Product details
Overview
SMBJ24HE3/52 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 DC power rails 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 ECUs, industrial I/O modules, and telecom power interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ24HE3/52 datasheet, SMBJ24HE3/52 pinout, SMBJ24HE3/52 application, or SMBJ24HE3/52 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and real-world clamping behavior under surge conditions - all critical for ESD/surge co-design and layout-aware PCB protection.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VWM = 24 V, it avalanches into low-impedance conduction to divert transient energy away from downstream ICs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and long-term reliability under repetitive surge stress.
Designed for unidirectional operation (cathode-banded polarity), SMBJ24HE3/52 complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 surge standards and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C lead-free reflow peak. It supports 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) and exhibits 0.096 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, enabling predictable performance across automotive and industrial ambient ranges.
Key Specifications

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 | Commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), same VWM/VC/PPPM, identical SMB package and pinout. | Approved for industrial/commercial use only; not validated for automotive temperature cycling or lifetime stress tests. | Select when AEC-Q101 qualification is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized for non-automotive designs. |
| SMAJ24AHE3/A | Lower PPPM = 400 W, SMA (DO-214AC) package, 1.5 mm shorter body, same VWM and VC. | Reduced surge margin; suitable only for lower-energy threats (e.g., IEC 61000-4-2 ESD, not IEC 61000-4-5 surges). | Choose for space-constrained layouts where 400 W protection suffices and board area is critical. |
Compared with SMBJ24A-E3/52, SMBJ24HE3/52 adds automotive qualification without sacrificing electrical specs; versus SMAJ24AHE3/A, it delivers 50 % higher surge power in a slightly larger but thermally superior SMB package - critical for high-reliability 24 V rail protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ24HE3/52 and how is it measured?
The SMBJ24HE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V at 15.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards with the device mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads. The clamping voltage defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events - a key parameter for verifying compatibility with downstream IC absolute maximum ratings. SMBJ24HE3/52 maintains this clamping performance across its qualified temperature range.
Is SMBJ24HE3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ24HE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified, explicitly validated for automotive use cases including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power supplies. The HE3 suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification, covering temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and accelerated life testing. SMBJ24HE3/52 meets the reliability and traceability requirements for Tier 1 automotive suppliers and is rated for operation from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature - essential for under-hood deployment.
What is the difference between SMBJ24HE3/52 and SMBJ24A-E3/52?
The core electrical specifications - VWM = 24 V, VBR = 26.7–29.5 V, VC = 38.9 V, and PPPM = 600 W - are identical between SMBJ24HE3/52 and SMBJ24A-E3/52. The distinction lies in qualification: SMBJ24HE3/52 carries AEC-Q101 certification for automotive use, while SMBJ24A-E3/52 is commercial-grade only. Both share the same SMB (DO-214AA) package, pinout, and thermal characteristics. SMBJ24HE3/52 is required where automotive reliability standards apply; SMBJ24A-E3/52 suffices for industrial or consumer applications.
Does SMBJ24HE3/52 have polarity markings, and how is it installed?
Yes, SMBJ24HE3/52 is unidirectional and features a cathode band (black stripe) on the package body, marking the cathode terminal. During PCB layout, the banded end must connect to the line being protected (e.g., 24 V rail), while the anode connects to system ground. Incorrect orientation renders the device ineffective for reverse-transient suppression. The SMB (DO-214AA) outline and pad layout match JEDEC DO-214AA standards, and polarity alignment is verified via optical inspection per IPC-A-610.
What is the thermal resistance and how does it affect SMBJ24HE3/52 layout?
SMBJ24HE3/52 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal. This value assumes no additional heatsinking. Layout impact is direct: for sustained surge duty cycles or elevated ambient temperatures, increasing copper area or adding thermal vias reduces effective RθJA and prevents junction overheating. Derating curves in the SMBJ24HE3/52 datasheet show power capability drops linearly above 25 °C ambient - proper thermal design ensures SMBJ24HE3/52 remains within its 150 °C TJ limit.
