Product details
Overview
SMBG24CHE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-215AA (SMBG) package, designed for clamping inductive and lightning-induced transients on signal/power lines. It features 24 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 26.7–29.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 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 - used in automotive sensor protection and industrial I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG24CHE3/52 datasheet, SMBG24CHE3/52 pinout, SMBG24CHE3/52 application, or SMBG24CHE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include bi-directional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS-compliant HE3 suffix, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), and compatibility with 0.2" × 0.2" copper pad layout per JEDEC standards.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamping protector with symmetrical bi-directional avalanche behavior, enabling suppression of both positive and negative transients without polarity sensitivity. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), while the DO-215AA package supports automated SMT placement and meets MSL Level 1 reflow profile (260 °C peak).
The SMBG24CHE3/52 delivers 600 W peak pulse power handling under 10/1000 µs waveform with 0.01% duty cycle, and exhibits fast response time (<1.0 ps) due to low junction capacitance (typ. <200 pF at 1 MHz, zero bias). It is rated for TJ = –55 °C to +150 °C and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade reliability.
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 IT = 1.0 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures reliable turn-on during overvoltage events. |
| VC @ IPPM | 38.9 V at 15.4 A - Clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during 10/1000 µs surge; critical for MOSFET/gate driver protection. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power rating determines survivability against repetitive transients like load dump or ESD. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Junction temperature limit enables use in under-hood automotive environments and high-power industrial enclosures. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Thermal resistance informs PCB copper pad sizing (0.2" × 0.2" per terminal) for thermal derating above 25 °C ambient. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Validates robustness for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensors. |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA (SMBG) surface-mount package with gull-wing leads; bi-directional construction has no polarity marking - terminals are interchangeable. Matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 22-B102 mechanical integrity requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Bi-directional avalanche junction | No functional distinction between terminals; either lead connects to protected line or ground - simplifies layout routing. |
| Case (exposed metal) | Thermal conduction path | Not electrically connected; serves only as heat sink - requires isolation from adjacent traces and planes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bi-directional clamping | Enables single-device protection of AC-coupled or differential signal lines (e.g., CAN, LIN, RS-485) without polarity concerns. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates long-term reliability under automotive thermal cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock conditions per ISO/TS 16949. |
| 600 W peak pulse power | Supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV surge) compliance when paired with appropriate series impedance on protected lines. |
| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Allows unlimited floor life and standard reflow without baking - reduces manufacturing overhead in high-volume SMT lines. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR over lifetime and prevents parameter drift under humidity or temperature stress in harsh environments. |

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 VWM (24 V), but lower PPPM (400 W); RθJA = 110 °C/W; commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101). | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for consumer/industrial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. | Select SMBJ24CA-E3/52 only if cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements and surge energy stays below 400 W. |
| SMAJ24AHE3/A | Lower power rating (400 W), SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 140 °C/W), same AEC-Q101 qualification. | Reduced surge handling and thermal performance; limited to low-energy transients or space-constrained layouts. | Choose SMAJ24AHE3/A only when board area is critical and peak surge current remains ≤10 A per IEC 61000-4-5. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBG24CHE3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBG24CHE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V at 15.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and ensures downstream circuitry remains within safe voltage limits during surge events. The SMBG24CHE3/52 maintains this clamping performance with minimal variation due to its glass-passivated junction and AEC-Q101-validated construction.
Is SMBG24CHE3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG24CHE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use, including under-hood environments with operating junction temperatures up to +150 °C. Its HE3 suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS compliance, and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance - making it appropriate for engine control units, ADAS sensors, and body electronics where reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is mandatory. The SMBG24CHE3/52 meets these requirements without derating at typical automotive ambient conditions.
How does the bi-directional design of SMBG24CHE3/52 affect PCB layout?
The SMBG24CHE3/52 has no polarity marking and identical electrical behavior in both directions, eliminating orientation constraints during placement. Engineers can route either terminal to the protected line and the other to ground without affecting clamping performance - simplifying layout, reducing assembly errors, and enabling symmetric protection of differential pairs. This symmetry is especially valuable in CAN, LIN, and RS-485 interfaces where SMBG24CHE3/52 is often deployed across both signal lines with shared ground reference.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBG24CHE3/52, and how does it impact heatsinking?
The SMBG24CHE3/52 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 standard JEDEC test conditions and guides minimum pad sizing for thermal management. In practice, the SMBG24CHE3/52 does not require external heatsinks but relies on adequate PCB copper area to dissipate surge energy; exceeding ambient temperature limits without sufficient copper will cause premature thermal shutdown or parametric shift during repetitive surges.
Does SMBG24CHE3/52 meet moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for lead-free reflow?
Yes, SMBG24CHE3/52 meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life and withstands standard lead-free reflow profiles with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C. This eliminates the need for baking prior to assembly and supports high-throughput SMT lines without moisture-related defects such as popcorning or delamination. The SMBG24CHE3/52 achieves this through robust molding compound (UL 94 V-0 rated) and hermetic glass passivation of the silicon die.
