Product details
Overview
SMBJ24D-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 24 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 27.1–29.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 38.4 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 15.6 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ24D-M3/H datasheet, SMBJ24D-M3/H pinout, SMBJ24D-M3/H application, or SMBJ24D-M3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, ±3.5 % VBR tolerance, low leakage (<0.5 μA at VWM), MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction suitable for automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, entering avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds VBR to limit transient energy. Its 20 °C/W junction-to-mount thermal resistance enables effective heat dissipation when soldered to minimum recommended PCB copper pads (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm).
The SMBJ24D-M3/H delivers 38.4 V clamping voltage at 15.6 A IPPM under 10/1000 μs surge, with 125 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in free-air conditions and a maximum operating junction temperature of +150 °C - supporting robust protection in ambient temperatures up to +125 °C after derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off) | 24 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before significant leakage begins; defines safe operating margin below clamping threshold |
| VBR (Breakdown) | 27.1–29.1 V at 1 mA - tight ±3.5 % tolerance ensures predictable turn-on across production lots |
| VC (Clamping) | 38.4 V at 15.6 A - limits voltage seen by downstream components during 600 W transient events |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 μs waveform, enabling protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges |
| ID (Leakage) | <0.5 μA at 24 V - minimizes standby power loss and avoids false triggering in high-impedance circuits |
| TJ max | +150 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and enclosed power converters |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with 2.20 mm height and 5.59 mm length; compatible with J-STD-020 reflow profiles |
Pinout & Package
SMBJ24D-M3/H uses a 2-terminal SMB (DO-214AA) package with unidirectional polarity: the cathode band denotes the cathode terminal. The device has no internal circuitry beyond the PN junction; terminals are optimized for low-inductance transient response and high-current surge conduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference node | Connected to ground or low-voltage rail; forms return path during clamping conduction |
| Cathode (banded end) | Protected line interface | Connected to the line being protected (e.g., 24 V supply rail); conducts avalanche current to anode during overvoltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±3.5 % VBR tolerance | Enables precise clamping threshold control without design margin inflation - reduces risk of premature conduction or insufficient protection |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Meets IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements for industrial equipment and telecom infrastructure |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Supports standard lead-free reflow without baking or special handling - lowers manufacturing cost and cycle time |
| Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant (M3 suffix) | Fulfills environmental compliance for EU, China, and Japan markets; meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients (e.g., ESD, inductive switch-off), improving system-level robustness |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24A-M3/5B (Vishay) | Bidirectional variant with same VWM (24 V), but symmetric clamping in both polarities; VC = 38.4 V at ±15.6 A | Required where AC-coupled or dual-polarity signal lines (e.g., RS-485, CAN) need protection without polarity assumptions | Select SMBJ24A-M3/5B only if bidirectional clamping is required; SMBJ24D-M3/H is optimal for DC rails with defined polarity |
| SMCJ24A (ON Semiconductor) | Larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; same 24 V VWM, but higher 1500 W PPPM rating and 50 A IPPM capability | Used where higher surge energy handling is mandated (e.g., EN 61000-4-5 Level 5), accepting larger board area and higher cost | Choose SMBJ24D-M3/H for space-constrained 600 W applications; upgrade to SMCJ24A only when validated surge levels exceed 15.6 A |
Compared with SMBJ24A-M3/5B and SMCJ24A, the SMBJ24D-M3/H offers the optimal balance of compact SMB footprint, precise 24 V unidirectional clamping, and production-ready M3 halogen-free compliance - making it ideal for high-volume industrial and automotive control modules where board space and leakage current are critical constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ24D-M3/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ24D-M3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.4 V at 15.6 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured under the standardized 10/1000 μs double-exponential surge waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The SMBJ24D-M3/H maintains this clamping performance with minimal variation due to its tight VBR tolerance and low dynamic impedance.
Is SMBJ24D-M3/H suitable for protecting 24 V automotive power rails?
Yes, SMBJ24D-M3/H is widely deployed for 24 V automotive power rail protection, including body control modules and ADAS domain controllers. Its 24 V stand-off voltage (VWM) provides adequate margin above nominal 24 V systems, while its 27.1–29.1 V breakdown range and 38.4 V clamping ensure reliable response to ISO 7637-2 pulse 1 (load dump) and pulse 3a/b (switching transients). The SMBJ24D-M3/H also meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements when qualified per Vishay's automotive-grade variants.
Does SMBJ24D-M3/H have a bidirectional version?
Yes - the bidirectional counterpart is SMBJ24CD-M3/H, which features identical electrical ratings (24 V VWM, 38.4 V VC) but symmetrical clamping in both forward and reverse directions. Unlike the unidirectional SMBJ24D-M3/H, SMBJ24CD-M3/H has no cathode band and is used on AC-coupled or polarity-agnostic lines such as RS-485, CAN, or audio interfaces. The "CD" suffix explicitly denotes bidirectional functionality, and the two parts are not interchangeable without circuit review.
What is the thermal resistance and power derating behavior of SMBJ24D-M3/H?
SMBJ24D-M3/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 125 °C/W on standard FR-4 PCB with minimum pad layout, and 100 °C/W on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads. Its steady-state power dissipation is rated at 1.0 W at TA = 25 °C and derates linearly to zero at TA = 150 °C. For continuous operation, designers must apply the derating curve in Figure 5 of Vishay document 87606 - the SMBJ24D-M3/H remains functional up to TJ = 150 °C, but sustained power must be reduced above 25 °C ambient.
How does the M3 suffix affect the material composition and reliability of SMBJ24D-M3/H?
The M3 suffix indicates that SMBJ24D-M3/H is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and qualified to JESD201 Class 2 for tin whisker resistance - critical for long-life industrial and automotive applications. It uses matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102, with molding compound meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. These attributes make SMBJ24D-M3/H suitable for high-reliability deployments where regulatory compliance and intermetallic growth mitigation are mandatory.
