Product details
Overview
SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 100 V standoff voltage (VWM), 111–123 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 162 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 3.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies and telecom line cards.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H pinout, SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H application, or SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, bidirectional clamping behavior, thermal derating curves, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and real-world protection use cases - all confirmed from Vishay's official SMBJ5.0A–SMBJ188A specification document (Rev. 09-Jan-2024, Doc. #88392).
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates symmetrically in both directions due to its bidirectional construction, enabling suppression of positive and negative polarity transients without polarity-sensitive placement. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), while the low incremental surge resistance supports fast energy dissipation during ESD or lightning-induced surges.
The device is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and exhibits a typical thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads. Its MSL Level 1 rating (JEDEC J-STD-020) and matte tin-plated leads ensure compatibility with lead-free reflow processes up to 260 °C peak.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 100 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant conduction begins; defines operating margin below clamping threshold. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 111–123 V at IT = 1 mA - Confirmed bidirectional breakdown range; ensures reliable triggering under transient overvoltage conditions. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 162 V at IPPM = 3.7 A (10/1000 µs) - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge; determines safe voltage headroom for downstream components. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Sustained transient energy absorption capability per single 10/1000 µs pulse; enables robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 surges. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | ≤1.0 µA at VWM - Minimal standby power loss and signal integrity impact in high-impedance circuits like sensor bias networks. |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; sets thermal design limits for PCB copper area and ambient operating conditions. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Industry-standard surface-mount outline with 5.59 mm × 4.06 mm footprint and 2.20 mm height; optimized for automated placement and reflow. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ100CAHE3_B/H | Same electrical specs and SMB package, but RoHS-compliant commercial grade (non-AEC-Q101); no halogen-free certification. | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements and halogen-free material is not required. |
| SMAJ100CAHM3 | Lower 400 W PPPM rating; SMA (DO-214AC) package with smaller 4.57 mm × 2.69 mm footprint and higher RθJA (140 °C/W). | Reduced surge handling and thermal performance; requires larger copper area or lower ambient to avoid thermal runaway. | Choose only if board space is constrained and surge threat level is limited to IEC 61000-4-2 ESD (not full 10/1000 µs surges). |
Compared with SMBJ100CAHE3_B/H, the SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H adds halogen-free construction and AEC-Q101 validation without sacrificing clamping performance; versus SMAJ100CAHM3, it delivers +50 % pulse power headroom and superior thermal management in the same layout family.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 162 V when subjected to its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 3.7 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Vishay's datasheet (Doc. #88392, Rev. 09-Jan-2024) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H maintains this clamping performance consistently across its operational temperature range.
Is SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and carries the HM3 suffix indicating halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and automotive-grade construction. It is validated for temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity exposure per AEC-Q101 requirements, making it appropriate for under-hood and chassis-mounted modules such as body control units and power distribution centers. The SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H meets these standards without derating at 125 °C ambient.
How does the bidirectional nature of SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H affect PCB layout?
The SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H has no polarity marking and functions identically in both directions, eliminating orientation constraints during placement. This simplifies PCB layout by allowing rotation-independent mounting on differential lines or ungrounded rails, reducing assembly errors and enabling reuse across AC-coupled or floating signal paths. Unlike unidirectional variants, the SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H requires no cathode alignment check during automated optical inspection or manual rework.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H, and how does it impact heatsinking?
The SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes standard FR-4 PCB construction and dictates minimum copper area needed to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C under sustained 5.0 W power dissipation. For higher ambient temperatures or repeated surges, increasing pad size or adding internal ground planes lowers effective RθJA - the SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H does not require external heatsinks in most applications.
Does SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H meet moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for lead-free reflow?
Yes, SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H is rated MSL Level 1 per JEDEC J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/85 % RH and withstand peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C without preconditioning or baking. Its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102 solderability standards, ensuring reliable wetting during lead-free assembly. This MSL rating applies directly to the SMBJ100CAHM3_B/H part number as shipped in 7" tape-and-reel packaging.
