Product details
Overview
SMB10J8.0A-E3/5B 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 8.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 13.6 V clamping voltage (VC) at 73.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J8.0A-E3/5B datasheet, SMB10J8.0A-E3/5B pinout, SMB10J8.0A-E3/5B application, or SMB10J8.0A-E3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, unidirectional polarity for DC rail protection, RoHS-compliant matte tin terminations, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector, activating when reverse voltage exceeds its 8.89–9.83 V breakdown range (VBR at 1.0 mA). Its glass-passivated junction enables fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance, ensuring reliable suppression of ESD, load dump, and inductive switching transients.
Thermally, it sustains operation from –55 °C to +150 °C with RθJA = 72 °C/W (on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm pads) and handles non-repetitive 100 A forward surge (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine). The E3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance and commercial-grade qualification per JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ8.0A-E3/52 | Same electrical specs and SMB package; differs only in reel size (750 pcs vs. 3200 pcs) and packaging code (52 vs. 5B) | No functional difference; identical performance and footprint | Select SMBJ8.0A-E3/52 for smaller batch prototyping or where 7" tape reels are preferred |
| 1.5SMC8.0A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, 1.5x footprint area, RθJA = 30 °C/W | Better thermal dissipation but requires PCB layout change; not drop-in compatible | Choose 1.5SMC8.0A only when >1000 W surge margin is required and board space allows SMC footprint |
Compared with SMBJ8.0A-E3/52, SMB10J8.0A-E3/5B offers identical protection performance in the same SMB package but ships in higher-volume 13" reels; versus 1.5SMC8.0A, it trades thermal headroom for compactness-critical for space-constrained automotive modules.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J8.0A-E3/5B and how is it measured?
The SMB10J8.0A-E3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 13.6 V, measured at 73.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential surge waveform. This value reflects the actual voltage seen by downstream circuitry during worst-case transient events and is guaranteed across temperature and production lots per Vishay Document 88422.
Is SMB10J8.0A-E3/5B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J8.0A-E3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use. Its construction-including glass-passivated junction, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and operation up to +150 °C junction temperature-meets requirements for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS power domains. The "HE3" variant is fully automotive-grade; the E3 suffix denotes RoHS-compliant commercial grade with AEC-Q101 test data available.
What does the "-E3/5B" suffix mean in SMB10J8.0A-E3/5B?
The "E3" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with matte tin terminations meeting JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The "/5B" denotes packaging: 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel containing 3200 units. This contrasts with "/52", which specifies 7-inch reels of 750 units-same device, different logistics format.
How does SMB10J8.0A-E3/5B differ from bidirectional variants like SMB8J8.0CA?
SMB10J8.0A-E3/5B is unidirectional with cathode marking and optimized for DC rail protection, offering 1000 W PPPM and 73.5 A IPPM. In contrast, SMB8J8.0CA is bidirectional (no polarity marking), rated for 800 W and 58.8 A, and intended for AC-coupled or floating signal lines. Their VWM, VBR, and VC values match, but circuit topology and surge handling differ fundamentally.
What PCB pad layout is recommended for optimal thermal and surge performance of SMB10J8.0A-E3/5B?
Vishay specifies minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal for SMB10J8.0A-E3/5B to achieve rated RθJA = 72 °C/W and full 1000 W surge capability. Pad dimensions must follow the DO-214AA outline: 2.18–2.159 mm anode/cathode width, 5.59 mm overall length, with 1.52 mm minimum terminal spacing. Thermal relief is discouraged for surge paths.
