Product details
Overview
SMBJ26AHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 26 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 28.9–31.9 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 42.1 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 14.3 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with a 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed on power rails and signal lines in industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ26AHE3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ26AHE3_B/H pinout, SMBJ26AHE3_B/H application, or SMBJ26AHE3_B/H equivalent, this device is selected for its AEC-Q101 qualification, low incremental surge resistance, fast response time (<1 ns), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on PCBs requiring IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 level protection.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protector: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (>1 MΩ at VWM), then rapidly transitions to low-impedance conduction when transients exceed VBR, limiting downstream voltage to ≤42.1 V. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance and reliability across temperature.
The SMBJ26AHE3_B/H is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature, has a thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient), and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 - enabling reflow soldering at peak 260 °C without preconditioning. Its 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at 26 V supports low-power sensor interface protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 26 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin for 24 V nominal systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 28.9 V / 31.9 V at 1 mA - precise breakdown threshold ensuring predictable turn-on during ESD or surge events. |
| VC @ IPPM | 42.1 V at 14.3 A - clamped voltage under 600 W 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress on protected ICs. |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling capability; sufficient for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV/2 Ω) surges. |
| IPPM | 14.3 A - peak pulse current supported at VC; enables protection of 24 V CAN, RS-485, or PLC I/O circuits. |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - maximum junction temperature; allows operation in under-hood automotive or industrial enclosures. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - standardized 2-pin SMD outline with 5.0 mm × 3.9 mm footprint and 2.2 mm height; compatible with IPC-7351B. |

|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ26AHM3_B/H | Halogen-free variant with identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; same SMB package and pinout. | No difference in circuit design or layout; selected only when halogen-free compliance is mandated by OEM spec. | Choose SMBJ26AHM3_B/H if RoHS + halogen-free material declaration is required for final product certification. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ26AHE3_B/H under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMBJ26AHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 42.1 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 14.3 A using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per IEC 61000-4-5 test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ26AHE3_B/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SMBJ26AHE3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ26AHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and specifically designed for automotive use, including body control modules, lighting drivers, and infotainment power supplies. Its construction includes glass-passivated junctions, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity rating, and validated performance across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified commercial grade, making SMBJ26AHE3_B/H appropriate for under-hood and cabin applications requiring certified reliability.
What does the "_B/H" suffix mean in SMBJ26AHE3_B/H?
The "_B/H" suffix in SMBJ26AHE3_B/H indicates packaging and reel configuration: "B" denotes the revision code (per Vishay's internal revision tracking), and "H" specifies the preferred package code for 7-inch plastic tape-and-reel delivery with 750 units per reel. This matches the ordering information in Vishay document 88392, where "H" corresponds to the 7″ diameter reel format. The SMBJ26AHE3_B/H is not a functional variant - all electrical and thermal specifications remain identical to the base SMBJ26AHE3 part.
How does SMBJ26AHE3_B/H compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBJ26CA?
SMBJ26AHE3_B/H is unidirectional and intended for DC line protection where polarity is fixed (e.g., +24 V rail to ground), offering lower leakage (<1 µA at 26 V) and forward voltage drop characteristics. In contrast, SMBJ26CA is bidirectional, suited for AC or floating signal lines (e.g., RS-485 differential pairs), but exhibits higher leakage and lacks a defined forward conduction path. The SMBJ26AHE3_B/H cannot replace SMBJ26CA in symmetrical surge environments without circuit redesign, and vice versa - selection must align with system polarity architecture and IEC test profile requirements.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ26AHE3_B/H, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The SMBJ26AHE3_B/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on minimum recommended copper pads (0.2″ × 0.2″ per terminal). This value assumes standard FR-4 PCB with no internal planes. To maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C under sustained 5.0 W power dissipation, designers must ensure adequate copper area and airflow - or use the device only for transient (not continuous) power conditions. Layout should follow Vishay's DO-214AA pad dimensions to avoid solder joint reliability issues and ensure specified thermal performance.
