Product details
Overview
SMBJ14D-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 14 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 15.8–17.0 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 22.9 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 26.2 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ14D-M3/H datasheet, SMBJ14D-M3/H pinout, SMBJ14D-M3/H application, or SMBJ14D-M3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, ±3.5 % VBR tolerance, low leakage (<0.5 μA at VWM), MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction per JESD 201 Class 2 whisker test.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, triggering when reverse voltage exceeds VBR to divert surge current away from sensitive components. Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time ensure effective suppression of ESD, lightning-induced surges, and inductive switching transients.
The SMBJ14D-M3/H is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature, with thermal resistance RθJA = 125 °C/W (on minimum pad layout) and RθJM = 20 °C/W, enabling reliable operation under repetitive surge conditions up to 0.01 % duty cycle when mounted per recommended PCB pad dimensions (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper area).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 14 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR min/max | 15.8 V / 17.0 V at 1 mA - tight ±3.5 % tolerance ensures predictable turn-on threshold |
| VC @ IPPM | 22.9 V at 26.2 A - clamping voltage limits stress on downstream components during surge |
| PPPM | 600 W with 10/1000 μs waveform - defines energy-handling capability for transient events |
| ID @ VWM | <0.5 μA - minimal leakage preserves signal integrity and system efficiency |
| TJ max | +150 °C - supports operation in high-temperature industrial environments |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and IPC-7351B standards |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ14A-M3/H | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs but A-suffix denotes standard-grade (non-industrial) qualification | Lacks JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing and M3 industrial reliability screening | Select SMBJ14D-M3/H for extended temperature cycling and long-life industrial deployments |
| SMCJ14A | Higher 1500 W PPPM rating, larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same 14 V VWM | Requires larger PCB footprint and higher thermal mass; suited for higher-energy surges | Choose SMBJ14D-M3/H where space-constrained SMB layout and 600 W capability meet system-level surge requirements |
Compared with SMBJ14A-M3/H, the SMBJ14D-M3/H provides verified industrial-grade reliability; compared with SMCJ14A, it delivers identical clamping performance in 40 % less board area while maintaining full 600 W surge handling for typical IEC 61000-4-4/5 compliance.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of SMBJ14D-M3/H?
The SMBJ14D-M3/H has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 15.8 V to 17.0 V at 1 mA test current, reflecting its tight ±3.5 % tolerance. This narrow window ensures repeatable clamping onset across production lots and temperature ranges, making SMBJ14D-M3/H suitable for designs where overvoltage margin must be tightly controlled without excessive derating.
Does SMBJ14D-M3/H support bidirectional transient suppression?
No, SMBJ14D-M3/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "D" suffix (not "CD"). It protects against positive transients on the cathode side relative to anode (ground). For bidirectional protection - such as AC lines or differential buses - a part with "CD" suffix like SMBJ14CD-M3/H would be required, as confirmed in Vishay's ordering matrix and electrical characteristics table.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ14D-M3/H at rated surge current?
The SMBJ14D-M3/H exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 22.9 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 26.2 A, measured using the standardized 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform. This VC value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events, directly influencing downstream component voltage ratings and system-level immunity margins.
Is SMBJ14D-M3/H compliant with lead-free and RoHS requirements?
Yes, SMBJ14D-M3/H carries the "M3" suffix, which explicitly denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and matte tin-plated leads qualified to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. It also passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing, confirming suitability for high-reliability industrial applications where intermetallic growth could compromise long-term solder joint integrity.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ14D-M3/H under standard mounting conditions?
SMBJ14D-M3/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 125 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended PCB pad layout, and 100 °C/W on a 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad area. Its junction-to-mount (RθJM) is 20 °C/W, supporting thermal management in compact layouts where heatsinking is limited - critical for sustained operation near its 150 °C maximum junction temperature.
