Product details
Overview
SMBJ11AHE3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in power and signal lines. It features a 11 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 12.2–13.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 18.2 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 33 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive power supplies, industrial sensor interfaces, and DC input protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ11AHE3_A/H datasheet, SMBJ11AHE3_A/H pinout, SMBJ11AHE3_A/H application, or SMBJ11AHE3_A/H equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability transient suppression where AEC-Q101 qualification, low clamping ratio, and stable thermal performance up to 150 °C junction temperature are required.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-band polarity marking, optimized for fast response (<1 ns) to ESD and surge events per IEC 61000-4-2/4-5. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<5 µA at VWM) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling precise voltage limiting during repetitive transients.
The SMBJ11AHE3_A/H is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine), supports 5.0 W steady-state power dissipation at 50 °C ambient, and exhibits a +0.080 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR - critical for predictable clamping behavior across automotive (-40 to +125 °C ambient) and industrial operating ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 11 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates; defines safe DC bias margin for protected circuitry. |
| VBR (min/max) | 12.2 V / 13.5 V at 1 mA - Verified breakdown threshold range ensuring reliable turn-on without premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPPM | 18.2 V at 33 A - Clamped voltage under 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on downstream ICs or MOSFETs. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; enables protection against lightning-induced surges and inductive switching spikes. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤5.0 µA - Ultra-low reverse leakage at stand-off voltage; preserves efficiency in battery-powered or high-impedance sensor nodes. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature rating; supports operation in under-hood automotive and enclosed industrial environments. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Standardized surface-mount outline with 5.59 mm × 4.06 mm footprint and 2.20 mm height; compatible with automated pick-and-place. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102; polarity indicated by cathode band on unidirectional devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Use Scenario: High-side gate drive supply (e.g., bootstrap node) in BLDC inverters subject to Miller-induced spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS connected between gate driver VDD and COM to clamp negative-going transients during switching. Use Value: Fast <1 ns response prevents false turn-on of high-side MOSFETs; 150 °C TJ rating matches gate driver thermal environment. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ11AHM3_A/H | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant variant with identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification. | No functional difference; selected when halogen-free material compliance is mandated by OEM or regional regulations. | Direct material substitution where halogen content restrictions apply; same PCB layout and thermal profile. |
| 1.5SMC11A | Same VWM (11 V) and VC (18.2 V), but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; 1.5 kW PPPM rating vs. 600 W. | Higher surge capacity suits infrequent high-energy events (e.g., outdoor telecom equipment), but requires larger board area. | Choose when higher single-pulse energy tolerance is needed and board space permits SMC footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ11AHM3_A/H, the SMBJ11AHE3_A/H offers identical protection performance with standard RoHS compliance; versus 1.5SMC11A, it trades peak power headroom for compact SMB footprint - optimizing for space-constrained automotive and portable industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ11AHE3_A/H under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMBJ11AHE3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 18.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 33 A with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per standard test conditions (TA = 25 °C) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events - critical for ensuring compatibility with 16 V-rated downstream components. The SMBJ11AHE3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ11AHE3_A/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ11AHE3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designated for automotive use with ordering code suffix HE3. It meets requirements for temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and surge endurance relevant to engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems. Its 150 °C maximum junction temperature, MSL Level 1 reflow rating, and verified performance under ISO 7637-2 load dump conditions make SMBJ11AHE3_A/H appropriate for under-hood and cabin-mounted ECUs.
How does the leakage current of SMBJ11AHE3_A/H compare at its 11 V stand-off voltage?
At its 11 V stand-off voltage (VWM), the SMBJ11AHE3_A/H exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 5.0 µA at 25 °C - confirmed per Vishay's Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low leakage preserves power integrity in always-on circuits and avoids loading high-impedance sensor outputs. Leakage remains within specification across the full -55 °C to +125 °C ambient range, supporting reliable operation in battery-backed and low-power industrial nodes using SMBJ11AHE3_A/H.
What package type does SMBJ11AHE3_A/H use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
SMBJ11AHE3_A/H uses the SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package: 5.59 mm × 4.06 mm body length/width, 2.20 mm maximum height, with 0.086 inch (2.18 mm) minimum cathode-to-anode lead spacing. The package features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability standards and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. Its compact size enables high-density placement in space-constrained layouts typical of modern automotive and industrial PCBs using SMBJ11AHE3_A/H.
Does SMBJ11AHE3_A/H have bidirectional capability?
No, SMBJ11AHE3_A/H is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor, as indicated by the "A" suffix and cathode-band marking. It conducts only when the cathode is positive relative to the anode - ideal for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential signals), Vishay offers the SMBJ11CA variant; SMBJ11AHE3_A/H must not be substituted in such applications without circuit redesign to accommodate polarity-sensitive clamping behavior.
