Product details
Overview
SMB10J7.5AHM3/I 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. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and halogen-free, targeting automotive power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J7.5AHM3/I datasheet, SMB10J7.5AHM3/I pinout, SMB10J7.5AHM3/I application, or SMB10J7.5AHM3/I equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 100 A surge, thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast response (<1 ns) to ESD and lightning-induced transients. Its low incremental surge resistance enables stable clamping during high-current surges up to 100 A (IFSM), while maintaining low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) at 7.5 V operating voltage.
The device operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. Its SMB (DO-214AA) package provides 72 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and supports high-power density board layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 7.5 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin for 5 V–12 V DC rails. |
| VBR min/max | 8.33 V / 9.21 V at IT = 1.0 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold ensures reliable turn-on during overvoltage events without premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPPM | 12.9 V at 77.5 A - Clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during 10/1000 µs surge; <5.4 V overhead above VWM enables robust system-level protection. |
| PPPM | 1000 W - Peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform; supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV) surge immunity when properly mounted. |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper pads, critical for repetitive surge handling. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per AEC standard. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Surface-mount outline with 0.220" × 0.130" footprint; compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place and reflow profiles. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, polarity indicated by cathode band. Mounting requires minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pad per terminal per Vishay recommended layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference node | Connected to ground or low-voltage return path; forms current path during reverse-biased clamping event. |
| Cathode | Protected line input | Connected to supply rail or signal line being protected; color band identifies this terminal for correct orientation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and long-term reliability under thermal cycling and humidity exposure. |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C peak without moisture-induced damage or popcorn effect. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | Meets automotive environmental requirements (IEC 61249-2-21) and eliminates brominated flame retardants. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VWM) | 1.72 - High clamping efficiency minimizes voltage overshoot on protected circuits relative to operating voltage. |
| Fast response time | <1 ns - Enables suppression of ESD (IEC 61000-4-2) and fast-rising transients before sensitive components are damaged. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V battery-fed ECUs against load dump and alternator ripple transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between power input and ground to clamp positive surges above 7.5 V.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS deployed on each DC input leg to ground in redundant configuration for telecom-grade surge immunity. Use Value: 77.5 A IPPM and 20 °C/W RθJL enable sustained operation under repeated 10/1000 µs surges per IEC 61000-4-5. |
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 | Same VWM (7.5 V), VBR (8.33–9.21 V), and PPPM (1000 W); RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free; commercial grade only (no AEC-Q101). | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance requirements and halogen-free materials are not required. |
| SMB10J7.5A-M3/5B | Identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; differs only in packaging-13" tape-and-reel (3200 pcs) vs. SMB10J7.5AHM3/I's 13" tape-and-reel with I carrier code. | No functional difference; same board-level performance and reliability. | Choose based on procurement logistics-HM3/I denotes halogen-free, AEC-Q101, and I-carrier reel; M3/5B is same spec but different reel marking. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMB10J7.5AHM3/I under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMB10J7.5AHM3/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 12.9 V at 77.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and confirmed in Vishay's datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024, Document Number 88422. The clamping performance ensures downstream circuitry remains within safe operating limits during standardized surge events.
Is SMB10J7.5AHM3/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J7.5AHM3/I is AEC-Q101 qualified and carries the HM3 suffix, indicating halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and automotive-grade reliability. It undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and ESD per AEC-Q101 requirements. This makes SMB10J7.5AHM3/I suitable for use in engine control modules, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to lead (RθJL) for SMB10J7.5AHM3/I?
The SMB10J7.5AHM3/I has a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 20 °C/W, as specified in the Thermal Characteristics section of Vishay's datasheet. This low value enables efficient heat dissipation into PCB copper pads during repetitive surge events, supporting reliable operation in thermally constrained automotive and industrial layouts.
How does the SMB10J7.5AHM3/I differ from the SMBJ7.5AHE3/A in terms of compliance?
SMB10J7.5AHM3/I is halogen-free and AEC-Q101 qualified, whereas SMBJ7.5AHE3/A is RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free and lacks AEC-Q101 certification. Both share identical electrical parameters (VWM = 7.5 V, VC = 12.9 V, PPPM = 1000 W), but SMB10J7.5AHM3/I meets stricter automotive material and reliability standards required by Tier-1 suppliers.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for SMB10J7.5AHM3/I?
Vishay specifies a minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pad for each terminal of SMB10J7.5AHM3/I to achieve rated power dissipation and thermal performance. The SMB (DO-214AA) package outline and mounting dimensions are detailed in page 5 of datasheet 88422, ensuring optimal solder joint reliability and surge current handling capability for SMB10J7.5AHM3/I.
