Product details
Overview
SMBG30CHE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-215AA (SMBG) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features 30 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 48.4 V maximum clamping voltage at 12.4 A peak pulse current, 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG30CHE3/52 datasheet, SMBG30CHE3/52 pinout, SMBG30CHE3/52 application, or SMBG30CHE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, bi-directional protection capability, RoHS-compliant AEC-Q101 qualification, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This bi-directional TVS operates symmetrically in both polarities, with breakdown voltage (VBR) specified at 33.3–36.8 V (min/max) under 1 mA test current. Its low incremental surge resistance enables stable clamping during repetitive transients, while glass-passivated junction ensures robustness against moisture and contamination.
The device meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C lead-free reflow peak temperature, and its thermal design relies on PCB copper pad area (0.2" × 0.2") to sustain 600 W pulse dissipation. Junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 20 °C/W supports localized heat transfer to PCB traces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 30 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR (min/max) | 33.3 V / 36.8 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 1 mA, defining turn-on threshold |
| VC @ IPPM | 48.4 V - Clamped voltage at 12.4 A peak pulse current, limiting downstream stress |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 µs waveform, derated above 25 °C |
| IPPM | 12.4 A - Maximum non-repetitive surge current the device safely conducts |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature, enabling operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to ambient, dependent on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad layout |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA (SMBG) surface-mount package: molded epoxy case meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability rating; matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102; no polarity marking for bi-directional configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ30CA-E3/52 | Same VWM (30 V) and VC (48.4 V), but lower PPPM = 600 W (identical), different package (DO-214AA/SMB) with higher RθJA (110 °C/W) | Less effective thermal dissipation on identical PCB layout; requires larger copper area for equivalent pulse handling | Select SMBJ30CA-E3/52 only if DO-214AA footprint is already standardized and thermal margin is verified. |
| 1.5KE30CA | Through-hole TO-218 package; same VWM/VC, but higher PPPM = 1500 W and slower response due to parasitic inductance | Not suitable for high-frequency transient suppression; used where mechanical ruggedness outweighs SMT density needs | Choose 1.5KE30CA only for legacy through-hole designs or where >1 kW surge energy must be absorbed. |
Compared with SMBJ30CA-E3/52 and 1.5KE30CA, SMBG30CHE3/52 offers superior thermal performance in SMT form factor (RθJA = 100 °C/W vs. 110 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification not present in SMBJ30CA-E3/52, and smaller footprint than 1.5KE30CA-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial modules requiring validated reliability.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMBG30CHE3/52?
SMBG30CHE3/52 is a bi-directional TVS diode with symmetrical terminal behavior-neither end is designated anode or cathode. The device clamps voltage transients equally in both directions, and no polarity marking appears on the package. This makes SMBG30CHE3/52 ideal for AC-coupled lines or differential buses where polarity reversal may occur.
Does SMBG30CHE3/52 meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SMBG30CHE3/52 carries the HE3 suffix, indicating full AEC-Q101 qualification per the Vishay datasheet revision 12-Nov-12. This certification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD robustness-validating SMBG30CHE3/52 for use in engine control, infotainment, and ADAS subsystems.
What is the maximum clamping voltage for SMBG30CHE3/52 under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) for SMBG30CHE3/52 is 48.4 V, measured at its peak pulse current (IPPM) of 12.4 A using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the operating temperature range and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events.
How does the DO-215AA (SMBG) package of SMBG30CHE3/52 compare thermally to DO-214AA (SMB)?
SMBG30CHE3/52 in DO-215AA achieves RθJA = 100 °C/W with 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads, whereas comparable DO-214AA devices like SMBJ30CA typically exhibit RθJA = 110 °C/W under identical conditions. The DO-215AA's wider lead frame and optimized internal thermal path provide measurably better heat dissipation for repetitive surge duty cycles.
Can SMBG30CHE3/52 be used in place of uni-directional TVS diodes?
No-SMBG30CHE3/52 is strictly bi-directional and must not replace uni-directional TVS diodes (e.g., SMBG30A) in DC-biased circuits. Applying reverse DC voltage across SMBG30CHE3/52 causes conduction in both directions, potentially disrupting bias networks. Use only where the protected line has no net DC polarity or employs AC coupling.
