Product details
Overview
SMBG24AHE3/5B 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 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 sensor signal lines and industrial I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG24AHE3/5B datasheet, SMBG24AHE3/5B pinout, SMBG24AHE3/5B application, or SMBG24AHE3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 15.4 A surge, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, RoHS compliance with matte tin leads, and thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W) on standard 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a shunt-clamping device that remains high-impedance below 24 V and rapidly transitions to low-impedance conduction above its 26.7–29.5 V breakdown threshold. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and fast response time (<1 ns), critical for protecting MOSFET gates and microcontroller I/O pins from ESD and inductive switching transients.
The SMBG24AHE3/5B is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), junction temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C, and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. Its cathode-band polarity marking and DO-215AA mechanical outline enable automated placement and reliable solder joint formation per J-STD-002.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 24 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe signal line operating margin. |
| VBR (min/max) | 26.7 V / 29.5 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range; ensures predictable turn-on during transients. |
| VC @ IPPM | 38.9 V at 15.4 A - Clamped voltage during 600 W 10/1000 µs surge; limits stress on downstream ICs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24A-E3/5B | Same VWM/VBR/VC, but lower PPPM = 600 W (same rating), different package (SMB vs. SMBG); RθJA = 110 °C/W vs. 100 °C/W. | Less thermal margin on dense PCBs; identical clamping performance for most 24 V signal lines. | Select SMBJ24A-E3/5B only if legacy SMB footprint is required; SMBG24AHE3/5B offers superior thermal performance. |
| SMCJ24AHE3/5B | Higher PPPM = 1500 W, larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same VWM/VBR/VC; RθJA = 40 °C/W. | Used where higher surge endurance or lower thermal resistance is mandatory, e.g., main power rail protection. | Choose SMCJ24AHE3/5B when system-level surge tests exceed 600 W; SMBG24AHE3/5B fits space-constrained layouts. |
Compared with SMBJ24A-E3/5B, SMBG24AHE3/5B delivers lower thermal resistance for equivalent surge ratings; versus SMCJ24AHE3/5B, it trades 900 W peak power headroom for 40% smaller board area and compatibility with fine-pitch automated placement.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBG24AHE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBG24AHE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V at 15.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per standard test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBG24AHE3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBG24AHE3/5B qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG24AHE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed rigorous stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and ESD robustness required for automotive electronic components. Its HE3 suffix explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, and it is routinely deployed in engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS sensor interfaces where reliability under harsh conditions is mandatory.
What does the "HE3/5B" suffix indicate in SMBG24AHE3/5B?
The "HE3" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification, while "5B" specifies packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with a base quantity of 3200 units. This format supports high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly. The SMBG24AHE3/5B is not halogen-free (that would require HM3 suffix) but meets all applicable environmental and automotive reliability standards.
How does SMBG24AHE3/5B compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBG24CA?
The SMBG24AHE3/5B is unidirectional and intended for DC-biased lines where polarity is fixed, offering lower leakage (<1.0 µA) and no symmetrical breakdown behavior. In contrast, SMBG24CA is bidirectional with identical VWM and VBR in both directions, suited for AC or floating signal paths. The SMBG24AHE3/5B cannot replace SMBG24CA in AC-coupled applications due to its inherent polarity dependence and asymmetric conduction.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBG24AHE3/5B, and how does it affect layout design?
The SMBG24AHE3/5B 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 per Vishay's datasheet; reducing pad size increases thermal impedance and may derate surge capability. For sustained surge duty cycles, designers should verify junction temperature rise using this RθJA and actual power dissipation in the SMBG24AHE3/5B.
