Product details
Overview
SMBJ11AHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed to protect sensitive electronics against voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lightning surges. 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 (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ11AHE3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ11AHE3_B/H pinout, SMBJ11AHE3_B/H application, or SMBJ11AHE3_B/H equivalent, this device is selected for robust overvoltage protection on DC power rails, MOSFET gate drivers, and sensor signal lines in industrial control, automotive ECUs, and telecom infrastructure where AEC-Q101 qualification, low clamping ratio, and fast response time are critical.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-banded polarity, leveraging a glass-passivated silicon junction for stable avalanche behavior under repetitive surge conditions. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W) and junction temperature limit (TJ max = 150 °C) support reliable operation on standard PCB copper pads without heatsinking.
The device complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 surge standards and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (peak reflow ≤ 260 °C). It is RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified - confirmed by the "HE3" suffix - making it suitable for automotive-grade power rail protection where long-term reliability under thermal cycling and humidity is required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 11 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; defines safe DC bias margin for protected circuit. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 12.2–13.5 V at 1 mA - Guaranteed avalanche initiation range; ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 18.2 V at IPPM = 33 A - Peak voltage seen by downstream circuit during 600 W transient; determines protection margin for 12 V systems. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W (10/1000 µs) - Sustains high-energy transients without failure; enables use in IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliant designs. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | 5.0 µA max at VWM - Minimal standby current draw; avoids loading of low-power sensor or microcontroller supply rails. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures with elevated ambient temperatures. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Standardized surface-mount outline with 0.220" x 0.155" footprint; compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow processes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Polarity marked by cathode band on one end; anode is unmarked end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink node | Connected to protected line (e.g., +12 V rail); conducts surge current to ground when V > VBR. |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference / return path | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return plane; completes clamping path during overvoltage event. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics; supports extended temperature and lifetime reliability requirements. |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Withstands high-energy transients per IEC 61000-4-5; eliminates need for external series impedance in many 12 V DC protection schemes. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.42) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during clamping; preserves margin for 12 V logic and analog ICs with 20 V absolute maximum ratings. |
| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Allows unlimited floor life and standard reflow profile (peak 260 °C); eliminates baking requirement prior to assembly. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR over time and temperature; reduces parameter drift in harsh industrial or automotive environments. |

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_B/H | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified - identical electrical specs but different material composition. | No functional difference; selected when halogen-free compliance is mandated by OEM environmental policy. | Direct material substitution where halogen content must be minimized; same footprint, thermal, and electrical performance. |
| SMBJ11A-E3/52 | Commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), same SMB package and electrical characteristics; RoHS-compliant but not automotive-qualified. | Suitable for non-automotive industrial or consumer applications where AEC-Q101 is not required. | Cost-optimized alternative for non-automotive designs; requires validation for extended temperature and lifetime stress. |
Compared with SMBJ11AHE3_B/H, the HM3 variant offers identical protection performance with halogen-free packaging, while the E3/52 version provides commercial-grade cost savings without AEC-Q101 validation - enabling tiered selection based on automotive compliance and material restrictions.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ11AHE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ11AHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 18.2 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 33 A, measured using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a 600 W transient event and is critical for ensuring compatibility with 12 V system components' absolute maximum ratings. The SMBJ11AHE3_B/H maintains this clamping performance across its qualified temperature range.
Is SMBJ11AHE3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ11AHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HE3" suffix in its ordering code. It is specifically designed for automotive environments, supporting operating junction temperatures from –55 °C to +150 °C and validated for reliability under thermal cycling, humidity, and mechanical stress per AEC-Q101 test conditions. The SMBJ11AHE3_B/H is commonly deployed in engine control modules, body control units, and ADAS power supplies.
How does the SMBJ11AHE3_B/H differ from the SMBJ11A-E3/52 variant?
The SMBJ11AHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and RoHS-compliant, whereas the SMBJ11A-E3/52 is RoHS-compliant but commercial-grade only - lacking automotive qualification. Both share identical electrical parameters (VWM = 11 V, VC = 18.2 V, PPPM = 600 W) and SMB package dimensions. The SMBJ11AHE3_B/H is selected when automotive reliability certification is mandatory; the E3/52 serves cost-sensitive industrial or consumer applications.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SMBJ11AHE3_B/H at its stand-off voltage?
The SMBJ11AHE3_B/H specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 5.0 µA at its stand-off voltage (VWM) of 11 V and TA = 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss and avoids unintended loading of low-current sensor outputs or battery-backed circuits. The SMBJ11AHE3_B/H maintains leakage below 10 µA even at elevated temperatures up to 85 °C, as verified in Vishay's characterization data.
Can SMBJ11AHE3_B/H be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No, SMBJ11AHE3_B/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "A" suffix and cathode band marking. For bidirectional protection, Vishay offers the SMBJ11CA variant (with "CA" suffix), which provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities. Using SMBJ11AHE3_B/H in reverse-biased configurations risks permanent damage due to lack of reverse avalanche capability. Always match the device polarity to the protection topology - SMBJ11AHE3_B/H is intended for DC rail-to-ground clamping only.
