Product details
Overview
SMBG24-E3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-215AA (SMBG) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. 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 in automotive power electronics and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG24-E3/52 datasheet, SMBG24-E3/52 pinout, SMBG24-E3/52 application, or SMBG24-E3/52 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, JEDEC-compliant thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility - all critical for automotive-grade ESD/surge protection design-in.
Technical Context
The SMBG24-E3/52 operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggering when reverse voltage exceeds its VBR range (26.7–29.5 V), then clamping transients to ≤38.9 V at 15.4 A. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at 24 V) and fast response time (<1.0 ps), enabling protection of sensitive MOSFET gates and microcontroller I/Os against inductive switching spikes.
Thermally, it sustains operation from −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, with RθJL = 20 °C/W to leads and derated pulse power above 25 °C per Fig. 2. The device is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), supporting high-energy load-dump events in 12 V automotive systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 24 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin for 12 V/24 V systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 26.7 V / 29.5 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range; ensures reliable turn-on without premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPPM | 38.9 V at 15.4 A - Clamped voltage during 600 W transient; limits stress on downstream ICs to safe levels. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 µs waveform; meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2/5a requirements. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Single half-sine surge rating (8.3 ms); supports automotive load-dump protection without failure. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables under-hood deployment with standard PCB copper pad layout. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads; informs heatsinking and power cycling limits. |

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-E3/52 | Same DO-214AA (SMB) package but lower RθJA (85 °C/W); identical VWM/VC specs but rated for 600 W with tighter VBR tolerance (5%). | Preferred where board space allows larger pad area for improved thermal dissipation; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Select SMBJ24A-E3/52 only if AEC-Q101 is not required and thermal margin is constrained. |
| SMAJ24A-E3/52 | Smaller DO-214AC (SMA) package (3.5 mm × 1.9 mm); same electrical specs but lower IPPM (12.3 A) and higher VC (43.5 V) due to reduced thermal mass. | Suitable for space-constrained consumer boards; insufficient for automotive load-dump energy absorption. | Choose SMAJ24A-E3/52 only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications with <500 W surge exposure. |
Compared with SMBG24-E3/52, SMBJ24A-E3/52 offers tighter parametric control but lacks automotive qualification, while SMAJ24A-E3/52 sacrifices clamping performance and surge capacity for footprint reduction - making SMBG24-E3/52 the optimal choice for AEC-Q101-compliant, thermally demanding 24 V system protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBG24-E3/52 under standard test conditions?
The SMBG24-E3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 15.4 A using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and guarantees that downstream components see no more than 38.9 V during transient events - critical for protecting 3.3 V or 5 V logic interfaces powered from a 24 V rail.
Is SMBG24-E3/52 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG24-E3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number 88456, Revision 12-Nov-12). This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and mechanical shock - validating its use in engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS power supplies where reliability under thermal and vibration stress is essential.
What does the "-E3/52" suffix indicate in SMBG24-E3/52?
The "-E3" denotes RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance. The "/52" specifies packaging in 7-inch plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 750 units per reel - optimized for automated SMT placement in high-volume manufacturing environments.
Can SMBG24-E3/52 be used in bi-directional protection circuits?
No, SMBG24-E3/52 is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "A" suffix (not "CA"). It conducts only in reverse bias above VBR; for bi-directional protection, Vishay specifies variants like SMBG24CA. Using SMBG24-E3/52 in AC or floating signal paths would leave positive-going transients unprotected, risking component failure.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for SMBG24-E3/52?
The SMBG24-E3/52 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, as defined in the Vishay datasheet. This value governs temperature rise under sustained power dissipation and must be used with derating curves (Fig. 2) to ensure TJ remains ≤150 °C in actual layouts.
