Product details
Overview
SMB8J24CHE3/52 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. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used to protect automotive sensor interfaces and industrial I/O circuits against ESD and load dump transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMB8J24CHE3/52 datasheet, SMB8J24CHE3/52 pinout, SMB8J24CHE3/52 application, or SMB8J24CHE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include bi-directional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, 24 V working voltage compatibility, thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W), and DO-214AA mounting requirements for automotive-grade PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This bi-directional TVS diode 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 fast clamping response under 10/1000 µs transients.
The device is rated for -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. Its 72 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance requires minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal for full 800 W rating compliance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 24 V - Maximum continuous reverse stand-off voltage before conduction begins; defines safe operating range for protected circuit. |
| VBR min / max | 26.7 V / 29.5 V - Breakdown voltage range at 1 mA test current; ensures reliable triggering above normal operating voltage. |
| VC @ IPPM | 38.9 V at 20.6 A - Clamping voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; limits transient voltage seen by downstream ICs. |
| PPPM | 800 W - Peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 µs waveform; determines energy absorption capacity per transient event. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - Reverse leakage current at 24 V; negligible loading on high-impedance sensor or communication lines. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive environments. |
| RθJA | 72 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; dictates required PCB copper area for thermal management. |

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 600 W PPPM (vs. 800 W) and 15.5 A IPPM (vs. 20.6 A); not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Limited to commercial-grade industrial equipment; unsuitable for automotive under-hood use due to qualification gap and lower surge margin. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and higher surge immunity requirements. |
| SMCJ24CAHE3/52 | DO-214AB (SMC) package, same 24 V VWM and AEC-Q101 qualification, but rated for 1500 W PPPM and 39.4 A IPPM; larger footprint (7.11 × 6.22 mm vs. 4.57 × 3.94 mm). | Supports higher-energy transients in battery management or alternator regulation systems; requires PCB layout revision for larger pad area. | Select when system-level surge testing exceeds 800 W or when design margin must accommodate aging derating. |
Compared with SMBJ24CA-E3/52 and SMCJ24CAHE3/52, SMB8J24CHE3/52 uniquely balances AEC-Q101 qualification, 800 W surge capability, and compact DO-214AA footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive sensor nodes where both reliability and board area are critical.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMB8J24CHE3/52?
SMB8J24CHE3/52 is a bi-directional TVS diode with symmetrical terminals and no polarity marking. It conducts equally in both directions once the breakdown voltage is exceeded, making it ideal for protecting AC-coupled signals, differential buses like CAN, or unidirectional lines where reverse voltage risk exists. The device does not have a cathode band, unlike uni-directional variants.
Is SMB8J24CHE3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB8J24CHE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, making it suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics. Its 800 W peak pulse power rating and 24 V stand-off voltage align with ISO 16750-2 load dump and ISO 7637-2 transient immunity requirements commonly specified for engine control units and sensor modules.
What is the clamping voltage of SMB8J24CHE3/52 under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of SMB8J24CHE3/52 is 38.9 V at 20.6 A peak pulse current (IPPM), tested with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value represents the upper limit of voltage imposed on the protected circuit during worst-case transient events, ensuring downstream 3.3 V or 5 V logic components remain within safe operating limits when properly decoupled.
Does SMB8J24CHE3/52 require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes - to achieve its rated 800 W peak pulse power, SMB8J24CHE3/52 must be mounted on minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, per Vishay's thermal characterization. Smaller pads reduce heat dissipation, derating both power handling and surge current capability. Thermal vias under pads are recommended for high-reliability automotive designs.
How does the HE3 suffix affect SMB8J24CHE3/52?
HE3 indicates RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. This distinguishes SMB8J24CHE3/52 from commercial-grade E3-suffix parts (e.g., SMBJ24CA-E3/52), confirming suitability for automotive production and long-life industrial deployments where metallurgical reliability under thermal cycling is critical.
