Product details
Overview
SMB8J24C-E3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection on signal and power lines. It features 24 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 38.9 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 20.6 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 800 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 µs waveform. Used to protect automotive sensor interfaces and industrial I/O circuits against ESD and load dump transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMB8J24C-E3/52 datasheet, SMB8J24C-E3/52 pinout, SMB8J24C-E3/52 application, or SMB8J24C-E3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include bi-directional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This bi-directional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, enabling robust protection of AC-coupled or differential signal paths without polarity constraints. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), while the low incremental surge resistance supports consistent clamping under repetitive surge events.
The device meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak, and its thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W) enables reliable operation up to TJ = 150 °C when mounted on recommended pad layout. It is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive-grade reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 24 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe signal swing range. |
| VBR min/max | 26.7 V / 29.5 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 1 mA test current; ensures predictable turn-on threshold. |
| VC @ IPPM | 38.9 V - Clamped voltage at 20.6 A peak pulse current; limits downstream voltage stress during surge. |
| PPPM | 800 W - Peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 µs waveform; determines survivability against lightning-induced surges. |
| ID @ VWM | <1.0 µA - Reverse leakage at stand-off voltage; minimizes quiescent power loss and signal distortion. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; sets thermal derating boundary for sustained operation. |
| Package | DO-214AA (SMB) - Surface-mount outline with 0.220" body length; compatible with standard SMB footprint and pick-and-place equipment. |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) package: bi-directional device with no polarity marking; symmetrical two-terminal construction. Cathode band absent-device functions identically in either orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Transient conduction path | Both terminals serve as bidirectional surge current entry/exit points; no fixed anode/cathode assignment. |
| Case | Thermal and mechanical interface | Plastic molded body provides UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and mechanical stability during reflow and board flex. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24CA-E3/52 | Same DO-214AA package and 24 V VWM, but rated for 1000 W PPPM (uni-directional only); not bi-directional. | Requires polarity-aware layout; unsuitable for AC or differential signal protection without redesign. | Select only if uni-directional clamping suffices and higher 1000 W rating is required for specific surge profiles. |
| SMCJ24CA-E3/52 | DO-214AB (SMC) package, same 24 V VWM and bi-directionality, but 1500 W PPPM and higher IPPM (33.3 A). | Larger footprint (7.11 mm × 6.22 mm vs. 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm) and higher thermal mass-requires PCB area and layout change. | Choose when system-level surge immunity exceeds 800 W and board space permits larger SMC package. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB8J24C-E3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB8J24C-E3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 20.6 A with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and ensures downstream circuitry remains below critical overvoltage thresholds during surge events. The SMB8J24C-E3/52 maintains this performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMB8J24C-E3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB8J24C-E3/52 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. Its glass-passivated junction, matte tin plating, and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility meet automotive manufacturing and reliability requirements. The SMB8J24C-E3/52 is commonly deployed in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor protection circuits.
How does SMB8J24C-E3/52 differ from uni-directional SMBJ24A variants?
The SMB8J24C-E3/52 is bi-directional with symmetrical clamping in both polarities, whereas SMBJ24A is uni-directional and requires correct cathode orientation. SMB8J24C-E3/52 has lower PPPM (800 W vs. 1000 W) and lower IPPM (20.6 A vs. 25.7 A) due to bi-directional architecture, but eliminates polarity-dependent layout errors. Both share DO-214AA packaging and 24 V VWM.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SMB8J24C-E3/52 at 24 V?
At its 24 V stand-off voltage (VWM), the SMB8J24C-E3/52 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at 25 °C. This low leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and minimizes standby power loss in battery-operated systems. Leakage remains well below 10 µA even at elevated temperatures up to 125 °C.
Does SMB8J24C-E3/52 require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes-the SMB8J24C-E3/52 achieves rated 800 W pulse power only when mounted on minimum recommended copper pads: 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) per terminal. Smaller pads increase thermal resistance and reduce surge capability. No polarity marking is present, so layout must accommodate symmetrical two-terminal placement. Thermal relief should be minimized to maintain low RθJA.
