Product details
Overview
SMBJ11D-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, with 11 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 12.4–13.3 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 17.9 V clamping voltage (VC) at 33.5 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating (10/1000 μs waveform). It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients and ESD in industrial and telecom power interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ11D-M3/H datasheet, SMBJ11D-M3/H pinout, SMBJ11D-M3/H application, or SMBJ11D-M3/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, clamping performance under surge, polarity marking convention, and RoHS-compliant M3-grade packaging for production-grade ESD protection design-in.
Technical Context
The SMBJ11D-M3/H operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 12.4–13.3 V breakdown threshold, clamping transients to ≤17.9 V at 33.5 A. Its low 1.0 W power dissipation at 25 °C ambient and 5.0 W at 50 °C case temperature reflects thermal limits defined by junction-to-ambient resistance (125 °C/W) and junction-to-mount resistance (20 °C/W).
Designed for automated SMT placement, it features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (peak reflow 260 °C), and carries halogen-free, RoHS-compliant M3 suffix with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Polarity is marked by a cathode band on the device body.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ11A-M3/H | Same VWM (11 V), but bidirectional; symmetric clamping in both polarities | Required where AC-coupled or dual-polarity signal lines need protection (e.g., RS-485, CAN) | Select SMBJ11A-M3/H only if bidirectional clamping is explicitly required; SMBJ11D-M3/H is optimal for DC rail protection. |
| P6SMB11AHE3/TR13 | Same SMB package, 11 V VWM, but Vishay P6SMB series has higher 600 W PPPM and tighter 5 % VBR tolerance (vs. ±3.5 %) | Identical use cases but slightly relaxed VBR consistency; suitable for cost-sensitive volume designs | Choose P6SMB11AHE3/TR13 when VBR tolerance margin is acceptable and supply chain diversification is prioritized. |
Compared with SMBJ11A-M3/H, the SMBJ11D-M3/H offers superior unidirectional clamping precision and lower leakage, making it preferred for DC power rail protection; versus P6SMB11AHE3/TR13, it delivers tighter VBR control and M3-grade whisker resistance, critical for long-life industrial deployments.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of SMBJ11D-M3/H at 1 mA test current?
The SMBJ11D-M3/H has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 12.4 V to 13.3 V at 1 mA test current, reflecting a tight ±3.5 % tolerance. This specification is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and ensures consistent turn-on behavior across production units. The SMBJ11D-M3/H maintains this VBR window under controlled thermal conditions and is validated using the 10/1000 μs surge waveform protocol specified in the Vishay datasheet 87606.
How does SMBJ11D-M3/H perform under repeated surge stress?
The SMBJ11D-M3/H supports repetitive surge events at a 0.01 % duty cycle, meaning it can handle one 10/1000 μs pulse every 10 seconds indefinitely without degradation-provided junction temperature remains within −55 °C to +150 °C. Its 600 W peak pulse power rating applies under this condition, and thermal derating curves (Fig. 2 in datasheet 87606) define safe operation above 25 °C ambient. The SMBJ11D-M3/H achieves this via low incremental surge resistance and optimized silicon geometry.
Is SMBJ11D-M3/H compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, SMBJ11D-M3/H is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering, meeting MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C. Its matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 for solderability, and the M3 suffix confirms JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The SMBJ11D-M3/H has been qualified for standard 240–260 °C reflow profiles used in high-reliability industrial PCB assembly.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ11D-M3/H during a 33.5 A transient?
The SMBJ11D-M3/H exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 17.9 V when subjected to its rated 33.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at the device terminals and represents the worst-case overvoltage seen by downstream circuitry. The SMBJ11D-M3/H achieves this low VC through low dynamic impedance and optimized avalanche structure, ensuring protection of 3.3 V and 5 V logic interfaces.
Does SMBJ11D-M3/H have polarity marking, and how is it oriented in circuit?
Yes, SMBJ11D-M3/H uses a molded cathode band to indicate polarity: the banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the line being protected (e.g., VCC or signal), while the unmarked end is the anode and connects to ground or return. This orientation enables unidirectional clamping-conducting only during positive transients on the protected line. The SMBJ11D-M3/H's polarity marking is visible under standard optical inspection and aligns with IPC-A-610 acceptance criteria for SMT diodes.
