Product details

Overview

SMBG85AHE3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount TransZORB® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMBG (DO-215AA) package, rated for 85 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 94.4–104 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 137 V clamping voltage (VC) at 4.4 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs). It protects automotive sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients.

For engineers reviewing the SMBG85AHE3/5B datasheet, SMBG85AHE3/5B pinout, SMBG85AHE3/5B application, or SMBG85AHE3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C max junction temperature, low incremental surge resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.

Technical Context

This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with sensitive circuit nodes, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds VBR to limit transient energy. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 μA at 85 V) and fast response time (<1.0 ns), critical for protecting MOSFET gates and CAN/LIN bus receivers.

The SMBG85AHE3/5B is designed for repetitive surge conditions up to 0.01% duty cycle, with thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead), enabling reliable operation under sustained transient stress in automotive engine control units and ADAS domain controllers.

Key Specifications

ParameterValue and Actual Design Meaning
VWM85 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin for 12 V/24 V automotive systems.
VBR (min/max)94.4 V / 104 V at 1.0 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range; ensures consistent turn-on across production lots and temperature.
VC @ IPPM137 V at 4.4 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 μs surge; limits downstream IC stress to <140 V in 85 V-rated circuits.
PPPM600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; supports ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a compliance testing without degradation.
IFSM100 A - 8.3 ms half-sine surge rating; withstands high-energy load dump events in vehicle power distribution networks.

MSL LevelLevel 1 (J-STD-020) - No floor life limitation; supports standard reflow without baking prior to assembly.

Pinout & Package

Package: SMBG (DO-215AA), surface-mount, low-profile case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Cathode indicated by band marking; anode is unmarked end.

Pin/TerminalCircuit RoleDesign Meaning
Cathode (banded end)Transient current sink nodeConnects to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when VREV > VBR; must be routed with low-inductance path to chassis or power ground.
Anode (unmarked end)Reference/return nodeTypically tied to system ground or low-impedance return plane; forms clamping loop with cathode; polarity-sensitive for unidirectional operation.

Key Features

FeatureDesign Value
AEC-Q101 qualifiedValidated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing - required for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS modules.
Glass passivated junctionEnsures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1.0 μA) over lifetime; prevents parameter drift under humidity and thermal stress.
600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs)Handles high-energy transients from relay coil collapse or alternator load dump without failure or parametric shift.
Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.37)Minimizes overvoltage exposure to protected ICs - critical for 100 V-rated CAN transceivers and LIN interface ICs.
MSL Level 1, 260 °C peak reflowEnables single-pass lead-free reflow without moisture sensitivity concerns; eliminates pre-bake step in high-volume SMT lines.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.

Alternative PartTechnical DifferenceApplication DifferenceSelection Advice
SMBG85AE3/5BSame electrical specs but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; industrial-grade only.Not suitable for automotive OEM or Tier 1 production; acceptable for industrial control panels with lower reliability requirements.Select SMBG85AE3/5B only if AEC-Q101 is not mandated and cost is primary constraint.
SMAJ85A-E3/5BSame VWM/VC, but SMA package (DO-214AC); 400 W PPPM, higher RθJA (150 °C/W).Lower power handling and thermal performance; unsuitable for high-duty-cycle automotive environments.Choose SMAJ85A-E3/5B only for space-constrained non-automotive designs where 400 W suffices and reflow profile allows MSL Level 1.

Compared with SMBG85AE3/5B and SMAJ85A-E3/5B, the SMBG85AHE3/5B uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 600 W surge capacity, and SMBG thermal performance - making it the only option qualified for under-hood automotive use with full ISO 7637-2 compliance.

FAQ

What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBG85AHE3/5B and under what test condition?

The SMBG85AHE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 137 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 4.4 A using a 10/1000 μs waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and confirms its suitability for protecting 100 V-rated interfaces in automotive applications.

Is SMBG85AHE3/5B qualified for automotive use, and what standard does it meet?

Yes, SMBG85AHE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified - verified per the full stress test schedule including HTGB, TCT, and H3TRB. The "HE3" suffix explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification and RoHS compliance, making SMBG85AHE3/5B appropriate for safety-critical automotive subsystems such as engine management and ADAS sensors.

What is the thermal resistance of SMBG85AHE3/5B, and how does it affect PCB layout?

SMBG85AHE3/5B has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W and junction-to-lead (RθJL) of 20 °C/W. To maintain safe junction temperature, the PCB must use minimum 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal - smaller pads increase thermal impedance and risk exceeding the 150 °C TJ limit during repeated surges.

Does SMBG85AHE3/5B have polarity marking, and how is it oriented in circuit?

Yes, SMBG85AHE3/5B is unidirectional and features a cathode band marking on the banded end. In circuit, the cathode connects to the line being protected (e.g., signal or power rail), and the anode connects to ground - reverse orientation will prevent clamping and may cause catastrophic failure during overvoltage events.

What packaging format does SMBG85AHE3/5B ship in, and what is the reel quantity?

SMBG85AHE3/5B ships in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel format with a base quantity of 3200 pieces per reel (package code "5B"). This large-reel configuration supports high-volume SMT production lines and reduces changeover frequency compared to 7-inch reels (52-code) holding only 750 units.
