Product details
Overview
SMBJ10CHE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional 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 10 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 11.1–12.3 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 17.0 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 35.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform-used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ10CHE3/52 datasheet, SMBJ10CHE3/52 pinout, SMBJ10CHE3/52 application, or SMBJ10CHE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin vs. protected device's absolute maximum rating, thermal derating above 25 °C, unidirectional polarity marking (cathode band), and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade reliability validation.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device triggered by reverse-biased avalanche breakdown. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<5.0 µA at VWM), while the low incremental surge resistance enables rapid energy absorption during ESD or inductive switching events.
The SMBJ10CHE3/52 is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and exhibits 0.078 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient. It meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, supports 260 °C lead-free reflow, and delivers 100 A non-repetitive forward surge capability (IFSM) - critical for sustaining load-dump transients in 12 V automotive subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 10 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin below protected circuit's max rating. |
| VBR min/max | 11.1 V / 12.3 V at IT = 1 mA - tight breakdown window ensures predictable turn-on without premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPPM | 17.0 V at 35.3 A - clamping voltage under 10/1000 µs surge; determines worst-case overvoltage seen by downstream ICs. |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 µs waveform; defines transient energy absorption capacity per event. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤5.0 µA - reverse leakage at stand-off voltage; ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity in high-impedance nodes. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - maximum junction temperature; sets thermal design limits for PCB copper pad area and ambient derating. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTGB, HTRB, and TCT. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002. Cathode identified by black band on one end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry (unidirectional) | Connected to lower-potential side of protected line; must be tied to ground or return path for proper clamping action. |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased avalanche terminal | Marked with band; connected to higher-potential line (e.g., 12 V rail); conducts when transient exceeds VBR to shunt surge to ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables robust protection against ISO 7637-2 Load Dump and IEC 61000-4-5 surge events without thermal runaway. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood and infotainment applications requiring extended temperature cycling and humidity exposure. |
| Glass passivated chip junction | Ensures long-term parameter stability and low leakage drift across 15-year service life in industrial environments. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Supports standard lead-free reflow without preconditioning; eliminates moisture-related popcorning during assembly. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.53) | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during fast transients, preserving margin for 15 V-rated gate drivers and microcontrollers. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ10CHE3/52 under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMBJ10CHE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 17.0 V at 35.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per standard test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during transient events. The SMBJ10CHE3/52 maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range when mounted per recommended pad layout.
Is SMBJ10CHE3/52 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ10CHE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed rigorous stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, high-temperature operating life, and temperature cycling-required for automotive under-hood and cabin electronics. The "HE3" suffix explicitly denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified construction, distinguishing it from commercial-grade variants like SMBJ10AHE3/52.
What does the "HE3" suffix mean in SMBJ10CHE3/52?
The "HE3" suffix in SMBJ10CHE3/52 indicates RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It replaces the base "A" designation (e.g., SMBJ10A) to denote automotive-grade reliability, while "E3" confirms lead-free matte tin plating and compliance with JEDEC JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The "/52" denotes 7″ tape-and-reel packaging with 750 units per reel.
How does SMBJ10CHE3/52 differ from bidirectional SMBJ10CHE3/52 variants?
SMBJ10CHE3/52 is unidirectional, featuring a cathode band for polarity-sensitive placement; bidirectional equivalents (e.g., SMBJ10CHE3/52CA) lack marking and conduct in both directions. The unidirectional SMBJ10CHE3/52 offers lower leakage (<5.0 µA) and higher IFSM (100 A), making it preferred for DC power rail protection, whereas bidirectional versions suit AC-coupled signal lines where polarity reversal occurs.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ10CHE3/52, and how does it affect layout?
SMBJ10CHE3/52 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 requires careful PCB layout: reducing pad size or omitting thermal vias increases junction temperature, potentially derating peak power handling. For sustained surge duty, designers must apply fig. 2 derating curves from the datasheet to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C.
