Product details
Overview
SMBG75AHE3/52 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 SMBG75AHE3/52 datasheet, SMBG75AHE3/52 pinout, SMBG75AHE3/52 application, or SMBG75AHE3/52 equivalent, this AEC-Q101 qualified device supports automotive-grade surge immunity, offers low incremental surge resistance, fast response time, and meets UL 497B recognition - critical for protecting MOSFETs, microcontrollers, and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients and ESD events.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device, with cathode-band polarity marking and glass-passivated junction for stable avalanche performance. Its thermal resistance (RθJA) is 100 °C/W on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads, enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature under repetitive surge conditions.
The SMBG75AHE3/52 delivers 5.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) at 121 V clamping, with 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at 75 V and 100 A non-repetitive forward surge capability (IFSM) - confirming suitability for high-energy transient suppression in automotive power distribution and industrial control inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin for 12 V/24 V/48 V systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 83.3 V / 92.1 V at 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range ensures predictable turn-on during transients without premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPPM | 121 V at 5.0 A - Clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during 600 W surges; enables design margin for 100 V-rated components. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 µs waveform supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance when properly mounted. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Single half-sine surge rating (8.3 ms) allows survival of high-current inductive kickback in relay/motor drive circuits. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Junction temperature limit supports under-hood automotive placement and industrial environments with elevated ambient heat. |
| MSL Level | Level 1 (J-STD-020) - No floor life limitation; compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMBG (DO-215AA), surface-mount, low-profile gull-wing lead frame with matte tin-plated terminals solderable per J-STD-002. Cathode marked by band on body; anode and cathode terminals are symmetrical across centerline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point in forward bias; connected to protected circuit ground or low-side return path | Enables unidirectional clamping from line-to-ground; must be tied to lowest potential node in protected path. |
| Cathode | Current exit point in forward bias; connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail or CAN_H) | Band-marked terminal; reverse-biased during normal operation; conducts only during overvoltage events to shunt energy to ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensors requiring zero-failure reliability under thermal cycling and vibration. |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and long-term leakage stability across temperature and lifetime, critical for safety-critical protection circuits. |
| 600 W peak pulse power | Supports IEC 61000-4-5 Combination Wave (1.2/50 µs voltage + 8/20 µs current) testing up to Level 4 (4 kV/2 kA) with appropriate PCB layout. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.31) | Minimizes let-through voltage during surge events, reducing stress on downstream MOSFETs, gate drivers, and MCU I/O pins. |
| UL 497B recognition (QVGQ2) | Confirms compliance for telecom and industrial signal line protection where regulatory agency listing is mandatory for end-equipment certification. |

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-E3/52 | Same VWM (75 V), but lower PPPM = 600 W (same), higher VC = 126 V at 4.8 A; SMBJ package (DO-214AB) has larger footprint and higher RθJA (110 °C/W). | Less suitable for space-constrained automotive modules; requires larger pad layout and exhibits higher thermal rise under repeated surges. | Select SMBG75AHE3/52 when board area is limited and AEC-Q101 qualification is mandatory; choose SMBJ75A-E3/52 only if legacy layout reuse is required. |
| SMCJ75AHE3/52 | Same VWM and VBR, but PPPM = 1500 W, VC = 121 V at 12.3 A; SMC package (DO-214AB) offers higher surge capacity but larger size and no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Better for high-energy industrial surges (e.g., motor drives), but lacks automotive qualification and increases PCB real estate by ~2.5×. | Choose SMBG75AHE3/52 for AEC-Q101-compliant compact designs; use SMCJ75AHE3/52 only when 1500 W rating is essential and qualification is secondary. |
Compared with SMBJ75A-E3/52 and SMCJ75AHE3/52, the SMBG75AHE3/52 uniquely balances AEC-Q101 qualification, 600 W surge capability, and SMBG's compact footprint - making it optimal for next-generation automotive ECUs and space-sensitive industrial controllers where reliability and density are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBG75AHE3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBG75AHE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V at 5.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under standardized test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBG75AHE3/52 maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range and is validated per AEC-Q101 stress requirements.
Is SMBG75AHE3/52 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG75AHE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's official documentation and ordering code suffix "HE3". This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and accelerated life testing - ensuring reliability in under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics. The SMBG75AHE3/52 is explicitly listed in Vishay's AEC-Q101 qualified products table.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in SMBG75AHE3/52?
The "HE3" suffix in SMBG75AHE3/52 denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability standards. It distinguishes this variant from industrial-grade "E3" parts and halogen-free "HM3" versions. The HE3 marking confirms compliance with automotive reliability requirements and UL 497B recognition for surge protection applications.
Can SMBG75AHE3/52 be used for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, SMBG75AHE3/52 is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "A" (not "CA") suffix and cathode band marking. For bidirectional operation, Vishay specifies part numbers ending in "CA", such as SMBG75CAHE3/52. Using SMBG75AHE3/52 in bidirectional configurations would result in forward conduction during negative transients, potentially damaging the device or failing to protect the circuit.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of SMBG75AHE3/52 at its stand-off voltage?
The SMBG75AHE3/52 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at its 75 V stand-off voltage (VWM) and 25 °C ambient temperature. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on systems and avoids false triggering of downstream monitoring circuits. Leakage remains below 10 µA up to 125 °C, supporting stable operation in high-temperature automotive and industrial deployments.
