Product details
Overview
SMB10J7.5HE3/52 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 mA, 12.9 V clamping voltage (VC) at 100 A peak pulse current, and 1000 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used in automotive sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J7.5HE3/52 datasheet, SMB10J7.5HE3/52 pinout, SMB10J7.5HE3/52 application, or SMB10J7.5HE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 100 A surge, unidirectional polarity for DC rail placement, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive environments, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VBR, it avalanches to divert surge current away from downstream ICs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low leakage (≤1.0 µA at VWM), while its low incremental surge resistance enables rapid energy absorption without thermal runaway.
The device is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and exhibits 72 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard 0.2" × 0.2" pads. Its 10/1000 µs waveform response meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 requirements when applied with appropriate PCB layout and series impedance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 7.5 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; sets upper limit for protected circuit's nominal DC rail. |
| VBR (min/max) | 8.33 V / 9.21 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures reliable turn-on margin above VWM while avoiding false triggering. |
| VC @ IPPM | 12.9 V at 100 A - Clamping voltage during full-rated surge; defines worst-case overvoltage seen by protected load. |
| PPPM | 1000 W - Peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 µs waveform; determines survivability against lightning-induced transients. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - Reverse leakage at stand-off voltage; critical for low-power sensor bias networks and battery-backed circuits. |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; supports operation in under-hood automotive environments with proper thermal pad design. |
| Package | DO-214AA (SMB) - Standard surface-mount outline with cathode band marking; compatible with J-STD-020 MSL level 1 reflow profile (260 °C peak). |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) package: molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, cathode indicated by color band on one end. Dimensions: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm (L × W × H); recommended pad layout: 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper per terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction path (for uni-directional operation) | Connected to lower-potential side of protected line (e.g., GND or return path); enables forward-biased conduction only during fault conditions. |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased clamping node | Connected to higher-potential side (e.g., +12 V rail); avalanche breakdown occurs here during overvoltage events to clamp voltage to VC. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock-enables use in engine control modules and ADAS sensors. |

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 and 7.5 V VWM, but rated for 600 W PPPM (vs. 1000 W) and 60 A IPPM (vs. 100 A); not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Limited to commercial-grade industrial or consumer applications where surge severity is lower and automotive qualification is unnecessary. | Select SMBJ7.5A-E3/52 only if system-level surge testing confirms 600 W rating suffices and AEC-Q101 is not required. |
| 1.5SMC7.5A | DO-214AB (SMC) package (larger footprint), same 7.5 V VWM, 1000 W PPPM, but higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 11 °C/W vs. 72 °C/W) and no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Requires more PCB area and offers inferior thermal performance on small pads; suitable only where space permits and automotive compliance is waived. | Choose 1.5SMC7.5A only when higher surge repetition rate demands better steady-state power dissipation and AEC-Q101 is not mandated. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J7.5HE3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J7.5HE3/52 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 per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on the protected circuit during worst-case surge events. The SMB10J7.5HE3/52 maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is SMB10J7.5HE3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J7.5HE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use, including engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS camera systems. Its qualification covers temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity testing per automotive reliability standards. The HE3 suffix denotes AEC-Q101 compliance, distinguishing it from commercial-grade variants like SMB10J7.5A-E3/52. SMB10J7.5HE3/52 meets these requirements without derating.
What is the difference between SMB10J7.5HE3/52 and SMBJ7.5A-E3/52?
SMB10J7.5HE3/52 delivers 1000 W peak pulse power (PPPM) and 100 A peak pulse current (IPPM), whereas SMBJ7.5A-E3/52 is rated for 600 W and 60 A. Additionally, SMB10J7.5HE3/52 carries AEC-Q101 qualification (denoted by HE3), while SMBJ7.5A-E3/52 is commercial grade only. Both share the DO-214AA package and 7.5 V stand-off voltage, but SMB10J7.5HE3/52 provides higher surge robustness and automotive certification. SMB10J7.5HE3/52 is not a drop-in replacement due to differing surge ratings and qualification status.
What PCB layout guidance applies to SMB10J7.5HE3/52 for optimal thermal and electrical performance?
For optimal performance, mount SMB10J7.5HE3/52 on minimum 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal, as specified in the Vishay datasheet. Avoid narrow traces between the TVS and protected node to minimize inductance-keep connections short and wide. Use thermal vias under pads if board layer count permits, and ensure ground plane continuity beneath the device. These practices maintain low clamping impedance and prevent localized overheating during repeated surges. SMB10J7.5HE3/52 thermal performance is validated using this layout.
Does SMB10J7.5HE3/52 have polarity markings, and how is it oriented on the PCB?
Yes, SMB10J7.5HE3/52 is unidirectional and marked with a cathode band on the package body-this band identifies the cathode terminal. During PCB placement, the cathode band must align with the designated cathode net (typically the higher-potential side, e.g., +12 V rail), while the anode connects to the lower-potential side (e.g., GND or return path). Incorrect orientation will prevent proper clamping function. The SMB10J7.5HE3/52 datasheet specifies this polarity in the mechanical drawings and electrical characteristics table.
