Product details
Overview
SMBJ24C-E3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. 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 on power rails and I/O lines in industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ24C-E3/52 datasheet, SMBJ24C-E3/52 pinout, SMBJ24C-E3/52 application, or SMBJ24C-E3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 15.4 A surge, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device: reverse-biased during normal operation (blocking up to 24 V), then avalanche-conducting within nanoseconds when transient voltage exceeds VBR. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low incremental surge resistance.
It delivers 600 W peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 µs waveform at TA = 25 °C, derates linearly above 25 °C per Fig. 2, and supports repetitive surges at 0.01 % duty cycle. Junction temperature range spans –55 °C to +150 °C, with thermal resistance RθJL = 20 °C/W to lead.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 24 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA; defines safe operating margin below clamping threshold. |
| VBR min/max | 26.7 V / 29.5 V at IT = 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensuring reliable turn-on during transients without premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPPM | 38.9 V at 15.4 A - Clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during full-rated 600 W surge; determines downstream component stress. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power dissipation capability with 10/1000 µs waveform; validates suitability for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges. |
| IPPM | 15.4 A - Peak pulse current corresponding to VC = 38.9 V; used to size PCB trace width and verify layout survivability. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; sets thermal design limits for ambient + power dissipation + RθJA = 100 °C/W. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Standardized 2-pin surface-mount outline with cathode band marking; compatible with JEDEC MS-012AC. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24A-E3/52 | Same VWM (24 V), identical VBR and VC specs, but unmarked cathode band per Vishay ordering code convention. | No functional difference; SMBJ24C-E3/52 includes explicit "C" suffix denoting cathode band marking per DO-214AA standard. | Select SMBJ24C-E3/52 when visual polarity verification during manual inspection or rework is required. |
| SMCJ24A-E3/52 | Same electrical specs but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; 1000 W PPPM, lower RθJA (65 °C/W), higher IPPM (32.9 A). | Used where higher surge margin or improved thermal performance is needed; requires larger PCB footprint and different pad layout. | Choose SMBJ24C-E3/52 for space-constrained designs needing 600 W protection in minimal SMB footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ24A-E3/52, SMBJ24C-E3/52 provides identical clamping performance with guaranteed cathode band visibility; versus SMCJ24A-E3/52, it trades 40 % lower surge rating for 35 % smaller board area and compatibility with fine-pitch SMT lines.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ24C-E3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ24C-E3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V at 15.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during full-rated transient events and is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. The SMBJ24C-E3/52 maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ24C-E3/52 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, SMBJ24C-E3/52 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as confirmed by the "E3" suffix in its ordering code. It meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements and uses matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102. The molding compound complies with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and the device is categorized as halogen-free per Vishay's material compliance documentation.
What does the "C" in SMBJ24C-E3/52 signify?
The "C" in SMBJ24C-E3/52 explicitly denotes cathode band marking on the SMB (DO-214AA) package, distinguishing it from the base SMBJ24A-E3/52 variant. This marking ensures unambiguous polarity identification during visual inspection, manual assembly, or rework - critical for correct orientation in unidirectional TVS applications. The cathode band aligns with the standard DO-214AA mechanical outline shown in Vishay document 88392.
Can SMBJ24C-E3/52 be used in automotive applications?
SMBJ24C-E3/52 is qualified for commercial-grade operation (–55 °C to +150 °C), but not AEC-Q101 certified. For automotive use, Vishay offers the AEC-Q101-qualified variant SMBJ24CHE3_B/H (with HE3 suffix). While SMBJ24C-E3/52 may function in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems, designers must validate reliability under vehicle-specific stress profiles; the SMBJ24C-E3/52 itself is not automotive-qualified.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ24C-E3/52 and how does it affect layout?
SMBJ24C-E3/52 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. This value dictates minimum copper area required to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C under worst-case power dissipation. Layouts must provide adequate thermal relief and avoid narrow traces; doubling pad area reduces RθJA by ~20 %, directly improving surge endurance of the SMBJ24C-E3/52.
