Product details
Overview
SMBG24C-E3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-215AA (SMBG) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features 24 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 26.7–29.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and clamps to ≤38.9 V at 15.4 A peak surge current - used in automotive sensor line protection and industrial I/O interface surge suppression.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG24C-E3/5B datasheet, SMBG24C-E3/5B pinout, SMBG24C-E3/5B application, or SMBG24C-E3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include bi-directional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, 150 °C max junction temperature, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This bi-directional TVS diode operates symmetrically in both polarities, with identical VBR, VC, and IPPM specifications for positive and negative transients. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and fast response time (<1.0 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD and inductive switching spikes.
The device meets UL 497B recognition (QVGQ2) and is rated for repetitive 600 W surges at 0.01% duty cycle. Thermal resistance is 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead), supporting reliable operation under sustained transient stress when mounted per recommended 0.2" × 0.2" pad layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 24 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR (min/max) | 26.7 V / 29.5 V at 1 mA - guaranteed breakdown threshold defining clamping onset |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤38.9 V at 15.4 A - peak clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting downstream stress |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling with standard 10/1000 µs waveform |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - ultra-low reverse leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance circuits |
| TJ max | +150 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| MSL Level | Level 1 (J-STD-020) - supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C peak without baking |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA (SMBG) surface-mount package: gull-wing leads, matte tin-plated, RoHS-compliant, no polarity marking (bi-directional). Dimensions: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.10 mm (L × W × H); cathode band omitted per bi-directional designation.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-level TVS placed after primary gas discharge tube (GDT), providing fast clamping response. Use Value: Low clamping voltage (≤38.9 V) ensures compliance with 30 V absolute maximum rating of RS-485 receivers while surviving 10/1000 µs 1 kV tests. |
Use Scenario: Protecting optocoupler feedback path in isolated AC/DC adapters from secondary-side transients caused by output short-circuit recovery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage clamp across TL431 reference input and phototransistor base, stabilizing regulation loop during fault events. Use Value: 24 V VWM aligns with typical 2.5–24 V feedback range; bi-directionality accommodates reverse-polarity transients during startup or fault recovery. |
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-E3/5B | Same DO-214AA (SMB) package but slightly higher VC (43.0 V @ 13.9 A); lower PPPM derating above 25 °C due to higher RθJA (125 °C/W) | Less suitable for space-constrained automotive modules where thermal margin is critical | Prefer SMBG24C-E3/5B when board area allows DO-215AA and thermal performance is prioritized |
| SMCJ24CA-E3/57T | Larger DO-214AB (SMC) package; higher PPPM (1500 W); VC = 38.9 V @ 38.9 A; same VWM/VBR range | Used where higher single-pulse energy absorption is required, e.g., main power rail protection | Select SMBG24C-E3/5B for signal-line applications needing compact size and AEC-Q101 validation; choose SMCJ24CA for bulk power clamping |
Compared with SMBJ24CA-E3/5B and SMCJ24CA-E3/57T, the SMBG24C-E3/5B offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 qualification, low-profile DO-215AA packaging, and superior thermal resistance (100 °C/W vs. 125 °C/W), making it preferred for automotive sensor nodes and dense industrial PCB layouts.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMBG24C-E3/5B?
The SMBG24C-E3/5B is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor, meaning it has no polarity marking and functions identically in both directions. Unlike uni-directional variants (e.g., SMBG24A), this device clamps voltage transients regardless of polarity - ideal for AC-coupled or differential signal lines where voltage reversal may occur. Its electrical characteristics apply symmetrically across both terminals.
Does SMBG24C-E3/5B meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SMBG24C-E3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and ESD per JESD22-A114. This qualification confirms its suitability for automotive applications such as body control modules, ADAS sensor interfaces, and powertrain subsystems where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is mandatory.
What is the maximum clamping voltage for SMBG24C-E3/5B under surge conditions?
The SMBG24C-E3/5B clamps to a maximum of 38.9 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 15.4 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured at the device terminals and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by downstream circuitry during transient events - critical for ensuring compatibility with 3.3 V or 5 V logic interfaces and analog front-ends.
How does the DO-215AA (SMBG) package of SMBG24C-E3/5B compare thermally to DO-214AA (SMB)?
The DO-215AA (SMBG) package of SMBG24C-E3/5B delivers a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W, which is 20% lower than the 125 °C/W typical for DO-214AA (SMB) packages like SMBJ24CA. This improvement stems from enhanced thermal pad design and solder joint geometry, allowing SMBG24C-E3/5B to sustain higher repetitive surge duty cycles without exceeding TJ = 150 °C.
Is SMBG24C-E3/5B compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, SMBG24C-E3/5B is rated for MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and supports lead-free reflow profiles with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C. Its matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102 solderability standards, and the E3 suffix confirms compliance with JESD201 Class 1A whisker testing - ensuring robust interconnect reliability in high-volume SMT assembly.
