Product details
Overview
SMB10J5.0-E3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, designed for primary overvoltage protection of 5.0 V DC power rails and signal lines. It delivers 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), clamps at ≤9.2 V under 108.7 A surge, and exhibits ≤1000 µA reverse leakage at 5.0 V standoff - deployed in automotive ECUs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J5.0-E3/52 datasheet, SMB10J5.0-E3/52 pinout, SMB10J5.0-E3/52 application, or SMB10J5.0-E3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6.4–7.07 V breakdown range at 10 mA, AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS-compliant matte tin terminations, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a clamping device across protected nodes, leveraging an avalanche breakdown mechanism to divert transients exceeding its standoff voltage. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR and low incremental surge resistance, critical for consistent clamping during repetitive ESD or load-switching events.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 72 °C/W (typ.) and RθJL = 20 °C/W (typ.), enabling reliable operation up to TJ = 150 °C. The device meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C peak reflow tolerance and passes JESD201 Class 1A whisker testing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VWM) | 5.0 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; defines compatible 5 V rail protection boundary |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 6.4–7.07 V at 10 mA - guaranteed avalanche initiation window; ensures robust margin above VWM |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | ≤9.2 V at 108.7 A (10/1000 µs) - limits downstream IC stress during worst-case surge; enables safe operation of 5 V logic |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPPM) | 1000 W - sustains high-energy transients (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a) without failure |
| Reverse Leakage (ID) | ≤1000 µA at 5.0 V - negligible quiescent current draw; avoids battery drain in always-on systems |
| Operating Temperature | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments without derating |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AA (SMB), surface-mount, low-profile case with cathode band marking on the anode side. Dimensions: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm (L × W × H); terminals are matte tin-plated for J-STD-002 solderability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Protected node connection point | Connected to the line being safeguarded (e.g., 5 V supply rail); conducts during overvoltage to shunt current to ground |
| Anode | Reference/return path | Typically tied to system ground or lower-potential reference; completes clamping path during transient events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR over time and temperature; eliminates parameter drift in long-life automotive applications |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes VC overshoot during fast-rising transients (e.g., ESD), improving clamping precision |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Enables direct placement into reflow ovens without dry-packaging or baking; reduces manufacturing overhead |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates reliability for automotive use cases including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensors |
| RoHS-compliant & whisker-tested (JESD201 Class 1A) | Meets global environmental compliance and mitigates tin whisker risk in high-reliability solder joints |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 5 V microcontroller supply inputs in engine control units exposed to ISO 7637-2 load-dump and inductive switching transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamping TVS placed between VCC and GND to limit overvoltage spikes to ≤9.2 V. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or permanent damage to 5 V logic ICs during 1000 W surge events while maintaining <1000 µA standby leakage. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding analog output lines (e.g., 4–20 mA transmitter outputs) in factory automation PLC modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional-capable variant not used; this unidirectional part protects supply-side connections only, with cathode to 5 V rail. Use Value: Clamps fast transients (<1 ns rise time) induced by relay coil de-energization, preserving ADC accuracy and signal integrity. |
| Consumer USB Port ESD Protection | Telecom Base Station DC Input Stage |

Use Scenario: Front-end surge suppression on −48 V DC input of telecom remote radio units subjected to lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Used in conjunction with higher-voltage TVS arrays; SMB10J5.0-E3/52 guards auxiliary 5 V bias supplies derived from main DC bus. Use Value: Withstands 1000 W pulses without degradation, ensuring uptime in outdoor base station deployments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ5.0A-E3/52 | Same DO-214AA package, identical VWM/VBR/VC, but rated for 600 W PPPM (vs. 1000 W) | Limited to lower-energy transients (e.g., IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3); unsuitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for full 1000 W surge handling |
| 1.5SMC5.0A | DO-214AB (SMC) package, same electrical specs, 1500 W PPPM, larger footprint (7.11 mm × 6.22 mm) | Higher power handling but requires PCB area increase; thermal resistance RθJA = 20 °C/W (vs. 72 °C/W) | Choose for designs needing headroom beyond 1000 W or improved thermal dissipation |
Compared with SMBJ5.0A-E3/52, SMB10J5.0-E3/52 provides 67% higher surge power capacity in identical board space; versus 1.5SMC5.0A, it trades 40% smaller footprint for 33% lower PPPM, favoring space-constrained automotive modules.
