Product details
Overview
SMBJ24AHE3_B/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping fast-rising ESD and surge 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, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive sensor interfaces, industrial I/O protection, and DC power rail conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ24AHE3_B/I datasheet, SMBJ24AHE3_B/I pinout, SMBJ24AHE3_B/I application, or SMBJ24AHE3_B/I equivalent, this AEC-Q101 qualified TVS offers verified surge immunity for 12 V/24 V automotive subsystems, robust reverse leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), low thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W), and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads suitable for automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal bias it presents high impedance (<1.0 µA leakage at 24 V), but triggers into low-impedance conduction when transient voltage exceeds its 26.7 V minimum breakdown threshold. Its junction structure uses glass-passivated silicon to ensure stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and fast response time (<1.0 ns).
Thermally, it sustains 150 °C maximum junction temperature with 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads, and delivers 100 A non-repetitive forward surge capability (8.3 ms half-sine) - enabling reliable protection of MOSFET gates and microcontroller I/O against load dump and inductive switching events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 24 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage begins; sets safe margin below system nominal voltage. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 26.7–29.5 V at 1 mA - Confirmed minimum/maximum clamping initiation range; ensures predictable turn-on across temperature and lot variation. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 38.9 V at 15.4 A (10/1000 µs) - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge; defines actual stress on downstream components. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Sustained energy absorption capability under standardized surge waveform; validates suitability for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a compliance testing. |
| IPPM (Peak Pulse Current) | 15.4 A - Maximum transient current the device safely diverts without degradation; directly tied to PCB trace width and fuse coordination. |
| TJmax | 150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive environments with minimal derating. |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - Low junction-to-lead thermal resistance; supports efficient heat transfer to PCB copper, critical for repetitive surge handling. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile case with cathode band marking. Matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 22-B102 whisker resistance Class 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / Surge return path | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes clamping loop during transient events. |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased terminal / Protected line connection | Connected to the line being protected (e.g., 24 V supply or CAN_H); blocks DC but conducts surges to anode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and surge endurance - required for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS modules. |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Meets ISO 7637-2 Level III/IV and IEC 61000-4-5 Line-to-Line surge requirements without external series impedance. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.4) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on protected ICs - e.g., keeps 3.3 V MCU I/O below 40 V during 15 A transients. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow) | Enables single-pass lead-free reflow without moisture sensitivity concerns - eliminates bake requirements in high-volume SMT lines. |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable leakage and breakdown parameters over 10+ years in humid industrial environments (85 °C/85% RH). |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial PLC Digital Input Card |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24AHM3_B/I | Halogen-free variant with identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; same SMB package and pinout. | No difference in circuit function or layout - selected only where halogen-free compliance is mandated (e.g., EU medical devices). | Choose SMBJ24AHM3_B/I when RoHS + halogen-free certification is required; otherwise SMBJ24AHE3_B/I suffices. |
| SMCJ24AHE3_A/H | Higher-power 1500 W version in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; VWM = 24 V, VC = 39.4 V at 38.9 A. | Used where higher surge repetition rate or longer duration transients (e.g., ISO 16750-2) demand greater energy handling. | Select SMCJ24AHE3_A/H only if test profiles exceed 600 W single-pulse limits; requires PCB footprint change. |
Compared with SMBJ24AHM3_B/I, SMBJ24AHE3_B/I offers identical protection performance with standard RoHS compliance; versus SMCJ24AHE3_A/H, it trades lower surge capacity for compact SMB footprint and tighter board space utilization.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ24AHE3_B/I under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMBJ24AHE3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V at 15.4 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and guarantees the protected circuit will not experience more than 38.9 V during such transients - critical for safeguarding 3.3 V or 5 V logic interfaces connected to 24 V rails. The SMBJ24AHE3_B/I maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range (-55 °C to +150 °C).
Is SMBJ24AHE3_B/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ24AHE3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use. Its construction includes glass-passivated junctions, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility (260 °C peak), and validated performance across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. It meets key automotive surge standards including ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (inductive switch-off) and Pulse 5a (load dump), making it appropriate for BCMs, ADAS sensors, and infotainment power supplies. The "HE3" suffix confirms its AEC-Q101 status.
How does SMBJ24AHE3_B/I differ from bidirectional variants like SMBJ24CA?
SMBJ24AHE3_B/I is unidirectional, with polarity marked by a cathode band and intended for DC line protection (e.g., 24 V supply to ground). In contrast, SMBJ24CA is bidirectional - symmetrical in both directions, no polarity marking, and used for AC or differential signal lines like RS-485 or CAN bus. Their VWM and VC values differ: SMBJ24CA has VWM = 24 V but clamps at ±38.9 V, whereas SMBJ24AHE3_B/I clamps only in reverse bias. Using SMBJ24AHE3_B/I on AC lines would cause forward conduction and failure.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to lead (RθJL) for SMBJ24AHE3_B/I?
The SMBJ24AHE3_B/I has a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 20 °C/W, measured per JEDEC JESD51-14. This low value enables efficient heat transfer from the silicon die to the PCB copper via the leads, supporting repetitive surge handling and sustained power dissipation. When mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads, its RθJA is 100 °C/W - allowing continuous 5.0 W power dissipation at 50 °C ambient. This thermal profile is essential for designs requiring multiple surge events without thermal runaway.
Does SMBJ24AHE3_B/I require a heatsink for standard operation?
No, SMBJ24AHE3_B/I does not require an external heatsink for standard transient suppression duty. Its 5.0 W steady-state power dissipation rating and 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance are specified for mounting on minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads - sufficient for most automotive and industrial applications. Heatsinking becomes relevant only in rare cases involving high-frequency repetitive surges (>1 Hz) or ambient temperatures exceeding 85 °C, where junction temperature must stay below 150 °C. For typical 10/1000 µs single-event protection, PCB copper acts as the primary thermal path.
