Product details
Overview
SMBJ11AHM3_B/H 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 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.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ11AHM3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ11AHM3_B/H pinout, SMBJ11AHM3_B/H application, or SMBJ11AHM3_B/H equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability surge suppression in automotive-grade industrial power supplies, sensor interface circuits, and MOSFET gate protection where low clamping voltage, fast response (<1 ps), and AEC-Q101 qualification are critical.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, conducting only in reverse bias above VBR to limit transient voltages across protected components. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance and long-term reliability under repetitive surge stress.
The SMBJ11AHM3_B/H is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine), operates from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. Its halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and AEC-Q101 qualification support automotive and harsh-environment deployments.
Key Specifications

| VWM | 11 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin. |
| VBR (min/max) | 12.2 V / 13.5 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures predictable turn-on threshold across production lot. |
| VC @ IPPM | 18.2 V at 33 A - Clamping voltage limits downstream component stress during 600 W transient events. |
| PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 µs) - Peak surge energy handling capacity suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ11AHE3_B/H | Same electrical specs; RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free; no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Approved for commercial-grade industrial use only; excluded from automotive BOMs requiring AEC-Q101. | Select when halogen-free content is not mandated and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| SMBJ11CAHM3_B/H | Bidirectional variant; symmetric VBR (12.2–13.5 V), same VC (18.2 V), but no anode/cathode polarity marking. | Required for AC-coupled or bidirectional signal lines (e.g., RS-485, CAN bus) where polarity reversal may occur. | Choose only when protecting balanced or alternating-polarity signals; not interchangeable in unidirectional DC rails. |
Compared with SMBJ11AHM3_B/H, the HE3 variant lacks halogen-free and automotive qualification, while the CAHM3 variant provides bidirectional clamping at identical voltage thresholds-making each suitable only for their respective polarity and compliance requirements.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ11AHM3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ11AHM3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 18.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 33 A using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and guarantees consistent overvoltage limiting behavior across production lots and temperature ranges from –55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SMBJ11AHM3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ11AHM3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and specifically designated for automotive use with ordering code suffix HM3_X. Its halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction, MSL Level 1 rating, and validated performance across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature make it appropriate for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor protection in production vehicles.
How does SMBJ11AHM3_B/H differ from SMBJ11AHE3_B/H?
SMBJ11AHM3_B/H is halogen-free and AEC-Q101 qualified, whereas SMBJ11AHE3_B/H is RoHS-compliant but contains halogens and lacks automotive qualification. Both share identical electrical parameters (VWM = 11 V, VC = 18.2 V), but only SMBJ11AHM3_B/H meets automotive OEM material and reliability requirements.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ11AHM3_B/H from junction to ambient?
The typical thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA) for SMBJ11AHM3_B/H is 100 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended pad layout (0.2" × 0.2" copper pads). This value assumes natural convection and informs thermal design margins for sustained power dissipation up to 5.0 W at 50 °C ambient.
Can SMBJ11AHM3_B/H be used in bidirectional signal protection?
No, SMBJ11AHM3_B/H is a unidirectional TVS diode and must not be used for bidirectional signal lines such as RS-485 or CAN. For those applications, the bidirectional variant SMBJ11CAHM3_B/H is specified with identical voltage ratings but symmetrical clamping in both polarities and no polarity marking.
