Product details
Overview
SMB10J6.0-E3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection on DC power rails and signal lines. It features 6.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 6.67–7.37 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 97.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps to ≤10.3 V at rated surge - used in automotive power supply inputs and industrial sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J6.0-E3/5B datasheet, SMB10J6.0-E3/5B pinout, SMB10J6.0-E3/5B application, or SMB10J6.0-E3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, MSL Level 1 rating, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device across protected nodes, leveraging avalanche breakdown to divert transient energy away from downstream ICs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1000 µA at VWM), while its low incremental surge resistance enables rapid voltage limiting during fast transients like ISO 7637-2 pulses.
The SMB10J6.0-E3/5B is rated for -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature and exhibits typical thermal resistance of 72 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead), supporting reliable operation under sustained surge duty cycles when mounted per recommended pad layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 6.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; sets minimum system operating margin. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 6.67–7.37 V at 10 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; defines turn-on threshold for transient clamping. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | ≤10.3 V at 97.1 A IPPM - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during full-rated 10/1000 µs surge. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 1000 W - Energy-handling capacity for standardized 10/1000 µs waveform; determines survivability against load dump. |
| IR (Reverse Leakage) | ≤1000 µA at 6.0 V - Low quiescent current ensures minimal impact on battery-powered or high-impedance circuits. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; supports under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions. |
| Package | DO-214AA (SMB) - Surface-mount outline with cathode band marking; compatible with standard 7" and 13" tape-and-reel feeders. |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) package: molded plastic case with two leads; cathode identified by color band on one end. Leads are matte tin plated, solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and meet JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test (E3 suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side connection point | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes clamping path during positive transients. |
| Cathode | High-side connection point | Connected to protected line (e.g., 5 V rail); avalanche conduction occurs when voltage exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per stress test plan. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR over lifetime and improved moisture resistance versus epoxy-passivated alternatives. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles without preconditioning or dry-pack requirements. |
| Low profile SMB package | Height ≤0.086" (2.20 mm) enables dense PCB layouts and compatibility with low-clearance enclosures. |
| Uni-directional polarity | Enables DC-biased protection on positive rails without reverse conduction during normal operation. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Input Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V battery-fed ECUs from load dump and jump-start surges per ISO 7637-2. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamping diode placed between input rail and ground, absorbing >1000 W transient energy within nanoseconds. Use Value: Limits voltage to ≤10.3 V during 97.1 A surge, preventing damage to downstream LDOs and microcontrollers. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding analog outputs of pressure/temperature sensors in factory automation systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional-capable protection is not required; unidirectional SMB10J6.0-E3/5B provides tighter clamping than bi-directional variants. Use Value: Sub-100 ns response time and <1000 µA leakage preserve signal integrity and minimize offset error in precision 4–20 mA loops. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line defense upstream of USB PD sink ICs, clamping fast-rising ESD events (IEC 61000-4-2 ±15 kV contact). Use Value: 10.3 V clamping voltage ensures protected ICs remain below absolute maximum ratings even during worst-case 8/20 µs surges. |
Use Scenario: Protecting -48 V telecom rectifier outputs from lightning-induced surges on central office distribution boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Mounted on primary DC bus with series fuse; absorbs repetitive transients without degradation. Use Value: 150 °C max junction temperature and 72 °C/W RθJA enable stable operation in enclosed, high-ambient telecom cabinets. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ6.0A | Same DO-214AA package, identical VWM/VBR/VC specs, but non-AEC-Q101 rated and commercial-grade only. | Lacks automotive qualification; unsuitable for under-hood or safety-critical modules. | Select SMBJ6.0A only for cost-sensitive consumer or industrial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. |
| SMAJ6.0A | Smaller DO-214AC (SMA) package; same electrical specs but lower 400 W PPPM rating and higher thermal resistance (110 °C/W). | Lower power handling limits use to sub-400 W surge environments; less robust thermal performance in confined spaces. | Choose SMAJ6.0A only when board space is constrained and surge threat level is limited to IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (0.5 kV). |
Compared with SMBJ6.0A, SMB10J6.0-E3/5B adds AEC-Q101 qualification and enhanced surge robustness; compared with SMAJ6.0A, it delivers 2.5× higher peak power handling and superior thermal dissipation for demanding automotive and industrial deployments.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMB10J6.0-E3/5B?
The SMB10J6.0-E3/5B is a unidirectional TVS diode, with the cathode identified by a color band on the package. It conducts only during reverse-bias overvoltage events and blocks forward current up to its rated peak forward surge current of 100 A (8.3 ms half-sine). This polarity makes SMB10J6.0-E3/5B suitable for protecting positive DC rails where reverse conduction must be avoided during normal operation.
Does SMB10J6.0-E3/5B meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SMB10J6.0-E3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and ESD per the AEC-Q101-004 standard. The "HE3" variant is explicitly marked for automotive use, but the E3/5B version shares identical die and qualification - confirmed by Vishay's material categorization documentation and ordering code alignment with AEC-Q101-compliant builds.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMB10J6.0-E3/5B under full-rated surge current?
The SMB10J6.0-E3/5B clamps to a maximum of 10.3 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 97.1 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured at the device terminals under standardized test conditions and represents the highest voltage imposed on the protected circuit during worst-case transient events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within their absolute maximum voltage ratings.
Can SMB10J6.0-E3/5B be used in lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, SMB10J6.0-E3/5B meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and is rated for a maximum peak reflow temperature of 260 °C. Its matte tin-plated leads are solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and the E3 suffix confirms compliance with JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing - making SMB10J6.0-E3/5B fully compatible with standard Pb-free SAC305 reflow profiles without baking or special handling.
How does SMB10J6.0-E3/5B differ from the SMBJ6.0A variant?
SMB10J6.0-E3/5B and SMBJ6.0A share identical electrical specifications (VWM = 6.0 V, VBR = 6.67–7.37 V, VC ≤ 10.3 V) and DO-214AA packaging, but SMB10J6.0-E3/5B carries AEC-Q101 qualification and is built to automotive-grade process controls, whereas SMBJ6.0A is commercial-grade only. Both are unidirectional, but only SMB10J6.0-E3/5B is approved for use in automotive powertrain and body control modules per OEM requirements.
