Product details
Overview
SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features 24 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 38.9 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 15.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed in industrial sensor interfaces and automotive ECUs for ESD and load-dump protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H pinout, SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H application, or SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H equivalent, this device is evaluated for bidirectional surge suppression in 24 V rail systems, reverse polarity tolerance, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and thermal derating above 25 °C ambient.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, with breakdown voltage (VBR) ranging from 26.7 V to 29.5 V at 1 mA test current. Its low incremental surge resistance ensures stable clamping under repetitive 10/1000 μs transients up to 0.01% duty cycle.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads, it delivers 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) and supports operating junction temperatures from –55 °C to +150 °C. The device meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 24 V - Maximum continuous reverse stand-off voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin for 24 V nominal systems. |
| VBR min/max | 26.7 V / 29.5 V at 1 mA - Confirmed bidirectional breakdown range; ensures reliable triggering across manufacturing lot variation. |
| VC @ IPPM | 38.9 V at 15.4 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 μs surge; limits downstream IC stress below 40 V threshold. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling with standard 10/1000 μs waveform; supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity. |
| ID @ VWM | 1.0 μA - Reverse leakage at rated stand-off voltage; negligible power loss in always-on protection circuits. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables deployment in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial enclosures. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Standardized 2-pin SMD outline with 5.59 mm length, 4.06 mm width, and 2.20 mm height; compatible with automated pick-and-place. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24CA-E3/52 | Same electrical specs and SMB package; RoHS-compliant commercial grade (non-AEC-Q101 qualified); 750-unit tape-and-reel delivery. | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements and lifecycle traceability is not required. |
| SMCJ24CAHE3_A/H | Higher power rating (1500 W PPPM), larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; identical VWM, VBR, and VC specs; also AEC-Q101 qualified. | Used where higher surge repetition rate or longer pulse duration (e.g., ISO 16750-2) demands greater energy absorption. | Choose when system-level testing reveals marginal margin with SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H under repeated surge stress. |
Compared with SMBJ24CA-E3/52, SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H adds AEC-Q101 qualification and tighter process controls for automotive use; compared with SMCJ24CAHE3_A/H, it trades 2.5× lower surge energy capacity for 30% smaller PCB footprint and lower parasitic inductance - critical for fast-rising transients.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V at 15.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across temperature and process variation per Vishay's datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024, Document Number 88392. The SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H maintains this clamping performance in bidirectional operation, making it suitable for protecting 24 V systems where downstream components tolerate up to 40 V transient overvoltage.
Is SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HE3" and documentation in the SMBJ5.0A–SMBJ188A datasheet. It undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and surge endurance specific to automotive under-hood and cabin environments. The SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H is approved for use in engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS sensor interfaces where automotive-grade reliability is mandatory.
What is the difference between SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H and SMBJ24CA-E3/52?
SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H and SMBJ24CA-E3/52 share identical electrical parameters (VWM = 24 V, VC = 38.9 V, PPPM = 600 W) and SMB package, but differ in qualification and packaging: SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and shipped in 7″ tape-and-reel (750 units), while SMBJ24CA-E3/52 is commercial-grade only and uses the same reel format. The SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H includes enhanced traceability and extended temperature validation required for automotive PPAP submissions.
Does SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H have polarity markings on the package?
No, SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H does not have polarity markings because it is a bidirectional TVS diode. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., SMBJ24A), the SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H exhibits symmetrical breakdown behavior - either terminal functions as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity. The device body is unmarked, and orientation during PCB placement has no electrical impact on clamping performance.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H, and how does it affect layout design?
The SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on minimum recommended 0.2″ × 0.2″ (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes no additional heatsinking; for sustained surge duty cycles or elevated ambient temperatures, increasing copper area or adding thermal vias reduces effective RθJA. Layouts using the SMBJ24CAHE3_B/H must follow Vishay's pad dimensions in Document 88392 to ensure rated PPPM and avoid thermal runaway during repetitive transients.
