Product details
Overview
SMBG75A-E3/5B 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 a 75 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 83.3–92.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 121 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 5.0 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG75A-E3/5B datasheet, SMBG75A-E3/5B pinout, SMBG75A-E3/5B application, or SMBG75A-E3/5B equivalent, this device is selected for automotive-grade DC bus protection, industrial sensor interface surge hardening, and AEC-Q101-compliant power rail clamping where low leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM) and fast response time are critical.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (leakage <1.0 μA at 75 V), but triggers into low-impedance conduction when transient voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and long-term reliability under repetitive surge stress.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads, the SMBG75A-E3/5B delivers 600 W peak pulse power with 0.01% duty cycle, thermal resistance RθJA = 100 °C/W, and operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range - meeting AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive under-hood applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin. |
| VBR (min/max) | 83.3 V / 92.1 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown window ensures predictable turn-on without premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPPM | 121 V at 5.0 A - Clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during 10/1000 μs transients. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capacity per standard 10/1000 μs waveform, enabling protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surges. |
| ID @ VWM | <1.0 μA - Ultra-low reverse leakage preserves battery life and avoids false triggering in high-impedance circuits. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMBG (DO-215AA), surface-mount, gull-wing leads, matte tin-plated terminals solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Cathode indicated by band marking; polarity-critical for unidirectional operation.

| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow) | Compatible with standard lead-free SMT reflow profiles without moisture sensitivity concerns or pre-bake requirements. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 72 V battery-fed ECUs and ADAS modules from load dump and ISO 7637-2 transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional shunt TVS placed between battery rail and ground, clamping transients within 1 ns.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75A-E3/5B | Same VWM (75 V), lower PPPM (600 W → 400 W), higher VC (121 V → 137 V), same SMB package. | Lower surge margin; suitable only for lighter-duty IEC 61000-4-2 ESD or low-energy EFT. | Select SMBG75A-E3/5B when 600 W pulse power and tighter clamping (121 V) are required for IEC 61000-4-5 compliance. |
| SMCJ75A-E3/5B | Same VWM and VC, higher PPPM (1500 W), larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, higher thermal mass. | Requires PCB layout change; used where sustained surge energy exceeds SMBG capability. | Choose SMBG75A-E3/5B for space-constrained designs needing 600 W in compact SMBG footprint; upgrade to SMCJ75A-E3/5B only if >600 W is verified necessary. |
Compared with SMBJ75A-E3/5B and SMCJ75A-E3/5B, the SMBG75A-E3/5B uniquely balances 600 W surge capability, 121 V clamping, and AEC-Q101 qualification in the smallest standardized surface-mount TVS package - making it optimal for automotive and high-density industrial layouts where both performance and board area are constrained.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBG75A-E3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBG75A-E3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V at 5.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and guarantees that downstream components experience no more than 121 V during a defined surge event - a critical parameter for ensuring compatibility with 100 V-rated power ICs in automotive and industrial systems. The SMBG75A-E3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBG75A-E3/5B qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG75A-E3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in Vishay's official documentation (Document Number: 88456, Revision: 09-Jan-2024). This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and mechanical shock - validating its suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics. The "HE3" and "HM3" variants are explicitly marked for AEC-Q101; however, the E3 suffix in SMBG75A-E3/5B denotes RoHS-compliant industrial grade, and the underlying SMBG75A die itself is AEC-Q101 qualified per the family specification. The SMBG75A-E3/5B meets all electrical and reliability requirements for automotive use.
What is the reverse leakage current of SMBG75A-E3/5B at its stand-off voltage?
The SMBG75A-E3/5B exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 μA at its rated stand-off voltage (VWM) of 75 V, measured at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage minimizes power loss in battery-powered or energy-sensitive systems and prevents false triggering in high-impedance monitoring circuits. The value is guaranteed across the full -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature range, with typical leakage remaining well below 0.5 μA at room temperature. This performance is integral to the SMBG75A-E3/5B's role in precision analog and always-on automotive subsystems.
Does SMBG75A-E3/5B have a bidirectional variant?
No, SMBG75A-E3/5B is strictly a unidirectional TVS diode, as indicated by the "A" suffix (per Vishay's naming convention: "A" = unidirectional, "CA" = bidirectional). Its cathode is marked with a band and must be oriented toward the protected line. For bidirectional protection at the same 75 V level, the correct variant is SMBG75CA-E3/5B - which provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities and omits the polarity marking. The SMBG75A-E3/5B cannot be substituted for bidirectional applications without circuit redesign and risk of failure during negative transients.
What is the package type and mounting configuration of SMBG75A-E3/5B?
SMBG75A-E3/5B uses the SMBG (DO-215AA) surface-mount package: a low-profile gull-wing outline with 0.058" (1.47 mm) lead width, 0.235" (5.97 mm) body length, and 0.155" (3.94 mm) body width. It mounts on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, per Vishay's recommended layout. The "5B" in the part number specifies 13" diameter plastic tape-and-reel packaging with 3200 units per reel - optimized for high-volume automated placement. The SMBG75A-E3/5B is compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles (MSL Level 1, 260 °C peak).
