Product details

Overview

SMBG9.0CHE3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-215AA (SMBG) package, designed for clamping inductive switching transients and ESD events on signal/power lines. It features 9.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 10.0–11.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 15.4 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 39.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform). It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used in automotive sensor protection circuits.

For engineers reviewing the SMBG9.0CHE3/5B datasheet, SMBG9.0CHE3/5B pinout, SMBG9.0CHE3/5B application, or SMBG9.0CHE3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include bi-directional clamping capability, 150 °C junction temperature rating, RoHS-compliant AEC-Q101 qualification, low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.

Technical Context

This device operates as a voltage-clamping protector in bi-directional configurations, with symmetrical avalanche breakdown behavior in both polarities. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±10%) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling consistent clamping performance under repetitive 10/1000 µs transients at 0.01% duty cycle.

Thermal design relies on RθJA = 100 °C/W (on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm pads) and RθJL = 20 °C/W, supporting operation from –55 °C to +150 °C. The DO-215AA package meets UL 94 V-0 and J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow), with matte tin-plated leads compliant to JESD 22-B102 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.

Key Specifications

Parameter Value and Actual Design Meaning
Stand-off Voltage (VWM)9.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before clamping begins; defines operating margin below breakdown
Breakdown Voltage (VBR)10.0–11.1 V at 1 mA - Guaranteed avalanche initiation range; ensures reliable turn-on during transients
Clamping Voltage (VC)15.4 V at 39.0 A (10/1000 µs) - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit; determines safe IC voltage margin
Peak Pulse Power (PPPM)600 W - Sustained transient energy handling per IEC 61000-4-5; enables robust protection against lightning surges
Junction Temperature Range–55 °C to +150 °C - Supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments without derating loss
Leakage Current (ID)<1.0 µA at 9.0 V - Negligible standby power loss; avoids signal line loading in high-impedance interfaces
AEC-Q101 QualifiedYes - Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTGB, TCT, HTRB

Pinout & Package

DO-215AA (SMBG) surface-mount package: 2-terminal, bi-directional device with no polarity marking; terminals are matte tin-plated leads suitable for reflow soldering per J-STD-002. Case meets UL 94 V-0; dimensions: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.10 mm (L × W × H).

Pin/Terminal Circuit Role Design Meaning
Anode/Cathode (unmarked)Bi-directional avalanche junctionNo cathode band; symmetric conduction in both directions - simplifies PCB layout and eliminates orientation errors
Lead 1 / Lead 2Current path for transient energy dissipationConnected to internal chip via low-inductance bond wires; requires 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads for thermal and surge current handling

Key Features

Feature Design Value
600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs)Enables protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV line-to-line) without derating in standard layouts
AEC-Q101 qualificationValidates reliability for automotive ECUs, ADAS sensors, and body control modules under temperature cycling and humidity stress
Glass passivated junctionEnsures stable VBR over lifetime and immunity to moisture-induced parameter drift in harsh environments
MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak)Supports single-pass lead-free reflow without pre-baking; reduces manufacturing complexity and cost
Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.5)Minimizes overvoltage stress on downstream ICs - critical for 12 V automotive logic and CAN transceivers

Equivalent & Alternatives

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

Alternative Part Technical Difference Application Difference Selection Advice
SMBJ9.0CASame VWM (9.0 V), higher IPPM (43.0 A), higher VC (15.5 V); DO-214AA (SMB) package, not AEC-Q101 qualifiedLacks automotive qualification; suitable for commercial/industrial use onlySelect when AEC-Q101 is not required and higher surge margin is needed on same PCB footprint
1.5KE9.1CAHigher PPPM (1500 W), larger DO-201AD package, VWM = 9.1 V, VC = 15.0 V at 100 A; not AEC-Q101 qualifiedThrough-hole mounting; unsuitable for automated SMT productionChoose for prototyping or legacy through-hole designs where board space allows larger case and higher power rating

Compared with SMBG9.0CHE3/5B, SMBJ9.0CA offers slightly higher surge current handling but lacks automotive qualification, while 1.5KE9.1CA provides greater power capacity in a through-hole format - making SMBG9.0CHE3/5B the optimal choice for AEC-Q101-compliant SMT automotive designs requiring precise 9.0 V clamping.

FAQ

What is the polarity configuration of SMBG9.0CHE3/5B?

SMBG9.0CHE3/5B is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor with no polarity marking on the DO-215AA package. Its symmetrical avalanche structure allows identical clamping behavior in both forward and reverse directions, eliminating orientation concerns during PCB assembly and simplifying layout for differential or AC-coupled signal lines.

Is SMBG9.0CHE3/5B suitable for automotive applications?

Yes, SMBG9.0CHE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use. Its construction - including glass-passivated junction, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and –55 °C to +150 °C operating range - meets stress test requirements for engine control units, ADAS sensors, and body electronics where reliability under thermal cycling and humidity is critical.

What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBG9.0CHE3/5B under surge conditions?

The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of SMBG9.0CHE3/5B is 15.4 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs waveform at its rated peak pulse current of 39.0 A. This value is guaranteed across temperature and lifetime, ensuring downstream components like 5 V microcontrollers or CAN transceivers remain within safe operating voltage limits during transient events.

Does SMBG9.0CHE3/5B require a heatsink for standard operation?

No, SMBG9.0CHE3/5B does not require an external heatsink under typical surge conditions. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W) is specified for mounting on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal - sufficient to dissipate 600 W peak pulses with short duration and low duty cycle (0.01%). Continuous power dissipation remains negligible due to its TVS operating mode.

How does the HE3 suffix in SMBG9.0CHE3/5B affect its specifications?

The HE3 suffix in SMBG9.0CHE3/5B denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. It does not alter electrical parameters versus the E3 version, but adds automotive-grade reliability validation and enhanced plating durability - making SMBG9.0CHE3/5B appropriate for mission-critical automotive production, unlike the commercial-grade E3 variant.
