Product details
Overview
SMBG45HE3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a uni-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-215AA (SMBG) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. 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 on power rails and signal lines in automotive ECUs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG45HE3/5B datasheet, SMBG45HE3/5B pinout, SMBG45HE3/5B application, or SMBG45HE3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C max junction temperature, low incremental surge resistance, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability standards.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a uni-directional clamping device, leveraging a glass-passivated silicon junction to deliver fast response (<1 ps) and stable clamping under repetitive transients. Its electrical characteristics are specified at 25 °C with derating above TA = 25 °C per Fig. 2, and thermal resistance is 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
The SMBG45HE3/5B is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), supports ≤0.01% duty cycle operation, and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements in its DO-215AA molding compound - enabling use in high-reliability automotive and industrial environments where transient immunity and long-term stability are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 45 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR (min/max) | 50.0 V / 55.3 V at 1 mA - ensures reliable turn-on within defined tolerance band during overvoltage events |
| VC @ IPPM | 72.7 V at 8.3 A - limits downstream voltage stress to safe levels during 10/1000 µs surges |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling capability under standardized surge waveform |
| IFSM | 100 A - withstands single 8.3 ms half-sine surge without degradation |
| TJ max | +150 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial enclosures |
| Leakage @ VWM | 1.0 µA - negligible standby current draw, preserving system power budget |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ45AHE3/5B | Same VWM (45 V), identical DO-215AB (SMBJ) package but slightly higher VC (73.5 V) and lower IPPM (8.0 A) | Lower peak pulse current handling; marginally less robust under extreme 10/1000 µs surges | Select SMBG45HE3/5B when higher surge current margin (8.3 A vs. 8.0 A) and tighter VC spec are required. |
| 1.5SMC47AHE3/A | Higher VWM (47 V), larger DO-214AB (SMC) package, same 600 W rating but 100 °C/W RθJA on larger pad layout | Requires more PCB area; better thermal dissipation only with ≥0.5" × 0.5" copper pads | Choose SMBG45HE3/5B for space-constrained layouts where DO-215AA footprint (2.3 mm × 3.6 mm) is mandatory. |
Compared with SMBJ45AHE3/5B and 1.5SMC47AHE3/A, the SMBG45HE3/5B offers optimal balance of compact DO-215AA size, AEC-Q101 qualification, and precise 45 V clamping performance - making it preferred for automotive and high-density industrial designs where board space and qualification compliance are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBG45HE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBG45HE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 72.7 V at 8.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and ensures predictable voltage limiting during surge events. The SMBG45HE3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SMBG45HE3/5B qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SMBG45HE3/5B carries the HE3 suffix, which denotes AEC-Q101 qualification per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. It has passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and ESD per JESD22, confirming suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics. The SMBG45HE3/5B is explicitly listed in Vishay's AEC-Q101 qualified product matrix.
What does the "5B" in SMBG45HE3/5B indicate?
The "5B" suffix in SMBG45HE3/5B specifies the packaging format: 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, containing 3200 units per reel. This differs from "52", which denotes 7-inch reels of 750 units. Both share identical electrical and thermal specifications; the "5B" variant is optimized for high-volume SMT assembly lines requiring extended reel life and reduced changeover frequency. The SMBG45HE3/5B uses the same DO-215AA (SMBG) package as all variants in the family.
How does SMBG45HE3/5B differ from bi-directional TVS diodes like SMBG45CA?
The SMBG45HE3/5B is a uni-directional TVS diode, meaning it clamps only positive-going transients relative to its cathode connection - ideal for DC power rail protection. In contrast, SMBG45CA is bi-directional and clamps both polarities, suited for AC lines or data buses. The SMBG45HE3/5B exhibits lower leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and higher IFSM (100 A) than its bi-directional counterpart, which trades off some surge capacity for dual-polarity operation.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBG45HE3/5B, and how does it affect layout design?
The SMBG45HE3/5B 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 assumes minimal copper area; increasing pad size or adding thermal vias reduces RθJA and improves surge survivability. Layouts must maintain this minimum pad area to ensure the SMBG45HE3/5B meets its 150 °C TJ rating during repetitive 600 W pulses.
