Product details
Overview
SMBG70A-E3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMBG (DO-215AA) package, rated for 70 V stand-off voltage, 77.8–86.0 V breakdown at 1 mA, 113 V clamping voltage at 5.3 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power with 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed for overvoltage protection of automotive power rails and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG70A-E3/52 datasheet, SMBG70A-E3/52 pinout, SMBG70A-E3/52 application, or SMBG70A-E3/52 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 that transitions from high-impedance to low-impedance state within picoseconds upon detecting a transient exceeding its breakdown voltage. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance (<1.0 μA at 70 V) and robust ESD immunity.
The SMBG70A-E3/52 delivers 600 W peak pulse power handling under 10/1000 μs waveform with derating above 25 °C, supported by thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead), enabling reliable operation in automotive under-hood environments up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 70 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates |
| VBR @ IT = 1 mA | 77.8–86.0 V - guaranteed breakdown range defining turn-on threshold under standardized test current |
| VC @ IPPM = 5.3 A | 113 V - maximum clamped voltage during 10/1000 μs surge, limiting downstream IC stress |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient power dissipation capability without failure under defined waveform |
| IFSM | 100 A - non-repetitive forward surge rating (8.3 ms half-sine), supporting load-dump immunity |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature enabling use in under-hood automotive modules |
| Package | SMBG (DO-215AA) - low-profile surface-mount outline with 0.235–0.255 inch body length and matte tin-plated leads |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ70A-E3/52 | Same VWM (70 V), but lower PPPM (600 W vs. SMBJ's 600 W), identical SMB package, same AEC-Q101 qualification | No functional difference; SMBJ series has identical electrical specs but different mechanical outline (DO-214AA vs. DO-215AA) | Select SMBG70A-E3/52 for tighter board space (smaller body width) and higher thermal resistance tolerance in constrained layouts. |
| SMCJ70A-E3/52 | Higher PPPM (1500 W), larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same VWM/VC, AEC-Q101 qualified | Used where higher single-pulse energy absorption is required (e.g., heavy-duty industrial motor drives) | Choose SMBG70A-E3/52 when PCB real estate is limited and 600 W suffices - avoids unnecessary board area and cost of SMC footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ70A-E3/52 and SMCJ70A-E3/52, SMBG70A-E3/52 offers identical clamping performance in a smaller DO-215AA outline with optimized thermal path for dense automotive modules, balancing surge robustness, layout efficiency, and qualification rigor.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBG70A-E3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBG70A-E3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V at 5.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBG70A-E3/52 maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is SMBG70A-E3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG70A-E3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use, including under-hood environments. It meets requirements for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD robustness. Its 150 °C max junction temperature, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and 100 A IFSM rating make SMBG70A-E3/52 appropriate for engine control modules, body electronics, and ADAS power domains.
What does the "-E3/52" suffix indicate in SMBG70A-E3/52?
The "-E3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, industrial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads; "/52" specifies packaging in 7″ diameter plastic tape and reel with 750 units per reel. This ordering code aligns with Vishay's standard industrial release - distinct from HE3 (AEC-Q101 qualified) or M3 (halogen-free) variants. SMBG70A-E3/52 is not AEC-Q101 certified unless ordered as SMBG70AHE3/52.
How does SMBG70A-E3/52 differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBG70CA?
SMBG70A-E3/52 is unidirectional and features a cathode band marking; it conducts only in reverse breakdown to clamp positive transients to ground. In contrast, SMBG70CA is bidirectional with no polarity marking and clamps both polarities symmetrically. SMBG70A-E3/52 is used where DC bias exists (e.g., 12 V rails), while SMBG70CA suits AC-coupled or floating signal lines. Their VBR and VC values differ accordingly.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBG70A-E3/52, and how does it affect layout?
SMBG70A-E3/52 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W and junction-to-lead (RθJL) of 20 °C/W when mounted on 0.2″ × 0.2″ (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. To maintain safe junction temperatures under repeated surges, PCB layout must provide adequate copper area and minimize trace impedance. SMBG70A-E3/52 benefits from thermal vias under pads if ambient temperatures exceed 85 °C.
