Product details
Overview
SMBJ24AHE3/5B 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 24 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 26.7–29.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 38.9 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 15.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ24AHE3/5B datasheet, SMBJ24AHE3/5B pinout, SMBJ24AHE3/5B application, or SMBJ24AHE3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, activated when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold (VBR). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and fast response time (<1.0 ps), enabling protection against ESD and inductive switching spikes in DC power rails and low-speed signal paths.
The device is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and derates linearly above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2. With 20 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, it supports reflow soldering at peak 260 °C without preconditioning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 24 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC bias margin for protected circuitry. |
| VBR (min/max) | 26.7 V / 29.5 V at IT = 1 mA - Breakdown onset range; ensures reliable triggering across process variation and temperature. |
| VC @ IPPM | 38.9 V at 15.4 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines worst-case overvoltage seen by downstream ICs. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; validates robustness against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV line-earth). |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - Reverse leakage at stand-off voltage; critical for low-power sensor and battery-backed circuits. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive and industrial enclosures. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads; informs PCB thermal design requirements. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile case with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Cathode indicated by band marking; anode is unmarked end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when VREV > VBR. |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference node | Typically tied to system ground or lower-potential rail; completes clamping path during overvoltage events. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per stress test plan. |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Supports repeated surge immunity per IEC 61000-4-5 without degradation; suitable for 24 V industrial bus protection. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Enables tight clamping (VC/VBR ratio = 1.46) and minimal overshoot during fast transients like relay coil flyback. |
| MSL Level 1, 260 °C peak reflow | Eliminates need for moisture preconditioning; compatible with standard lead-free SMT assembly processes. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR and low leakage over lifetime; prevents parametric drift in humid or high-bias environments. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24AHM3/5B | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant variant with identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification. | No functional difference; selected where halogen-free material compliance is mandated (e.g., EU public infrastructure projects). | Direct substitution if halogen-free requirement applies; same footprint, thermal, and clamping behavior. |
| SMAJ24AHE3/A | Lower 400 W PPPM rating, SMA (DO-214AC) package, 130 °C TJ max., non-AEC-Q101. | Limited to commercial-grade consumer or non-safety-critical industrial use; insufficient for automotive or harsh-environment deployment. | Only acceptable where cost is prioritized over surge margin and automotive qualification is not required. |
Compared with SMBJ24AHE3/5B, the HM3/5B alternative adds halogen-free compliance without trade-offs, while the SMAJ24AHE3/A reduces surge capability and reliability grade-making SMBJ24AHE3/5B the optimal choice for AEC-Q101–mandated designs requiring full 600 W immunity.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ24AHE3/5B under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMBJ24AHE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 15.4 A using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in the Vishay datasheet 88392 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events.
Is SMBJ24AHE3/5B qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ24AHE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HE3" suffix and footnote (1) in the Vishay datasheet 88392. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and ESD robustness, making SMBJ24AHE3/5B suitable for under-hood and body-control module deployments.
What does the "5B" in SMBJ24AHE3/5B indicate?
The "5B" denotes the packaging configuration: 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 3200 units per reel. This format supports high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly and is distinct from the "52" code (7-inch reel, 750 units) used in lower-volume or prototyping scenarios.
How does SMBJ24AHE3/5B differ from bidirectional variants like SMBJ24CA?
SMBJ24AHE3/5B is unidirectional and conducts only in reverse bias, with polarity marked by a cathode band. In contrast, SMBJ24CA is bidirectional, symmetrical in both directions, and lacks polarity marking. The unidirectional SMBJ24AHE3/5B provides tighter leakage control (<1.0 µA) and is preferred for DC power rail protection, whereas bidirectional types suit AC or differential signal lines.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SMBJ24AHE3/5B?
The typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of SMBJ24AHE3/5B is 100 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, as specified in the Thermal Characteristics table of datasheet 88392. This value guides PCB layout decisions for sustained power dissipation up to 5.0 W.
