Product details
Overview
SMB8J24CHE3/5B 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 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 SMB8J24CHE3/5B datasheet, SMB8J24CHE3/5B pinout, SMB8J24CHE3/5B application, or SMB8J24CHE3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include bi-directional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS-compliant HE3 suffix, and compatibility with 0.2" × 0.2" copper pad layout per JEDEC standards.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector, responding within <1 ns to transients exceeding its 26.7–29.5 V breakdown range (VBR at 1 mA). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1 µA at 24 V) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling consistent clamping under repetitive surge stress.
Thermal design relies on RθJA = 72 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W, requiring minimum 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal for rated 800 W dissipation. The HE3 suffix confirms AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, supporting automotive under-hood deployment up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 24 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe signal line bias margin. |
| VBR min/max | 26.7 V / 29.5 V - Breakdown occurs within this band at 1 mA test current; ensures predictable turn-on across production lot. |
| VC @ IPPM | 38.9 V - Clamped voltage at 20.6 A peak pulse current; determines maximum stress imposed on protected IC inputs. |
| PPPM | 800 W - Peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 µs waveform; validates robustness against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2/5a surges. |
| ID @ VWM | <1 µA - Reverse leakage at 24 V; negligible loading on high-impedance sensor or communication lines. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in engine control units and motor drive enclosures. |

Use Value: Meets ISO 10605 ±8 kV contact discharge requirement without adding capacitance that degrades 1 Gbps video signal integrity. |
Use Scenario: Guarding RS-485 half-duplex transceiver (e.g., SN65HVD230) against lightning-induced surges on long industrial cable runs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary surge suppression stage upstream of TVS array or integrated protection, handling bulk energy before secondary clamping. Use Value: Withstands 20.6 A peak current at 38.9 V clamping, limiting transceiver common-mode stress well below absolute maximum ratings. |
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 | Same VWM (24 V) and VC (38.9 V), but rated for 600 W PPPM (vs. 800 W); non-AEC-Q101, E3 suffix only. | Limited to commercial-grade industrial or consumer systems without automotive qualification requirements. | Select when AEC-Q101 is not mandated and lower surge rating suffices for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 testing. |
| SMCJ24CA | Same VWM and VC, but DO-214AB (SMC) package; 1500 W PPPM rating and higher thermal mass (RθJA = 35 °C/W). | Better suited for high-repetition surge environments or PCBs with limited copper area where SMB thermal limits are exceeded. | Choose when board space allows larger SMC footprint and sustained surge duty cycle exceeds SMB8J24CHE3/5B derating limits. |
Compared with SMBJ24CA and SMCJ24CA, SMB8J24CHE3/5B uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, 800 W surge capacity, and compact SMB footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive modules requiring validated reliability.

FAQ
What does the 'HE3' suffix indicate in SMB8J24CHE3/5B?
The HE3 suffix in SMB8J24CHE3/5B denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. This distinguishes it from commercial-grade E3 variants and confirms suitability for automotive under-hood applications where reliability and plating integrity are critical. SMB8J24CHE3/5B meets all stress tests defined in AEC-Q101 Rev D.
Is SMB8J24CHE3/5B unidirectional or bidirectional?
SMB8J24CHE3/5B is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor, meaning it provides symmetrical clamping for positive and negative transients without polarity sensitivity. Its datasheet specifies VBR and VC values for both polarities, and the DO-214AA package carries no cathode band marking-confirming true bi-directionality. SMB8J24CHE3/5B is not interchangeable with unidirectional variants like SMB10J24A.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMB8J24CHE3/5B and at what current is it specified?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of SMB8J24CHE3/5B is 38.9 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 20.6 A using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across temperature and production lot, and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. SMB8J24CHE3/5B maintains this clamping performance up to TJ = 150 °C.
Can SMB8J24CHE3/5B be used in place of SMBJ24CA?
SMB8J24CHE3/5B can functionally replace SMBJ24CA in most surge protection roles due to identical VWM (24 V), VBR (26.7–29.5 V), and VC (38.9 V), but it offers higher PPPM (800 W vs. 600 W) and AEC-Q101 qualification. However, SMB8J24CHE3/5B is not a drop-in replacement if the design relies on non-automotive qualification or requires the exact thermal profile of the SMBJ series. Always verify layout and derating per application conditions for SMB8J24CHE3/5B.
What PCB pad layout is recommended for SMB8J24CHE3/5B to achieve rated power dissipation?
To achieve the full 800 W peak pulse power rating, SMB8J24CHE3/5B requires mounting on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, as specified in Vishay Document 88422. Smaller pads reduce thermal dissipation capability and require derating per Figure 2 in the datasheet. The DO-214AA outline and pad dimensions are standardized per JEDEC MO-136, and SMB8J24CHE3/5B must be placed with symmetric thermal relief to avoid solder joint stress.
