Product details
Overview
SMBG24AHE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMBG (DO-215AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 24 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 26.7–29.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 38.9 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 15.4 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed in automotive power line and sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG24AHE3/52 datasheet, SMBG24AHE3/52 pinout, SMBG24AHE3/52 application, or SMBG24AHE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C max junction temperature, low incremental surge resistance, 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: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (>1 μA leakage at 24 V), then rapidly avalanches below 38.9 V to divert transient energy away from downstream ICs or MOSFETs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and long-term reliability under repetitive surge stress.
The device is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), supports 0.01 % duty cycle repetitive operation, and exhibits thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) when mounted per recommended pad layout - enabling effective thermal management in compact automotive and industrial PCB designs.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VWM | 24 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates; defines safe signal/power rail margin |
| VBR (min/max) | 26.7 V / 29.5 V at 1 mA - precise avalanche onset range ensuring consistent turn-on across production lots |
| VC @ IPPM | 38.9 V at 15.4 A - clamping voltage during 600 W transient; limits downstream voltage stress to safe levels |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 μs waveform; validates protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables use in under-hood automotive environments |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - certified for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing |

Applications
| Automotive Power Line Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 24 V supply rails in vehicle ECUs from load dump and alternator transients per ISO 16750-2. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional shunt TVS placed between battery rail and local regulator input.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed between gate and source to clamp dv/dt-induced overshoot exceeding driver's VGS rating. Use Value: 38.9 V clamping prevents gate oxide breakdown in 30 V-rated drivers; AEC-Q101 ensures reliability in motor control modules. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24A-E3/52 | Same SMB package, 24 V VWM, but lower 400 W PPPM; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Targeted at industrial/commercial rather than automotive systems | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs peak surge margin |
| SMCJ24AHE3/52 | Higher 1500 W PPPM, same VWM/VC, but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package | Used where higher surge endurance is needed and board space permits larger footprint | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W or requires extended lifetime under repetitive events |
Compared with SMBJ24A-E3/52, SMBG24AHE3/52 delivers +50 % peak power headroom and automotive qualification; versus SMCJ24AHE3/52, it trades 60 % smaller PCB area for reduced surge capacity - making SMBG24AHE3/52 optimal for space-constrained AEC-Q101-compliant designs needing 600 W protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBG24AHE3/52 and how is it measured?
The SMBG24AHE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V, measured at its peak pulse current (IPPM) of 15.4 A using a 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform. This value is guaranteed per Vishay's datasheet (Document Number: 88456) and reflects worst-case voltage seen by protected circuitry during standardized surge events - critical for verifying compatibility with downstream IC voltage ratings.
Is SMBG24AHE3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG24AHE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use. Its construction includes glass-passivated junction, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and validation across temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD tests - making SMBG24AHE3/52 appropriate for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS modules per ISO/TS 16949 requirements.
What does the "HE3" suffix mean in SMBG24AHE3/52?
The "HE3" suffix in SMBG24AHE3/52 indicates RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified construction with matte tin-plated leads. Per Vishay's ordering nomenclature, "HE3" denotes industrial-grade, halogen-free, and automotive-qualified versions - distinguishing it from "E3" (RoHS, non-automotive) and "HM3" (halogen-free + AEC-Q101). This ensures traceability to qualified manufacturing lots.
How does SMBG24AHE3/52 differ from SMBJ24A-E3/52?
SMBG24AHE3/52 offers 600 W peak pulse power and AEC-Q101 qualification in the smaller SMBG (DO-215AA) package, whereas SMBJ24A-E3/52 provides only 400 W and lacks automotive qualification. Both share 24 V VWM, but SMBG24AHE3/52's higher surge rating and qualification make it the preferred choice for automotive and mission-critical industrial deployments where reliability and margin are essential.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBG24AHE3/52 and how does it affect layout?
SMBG24AHE3/52 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes minimum recommended pad layout; reducing pad size or omitting thermal vias increases RθJA, risking junction overheating during repetitive surges - so PCB layout must strictly follow Vishay's mounting recommendations to maintain SMBG24AHE3/52 within its 150 °C TJ limit.
