Product details
Overview
SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H 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 100 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1000 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 µs waveform. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used in automotive power supply input stages.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H datasheet, SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H pinout, SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H application, or SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 100 A surge, AEC-Q101 qualification status, unidirectional polarity for DC rail protection, thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon avalanche diode that enters controlled breakdown above its VWM to clamp transient overvoltages while diverting surge current away from protected circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR and low leakage (<1.0 µA at 7.5 V), and its low incremental surge resistance enables effective energy absorption without thermal runaway.
The SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H is rated for -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature, meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (peak reflow 260 °C), and uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Its unidirectional configuration requires cathode-band orientation during PCB layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 7.5 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC operating margin. |
| VBR min/max | 8.33 V / 9.21 V at IT = 1.0 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures reliable turn-on across process variation and temperature. |
| VC @ IPPM | 12.9 V at 100 A (10/1000 µs) - Clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during worst-case surge events. |
| PPPM | 1000 W - Peak pulse power rating determines maximum transient energy absorption capability. |
| ID @ VWM | <1.0 µA - Ultra-low reverse leakage preserves battery life and avoids false triggering in low-power systems. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables use in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial enclosures. |
| RθJA | 72 °C/W - Thermal resistance informs heatsinking requirements when operating near power derating limits. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile case with molded UL 94 V-0 compound and cathode band marking. Dimensions: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm (L × W × H); recommended pad layout: 5.59 mm × 2.18 mm minimum per terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| Anode | Forward conduction path | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., GND or return path) in unidirectional TVS configuration. |
| Cathode (marked) | Reverse-biased clamping node | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail); conducts avalanche current during overvoltage events. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per stress test plan. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.5AHE3_A/H | Same SMB package, identical VWM/VBR/VC specs, but rated for 600 W PPPM (vs. 1000 W). | Limited to lower-energy transients; insufficient for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a compliance in 12 V automotive systems. | Select only if surge energy requirement is ≤600 W and cost sensitivity outweighs headroom needs. |
| SMCJ7.5AHE3_A/H | Same electrical specs but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; RθJA = 35 °C/W vs. 72 °C/W. | Better thermal performance allows sustained higher average power; requires larger PCB footprint (7.11 mm × 6.22 mm). | Choose when thermal management is critical and board space permits larger footprint. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 12.9 V when subjected to a 100 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under standardized test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its qualified temperature range (-55 °C to +150 °C) and is validated per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards.
Is SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designated for automotive use with ordering code suffix "HE3". It undergoes rigorous stress testing-including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and ESD verification-to ensure reliability in under-hood and cabin environments. The SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H is commonly deployed in BCM, ADAS sensor power supplies, and infotainment systems where ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2 compliance is required.
What is the difference between SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H and SMBJ7.5AHE3_A/H?
The SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H delivers 1000 W peak pulse power (PPPM), whereas the SMBJ7.5AHE3_A/H is rated for 600 W-despite identical VWM (7.5 V), VBR (8.33–9.21 V), and VC (12.9 V). This 400 W difference stems from optimized chip geometry and thermal design in the SMB10J series. The SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H is therefore preferred for high-energy transients like load dump, while SMBJ7.5AHE3_A/H suits lower-energy ESD or switching noise scenarios.
Does SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H have polarity markings, and how is it oriented on PCB?
Yes, SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H is unidirectional and features a visible cathode band on the package body. During PCB layout, the banded end must be connected to the line being protected (e.g., 12 V rail), while the anode connects to ground or return path. Incorrect orientation prevents clamping action and may result in catastrophic failure under reverse surge. The SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H datasheet specifies this polarity in mechanical drawings and electrical schematics.
What is the maximum operating temperature and thermal resistance of SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H?
The SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +150 °C and 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. This RθJA value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions and guides thermal design-e.g., doubling copper area reduces RθJA by ~20%, directly improving surge duty cycle capability. Derating curves in the SMB10J7.5AHE3_A/H datasheet define safe power limits above 25 °C ambient.
