Product details
Overview
SMBG30A-M3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMBG (DO-215AA) package, with 30 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 33.3–36.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 48.4 V clamping voltage (VC) at 12.4 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating under 10/1000 μs waveform - designed for robust overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines in automotive ECUs and industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG30A-M3/52 datasheet, SMBG30A-M3/52 pinout, SMBG30A-M3/52 application, or SMBG30A-M3/52 equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free RoHS-compliant M3 suffix, 150 °C max junction temperature, low 1.0 μA reverse leakage at VWM, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on standard PCB pad layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device, leveraging an avalanche breakdown mechanism to limit transient voltages above its VBR threshold while maintaining low dynamic impedance during surge events. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable electrical characteristics and long-term reliability under repetitive surge stress.
The SMBG30A-M3/52 delivers 600 W peak pulse power handling with a 10/1000 μs waveform at 0.01 % duty cycle, supported by thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead), enabling effective heat dissipation when mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBG30A-E3/52 | Same electrical specs; uses standard RoHS-compliant (non-halogen-free) molding compound | Approved for industrial but not automotive AEC-Q101 applications | Select when halogen-free requirement is not mandated and cost optimization is prioritized |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBG30A-M3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBG30A-M3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 48.4 V at 12.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay document 88456 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events. The SMBG30A-M3/52 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBG30A-M3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG30A-M3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified and specifically designed for automotive use, including engine control units, body electronics, and infotainment power supplies. Its halogen-free (M3) construction, 150 °C max junction temperature, and validated performance under ISO 7637-2 transients make it appropriate for under-hood and cabin environments. The SMBG30A-M3/52 meets all required stress tests per the AEC-Q101 standard.
What does the "M3" suffix indicate in SMBG30A-M3/52?
The "M3" suffix in SMBG30A-M3/52 denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, intended for industrial-grade applications requiring enhanced environmental compliance. It distinguishes the part from E3 (standard RoHS) and HM3 (AEC-Q101 + halogen-free) variants. The SMBG30A-M3/52 shares identical electrical and thermal specifications with other SMBG30A variants except for material composition and qualification scope.
What is the reverse leakage current of SMBG30A-M3/52 at its stand-off voltage?
The SMBG30A-M3/52 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 μA at its 30 V stand-off voltage (VWM) and 25 °C ambient temperature. This ultra-low leakage minimizes quiescent power draw in battery-powered or energy-sensitive systems. The SMBG30A-M3/52 maintains leakage below 10 μA up to 125 °C, as confirmed in Vishay's thermal derating curves.
How is SMBG30A-M3/52 packaged for automated assembly?
SMBG30A-M3/52 is supplied in 7" diameter plastic tape and reel packaging (package code /52), with 750 units per reel, optimized for high-speed pick-and-place equipment. Its SMBG (DO-215AA) low-profile package features gull-wing leads and matte tin plating compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. The SMBG30A-M3/52's standardized footprint supports IPC-7351B land patterns for reliable reflow yield.
