Product details
Overview
SMB10J7.5AHM3_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 test current, 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 SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H datasheet, SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H pinout, SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H application, or SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 100 A surge, AEC-Q101 qualification status, 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 unidirectional avalanche diode, leveraging glass-passivated junction technology to achieve fast response time (<1 ps) and low incremental surge resistance. Its clamping behavior conforms to ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards, with defined derating above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 of the datasheet.
The SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H is rated for -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. Its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability requirements and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.5AHE3_A/H | Same VWM (7.5 V), VBR (8.33–9.21 V), and PPPM (1000 W), but commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101); RθJA = 72 °C/W identical | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements and qualification documentation is not required |
| SMB10J7.5A-E3/52 | Identical electrical specs and SMB package, but RoHS-compliant commercial grade (E3 suffix); no halogen-free or AEC-Q101 claim | Not qualified for automotive use; intended for consumer and general industrial applications | Choose for non-automotive volume production where halogen-free content is not specified and AEC-Q101 is unnecessary |
Compared with SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H, SMBJ7.5AHE3_A/H offers identical clamping and thermal performance but omits AEC-Q101 validation, while SMB10J7.5A-E3/52 removes both halogen-free and automotive qualifications - making the HM3 variant the only choice for Tier 1 automotive supply chains requiring full compliance traceability.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 12.9 V at 77.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value represents the highest voltage the device allows across its terminals during a full-rated surge event, directly defining the protection level for downstream components. The SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and carries the HM3 suffix indicating halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and automotive-grade construction. It has passed stress tests including high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling (TC), unbiased highly accelerated stress test (UHAST), and ESD per AEC-Q101. The SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H is explicitly designated for use in engine control units, ADAS sensors, and body electronics where automotive reliability is mandatory.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H?
The "HM3" suffix in SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101 qualified construction. It distinguishes this variant from commercial-grade versions (e.g., E3 or M3) and confirms compliance with automotive environmental and reliability standards. The "_A/H" further specifies packaging: "A" indicates the revision code, and "H" denotes 7″ tape-and-reel delivery with 750 units per reel - a detail confirmed in Vishay's ordering information table.
How does SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H compare to SMBJ7.5AHE3_A/H in terms of surge capability?
SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H and SMBJ7.5AHE3_A/H share identical electrical specifications: 7.5 V VWM, 8.33–9.21 V VBR, 12.9 V VC at 77.5 A, and 1000 W PPPM. Their thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W) and package (SMB/DO-214AA) are also identical. The core difference lies in qualification: SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and halogen-free, whereas SMBJ7.5AHE3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified but not halogen-free - making SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H the compliant choice for strict automotive material declarations.
What PCB layout guidance applies to SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H for optimal thermal performance?
For optimal thermal performance, SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H must be mounted on minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, as specified in the datasheet's derating curves. These pads provide the 72 °C/W RθJA value; reducing pad area increases junction temperature and reduces surge current capability. The SMB10J7.5AHM3_A/H footprint matches standard SMB (DO-214AA) land patterns, and its matte tin-plated leads ensure reliable solder joint formation per J-STD-002.
