Product details
Overview
SMBG75CAHE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMBG (DO-215AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power 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 - used to protect automotive sensor interfaces and industrial I/O circuits against ESD and load dump.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG75CAHE3/52 datasheet, SMBG75CAHE3/52 pinout, SMBG75CAHE3/52 application, or SMBG75CAHE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.34), junction temperature range (–55 °C to +150 °C), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped surge protector with symmetrical avalanche breakdown in both polarities, enabling protection of AC-coupled or floating signal paths without polarity constraints. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM) and fast response time (<1.0 ps typical), while the low incremental surge resistance supports consistent clamping under repetitive 0.01% duty cycle surges.
The SMBG75CAHE3/52 is rated for 600 W peak pulse power per 10/1000 μs waveform, derated linearly above 25 °C ambient using a 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. It meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive under-hood and chassis applications requiring robust transient immunity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75CA-E3/52 | Same VWM (75 V), same SMB package, but lower PPPM (600 W vs. SMBJ's 600 W - identical rating), slightly higher VC (124 V vs. 121 V) | Identical use cases; minor clamping voltage difference may affect margin in high-precision analog sensing | Select SMBG75CAHE3/52 when AEC-Q101 qualification is mandatory; SMBJ75CA-E3/52 suffices for industrial-only designs |
| SMCJ75CAHE3_A/H | Higher power rating (1500 W), larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same VWM and VBR range | Used where higher surge repetition or longer duration transients (e.g., ISO 16750-2) require greater energy handling | Choose SMBG75CAHE3/52 for space-constrained PCBs; SMCJ75CAHE3_A/H where board area allows and surge severity exceeds 600 W |
Compared with SMBJ75CA-E3/52 and SMCJ75CAHE3_A/H, the SMBG75CAHE3/52 offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 compliance, compact SMBG footprint, and precise 121 V clamping - making it preferred for automotive sensor nodes and dense industrial modules where layout area and qualification rigor are critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBG75CAHE3/52 under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The SMBG75CAHE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V at 5.0 A peak pulse current under the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay Document 88456 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Is SMBG75CAHE3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG75CAHE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use per Vishay's ordering information and mechanical data tables. Its MSL Level 1 rating, –55 °C to +150 °C operating range, and bidirectional clamping make it appropriate for engine control units, ADAS sensor interfaces, and body electronics where reliability under harsh thermal and electrical conditions is required.
How does the SMBG75CAHE3/52 differ from unidirectional variants like SMBG75AHE3/52?
The SMBG75CAHE3/52 is bidirectional, meaning it clamps voltage transients of either polarity symmetrically across its terminals, with no cathode band marking. In contrast, SMBG75AHE3/52 is unidirectional, featuring a cathode band and conducting only in reverse bias - suitable for DC-biased lines. The "CA" suffix denotes bidirectional functionality, confirmed in Vishay's primary characteristics table and device marking code section.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SMBG75CAHE3/52 at its stand-off voltage?
At its 75 V stand-off voltage (VWM), the SMBG75CAHE3/52 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 μA at 25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of Vishay Document 88456. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal loading on high-impedance sensor outputs and preserves signal fidelity in precision analog monitoring circuits.
Does SMBG75CAHE3/52 require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes - Vishay specifies mounting on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal to achieve rated 600 W pulse power dissipation. Smaller pads reduce thermal mass and cause premature failure under surge. Additionally, minimize trace inductance between the SMBG75CAHE3/52 and protected node, and avoid routing sensitive signals near its terminals to prevent coupling during clamping events.
