Product details
Overview
SMBG45CHE3/52 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 45 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 50.0–55.3 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 72.7 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 8.3 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - used in automotive sensor protection and industrial I/O interface surge suppression.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG45CHE3/52 datasheet, SMBG45CHE3/52 pinout, SMBG45CHE3/52 application, or SMBG45CHE3/52 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance data, RoHS-compliant material categorization, and direct alternative part comparisons for ESD and lightning surge protection design validation.
Technical Context
This bi-directional TVS diode operates symmetrically in both polarities, enabling robust protection of AC-coupled or differential signal paths without polarity constraints. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), while the 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance supports operation up to +150 °C junction temperature under defined PCB pad conditions.
The device meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for automotive applications and is rated for repetitive 0.01% duty cycle surges. Clamping performance is specified at 8.3 A IPPM (10/1000 µs), delivering 72.7 V VC - critical for safeguarding 48 V system interfaces and CAN FD transceivers against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/3a transients.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ45CA-E3/52 | Same VWM (45 V), identical DO-215AB (SMB) package but slightly higher VC (73.0 V @ 8.3 A); lower thermal resistance (RθJA = 85 °C/W). | Preferred where tighter board-level thermal management is available; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Select when automotive qualification is unnecessary and lower clamping variation is prioritized over qualification status. |
| SMCJ45CAHE3/52 | Higher PPPM (1500 W), same VWM/VBR, larger DO-214AB (SMC) package; RθJA = 40 °C/W. | Used where higher surge energy (e.g., ISO 16750-2 Load Dump) must be absorbed without derating. | Choose when system-level surge tests exceed 600 W and PCB space allows larger SMC footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ45CA-E3/52 and SMCJ45CAHE3/52, SMBG45CHE3/52 uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, SMBG footprint compactness, and validated 600 W clamping performance - making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial modules requiring certified reliability.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMBG45CHE3/52?
SMBG45CHE3/52 is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor, meaning it functions identically in both forward and reverse bias directions. There is no cathode band marking on the device body, and its electrical characteristics - including VBR, VC, and leakage - apply symmetrically across both terminals. This makes SMBG45CHE3/52 ideal for protecting AC-coupled signals, differential buses like CAN or RS-485, and ungrounded power inputs where polarity cannot be assumed.
Is SMBG45CHE3/52 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG45CHE3/52 carries the HE3 suffix, which denotes AEC-Q101 qualification per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. It has passed stress tests including high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling (TC), unbiased highly accelerated stress test (UHAST), and human-body-model ESD (≥8 kV). This certification confirms SMBG45CHE3/52 is approved for use in automotive powertrain, chassis, and body electronics where reliability under harsh environmental conditions is mandatory.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBG45CHE3/52 under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of SMBG45CHE3/52 is 72.7 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 8.3 A using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and represents the highest voltage the protected circuit will experience during a 600 W transient event. Engineers use this parameter to verify that downstream components - such as 75 V-rated MOSFETs or 5 V/3.3 V interface ICs - remain within safe operating limits.
Does SMBG45CHE3/52 meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, SMBG45CHE3/52 is RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free per JEDEC JS709A standards. The "E3" and "HE3" suffixes indicate compliance with both requirements. Material declarations confirm absence of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, PBDE, and regulated chlorinated/brominated flame retardants - supporting environmentally responsible manufacturing and global market access.
What is the thermal resistance specification for SMBG45CHE3/52?
SMBG45CHE3/52 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, per Vishay's test condition. This value is critical for thermal design - for example, at 600 W dissipation, junction temperature rise would be ~60 °C above ambient, requiring careful layout to avoid exceeding the +150 °C maximum junction limit. RθJL is 20 °C/W, indicating efficient heat transfer to PCB leads.
