Product details
Overview
SMBG7.5C-E3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-215AA (SMBG) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features 7.5 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 8.33–9.21 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1.0 mA test current, 12.9 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 46.5 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - used in automotive sensor protection and industrial I/O interface surge suppression.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG7.5C-E3/52 datasheet, SMBG7.5C-E3/52 pinout, SMBG7.5C-E3/52 application, or SMBG7.5C-E3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include bi-directional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, RoHS-compliant matte tin terminations, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This bi-directional TVS diode operates symmetrically in both polarities, with identical electrical characteristics forward and reverse - enabling robust protection of AC-coupled or differential signal paths without polarity constraints. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance and low incremental surge resistance under repetitive transient stress.
The device delivers 600 W peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 µs waveform at TA = 25 °C, derating linearly above 25 °C per Fig. 2, and maintains clamping performance across -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature range. Thermal resistance is 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead) under specified mounting conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 7.5 V - Maximum continuous reverse stand-off voltage before significant leakage; defines safe operating margin below breakdown. |
| VBR (min/max) | 8.33 V / 9.21 V at IT = 1.0 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range; ensures reliable triggering during overvoltage events. |
| VC @ IPPM | 12.9 V at 46.5 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; limits downstream IC stress to safe levels. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power dissipation capability; supports high-energy transients common in automotive load-dump or inductive switching. |
| IPPM | 46.5 A - Peak pulse current corresponding to VC; determines minimum trace width and PCB layout robustness. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive or industrial environments. |
| MSL Level | Level 1 per J-STD-020 - No floor life limitation; supports standard reflow without dry-pack or baking requirements. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-clamp TVS placed across +VOUT/GND to absorb repetitive switching noise and accidental overvoltage. Use Value: Withstands 600 W pulses at 0.01% duty cycle, enabling reliable operation in cost-sensitive consumer power supplies. |
Use Scenario: Protecting Ethernet PHY or DSL line drivers from induced surges on telecom infrastructure equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bi-directional transient suppressor integrated into front-end filter stage of line card PCB. Use Value: Symmetric clamping ensures equal protection for differential pairs without polarity alignment concerns during assembly. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.5CA-E3/52 | Same VWM (7.5 V), identical DO-214AA package; lower PPPM = 600 W but higher VC = 13.4 V at same IPPM. | Less aggressive clamping; suitable where margin to downstream IC abs-max is >13.4 V. | Select SMBJ7.5CA-E3/52 only if footprint compatibility with DO-214AA is required and higher clamping voltage is acceptable. |
| SMCJ7.5CA-E3/52 | Same VWM and bi-directionality; larger DO-214AB package; higher PPPM = 1500 W and VC = 12.9 V at 114 A. | Higher surge capacity for harsher environments (e.g., railway or heavy industrial); requires larger PCB area. | Choose SMCJ7.5CA-E3/52 when system-level surge testing exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 and board space permits larger footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ7.5CA-E3/52 and SMCJ7.5CA-E3/52, the SMBG7.5C-E3/52 offers identical clamping voltage to the SMCJ variant but in a smaller DO-215AA package, while providing tighter VBR tolerance than SMBJ - making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial designs requiring precise voltage limiting.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMBG7.5C-E3/52?
The SMBG7.5C-E3/52 is a bi-directional TVS diode with symmetrical terminals and no cathode band marking. Its electrical characteristics apply identically in both directions, making it suitable for AC-coupled signals, differential buses, or any application where polarity cannot be guaranteed during installation or operation. This eliminates orientation errors during automated placement.
Does SMBG7.5C-E3/52 meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SMBG7.5C-E3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified, confirming its suitability for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces. The "HE3" variant (e.g., SMBG7.5CHE3/52) explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, while the base E3 suffix indicates commercial-grade RoHS compliance - both share identical electrical and thermal specs per Vishay Document 88456.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBG7.5C-E3/52 under surge conditions?
The SMBG7.5C-E3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 12.9 V at 46.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case transient events, ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
How does SMBG7.5C-E3/52 differ from uni-directional variants like SMBG7.5A-E3/52?
The SMBG7.5C-E3/52 is bi-directional with no polarity marking and identical VBR, VC, and leakage behavior in both directions, whereas SMBG7.5A-E3/52 is uni-directional with a cathode band and conducts only in reverse bias. The "C" suffix explicitly denotes bi-directional function, critical for protecting AC signals or differential pairs where voltage polarity reverses during normal operation.
What PCB pad layout is recommended for SMBG7.5C-E3/52 to achieve rated thermal and surge performance?
Vishay specifies a minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pad for each terminal to achieve the rated 600 W peak pulse power and thermal resistance values. Smaller pads reduce heat dissipation and surge current handling, potentially causing premature failure. The DO-215AA outline drawing (Document 88456, page 4) defines exact land pattern dimensions and spacing for optimal solder joint reliability and thermal transfer.
