehicle chassis ground, absorbing ±30 kV ESD per IEC 61000-4-2. Use Value: Fast <1 ns response and low capacitance ensure minimal signal distortion on 19.2 kbps LIN signals while meeting AEC-Q101 lifetime requirements. | Use Scenario: Protecting RS-485 transceiver inputs in base station remote radio units exposed to lightning-induced surges on outdoor cabling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-level TVS on differential pair (A/B) to limit common-mode overvoltage before it reaches transceiver ESD structures. Use Value: 1000 W PPPM and 58.1 V VC provide margin above RS-485's ±12 V common-mode range, reducing need for secondary protection stages. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ36AHE3_A/H | Same VWM (36 V), identical SMB package, but rated for 600 W PPPM (vs. 1000 W) | Limited to lower-energy surge environments (e.g., consumer electronics); insufficient for automotive load dump per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a | Select SMB10J36AHE3_B/H when full 1000 W surge immunity is required in harsh automotive or industrial settings. |
| SMCJ36AHE3/73 | Higher PPPM (1500 W), same VWM and VC, but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package (7.11 mm × 6.22 mm vs. 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm) | Requires larger PCB footprint and higher mounting pad area; not suitable for space-constrained modules | Choose SMB10J36AHE3_B/H where board space is constrained but 1000 W capability is mandatory-no layout change needed versus legacy SMB designs. |
Compared with SMBJ36AHE3_A/H and SMCJ36AHE3/73, SMB10J36AHE3_B/H uniquely balances 1000 W surge rating, AEC-Q101 qualification, and compact SMB footprint-making it optimal for next-generation automotive ECUs where thermal density and reliability must coexist within tight mechanical envelopes.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J36AHE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J36AHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 58.1 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 17.2 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMB10J36AHE3_B/H maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SMB10J36AHE3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J36AHE3_B/H is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified and manufactured with halogen-free, RoHS-compliant materials. Its construction-including glass-passivated junction, MSL Level 1 reflow rating, and UL 94 V-0 molding compound-meets automotive environmental and reliability requirements. The SMB10J36AHE3_B/H is commonly deployed in engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS sensor interfaces where sustained operation at +150 °C junction temperature is required.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in SMB10J36AHE3_B/H?
The "HE3" suffix in SMB10J36AHE3_B/H denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. The "H" in the ordering code specifies 7" diameter tape-and-reel packaging (750 units per reel), while "B/H" indicates the revision level and packaging configuration per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. This distinguishes SMB10J36AHE3_B/H from commercial-grade variants (e.g., E3) and halogen-free AEC-Q101 versions (HM3).
How does SMB10J36AHE3_B/H differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SMB8J36CAHE3_B/H?
SMB10J36AHE3_B/H is unidirectional and intended for DC line protection where polarity is fixed (e.g., 24 V supply rails), offering 1000 W peak pulse power. In contrast, SMB8J36CAHE3_B/H is bidirectional with symmetrical breakdown, rated for 800 W, and suited for AC or differential signal lines (e.g., RS-485). The SMB10J36AHE3_B/H provides higher surge capacity and lower clamping in single-polarity applications, while SMB8J36CAHE3_B/H supports bipolar transients without polarity constraints.
What is the thermal resistance of SMB10J36AHE3_B/H, and how does it affect PCB layout?
SMB10J36AHE3_B/H 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. To maintain safe junction temperatures under repeated surges, designers must allocate adequate copper area and consider thermal vias beneath the SMB pads. Reducing RθJA via enhanced copper pour directly improves surge endurance and long-term reliability of the SMB10J36AHE3_B/H in thermally demanding applications.
