Product details
Overview
SMB10J7.5-E3/52 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 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.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J7.5-E3/52 datasheet, SMB10J7.5-E3/52 pinout, SMB10J7.5-E3/52 application, or SMB10J7.5-E3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 100 A surge, unidirectional polarity for DC rail protection, RoHS-compliant commercial-grade packaging (E3 suffix), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector, activating when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold to divert transient energy to ground. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and robust surge handling up to 100 A with low incremental surge resistance.
Designed for industrial and automotive environments, it meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (260 °C peak reflow), supports -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature, and is qualified to AEC-Q101 when specified with HE3 suffix - though SMB10J7.5-E3/52 is the commercial E3 variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 7.5 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before clamping begins; sets safe operating margin for 5 V or 6 V DC systems. |
| VBR min/max | 8.33 V / 9.21 V at 1.0 mA - tight breakdown tolerance ensures predictable turn-on during transients. |
| VC @ IPPM | 12.9 V at 100 A - clamping voltage defines worst-case overvoltage seen by protected ICs during full-rated surge. |
| PPPM | 1000 W (10/1000 µs) - peak surge power rating determines immunity to IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - ultra-low leakage preserves battery life and avoids false triggering in low-power sensor circuits. |
| Package | DO-214AA (SMB) - surface-mount outline with 0.205" × 0.130" footprint, optimized for automated placement and thermal dissipation via copper pads. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive or enclosed industrial enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) package: molded plastic case with cathode band marking on one end; two terminals - anode and cathode - aligned linearly along the body axis. Mounting requires 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal for rated power derating.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.5A-E3/52 | Same DO-214AA package, identical VWM (7.5 V), VBR (8.33–9.21 V), VC (12.9 V), and PPPM (1000 W); differs only in part numbering convention (SMBJ vs SMB10). | No functional difference; SMBJ7.5A-E3/52 is Vishay's legacy designation for same die and construction. | Select SMBJ7.5A-E3/52 if cross-referencing older BOMs or legacy designs using SMBJ prefix. |
| 1.5SMC7.5A | Higher package thermal resistance (RθJA = 11°C/W vs 72°C/W), larger DO-214AB (SMC) footprint (0.285" × 0.175"), and same electrical specs (VWM = 7.5 V, VC = 12.9 V, PPPM = 1000 W). | Requires PCB layout change due to larger pad area and different mounting geometry; better suited for high-thermal-mass boards. | Choose 1.5SMC7.5A only when board space allows larger SMC package and enhanced thermal mass is needed for sustained surge duty cycles. |
Compared with SMBJ7.5A-E3/52, SMB10J7.5-E3/52 offers identical protection performance in the same footprint but reflects Vishay's updated naming convention; versus 1.5SMC7.5A, it delivers equivalent clamping and power rating in a 30% smaller area, reducing PCB real estate and enabling denser layouts without sacrificing surge capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMB10J7.5-E3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J7.5-E3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 12.9 V when subjected to its rated 100 A peak pulse current (IPPM) 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 full-rated surge events. The SMB10J7.5-E3/52 maintains this clamping performance across its operational temperature range, making it suitable for safety-critical DC rail protection.
Is SMB10J7.5-E3/52 suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101 qualification?
SMB10J7.5-E3/52 is the RoHS-compliant commercial-grade variant with E3 suffix and is not AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive applications, Vishay offers the HE3-suffixed version (e.g., SMB10J7.5AHE3/52), which carries full AEC-Q101 qualification. The SMB10J7.5-E3/52 shares identical electrical characteristics and package dimensions but lacks the extended reliability testing required for automotive grade. Always specify HE3 for under-hood or safety-related deployments.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SMB10J7.5-E3/52 at its stand-off voltage?
The SMB10J7.5-E3/52 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA when biased at its 7.5 V stand-off voltage (VWM) and tested at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in battery-powered systems and prevents interference with precision analog sensing circuits. Leakage remains within specification across the full -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature range, as confirmed in Vishay's thermal derating curves.
Does SMB10J7.5-E3/52 have polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes, SMB10J7.5-E3/52 is a unidirectional TVS diode and features a visible cathode band (typically black or dark stripe) on the package body, located at the cathode terminal end. This marking aligns with standard diode polarity conventions: the banded end connects to system ground during installation, while the opposite (unmarked) end connects to the line being protected. No marking is present on bi-directional variants, but SMB10J7.5-E3/52 is explicitly unidirectional per its "A" suffix and datasheet classification.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for SMB10J7.5-E3/52 to achieve full 1000 W pulse power rating?
To achieve the full 1000 W peak pulse power rating, SMB10J7.5-E3/52 must be mounted on minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads - one per terminal - with direct thermal connection to internal ground/power planes. Smaller pads cause thermal derating; at 25 °C ambient, power capability drops per Figure 2 in the Vishay datasheet. The DO-214AA (SMB) package outline and pad recommendations are detailed on page 5 of document 88422, including trace width and thermal via guidance for high-reliability designs.
