Product details
Overview
SMBG24CHE3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a uni-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-215AA (SMBG) 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 clamping voltage (VC) at 15.4 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed on power rails and signal lines in automotive ECUs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG24CHE3/5B datasheet, SMBG24CHE3/5B pinout, SMBG24CHE3/5B application, or SMBG24CHE3/5B equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), RoHS-compliant HE3 suffix marking, and DO-215AA mechanical dimensions to support layout, reliability, and compliance validation.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a 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), enabling suppression of ESD, inductive switching spikes, and lightning-induced transients.
The SMBG24CHE3/5B is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and supports repetitive surge duty cycles up to 0.01 %, with thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient at 100 °C/W when mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1.0 µA) across temperature and lifetime |
| 600 W peak pulse power | Supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV) surge immunity without derating in standard layouts |
| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Enables direct use from reel without baking, reducing manufacturing overhead and risk of popcorning |
| HE3 suffix | Indicates RoHS-compliant construction with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance for long-term interconnect integrity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24AHE3/5B | Same VWM (24 V), identical DO-214AA package, but lower PPPM (400 W) and higher VC (43.0 V) | Limited to lower-energy transients; not suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 | Select SMBG24CHE3/5B when 600 W surge headroom and tighter clamping are required. |
| SMCJ24AHE3/5B | Same VWM (24 V), higher PPPM (1500 W), larger DO-214AB package (7.11 mm × 6.22 mm) | Requires PCB redesign due to 40 % larger footprint and different pad layout | Choose SMBG24CHE3/5B for space-constrained designs where 600 W suffices and DO-215AA compatibility is mandatory. |
Compared with SMBJ24AHE3/5B and SMCJ24AHE3/5B, the SMBG24CHE3/5B uniquely balances 600 W surge capability, DO-215AA compactness, and AEC-Q101 qualification - making it optimal for automotive and industrial modules where board area, reliability, and standardized test compliance are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBG24CHE3/5B and how is it measured?
The SMBG24CHE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V at 15.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards with the device mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads. The clamping voltage defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events, and SMBG24CHE3/5B maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBG24CHE3/5B qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG24CHE3/5B carries the HE3 suffix, confirming it is RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified. It has passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and ESD per JESD22-A114, making it suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics. The SMBG24CHE3/5B data sheet explicitly lists AEC-Q101 qualification in its mechanical data section.
What does the "5B" in SMBG24CHE3/5B indicate?
The "5B" denotes the preferred package code specifying 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel packaging with a base quantity of 3200 units per reel. This format supports high-volume SMT assembly lines and is distinct from the "52" code (7-inch reel, 750 units). The "HE3" portion confirms AEC-Q101 qualification and RoHS compliance, while "SMBG24CHE3/5B" as a whole identifies the exact orderable part number.
How does SMBG24CHE3/5B differ from SMBG24AHE3/5B?
SMBG24CHE3/5B and SMBG24AHE3/5B are identical in electrical specifications, package, and qualification - the "C" in SMBG24CHE3/5B is a legacy family designation retained for backward compatibility in Vishay's ordering system. Both share the same VWM = 24 V, VBR = 26.7–29.5 V, VC = 38.9 V, and AEC-Q101 qualification. No functional or parametric difference exists between them.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBG24CHE3/5B and why does it matter?
The SMBG24CHE3/5B has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal. This value directly impacts safe power dissipation during repetitive surges: for example, at 0.01 % duty cycle, sustained average power must remain below ~0.6 W to avoid exceeding the 150 °C maximum junction temperature. Proper PCB copper area is essential to achieve this RθJA.
