Product details
Overview
SMBJ100HE3/5B 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 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 (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in industrial motor drives, telecom power supplies, and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ100HE3/5B datasheet, SMBJ100HE3/5B pinout, SMBJ100HE3/5B application, or SMBJ100HE3/5B equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and RoHS-compliant packaging details required for ESD/surge protection design-in and BOM validation.
Technical Context
The SMBJ100HE3/5B operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold (VBR min = 111 V), thereby clamping transient surges to ≤162 V at 3.7 A. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and fast response time (<1.0 ps), critical for protecting MOSFET gates and microcontroller I/O against lightning-induced spikes or inductive switching transients.
Thermally, it uses a low-profile SMB package with RθJL = 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead) and is rated for 5.0 W continuous power dissipation at TA = 50 °C. The device meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C peak, and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive under-hood applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 100 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; defines safe DC rail margin for 12 V–48 V systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 111 V / 123 V at IT = 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures predictable turn-on during surge events without premature triggering. |
| VC @ IPPM | 162 V at 3.7 A (10/1000 µs) - Clamped voltage seen by protected circuit; must be below IC absolute maximum ratings. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak transient energy handling capacity; sufficient for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV/2 Ω) surge testing. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - Ultra-low reverse leakage preserves battery life and avoids false trips in high-impedance sensor interfaces. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and enclosed industrial enclosures without derating. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Thermal resistance dictates PCB copper pad sizing (0.2" × 0.2") needed to maintain junction temperature within limit at full power. |
Pinout & Package

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-E3/5B | No AEC-Q101 qualification; commercial-grade only; same VWM/VBR/VC/PPPM specs. | Limited to non-automotive industrial or consumer use where automotive reliability certification is not mandated. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements and thermal environment remains <125 °C. |
| SMCJ100AHE3/5B | Same VWM/VBR but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; higher PPPM = 1500 W; RθJA = 40 °C/W. | Better suited for high-energy surge environments (e.g., AC mains input stages) requiring longer surge duration immunity. | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 and PCB layout permits larger footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ100A-E3/5B, SMBJ100HE3/5B adds AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive deployment, while SMCJ100AHE3/5B trades compact SMB size for 2.5× higher surge energy handling - making SMBJ100HE3/5B optimal for space-constrained, automotive-grade 48 V rail protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ100HE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ100HE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 162 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 3.7 A, measured under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within their absolute maximum voltage ratings during surge events. The SMBJ100HE3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SMBJ100HE3/5B qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ100HE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation and ordering code suffix "HE3". This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and ESD, enabling use in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems. The SMBJ100HE3/5B is explicitly designated for automotive-grade deployment unlike commercial variants such as SMBJ100A-E3/5B.
What is the reverse leakage current of SMBJ100HE3/5B at its stand-off voltage?
The SMBJ100HE3/5B exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at its 100 V stand-off voltage (VWM), tested at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage minimizes standby power loss and prevents false triggering in high-impedance circuits such as sensor bias networks or battery-monitoring inputs. The SMBJ100HE3/5B maintains leakage below 5 µA even at elevated temperatures up to +125 °C.
Does SMBJ100HE3/5B meet moisture sensitivity level requirements for lead-free reflow?
Yes, SMBJ100HE3/5B meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be subjected to standard lead-free reflow profiles with a peak temperature of 260 °C without preconditioning or baking. This eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk and simplifies high-volume SMT assembly. The SMBJ100HE3/5B's DO-214AA package construction and molding compound are specifically validated for this rating.
How does the thermal resistance of SMBJ100HE3/5B affect PCB layout?
The SMBJ100HE3/5B 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. To avoid exceeding the +150 °C maximum junction temperature under 5.0 W continuous dissipation, designers must allocate adequate copper area and consider airflow or nearby heat sources. The SMBJ100HE3/5B's RθJL of 20 °C/W further supports efficient heat transfer to PCB planes via its leads.
