Product details
Overview
SMBG60AHE3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMBG (DO-215AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features 60 V standoff voltage (VWM), 66.7–73.7 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 6.2 A maximum clamping current (IPPM), and 96.8 V clamping voltage (VC) - deployed in automotive ECUs, industrial I/O modules, and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG60AHE3/5B datasheet, SMBG60AHE3/5B pinout, SMBG60AHE3/5B application, or SMBG60AHE3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C max junction temperature, low incremental surge resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in series with protected circuitry, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds VBR to limit transient energy. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and fast response time (<1.0 ns), while the SMBG package delivers 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under standard mounting conditions.
The device meets UL 497B recognition (QVGQ2) and is rated for repetitive 0.01% duty cycle surges. It supports unidirectional protection only - cathode marked by band - and is not rated for bidirectional operation or AC line applications without external circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 60 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR (min/max) | 66.7 V / 73.7 V at 1 mA - guaranteed breakdown range defining turn-on threshold tolerance |
| VC @ IPPM | 96.8 V at 6.2 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting stress on downstream ICs |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient power handling capability under standardized waveform |
| IFSM | 100 A - single half-sine surge rating (8.3 ms), relevant for inrush or lightning-induced events |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature enabling use in under-hood automotive environments |
| Leakage @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - minimal standby power loss and negligible loading on sensitive sensor references |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ60A-E3/5B | Same VWM/VC, but SMB (DO-214AA) package; 100 W lower PPPM (500 W) | Limited to lower-energy transients; less suitable for automotive load dump | Select SMBG60AHE3/5B when AEC-Q101 qualification and 600 W rating are mandatory |
| SMCJ60AHE3/5B | Same VWM/VC, but SMC (DO-214AB) package; higher PPPM (1500 W), larger footprint | Overqualified for space-constrained PCBs; requires larger pad layout | Choose SMBG60AHE3/5B where board area is constrained but 600 W suffices |
Compared with SMBJ60A-E3/5B and SMCJ60AHE3/5B, SMBG60AHE3/5B uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, 600 W surge capacity, and compact SMBG footprint - making it optimal for automotive and industrial modules where reliability, power handling, and density are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMBG60AHE3/5B?
SMBG60AHE3/5B is a unidirectional TVS diode: its cathode is marked by a band on the SMBG package body and must be connected to the line being protected, while the anode connects to ground. It does not support bidirectional operation - using it in AC or reverse-biased configurations will result in failure or no clamping action.
Does SMBG60AHE3/5B meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SMBG60AHE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation (Document Number 88456, Revision 09-Jan-2024). This includes stress testing for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and electrostatic discharge - validating its suitability for under-hood and cabin automotive applications.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBG60AHE3/5B under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of SMBG60AHE3/5B is 96.8 V at 6.2 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events and is measured with the device mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per JEDEC standards.
Can SMBG60AHE3/5B replace SMBJ60A in existing designs?
SMBG60AHE3/5B is not a direct drop-in replacement for SMBJ60A due to different package outlines (SMBG vs. SMB) and thermal characteristics. While both share identical VWM and VC, the SMBG variant offers higher PPPM (600 W vs. 500 W) and AEC-Q101 qualification - but requires PCB layout revision to accommodate DO-215AA dimensions and pad geometry.
What is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of SMBG60AHE3/5B?
The typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of SMBG60AHE3/5B is 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 sustained power dissipation capability and thermal derating above 25 °C ambient.
