Product details
Overview
SMBJ24CD-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, with 24 V standoff voltage (VWM), 27.1–29.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR at 1 mA), 38.4 V clamping voltage (VC) at 15.6 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating for 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs and signal lines in industrial sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ24CD-M3/H datasheet, SMBJ24CD-M3/H pinout, SMBJ24CD-M3/H application, or SMBJ24CD-M3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional polarity, ±3.5 % VBR tolerance, low leakage (<0.5 μA at VWM), MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant M3-grade construction.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, delivering identical clamping behavior during positive and negative transients. Its silicon avalanche structure enables sub-nanosecond response time and low dynamic impedance, ensuring effective suppression of fast-rising ESD and surge events per IEC 61000-4-2 and IEC 61000-4-5.
The device is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and derates linearly above 25 °C ambient, with thermal resistance RθJA = 125 °C/W on minimum pad layout. It meets UL 497B recognition (QVGQ2) and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 24 V - maximum reverse working voltage before conduction begins; defines safe operating margin below clamping threshold |
| VBR min/max | 27.1 V / 29.1 V at 1 mA - tight ±3.5 % tolerance ensures predictable turn-on across production lots |
| VC @ IPPM | 38.4 V at 15.6 A - clamping voltage limits transient energy delivered to protected circuitry |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling for 10/1000 μs waveform supports industrial-level surge immunity |
| ID @ VWM | <0.5 μA - ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity and battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - standardized surface-mount outline enabling automated placement and IPC-compliant reflow |
| MSL Level | Level 1 (J-STD-020) - no floor life limitation; supports standard SMT assembly without dry pack or baking |
Pinout & Package
Two-terminal bidirectional device in SMB (DO-214AA) package; no polarity marking band. Terminals are matte tin-plated leads, solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102. Mounting pad layout per Vishay recommended 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Transient conduction path | Identical avalanche behavior in both directions; connects across protected line and ground or differential pair |
| Cathode/Anode (symmetrical) | Transient conduction path | No functional distinction; terminals interchangeable due to bidirectional architecture |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| 600 W peak pulse power | Supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV) surge protection on 50 Ω source impedance lines |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes VC overshoot during high-di/dt events, improving protection fidelity for fast transients |
| M3 suffix construction | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and JESD201 Class 2 whisker-resistant - qualified for industrial-grade reliability |
| UL 497B recognized (QVGQ2) | Validated for telecom and industrial interface protection per safety-critical surge protector standards |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Interface | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog output lines (e.g., 4–20 mA current loop) from load dump and relay coil flyback in factory automation systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping element placed between signal line and chassis ground to shunt transient energy before it reaches ADC or op-amp input stage. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or permanent damage to precision analog front-ends while maintaining <0.5 μA leakage at 24 V nominal rail. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding LIN bus transceiver I/O pins against battery reversal and alternator load dump in door module ECUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary surge suppressor on LIN data line, operating symmetrically to handle both positive and negative polarity transients. Use Value: Clamps to 38.4 V within nanoseconds, limiting stress on transceiver ESD structures and preserving communication integrity during 12 V system faults. |
| Telecom Power Input Stage | Consumer Appliance Motor Drive |
Use Scenario: Front-end protection on 24 V DC input of PoE-powered network equipment exposed to lightning-induced surges on building wiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line defense in DC input filter stage, absorbing up to 600 W surge energy before downstream DC-DC converter. Use Value: Enables compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Ed. 3 surge immunity requirements without requiring oversized bulk capacitance or additional stages. | Use Scenario: Suppressing commutation spikes from brushed DC motors in smart home appliances (e.g., vacuum cleaners, blenders). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Across-motor terminals to clamp inductive kickback, preventing radiated emissions and MOSFET drain-source overvoltage. Use Value: Limits VDS stress on 30 V-rated power MOSFETs to ≤38.4 V, eliminating need for higher-voltage (and higher-RDS(on)) devices. |
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 (Vishay) | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs but non-M3 grade; lacks JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and halogen-free certification | Approved for commercial-grade designs only; not qualified for extended-temperature industrial deployments | Select SMBJ24CD-M3/H when long-term reliability under thermal cycling and humid environments is required |
| SMCJ24CA (Littelfuse) | Same bidirectional function but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; 1500 W PPPM, higher VC (43.5 V), and higher leakage (1.0 μA) | Used where higher surge margin is needed but PCB space allows larger footprint and thermal mass | Choose SMBJ24CD-M3/H for space-constrained layouts needing SMB footprint and tighter VBR tolerance |
Compared with SMBJ24CA-E3/52 and SMCJ24CA, SMBJ24CD-M3/H delivers tighter VBR tolerance, lower leakage, and industrial-grade M3 construction in the smallest standardized SMB package - making it optimal for high-density, long-lifecycle embedded sensor and control applications.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMBJ24CD-M3/H?
SMBJ24CD-M3/H is a bidirectional TVS diode, meaning it provides symmetrical clamping for both positive- and negative-polarity transients. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., SMBJ24D), it has no cathode band marking and functions identically regardless of terminal orientation in the circuit - essential for protecting AC-coupled or differential signal paths.
Does SMBJ24CD-M3/H meet UL safety recognition?
Yes, SMBJ24CD-M3/H is UL Recognized under file E136766 for both unidirectional and bidirectional configurations, compliant with UL 497B for signal and power line protectors. This certification validates its suitability in safety-critical telecom, industrial, and building automation applications where third-party safety approval is mandatory.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ24CD-M3/H at rated surge current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of SMBJ24CD-M3/H is 38.4 V at 15.6 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 μs waveform conditions. This value is guaranteed across temperature and lot variations, ensuring protected ICs experience no more than 38.4 V during worst-case surge events.
How does the M3 suffix affect SMBJ24CD-M3/H's reliability?
The M3 suffix on SMBJ24CD-M3/H indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and industrial-grade qualification. This ensures long-term interconnect reliability under thermal cycling and humidity exposure - unlike standard-grade variants that may degrade in extended-life embedded systems.
Can SMBJ24CD-M3/H be used in place of a unidirectional TVS like SMBJ24D?
No - SMBJ24CD-M3/H is strictly bidirectional and must not replace unidirectional devices such as SMBJ24D in DC-biased circuits (e.g., single-supply power rails), as it will conduct during normal reverse bias. Use SMBJ24CD-M3/H only where symmetrical transient protection is required, such as across differential lines or AC-coupled signals.
