Product details
Overview
SMBG45HE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a uni-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-215AA (SMBG) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 45 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 50.0–55.3 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 72.7 V clamping voltage (VC) at 8.3 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive power electronics and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG45HE3/52 datasheet, SMBG45HE3/52 pinout, SMBG45HE3/52 application, or SMBG45HE3/52 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance data, RoHS-compliant HE3 suffix marking, and precise mechanical dimensions per DO-215AA outline - all critical for ESD/surge co-design and layout validation.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a uni-directional clamping device, leveraging a glass-passivated silicon junction to achieve sub-nanosecond response time and low incremental surge resistance. Its 150 °C maximum junction temperature and 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance support sustained operation under repetitive transients when mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
The SMBG45HE3/52 is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine) and exhibits 1.0 µA maximum reverse leakage at VWM. Its AEC-Q101 qualification confirms suitability for automotive-grade power rail protection where reliability under thermal cycling and mechanical shock is mandatory.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ45AHE3/52 | Same VWM (45 V), identical DO-215AA package, but lower PPPM = 600 W (same rating), slightly higher VC = 73.0 V at 8.3 A. | Functionally interchangeable in most 45 V rail protection; minor VC delta has negligible impact on 50 V-tolerant loads. | Select SMBJ45AHE3/52 if legacy design uses SMBJ footprint and requires identical thermal profile (RθJA = 100 °C/W). |
| SMCJ45AHE3/52 | Higher PPPM = 1500 W, larger DO-214AB (SMC) package, same VWM/VBR specs, VC = 73.0 V at 21.2 A. | Used where higher surge energy (e.g., IEC 61000-4-5 Level 5) or longer pulse duration must be absorbed without derating. | Choose SMCJ45AHE3/52 only when board space allows larger SMC package and system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W capability. |
Compared with SMBG45HE3/52, SMBJ45AHE3/52 offers identical form-factor and qualification but marginally higher clamping; SMCJ45AHE3/52 trades compactness for 2.5× surge energy headroom - making SMBG45HE3/52 optimal for space-constrained AEC-Q101 automotive modules needing precise 45 V coordination.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBG45HE3/52 and how is it measured?
The SMBG45HE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 72.7 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 8.3 A using a 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform. This value is guaranteed per the Vishay datasheet (Document Number 88456, page 2) and reflects the voltage seen across the device during standardized surge testing - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain below their absolute maximum ratings.
Is SMBG45HE3/52 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG45HE3/52 carries the HE3 suffix, confirming it is RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified per Vishay's documentation (page 3, Notes section). This includes validation for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and mechanical shock - making SMBG45HE3/52 suitable for under-hood and body-control module deployments.
What does the "HE3" suffix mean in SMBG45HE3/52?
The "HE3" suffix in SMBG45HE3/52 indicates two key attributes: RoHS compliance (lead-free, halogen-free per JEDEC JS709A) and AEC-Q101 qualification. Additionally, HE3 denotes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance - a requirement for automotive production where tin-lead alternatives are prohibited and long-term interconnect reliability is critical.
How does SMBG45HE3/52 differ from SMBG45A-E3/52?
SMBG45HE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified and meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, whereas SMBG45A-E3/52 is commercial-grade (E3 suffix only) with JESD 201 Class 1A. Both share identical electrical specs (VWM = 45 V, VBR = 50.0–55.3 V, VC = 72.7 V), DO-215AA package, and RoHS compliance - but only SMBG45HE3/52 is approved for automotive production use.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBG45HE3/52 and why does it matter?
SMBG45HE3/52 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. This value directly impacts safe operating area during repetitive surges: higher RθJA limits duty cycle and requires careful PCB copper area design to avoid thermal runaway - especially in enclosed automotive enclosures.
