Product details
Overview
SMB10J7.5HE3/5B 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 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 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 used in automotive power supply input protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J7.5HE3/5B datasheet, SMB10J7.5HE3/5B pinout, SMB10J7.5HE3/5B application, or SMB10J7.5HE3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, unidirectional polarity for DC rail placement, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive environments, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on 0.2" × 0.2" 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 low incremental surge resistance enables effective energy absorption without thermal runaway.
The device is rated for -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature, with thermal resistance RθJA = 72 °C/W (typ.) and RθJL = 20 °C/W (typ.), supporting reliable operation in engine bay and power module applications where ambient temperatures exceed 105 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 7.5 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before conduction begins; sets minimum system operating margin above nominal rail. |
| VBR (min/max) | 8.33 V / 9.21 V at IT = 1 mA - tight breakdown tolerance ensures predictable turn-on across production lots and temperature. |
| VC @ IPPM | 12.9 V at 77.5 A - clamping voltage during 10/1000 µs surge defines worst-case overvoltage seen by protected circuitry. |
| PPPM | 1000 W - peak pulse power rating determines survivability against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a surges in automotive systems. |
| ID @ VWM | <1.0 µA - ultra-low reverse leakage preserves battery life in always-on vehicle modules and avoids false triggering. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - junction temperature limit enables use in under-hood ECUs and power converters without derating penalties. |
| Package | DO-214AA (SMB) - standardized surface-mount outline with cathode band marking; compatible with J-STD-020 MSL level 1 reflow. |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) package: molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, 0.220" (5.59 mm) body length, 0.155" (3.94 mm) width, and cathode band marking on one end. Designed for PCB mounting on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference node | Connected to ground or low-voltage return path; forms current sink during avalanche conduction. |
| Cathode | Protected line input | Connected to the line being protected (e.g., 12 V battery rail); carries full surge current during clamping event. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per stress test plan. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR over time and temperature, eliminates parameter drift due to moisture or contamination ingress. |
| MSL Level 1 | Rated for unlimited floor life and peak reflow up to 260 °C - supports standard lead-free SMT assembly without baking. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR) | 12.9 V / 8.33 V ≈ 1.55 - superior voltage limiting vs. competing 1000 W SMB devices, reducing stress on downstream MOSFETs and regulators. |
| Uni-directional polarity | Enables precise placement on positive DC rails only; eliminates risk of forward conduction during normal operation. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Input Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.5AHE3/5B | Same VWM (7.5 V), but lower PPPM (600 W) and higher VC (13.4 V at 43.5 A); not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Acceptable for non-automotive consumer or industrial use where surge energy is limited to ≤600 W. | Select SMBJ7.5AHE3/5B only if cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and clamping performance requirements. |
| 1.5SMC7.5AHE3/A | Higher package thermal mass (DO-214AB/SMC), same VWM/VC specs, but rated for 1500 W PPPM and AEC-Q101 qualified. | Preferred for high-reliability 24 V systems requiring >1000 W surge handling and enhanced thermal dissipation. | Choose 1.5SMC7.5AHE3/A when board space allows larger SMC footprint and system-level surge tests exceed 1000 W. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J7.5HE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J7.5HE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 12.9 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 77.5 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TJ = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMB10J7.5HE3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications.
Is SMB10J7.5HE3/5B suitable for bi-directional signal line protection?
No - SMB10J7.5HE3/5B is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended only for DC power rail or single-polarity signal protection. Its cathode band marking and asymmetric IV curve prevent safe operation on AC or bidirectional data lines. For such applications, use the bi-directional variant SMB8J7.5CAHE3/5B, which provides symmetrical clamping for ±7.5 V signal paths. The SMB10J7.5HE3/5B must be oriented with cathode toward the protected line and anode to ground.
Does SMB10J7.5HE3/5B meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes - SMB10J7.5HE3/5B is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in Vishay document 88422 (Revision 12-Nov-12). This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and ESD (HBM ≥ 8 kV), validating its suitability for automotive powertrain, chassis, and body electronics. The HE3 suffix denotes AEC-Q101 compliance, distinguishing it from commercial-grade E3 variants.
What is the thermal resistance of SMB10J7.5HE3/5B, and how does it affect layout?
The SMB10J7.5HE3/5B has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 72 °C/W and junction-to-lead (RθJL) of 20 °C/W. To achieve rated 1000 W pulse power, the PCB must use minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, as specified in the datasheet. Reducing pad size increases RθJA, causing higher junction temperature rise and potential derating of surge capability - especially critical in high-ambient-temperature automotive applications.
How does the leakage current of SMB10J7.5HE3/5B impact low-power systems?
The SMB10J7.5HE3/5B exhibits ≤1.0 µA maximum reverse leakage current (ID) at its 7.5 V stand-off voltage (VWM), measured at TA = 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage minimizes quiescent current draw in always-on automotive modules (e.g., CAN wake-up circuits), preserving battery life over extended parking periods. Leakage remains below 5 µA even at +125 °C, ensuring reliable operation in hot-cranking scenarios without compromising system sleep current budgets.
