Product details
Overview
SMBJ100HE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 100 V standoff voltage (VWM), 111–123 V breakdown range (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 - deployed in industrial motor drives, automotive body control modules, and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ100HE3/52 datasheet, SMBJ100HE3/52 pinout, SMBJ100HE3/52 application, or SMBJ100HE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), junction temperature limit (TJ = 150 °C), and compliance with UL 497B surge protector classification.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (>1 µA leakage at 100 V), but triggers into low-impedance conduction when transient voltage exceeds VBR, limiting downstream voltage to ≤162 V. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable avalanche characteristics and fast response (<1 ns).
Designed for PCB-level surge immunity per IEC 61000-4-5 (indirect lightning) and IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD), it supports repetitive transients at 0.01% duty cycle and withstands 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine). The SMB package enables automated placement and meets MSL Level 1 reflow profile (260 °C peak).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 100 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA; defines safe DC rail operating margin. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 111–123 V at 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures reliable triggering above nominal system voltage. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 162 V at 3.7 A (10/1000 µs) - Measured peak voltage across device during surge; determines protected circuit's maximum stress level. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Sustained energy absorption capability for standardized 10/1000 µs transients; validates protection against common load-switching spikes. |
| TJmax | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; sets thermal derating boundary for sustained power dissipation and ambient operation. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads; used to calculate temperature rise under DC bias or repetitive surges. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD; required for under-hood and BCM applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ100A-E3/52 | Commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), same VWM/VC/PPPM, identical SMB package and pinout. | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial power supplies where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements and no temperature cycling or HTRB validation is needed. |
| SMCJ100AHE3/52 | Same electrical specs but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; higher RθJA (60 °C/W) and 1500 W PPPM. | Better thermal performance and surge margin; requires larger PCB footprint and different pad layout. | Choose when higher surge endurance (e.g., outdoor telecom) justifies added board space and assembly cost. |
Compared with SMBJ100A-E3/52, the SMBJ100HE3/52 adds AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use without changing electrical behavior; versus SMCJ100AHE3/52, it trades surge headroom and thermal margin for compact SMB footprint and lower profile - ideal for space-constrained BCMs and consumer boards.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ100HE3/52 and how is it measured?
The SMBJ100HE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 162 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 3.7 A using the standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform. This value is guaranteed per the Vishay datasheet (Document Number 88392, Rev. 09-Jan-2024) and reflects worst-case voltage seen by downstream circuitry during surge events - critical for validating IC survival margins in designs using SMBJ100HE3/52.
Is SMBJ100HE3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ100HE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by its "HE3" suffix and documentation in the Vishay SMBJ5.0A–SMBJ188A datasheet. It undergoes rigorous testing for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and ESD, making it appropriate for under-hood and body electronics such as BCMs and lighting control units where SMBJ100HE3/52 provides certified surge immunity.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in SMBJ100HE3/52?
The "HE3" suffix in SMBJ100HE3/52 denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability. It distinguishes this variant from commercial-grade "E3" parts and halogen-free "HM3" versions - confirming that SMBJ100HE3/52 meets automotive reliability standards while retaining the same electrical specs and SMB package as the base SMBJ100A series.
Can SMBJ100HE3/52 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, SMBJ100HE3/52 is unidirectional only, as indicated by its part number ending in "A" (not "CA") and explicit marking of cathode band. Bidirectional operation requires CA-suffixed variants like SMBJ100CA; using SMBJ100HE3/52 in reverse-biased AC applications would result in forward conduction and failure - always verify polarity alignment when deploying SMBJ100HE3/52 in circuit design.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ100HE3/52 and how does it affect layout?
SMBJ100HE3/52 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 minimal copper area; increasing pad size or adding thermal vias reduces RθJA and improves surge survivability. Layout must follow Vishay's recommended mounting pad dimensions to ensure SMBJ100HE3/52 maintains specified power derating and clamping stability.
