Product details
Overview
SMBJ17CD-M3/H from Vishay is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features a 17 V standoff voltage (VWM), 19.2–20.6 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), and clamps to ≤27.2 V at 22.1 A surge current - deployed in sensor interface protection and industrial I/O circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ17CD-M3/H datasheet, SMBJ17CD-M3/H pinout, SMBJ17CD-M3/H application, or SMBJ17CD-M3/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, bidirectional clamping behavior, thermal derating curves, M3 halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction, and direct alternatives with validated VWM/VBR/IPPM alignment for ESD and lightning surge protection design.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon avalanche diode optimized for fast-response transient suppression in both polarity directions. Its bidirectional symmetry enables use without polarity awareness on AC-coupled or differential lines, and its low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.35) ensures tight overvoltage control during 10/1000 μs surges.
Designed per ANSI/IEEE C62.35, it sustains repetitive 0.01% duty cycle pulses up to 600 W, with junction temperature rated from –55 °C to +150 °C. Thermal resistance is 125 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, mounted on minimum pad), and it meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 with 260 °C reflow peak.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 17 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; defines safe working range for protected line. |
| VBR min/max | 19.2 V / 20.6 V at 1 mA - tight ±3.5% tolerance ensures predictable turn-on across production lots. |
| VC @ IPPM | 27.2 V at 22.1 A - clamping voltage under full 600 W surge; determines maximum stress on downstream ICs. |
| PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 μs waveform) - peak transient energy handling capacity for lightning or inductive switch-off events. |
| ID @ VWM | 0.5 μA - ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity and battery life in always-on sensor nodes. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - enables reliable operation in high-temperature industrial enclosures and automotive under-hood environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, M3 grade (JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistant), matte tin-plated leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Cathode Band Absent) | Terminal A | Bidirectional symmetry means no polarity marking; either end connects to line or ground depending on circuit topology. |
| Cathode (Cathode Band Absent) | Terminal B | Identical to Terminal A - device functions identically in both directions; no cathode band per spec for CD suffix parts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±3.5 % VBR tolerance | Enables precise, repeatable clamping thresholds across manufacturing batches - critical for compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity. |
| 600 W peak pulse power | Handles 10/1000 μs surges up to 22.1 A without degradation - suitable for telecom line cards and industrial PLC analog inputs. |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Supports standard SMT reflow (peak 260 °C) without preconditioning - simplifies high-volume assembly and eliminates moisture sensitivity delays. |
| Low 0.5 μA leakage at VWM | Minimizes standby current draw in battery-powered IoT sensors and avoids false triggering in high-impedance measurement paths. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Interface | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 0–10 V analog outputs of pressure/temperature sensors from load dump and ESD in factory automation systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS placed between signal line and chassis ground to clamp transients before they reach ADC input or op-amp buffer. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or permanent damage to precision analog front-ends while maintaining <0.5 μA leakage to avoid offset drift. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding LIN bus transceiver pins against battery reverse connection and jump-start spikes in door module ECUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS connected across LIN data line and ground to absorb 10/1000 μs surges up to ±35 V without affecting 19.2 kbps signaling integrity. Use Value: Ensures robust communication during vehicle service events while meeting ISO 16750-2 pulse 5a/b requirements. |
| Telecom DSL Line Protection | Consumer Appliance Motor Drive Feedback |
Use Scenario: Shielding ADSL splitter ports from induced surges on outdoor copper pairs exposed to lightning-induced common-mode transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS applied differentially across tip/ring lines to suppress mode conversion and protect PHY layer transceivers. Use Value: Maintains signal fidelity below 2.2 MHz by limiting clamping voltage to 27.2 V while surviving repeated 600 W surges. | Use Scenario: Guarding hall-effect rotor position feedback lines in BLDC motor controllers against commutation noise and back-EMF spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS placed at microcontroller GPIO input to shunt fast-rising edge transients (<1 ns rise time) before logic threshold violation. Use Value: Eliminates spurious interrupts and resets caused by motor switching noise, with no impact on 10 kHz PWM timing resolution. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ17CA-E3/52 (Vishay) | Same VWM/VBR/PPPM specs; differs only in packaging (tape-and-reel vs. bulk) and M3 compliance status (not explicitly stated). | No functional difference in circuit performance; intended for same PCB layout and protection function. | Select SMBJ17CD-M3/H when M3 whisker resistance and halogen-free compliance are required for industrial or automotive programs. |
| P6SMB17CA (Littelfuse) | Identical VWM (17 V), VBR (19.2–20.6 V), PPPM (600 W); minor VC variance (27.7 V vs. 27.2 V) due to process differences. | Valid alternative where Littelfuse supply chain preference or dual-sourcing strategy applies; same DO-214AA footprint. | Choose P6SMB17CA if qualifying alternate suppliers is needed - no layout change required, but verify VC margin against downstream IC absolute maximum ratings. |
Compared with SMBJ17CD-M3/H, SMBJ17CA-E3/52 offers identical protection performance but lacks documented M3 qualification, while P6SMB17CA provides functionally equivalent clamping with a 0.5 V higher VC - requiring review of downstream IC's 28 V tolerance margin.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage rating of SMBJ17CD-M3/H?
The SMBJ17CD-M3/H has a maximum reverse standoff voltage (VWM) of 17 V, meaning it remains in high-impedance state up to this DC or RMS voltage level. This value is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 87606, Table "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS", row for SMBJ17CD. Operation above 17 V initiates avalanche conduction to clamp transients.
Is SMBJ17CD-M3/H unidirectional or bidirectional?
SMBJ17CD-M3/H is a bidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "CD" suffix per Vishay's naming convention. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., SMBJ17D), it has no cathode band and conducts symmetrically in both polarities - essential for protecting AC-coupled lines, differential buses, or circuits where polarity cannot be guaranteed.
What is the peak pulse current rating for SMBJ17CD-M3/H?
The SMBJ17CD-M3/H supports a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 22.1 A under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform, derived from its 600 W peak pulse power rating and 27.2 V clamping voltage (VC). This value is explicitly listed in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table of the Vishay datasheet 87606 for SMBJ17CD.
Does SMBJ17CD-M3/H meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, SMBJ17CD-M3/H is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and qualified to JESD 201 Class 2 for whisker resistance, as specified in the "MECHANICAL DATA" section of Vishay document 87606. The "M3" suffix denotes industrial-grade construction meeting these material requirements - critical for automotive and industrial certifications.
What package type does SMBJ17CD-M3/H use?
SMBJ17CD-M3/H uses the SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package, measuring 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm with gull-wing leads. This package is standardized across the SMBJ family and supports automated placement, reflow soldering per J-STD-020 MSL Level 1, and thermal dissipation up to 5.0 W on infinite heatsink.
