Product details
Overview
SMBJ24AHE3_A/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 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 in automotive power rail protection and industrial sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ24AHE3_A/H datasheet, SMBJ24AHE3_A/H pinout, SMBJ24AHE3_A/H application, or SMBJ24AHE3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C max junction temperature, low incremental surge resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device in series with DC power inputs or parallel to sensitive IC pins. Its glass-passivated junction enables fast response (<1 ns), low leakage (<1.0 µA at 24 V), and stable clamping under repetitive 10/1000 µs surges at 0.01% duty cycle.
The SMBJ24AHE3_A/H is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine), exhibits +0.096 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. Its thermal resistance is 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead).
Key Specifications

| VBR min/max | 26.7 V / 29.5 V at 1 mA - Breakdown onset range; ensures reliable triggering above VWM with margin against tolerance drift. |
| VC @ IPPM | 38.9 V at 15.4 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines max stress imposed on downstream ICs. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; supports robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - Reverse leakage at rated stand-off; minimizes quiescent power loss and avoids false triggering. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Standardized surface-mount outline with 0.205" × 0.130" footprint; compatible with JEDEC-compliant pick-and-place and reflow. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads; cathode indicated by band marking on one end; terminals solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point in forward conduction mode | Connected to ground or lower-potential node in unidirectional TVS configuration; enables clamping when cathode-side voltage exceeds VBR. |
| Cathode | Current exit point in forward conduction mode; marked with band | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V supply rail); reverse-biased during normal operation; conducts surge current to ground when transient exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and surge endurance - suitable for engine control units and ADAS power supplies. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24AHM3_A/H | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant variant with identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; same SMB package and pinout. | 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; no layout or qualification changes needed. |
| SMCJ24AHE3_A/H | Same VWM/VBR/VC ratings but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; 1500 W PPPM rating; higher thermal mass and RθJA = 35 °C/W. | Used where higher surge energy absorption or improved thermal dissipation is needed - e.g., primary-side AC/DC input protection. | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB footprint change; select only when 600 W is insufficient and board space allows larger package. |
Compared with SMBJ24AHM3_A/H, SMBJ24AHE3_A/H offers identical protection performance with standard RoHS compliance but excludes halogen-free certification; compared with SMCJ24AHE3_A/H, it provides compact size and lower cost for moderate-surge applications where 600 W suffices and space is constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ24AHE3_A/H under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMBJ24AHE3_A/H 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 ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The SMBJ24AHE3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range and after repeated surge exposures.
Is SMBJ24AHE3_A/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ24AHE3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designated for automotive use with ordering code suffix "HE3". It undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and surge endurance per automotive reliability standards. The SMBJ24AHE3_A/H is deployed in engine control modules, body electronics, and ADAS power supplies where 24 V rail protection against load dump and jump-start transients is required.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in SMBJ24AHE3_A/H?
The "HE3" suffix in SMBJ24AHE3_A/H denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this variant from commercial-grade "E3" parts and halogen-free "HM3" versions. The "H" confirms automotive qualification, while "E3" specifies lead-free matte tin plating and compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The "_A/H" revision code indicates the specific manufacturing lot and packaging configuration (7" tape and reel, 750 units).
How does SMBJ24AHE3_A/H differ from bidirectional variants like SMBJ24CA?
The SMBJ24AHE3_A/H is unidirectional, meaning it conducts only when the cathode is positive relative to the anode - ideal for DC rail protection. In contrast, SMBJ24CA is bidirectional and symmetrical, conducting in both polarities, making it suitable for AC lines or data bus protection. The SMBJ24AHE3_A/H has a defined cathode band for polarity identification, whereas SMBJ24CA has no marking. Their VBR and VC values differ due to internal structure, and they are not interchangeable without circuit redesign.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ24AHE3_A/H, and how does it affect layout?
The SMBJ24AHE3_A/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, and 20 °C/W junction-to-lead (RθJL). To maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C under 5.0 W steady-state dissipation, PCB layout must provide adequate copper area and minimize trace length to ground planes. Derating is required above TA = 25 °C per Figure 2 in the datasheet. The SMBJ24AHE3_A/H's thermal performance directly impacts sustained surge repetition rate and long-term reliability.
