Product details
Overview
SMBJ130AHE3_A/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 130 V standoff voltage (VWM), 144–159 V breakdown range (VBR at 1 mA), 209 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 2.9 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in industrial motor drives to safeguard IGBT gate drivers against switching-induced transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ130AHE3_A/I datasheet, SMBJ130AHE3_A/I pinout, SMBJ130AHE3_A/I application, or SMBJ130AHE3_A/I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, AEC-Q101 qualification status, SMB (DO-214AA) package details, clamping performance data, and direct alternative part comparisons - all aligned with Vishay Document #88392 (Rev. 09-Jan-2024).
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device: reverse-biased during normal operation, it remains high-impedance until transient voltage exceeds VBR, then rapidly switches to low-impedance conduction to limit voltage across protected circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM).
Designed for automated SMT assembly, it meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (peak reflow 260 °C), supports 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (IFSM), and exhibits a +0.108 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR - enabling predictable clamping behavior across -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 130 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before significant leakage; defines upper limit of normal operating rail. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 144–159 V at 1 mA - Confirmed minimum/maximum threshold where clamping initiates; tight tolerance enables precise protection margin. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 209 V at IPPM = 2.9 A (10/1000 µs) - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case transient; critical for MOSFET/IC voltage rating selection. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Sustained energy absorption capability under standardized surge waveform; validates suitability for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3/4 surges. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | ≤1.0 µA at VWM - Negligible standby current draw; avoids loading sensitive reference or bias networks. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Enables use in under-hood automotive modules and high-temperature industrial enclosures without derating. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD; ordering suffix HE3 denotes qualification. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile plastic case with matte tin-plated leads. Cathode indicated by band on body; anode is unmarked end. Meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when V > VBR. |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference node / ground return | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return path; completes clamping loop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables single-device protection against high-energy transients common in 48 V industrial power systems and motor drive snubbers. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified (HE3 suffix) | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and battery management systems requiring extended lifetime reliability. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients (e.g., ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a), improving protection fidelity. |
| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Allows unlimited floor life and standard reflow profiles up to 260 °C - eliminates baking requirements and streamlines manufacturing. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR over time and temperature, reduces parameter drift in harsh environments like factory automation. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Automotive Body Control Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of gate driver ICs and bootstrap FETs against inductive kickback from BLDC motor phase switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamping element placed between gate and source, limiting voltage spikes to safe levels during turn-off.

Use Scenario: DC-link voltage rail protection in solar string inverters exposed to grid-switching transients and PV array arcing events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS across 600–1000 V DC bus to absorb fast-rising edge transients before they reach power stage capacitors. Use Value: 150 °C max junction temperature allows direct mounting near heatsinks; 0.108 %/°C VBR drift ensures stable clamping across desert ambient conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130AHM3_A/I | 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 environmental policy. | Direct drop-in replacement where halogen-free bill-of-materials is required. |
| SMCJ130AHE3_A/I | Same VWM/VBR/VC ratings but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; 1500 W PPPM rating vs. 600 W. | Higher power handling suits applications with repeated surges or longer duration transients (e.g., utility meter surge testing). | Choose when higher surge endurance is needed and PCB layout allows larger footprint; not pin-compatible due to different pad layout. |
Compared with SMBJ130AHE3_A/I, the HM3 variant offers identical protection performance with halogen-free construction, while the SMCJ130AHE3_A/I provides 2.5× higher pulse power in a physically incompatible package - making the former a seamless compliance upgrade and the latter a performance-tier option requiring board redesign.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ130AHE3_A/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ130AHE3_A/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 209 V when subjected to its specified peak pulse current of 2.9 A under the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay Document #88392 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events - critical for ensuring compatibility with downstream 250 V-rated components.
Is SMBJ130AHE3_A/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ130AHE3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HE3" suffix and Vishay's documentation (Rev. 09-Jan-2024). It undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and mechanical shock - making it appropriate for under-hood and cabin modules such as body control units and ADAS power supplies where reliability under thermal and vibration stress is essential.
What does the "A/I" suffix mean in SMBJ130AHE3_A/I?
The "A/I" suffix in SMBJ130AHE3_A/I indicates packaging configuration: "A" denotes the revision code (per Vishay's ordering nomenclature), and "I" specifies 13-inch diameter tape-and-reel delivery containing 3200 units. This matches the preferred package code "I" listed in the Ordering Information table on page 3 of Document #88392.
How does SMBJ130AHE3_A/I differ from bidirectional variants like SMBJ130CA?
SMBJ130AHE3_A/I is unidirectional, with polarity marked by a cathode band and intended for DC rail protection where reverse conduction must be blocked. In contrast, SMBJ130CA is bidirectional - symmetrical clamping in both directions - used in AC-coupled signal lines or differential buses. Electrical parameters like VBR and VC differ slightly; SMBJ130AHE3_A/I cannot substitute for SMBJ130CA without circuit redesign.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ130AHE3_A/I, and how does it affect layout?
SMBJ130AHE3_A/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal. This value assumes minimal PCB copper; designers must allocate adequate thermal pad area and consider RθJL (20 °C/W) for solder joint heat transfer. Exceeding 150 °C junction temperature risks parametric shift or failure - especially under repetitive surge conditions.
