Product details
Overview
SMBJ100AHM3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed to protect sensitive electronics against voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lightning surges. It features a 100 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 111–123 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 162 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 3.7 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ100AHM3/H datasheet, SMBJ100AHM3/H pinout, SMBJ100AHM3/H application, or SMBJ100AHM3/H equivalent, this device is selected for robust overvoltage protection on DC power rails, I/O lines, and MOSFET gate drivers in industrial motor controls, telecom power supplies, and automotive ECUs where halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101-qualified components are required.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-banded polarity, leveraging a glass-passivated silicon junction for stable avalanche behavior under transient stress. Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns) enable effective suppression of ESD, EFT, and surge events per IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5.
The SMBJ100AHM3/H is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and exhibits a VBR temperature coefficient of +0.107 %/°C - critical for thermal stability in high-ambient environments. Its MSL Level 1 rating (per J-STD-020) and matte tin-plated leads ensure compatibility with standard reflow profiles and long-term solderability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| VWM | 100 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin for 12 V–48 V systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 111 V / 123 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures reliable turn-on without premature conduction during normal operation. |
| VC @ IPPM | 162 V at 3.7 A - Clamping voltage limits downstream component stress during 600 W transient events. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 µs waveform supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV) surge immunity. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Non-repetitive forward surge rating enables robust protection against 8.3 ms half-sine faults in power supply inputs. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - High junction temperature rating allows deployment in engine bay or industrial enclosures without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ100AHE3/H | Same electrical specs, but RoHS-compliant commercial grade (non-halogen-free, non-AEC-Q101 qualified). | Limited to non-automotive industrial or consumer use where halogen-free or automotive qualification is not mandated. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs halogen-free or AEC-Q101 requirements. |
| SMBJ100CAHM3/H | Bidirectional variant with same VWM (100 V), but symmetric clamping in both polarities; VC = 162 V in either direction. | Required for AC-coupled signal lines or bidirectional data buses (e.g., RS-485) where negative transients must also be suppressed. | Choose only if circuit experiences reversible polarity transients; otherwise unidirectional SMBJ100AHM3/H offers lower leakage and tighter VBR tolerance. |
Compared with SMBJ100AHE3/H, the SMBJ100AHM3/H adds halogen-free construction and AEC-Q101 qualification without sacrificing clamping performance; versus SMBJ100CAHM3/H, it provides superior unidirectional leakage control and optimized response for DC power rail protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ100AHM3/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ100AHM3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 162 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 3.7 A, measured using a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events and is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88392, page 2. The SMBJ100AHM3/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ100AHM3/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ100AHM3/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designated for automotive use via the HM3 suffix, indicating halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and stress-tested construction. It meets requirements for under-hood and cabin modules including body control units and lighting drivers. The SMBJ100AHM3/H is validated for operating junction temperatures up to +150 °C and withstands repetitive surge events per ISO 7637-2.
How does the HM3 suffix differ from the HE3 suffix in Vishay's SMBJ series?
The HM3 suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101-qualified construction, whereas HE3 indicates RoHS-compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification but without halogen-free material certification. Both meet automotive reliability standards, but SMBJ100AHM3/H satisfies stricter environmental mandates such as JEDEC J-STD-20 and EU Directive 2015/863. The SMBJ100AHM3/H is preferred for Tier 1 automotive supply chains requiring full halogen-free documentation.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of SMBJ100AHM3/H at its stand-off voltage?
The SMBJ100AHM3/H exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at its rated stand-off voltage (VWM) of 100 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on systems and prevents unintended biasing of downstream circuitry. The value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the Vishay SMBJ5.0A–SMBJ188A datasheet (Document Number 88392, page 2).
Can SMBJ100AHM3/H be used in bidirectional signal line protection?
No - SMBJ100AHM3/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, identifiable by its cathode band marking and asymmetric I-V characteristics. For bidirectional protection (e.g., RS-485, CAN, or AC signal lines), the bidirectional variant SMBJ100CAHM3/H must be used. Using SMBJ100AHM3/H on bidirectional paths risks failure during negative transients, as it conducts only in reverse bias. Always verify polarity alignment before placing SMBJ100AHM3/H in circuit.
