Product details
Overview
SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for high-energy surge protection on DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 7.5 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 8.33–9.21 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1.0 mA, 12.9 V clamping voltage (VC) at 77.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1000 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive sensor interfaces and industrial I/O protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B datasheet, SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B pinout, SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B application, or SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 77.5 A surge, AEC-Q101 qualification status, RoHS-compliant E3 suffix, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, responding within <1 ps to transients induced by inductive switching or ESD events. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5% typical), low incremental surge resistance, and robust thermal performance up to TJ = 150 °C.
Designed for surface-mount integration, SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (peak reflow 260 °C), supports 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (IFSM), and delivers consistent clamping across temperature due to its low RθJA (72 °C/W) and RθJL (20 °C/W) thermal resistances.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial PLC I/O Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CAN/LIN bus transceivers and analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) from load-dump and jump-start transients in vehicle ECUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between sensor signal line and ground, clamping surges before they reach precision amplifier inputs. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity under ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (75 V/350 ms) with VC ≤ 12.9 V, preventing ADC saturation or op-amp latch-up. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding digital input channels of programmable logic controllers exposed to relay coil flyback and field wiring ESD in factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Mounted at connector entry point to shunt inductive kickback from 24 V DC solenoids and contactors. Use Value: Absorbs 1000 W pulses without degradation, enabling >100,000 surge cycles per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance. |
| DC Power Rail Protection | Consumer USB Port Protection |
Use Scenario: Guarding 5–12 V DC power distribution networks in telecom base stations against lightning-induced surges on PoE injectors or backup battery lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Placed upstream of DC-DC converters to limit input rail overvoltage and prevent secondary damage to regulators. Use Value: Clamps 77.5 A surge within 12.9 V, preserving converter enable thresholds and avoiding brownout resets. | Use Scenario: Protecting USB 2.0 data lines and VBUS in portable docking stations from ESD events per IEC 61000-4-2 ±15 kV contact discharge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional variants are used for data lines; SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B serves VBUS where unidirectional clamping suffices. Use Value: Delivers sub-100 ps response and <100 nA leakage at 5 V, eliminating signal attenuation while meeting USB-IF ESD requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.5A-E3/5B | Same SMB package, identical VWM/VBR/VC specs, but rated for 600 W PPPM (vs. 1000 W) | Limited to lower-energy transients; not suitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a | Select SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B when full 1000 W surge margin is required for automotive or industrial mains-connected systems |
| 1.5SMC7.5A | Higher-power SMC package (1500 W), larger footprint (7.11 × 6.22 mm vs. 4.57 × 3.94 mm), same electrical specs | Requires PCB layout change; better for high-reliability aerospace or rail where derating >50% is mandated | Choose SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B for space-constrained SMT designs needing AEC-Q101 and 1000 W in minimal area |
Compared with SMBJ7.5A-E3/5B and 1.5SMC7.5A, SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B uniquely balances 1000 W surge capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, and SMB footprint - making it optimal for automotive body electronics and compact industrial controllers where both performance and board area are constrained.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 12.9 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 77.5 A using a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures downstream components see limited overvoltage during surge events. The SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its operational temperature range.
Is SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation (Document Number 88422, Revision 09-Jan-2024). The "HE3" variant is explicitly designated for automotive use, but the E3 suffix - used in SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B - denotes RoHS-compliant commercial grade with full AEC-Q101 test compliance per the SMB10J family specification. The SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B meets stress tests including temperature cycling, HTRB, and surge endurance required for under-hood deployment.
What does the "-E3/5B" suffix indicate in SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B?
The "-E3/5B" suffix in SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B specifies two attributes: "E3" indicates RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads; "/5B" denotes packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 3200 units per reel. This format supports high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly and aligns with IPC-7351 standards for SMB (DO-214AA) footprint placement.
How does SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like SMB8J7.5CA?
SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B is unidirectional with cathode marking and blocks reverse current until VBR is exceeded, whereas SMB8J7.5CA is bidirectional and symmetrical for AC-coupled lines. SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B offers 1000 W PPPM (vs. 800 W for SMB8J7.5CA) and higher IPPM (77.5 A vs. 62.0 A), making it preferable for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed. The SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B also supports 100 A IFSM, unlike bidirectional variants which lack forward surge rating.
What is the thermal resistance profile of SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B and how does it affect PCB layout?
SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B 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 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. To maintain safe operation at 150 °C max junction temperature, designers must allocate adequate copper area and avoid thermal bottlenecks. The SMB10J7.5A-E3/5B datasheet specifies minimum pad dimensions (0.086" × 0.060") to achieve these values - undersized pads increase RθJA and risk thermal runaway during repeated surges.
