Product details
Overview
SMBJ10-E3/5B 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 sensitive electronics. 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 (PPPM) with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed on power rails and signal lines of industrial sensors and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ10-E3/5B datasheet, SMBJ10-E3/5B pinout, SMBJ10-E3/5B application, or SMBJ10-E3/5B equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior under surge conditions, RoHS-compliant commercial-grade qualification, and precise mechanical mounting data per J-STD-020 MSL Level 1.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a clamping device across DC supply lines or low-speed signal paths, activating when transient voltage exceeds its reverse stand-off threshold (VWM = 10 V) and limiting downstream voltage to ≤17.0 V at 35.3 A. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable avalanche characteristics and fast response time (<1 ns), while the SMB package supports automated placement and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
The device is rated for -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature, with thermal resistance RθJA = 100 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W. It complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 for surge protection and is RoHS-compliant (E3 suffix), with no halogen content specified - suitable for commercial-grade applications where AEC-Q101 qualification is not required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ10A-E3/52 | Same electrical specs; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (750 pcs vs. 3200 pcs on 13" reel) | No functional difference; selected when smaller reel quantity aligns with production batch size | Choose SMBJ10A-E3/52 for pilot runs or low-volume builds requiring shorter lead times |
| SMBJ10CA-E3/5B | Bidirectional variant: symmetric VBR (11.1–12.3 V), same VC (17.0 V), but ID doubled to 10 µA at VWM | Required for AC-coupled or polarity-agnostic signal lines (e.g., RS-485, CAN bus), not DC rails | Select SMBJ10CA-E3/5B only when protecting bidirectional interfaces where reverse polarity transients occur |
Compared with SMBJ10A-E3/52, SMBJ10-E3/5B offers identical protection performance with higher reel quantity for cost-efficient high-volume SMT assembly; versus SMBJ10CA-E3/5B, it provides lower leakage and optimized clamping for unidirectional DC power domains - making SMBJ10-E3/5B the preferred choice for 12 V/24 V supply rail protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ10-E3/5B under surge conditions?
The SMBJ10-E3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 17.0 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 35.3 A using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events - critical for ensuring compatibility with 20 V-rated downstream components.
Is SMBJ10-E3/5B suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101 qualification?
No, SMBJ10-E3/5B is a commercial-grade part with RoHS compliance (E3 suffix) but not AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive use, specify SMBJ10HE3_B/I or SMBJ10HM3_B/I - these variants include the HE3/HM3 suffix and are explicitly tested to AEC-Q101 requirements, including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and surge endurance validation.
How does the SMBJ10-E3/5B differ from SMBJ10CA-E3/5B?
SMBJ10-E3/5B is unidirectional with cathode band marking and 5.0 µA max reverse leakage at 10 V, while SMBJ10CA-E3/5B is bidirectional (no polarity marking), exhibits symmetric breakdown in both directions, and allows up to 10 µA leakage at VWM. The clamping voltage remains identical (17.0 V), but SMBJ10CA-E3/5B is intended for AC or polarity-ambiguous signal lines like RS-485 or CAN.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ10-E3/5B from junction to ambient?
The SMBJ10-E3/5B has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended copper pad layout (0.2" × 0.2" per terminal). This value assumes natural convection cooling and is essential for calculating steady-state junction temperature rise under continuous power dissipation - though the device is primarily rated for transient, not continuous, power handling.
Can SMBJ10-E3/5B be used in place of SMAJ10A?
No - SMBJ10-E3/5B and SMAJ10A differ in package (SMB vs. SMA), power rating (600 W vs. 400 W), and clamping performance (17.0 V vs. 19.0 V at rated IPPM). Substituting SMBJ10-E3/5B for SMAJ10A may improve surge margin but requires PCB land pattern revision due to larger SMB footprint (4.57 mm × 3.94 mm vs. 4.06 mm × 2.92 mm) and altered thermal pad layout.
