Product details
Overview
SMBG75AHE3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMBG (DO-215AA) package, rated for 75 V stand-off voltage, 83.3–92.1 V breakdown at 1 mA, 121 V clamping voltage at 5.0 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power with 10/1000 μs waveform. It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive and industrial power electronics against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG75AHE3/5B datasheet, SMBG75AHE3/5B pinout, SMBG75AHE3/5B application, or SMBG75AHE3/5B equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), junction temperature range (−55 to +150 °C), and RoHS-compliant HE3 suffix marking for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-band polarity identification, designed for fast response (<1 ns) to transient overvoltages. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low incremental surge resistance under repetitive 0.01% duty cycle pulses.
Mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal, it delivers 600 W peak pulse power dissipation while maintaining clamping voltage ≤121 V at 5.0 A IPPM - critical for safeguarding 75 V rail systems such as automotive body control modules and industrial PLC I/O protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines system rail compatibility |
| VBR (min/max) | 83.3 V / 92.1 V at IT = 1.0 mA - guaranteed breakdown window ensures predictable turn-on margin above VWM |
| VC @ IPPM | 121 V at 5.0 A - clamping voltage limits downstream component stress during 10/1000 μs transients |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power rating determines survivability of high-energy surges like ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a |
| IFSM | 100 A - 8.3 ms single half-sine surge current rating supports robustness against load dump events |
| TJ Range | −55 °C to +150 °C - extended junction temperature range enables deployment in under-hood automotive environments |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - thermal resistance informs PCB copper pad design for sustained power handling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75A-E3/5B | Same VWM (75 V), but lower PPPM = 600 W and higher VC = 121 V; identical SMB (DO-214AA) footprint but different package outline | SMBJ series uses DO-214AA (slightly larger body); less suitable for space-constrained AEC-Q101 designs requiring DO-215AA form factor | Select SMBG75AHE3/5B when DO-215AA footprint and AEC-Q101 qualification are mandatory. |
| SMCJ75AHE3/5B | Same VWM/VBR, but higher PPPM = 1500 W and larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; RθJA = 35 °C/W vs. 100 °C/W | Higher power handling suits heavy industrial surge environments but requires more PCB area and different thermal layout | Choose SMBG75AHE3/5B for compact 75 V rail protection where board space and automotive qualification outweigh raw power rating. |
Compared with SMBJ75A-E3/5B and SMCJ75AHE3/5B, SMBG75AHE3/5B uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, DO-215AA footprint, and 600 W capability-making it optimal for space-limited automotive and industrial modules needing validated reliability without oversized packaging.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBG75AHE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBG75AHE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V at 5.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting for 75 V system rails. The SMBG75AHE3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of −55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SMBG75AHE3/5B qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG75AHE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation and the "HE3" suffix designation. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and surge robustness - making SMBG75AHE3/5B suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics including body control modules and sensor interfaces.
What does the "HE3/5B" suffix mean in SMBG75AHE3/5B?
The "HE3" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified construction with matte tin-plated leads; "5B" denotes packaging in 13-inch diameter tape-and-reel format with 3200 units per reel. This distinguishes SMBG75AHE3/5B from non-automotive variants (e.g., E3/52) and confirms its suitability for high-reliability production environments requiring traceable, qualified components.
How does SMBG75AHE3/5B differ from SMBJ75A-E3/5B?
SMBG75AHE3/5B uses the smaller SMBG (DO-215AA) package versus SMBJ75A-E3/5B's SMB (DO-214AA), enabling tighter board layouts. Both share 75 V VWM and 600 W PPPM, but only SMBG75AHE3/5B carries AEC-Q101 qualification and the HE3 suffix. The SMBG75AHE3/5B also features lower thermal resistance in its specified mounting condition (100 °C/W).
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of SMBG75AHE3/5B at its stand-off voltage?
At its 75 V stand-off voltage (VWM), the SMBG75AHE3/5B exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 μA at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity and power efficiency in high-impedance sensing and always-on circuits - a key advantage over higher-leakage alternatives in battery-powered or precision analog applications.
