Product details
Overview
SMBG24HE3/52 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.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG24HE3/52 datasheet, SMBG24HE3/52 pinout, SMBG24HE3/52 application, or SMBG24HE3/52 equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C maximum junction temperature, low incremental surge resistance, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads suitable for automated SMT assembly and high-reliability automotive environments.
Technical Context
This device operates as a uni-directional avalanche diode, leveraging glass-passivated junction technology to achieve sub-nanosecond response time and stable clamping under repetitive transients. Its electrical behavior follows IEEE C62.35 standards, with VBR specified at 1 mA test current and clamping verified at IPPM = 15.4 A using standardized 10/1000 µs surge waveform.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 100 °C/W (on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads) and RθJL = 20 °C/W, enabling reliable operation up to TJ = 150 °C. The HE3 suffix confirms AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance - critical for under-hood automotive applications subject to thermal cycling and vibration.

Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Guarding |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 24 V supply inputs in engine control units (ECUs) against ISO 7637-2 load dump transients (up to 60 V, 400 ms). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamping element placed directly at connector entry point, shunting surge energy to chassis ground before reaching DC-DC converters or microcontrollers. Use Value: Limits clamped voltage to 38.9 V - well below 42 V absolute maximum rating of typical 24 V-rated power management ICs, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage. |
Use Scenario: Shielding analog output lines (e.g., 4–20 mA current loop) from ESD and inductive switching noise in factory automation sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uni-directional TVS placed between signal line and local ground plane, with fast <1 ns response capturing sub-microsecond ESD events per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity with <1.0 µA leakage at 24 V, avoiding offset errors in precision current-sense amplifiers while surviving 30 kV air discharge. |
| Telecom DC Feeder Protection | Consumer Appliance Motor Drive Suppression |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding -48 V DC power feeds in telecom base station remote radio units exposed to lightning-induced surges on outdoor cabling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage protector on feed line input, coordinated with upstream gas discharge tube (GDT) to handle multi-kA surges while limiting let-through voltage to secondary TVS stage. Use Value: 600 W rating enables coordination with GDTs having >100 ns response, ensuring SMBG24HE3/52 activates before downstream silicon fails under combined lightning + switching transients. |
Use Scenario: Suppressing flyback voltage spikes from brushed DC motors in smart home appliances (e.g., washing machine drum drives). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Mounted across motor terminals in uni-directional configuration, conducting reverse surge energy into bulk capacitor during commutation. Use Value: Withstands 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (IFSM), absorbing energy from 250 mH inductive loads switched at 100 Hz without degradation over 10,000 cycles. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24AHE3/52 | Same DO-215AB (SMB) package, identical VWM/VBR/VC, but rated for 600 W with tighter VBR tolerance (5 % vs. SMBG series' 10 %). | Preferred where tighter clamping consistency is required across production lots, e.g., safety-critical brake controller modules. | Select SMBJ24AHE3/52 if board layout allows SMB footprint and tighter VBR spec is mandated by functional safety analysis. |
| 1.5SMC24AH | DO-214AB (SMC) package - larger footprint (0.315" × 0.260"), higher thermal mass, same 24 V VWM but 43.5 V VC at 13.8 A. | Better suited for high-energy industrial motor drives where PCB space permits and higher clamping voltage is acceptable. | Choose 1.5SMC24AH only when thermal dissipation demands exceed SMBG's RθJA = 100 °C/W, such as in enclosed enclosures without forced airflow. |
Compared with SMBJ24AHE3/52 and 1.5SMC24AH, SMBG24HE3/52 offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 reliability, compact DO-215AA footprint, and proven 600 W surge handling in constrained automotive PCBs - making it the default choice for new 24 V ECU designs where space and qualification are primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBG24HE3/52 and how is it measured?
The SMBG24HE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V at 15.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), tested with a standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This value represents the upper limit of voltage seen by protected circuitry during a 600 W transient event - critical for verifying compatibility with downstream IC absolute maximum ratings. The SMBG24HE3/52 achieves this clamping performance while maintaining low incremental surge resistance.
Is SMBG24HE3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG24HE3/52 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, with validation across temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and mechanical shock tests. Its DO-215AA package, matte tin-plated leads, and 150 °C maximum junction temperature make it suitable for under-hood engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS camera power supplies. The HE3 suffix confirms compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance - a mandatory requirement for automotive longevity.
What does the "HE3" suffix mean in SMBG24HE3/52?
The "HE3" suffix in SMBG24HE3/52 indicates RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Unlike the commercial "E3" variant, HE3 devices undergo additional stress screening for automotive use, including extended high-temperature life testing and enhanced plating adhesion. This suffix is tied directly to the part's qualification status - not just material compliance - and is required for OEM automotive BOM acceptance.
How does SMBG24HE3/52 differ from SMBJ24AHE3/52?
SMBG24HE3/52 and SMBJ24AHE3/52 share identical electrical specs (VWM = 24 V, VC = 38.9 V, PPPM = 600 W) and AEC-Q101 qualification, but differ in package: SMBG uses DO-215AA (smaller 0.235" × 0.255" footprint), while SMBJ uses DO-214AB (SMB, slightly larger). The SMBG24HE3/52 also has a wider VBR tolerance (10 %) versus SMBJ24AHE3/52's 5 %. Layout and qualification requirements drive the choice - SMBG24HE3/52 fits tighter automotive layouts; SMBJ24AHE3/52 suits designs needing tighter clamping consistency.
What is the maximum operating temperature for SMBG24HE3/52?
The SMBG24HE3/52 has a maximum operating junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C, verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This allows direct placement near heat-generating components like power MOSFETs or DC-DC inductors in automotive ECUs. Derating begins above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in the datasheet, with usable power dissipation maintained up to 125 °C ambient when mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads - a key design parameter for SMBG24HE3/52 in thermally demanding environments.
