Product details
Overview
SMBJ14AHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping inductive switching transients and ESD events on power and signal lines. It features a 14 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 23.2 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 25.9 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), commonly deployed to protect MOSFET gates, microcontroller I/O, and sensor interfaces in industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ14AHE3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ14AHE3_B/H pinout, SMBJ14AHE3_B/H application, or SMBJ14AHE3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification status, low 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at VWM, 15.6–17.2 V breakdown voltage range (VBR), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on standard PCB pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-band polarity marking, 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 operation in ambient environments up to +85 °C when mounted per recommended 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad layout.
The SMBJ14AHE3_B/H delivers fast response time (<1 ns), low incremental surge resistance, and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with peak reflow tolerance of 260 °C. Its 600 W peak pulse rating applies only under defined 10/1000 µs waveform conditions and derates linearly above TA = 25 °C per Fig. 2 in the datasheet.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 14 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; defines operating margin below clamping threshold. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 15.6–17.2 V at 1.0 mA - Guaranteed avalanche initiation range; ensures reliable turn-on during overvoltage events. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 23.2 V at IPPM = 25.9 A - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs surge; determines stress on downstream components. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Surge energy handling capability under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform; defines transient robustness class. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | 1.0 µA max at VWM - Low leakage preserves signal integrity and minimizes standby power loss in high-impedance circuits. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; sets thermal design limits for PCB copper area and airflow. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Surface-mount outline with 0.220" x 0.155" footprint; compatible with JEDEC-standard pick-and-place equipment. |
Pinout & Package
SMBJ14AHE3_B/H uses the SMB (DO-214AA) package: a molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, 0.220" × 0.155" body size, and cathode band marking on the anode side. Leads are solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and meet JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or lowest potential node; forms current path during reverse-biased clamping. |
| Cathode | High-side surge input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail or sensor output); carries full surge current into ground via anode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ14AHM3_B/H | Halogen-free molding compound; identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification. | No functional difference; selected where halogen-free compliance is mandated by OEM or regional regulations. | Choose SMBJ14AHM3_B/H when environmental compliance requires halogen-free materials without sacrificing performance. |
| SMBJ14A-E3/52 | Commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), same SMB package and VWM/VC specs; RoHS-compliant but not automotive-qualified. | Suitable for non-automotive industrial or consumer applications where AEC-Q101 is not required. | Select SMBJ14A-E3/52 for cost-sensitive designs outside automotive or mission-critical systems. |
Compared with SMBJ14AHE3_B/H, the HM3 variant offers identical surge performance with halogen-free construction, while the E3/52 version provides equivalent clamping and footprint at lower qualification cost-enabling tiered sourcing based on end-equipment reliability requirements.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ14AHE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ14AHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 23.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 25.9 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C with specified mounting conditions (0.2" × 0.2" copper pads), and represents the highest voltage the protected circuit will experience during such a transient event. The SMBJ14AHE3_B/H maintains this clamping performance across its qualified temperature range.
Is SMBJ14AHE3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ14AHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, making it suitable for automotive applications including body control modules, lighting drivers, and power distribution units. Its qualification covers stress tests such as high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and surge endurance-ensuring reliability in vehicle environments. The HE3 suffix explicitly denotes this automotive-grade qualification, distinguishing it from commercial variants like SMBJ14A-E3/52.
What does the "HE3" suffix mean in SMBJ14AHE3_B/H?
The "HE3" suffix in SMBJ14AHE3_B/H indicates RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. "H" denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, "E3" confirms RoHS compliance and commercial-grade reliability level. The "_B/H" ending specifies packaging: "B" refers to the revision code, and "H" identifies the 7" tape-and-reel delivery mode with 750 units per reel. This full suffix ensures traceability to both process qualification and logistics configuration.
How does SMBJ14AHE3_B/H differ from bidirectional SMBJ14CA variants?
SMBJ14AHE3_B/H is unidirectional, with polarity marked by a cathode band and intended for DC-line protection where reverse conduction must be blocked. In contrast, SMBJ14CA is bidirectional, offering symmetrical clamping for AC lines or differential signal pairs. Their VWM (14 V vs. 14 V), VC (23.2 V vs. 23.2 V), and PPPM (600 W) are identical, but SMBJ14AHE3_B/H cannot replace SMBJ14CA in AC-coupled applications without circuit redesign due to its inherent polarity dependence.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SMBJ14AHE3_B/H at its stand-off voltage?
The maximum reverse leakage current (ID) for SMBJ14AHE3_B/H is 1.0 µA at its stand-off voltage (VWM) of 14 V and TA = 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss and signal distortion in high-impedance monitoring circuits or battery-powered systems. Leakage remains within specification up to TJ = 125 °C, though it increases exponentially beyond that point per the device's thermal coefficient profile.
