Product details

Overview

SMBG45-E3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-215AA (SMBG) package, designed for clamping inductive switching transients and ESD events on power and signal 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 DC power rail surge suppression.

For engineers reviewing the SMBG45-E3/52 datasheet, SMBG45-E3/52 pinout, SMBG45-E3/52 application, or SMBG45-E3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, 150 °C max junction temperature, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.

Technical Context

This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping device in reverse-biased configuration, triggering when transient voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold to divert surge current away from protected circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance and fast response time (<1 ns), while low incremental surge resistance enables effective energy absorption during 10/1000 µs surges.

The SMBG45-E3/52 is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine), supports -55 °C to +150 °C operating range, and meets UL 497B recognition (QVGQ2) for protector classification - confirming suitability for safety-critical automotive and industrial interfaces where transient immunity must comply with ISO 7637-2 and IEC 61000-4-5.

Key Specifications

Parameter Value and Actual Design Meaning
VWM45 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin below breakdown.
VBR (min/max)50.0 V / 55.3 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures predictable turn-on across production lot and temperature.
VC @ IPPM72.7 V at 8.3 A - Clamping voltage under 10/1000 µs surge defines worst-case overvoltage seen by downstream ICs.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.

Alternative Part Technical Difference Application Difference Selection Advice
SMBJ45A-E3/52Same VWM (45 V), identical DO-214AA (SMB) package but 30% lower PPPM (400 W vs. 600 W); higher VC (73.0 V).Limited to lower-energy transients; not suitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load dump simulation.Select SMBG45-E3/52 when 600 W surge headroom and AEC-Q101 qualification are required.
SMBG45HE3/52Identical electrical specs and DO-215AA package; differs only in AEC-Q101 qualification status (HE3 = qualified, E3 = commercial grade).HE3 variant required for automotive OEM designs; E3 acceptable for industrial or consumer use where AEC-Q101 is not mandated.Choose SMBG45-E3/52 for cost-sensitive industrial applications where AEC-Q101 is unnecessary.

Compared with SMBJ45A-E3/52, SMBG45-E3/52 delivers 50% higher surge power handling and tighter clamping; versus SMBG45HE3/52, it offers identical performance at lower qualification cost - making it optimal for non-automotive high-reliability systems needing 600 W clamping in SMBG form factor.

FAQ

What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBG45-E3/52 under standard surge conditions?

The SMBG45-E3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 72.7 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 8.3 A using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay document 88456 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events - critical for ensuring compatibility with 75 V-rated downstream components.

Is SMBG45-E3/52 suitable for automotive applications?

Yes, SMBG45-E3/52 is RoHS-compliant and manufactured to commercial-grade specifications; however, it is not AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101 validation, the SMBG45HE3/52 variant must be selected. The SMBG45-E3/52 remains appropriate for non-OEM industrial or consumer systems where AEC-Q101 is not mandated.

What is the thermal resistance of SMBG45-E3/52 from junction to ambient?

The SMBG45-E3/52 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes still air conditions and directly impacts maximum allowable power dissipation at elevated ambient temperatures - essential for thermal design in enclosed industrial enclosures.

Does SMBG45-E3/52 have bidirectional capability?

No, SMBG45-E3/52 is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "A" suffix (not "CA"). It conducts only in reverse bias above VBR; for bidirectional protection, models like SMBG45CA-E3/52 would be required. The cathode band marking confirms polarity, and its electrical characteristics apply solely in the reverse direction.

What packaging format is supplied for SMBG45-E3/52?

SMBG45-E3/52 is supplied in 7" diameter plastic tape and reel format, with a base quantity of 750 units per reel (package code "52"). This format supports high-speed pick-and-place assembly and complies with EIA-481-D standards for automated manufacturing - confirmed in Vishay's ordering information table on page 3 of document 88456.
