Product details
Overview
SMBG24HE3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a uni-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the 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. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used to protect MOSFETs and signal lines in automotive power systems.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG24HE3/5B datasheet, SMBG24HE3/5B pinout, SMBG24HE3/5B application, or SMBG24HE3/5B equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, DO-215AA package dimensions, clamping performance under surge conditions, and direct alternatives for automotive-grade TVS selection.
Technical Context
The SMBG24HE3/5B operates as a uni-directional avalanche diode, leveraging glass-passivated junction technology for stable breakdown behavior and low incremental surge resistance. Its thermal resistance is 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead), enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.
It responds to transients with sub-nanosecond speed and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. The device is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine) and exhibits ≤1.0 µA reverse leakage at 24 V.

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-214AB package; lower PPPM (400 W vs. 600 W) | Limited to lower-energy transients; not rated for full automotive load dump compliance | Select when board space allows larger footprint and surge energy is constrained to <400 W |
| SMCJ24AHE3/5B | Same VWM and VC, but DO-214AB package with higher thermal mass; PPPM = 1500 W | Overqualified for 600 W needs; requires larger PCB area and higher mounting pad thermal mass | Choose only if system-level testing demands >1 kW surge margin or extended thermal endurance |
Compared with SMBJ24AHE3/5B and SMCJ24AHE3/5B, the SMBG24HE3/5B uniquely balances 600 W surge capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, and compact DO-215AA footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive modules requiring certified 24 V rail protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBG24HE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBG24HE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V at 15.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value ensures protected circuitry remains below critical voltage thresholds during surge events. The SMBG24HE3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its qualified temperature range and after repeated stress cycles.
Is SMBG24HE3/5B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG24HE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use, including under-hood environments. Its 150 °C maximum junction temperature, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and validation against temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD make it appropriate for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power domains. The SMBG24HE3/5B meets ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2 surge immunity requirements when properly applied.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in SMBG24HE3/5B?
The "HE3" suffix in SMBG24HE3/5B denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. It distinguishes the part from commercial-grade "E3" variants and confirms compliance with automotive reliability standards. The SMBG24HE3/5B also features matte tin-plated leads and UL 94 V-0 molding compound, as specified in Vishay document 88456.
How does SMBG24HE3/5B differ from bi-directional TVS diodes like SMBG24CA?
The SMBG24HE3/5B is uni-directional and intended for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed, offering lower leakage and optimized forward surge rating (100 A). In contrast, SMBG24CA is bi-directional and suited for AC or floating signal lines, with symmetrical clamping in both directions but no IFSM rating. The SMBG24HE3/5B's cathode band marking and absence of bidirectional symmetry reflect this functional distinction.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBG24HE3/5B, and how does it affect layout design?
The SMBG24HE3/5B has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W and junction-to-lead (RθJL) of 20 °C/W. These values require adherence to Vishay's recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pad per terminal for rated power dissipation. Deviating from this layout reduces surge capability and risks thermal runaway during repetitive transients. The SMBG24HE3/5B's DO-215AA footprint enables efficient heat transfer when used with proper copper pour.
