Product details
Overview
SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/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 8.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 8.89–9.83 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 13.6 V clamping voltage (VC) at 73.5 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 sensor interface and power supply protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I datasheet, SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I pinout, SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I application, or SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, clamping performance under standardized surge conditions, thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W), and automotive-grade packaging details - all critical for ESD/surge co-design in safety-critical embedded systems.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, leveraging glass-passivated junction technology to achieve fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its clamping behavior is defined by a 10/1000 µs double-exponential surge waveform per ANSI/IEEE C62.35, with guaranteed VC ≤ 13.6 V at IPPM = 73.5 A.
Thermally, it sustains operation up to TJ = 150 °C and derates linearly above TA = 25 °C per Fig. 2; its RθJL = 20 °C/W enables effective heat transfer to PCB copper pads (0.2" × 0.2"). The matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, supporting automated SMT assembly and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ8.0AHE3_A/I | Same VWM (8.0 V), VBR (8.89–9.83 V), and VC (13.6 V), but RoHS-compliant only (not halogen-free); lacks HM3 environmental designation. | Approved for commercial/industrial use; not certified for halogen-free automotive programs requiring IEC 61249-2-21 compliance. | Select when halogen-free requirement is absent and cost optimization is prioritized over automotive material traceability. |
| SMAJ8.0A-HM3_A/I | Same electrical specs but in smaller SMA (DO-214AC) package; lower PPPM (400 W) and higher VC (14.4 V at 27.7 A). | Insufficient for 1000 W surge requirements; limited to low-energy signal-line protection where board space is constrained. | Choose only for space-constrained signal-level protection where peak surge energy remains below 400 W. |
Compared with SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I, SMBJ8.0AHE3_A/I offers identical clamping performance but lacks halogen-free certification required for Tier 1 automotive sourcing, while SMAJ8.0A-HM3_A/I sacrifices 60% peak power capability and increases clamping voltage - making neither a drop-in replacement for high-energy automotive power rail protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 13.6 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 73.5 A, measured using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across temperature and production lot, ensuring consistent overvoltage protection for downstream ICs connected to the same rail as SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I.
Is SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I is fully AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation (Document Number: 88422, Revision: 09-Jan-2024). The HM3 suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction validated for automotive use, including under-hood environments with operating junction temperatures up to +150 °C. This makes SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I suitable for deployment in ECUs, ADAS modules, and body control units.
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) and why does it matter for SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I?
The standoff voltage (VWM) of SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I is 8.0 V - the maximum DC or continuous peak reverse voltage the device can withstand without entering avalanche conduction. It must be selected ≥10–15% above the normal operating voltage of the protected line (e.g., 7 V nominal rail) to prevent leakage or thermal runaway. For SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I, this ensures compatibility with 8 V logic supplies and 12 V automotive systems with margin.
How does the SMB (DO-214AA) package of SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I affect thermal performance?
The SMB (DO-214AA) package of SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I provides a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 72 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per Vishay's recommended layout. This allows SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I to dissipate 1000 W surge energy without exceeding TJ = 150 °C during short-duration transients, provided PCB copper area and airflow meet spec - critical for sustained reliability in SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I deployments.
What is the reverse leakage current of SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I at its VWM?
The SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at its 8.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), measured at TA = 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage minimizes standby power loss in battery-operated systems and prevents false triggering in high-impedance sensing circuits - a key design advantage of SMB10J8.0AHM3_A/I in automotive and portable electronics.
