Product details
Overview
SMBJ28AHE3_B/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 28 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 31.1–34.4 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 45.4 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 13.2 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 and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ28AHE3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ28AHE3_B/H pinout, SMBJ28AHE3_B/H application, or SMBJ28AHE3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), junction temperature range (−55 to +150 °C), and compliance with UL 497B surge protector classification.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that enters avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold, diverting surge energy away from protected circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance and fast response time (<1 ns), while the low incremental surge resistance enables effective suppression of high-current transients induced by inductive switching or ESD events.
The SMBJ28AHE3_B/H variant is AEC-Q101 qualified and RoHS-compliant, with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. It meets MSL level 1 (peak reflow 260 °C) and is rated for repetitive surge duty cycle ≤0.01 % under specified thermal conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 28 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC bias margin for protected line. |
| VBR (min/max) | 31.1 V / 34.4 V at IT = 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensuring predictable turn-on behavior across production lots. |
| VC @ IPPM | 45.4 V at 13.2 A - Clamped voltage during 600 W 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress on downstream components. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; validates robustness against lightning-induced surges and load dump events. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Non-repetitive forward surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine); supports protection of rectifier stages and DC bus inputs. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads; informs PCB thermal layout requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ28AHM3_B/H | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified - identical electrical specs but different material composition. | No functional difference; selected where halogen-free compliance is mandated by OEM environmental policy. | Direct material substitution when halogen-free requirement applies; same footprint, thermal, and electrical behavior. |
| SMBJ28A-E3/52 | Commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), same SMB package and electrical ratings, RoHS-compliant, 7" tape/reel packaging. | Not qualified for automotive use; suitable for industrial and consumer applications with lower reliability requirements. | Cost-optimized alternative where AEC-Q101 qualification is unnecessary; requires no PCB change. |
Compared with SMBJ28AHE3_B/H, the HM3 variant offers identical performance with halogen-free construction, while the E3/52 version provides commercial-grade cost savings without AEC-Q101 validation - enabling tiered sourcing based on end-equipment qualification needs.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ28AHE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ28AHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 45.4 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 13.2 A, measured under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events and is critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings. The SMBJ28AHE3_B/H maintains this clamping performance across its qualified temperature range and after repeated surge exposure.
Is SMBJ28AHE3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ28AHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, making it suitable for automotive applications including engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS power supplies. Its qualification covers temperature cycling, mechanical shock, vibration, and high-temperature operating life testing. The SMBJ28AHE3_B/H also meets UL 497B for surge protector classification and is rated for operation from −55 °C to +150 °C - fulfilling under-hood thermal requirements. Always verify system-level compliance with ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in SMBJ28AHE3_B/H?
The "HE3" suffix in SMBJ28AHE3_B/H denotes a RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified variant with standard matte tin plating. The "H" indicates 7-inch tape-and-reel packaging (750 units per reel), and "B/H" specifies the revision code and packaging format per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. This distinguishes it from commercial-grade variants (e.g., E3) and halogen-free qualified versions (HM3). The SMBJ28AHE3_B/H is intended for high-reliability automotive and industrial designs requiring both environmental compliance and stress qualification.
How does SMBJ28AHE3_B/H compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBJ28CA?
The SMBJ28AHE3_B/H is unidirectional and intended for DC line protection where polarity is fixed (e.g., 24 V supply rails), offering lower leakage and higher surge current capability in the forward direction. In contrast, SMBJ28CA is bidirectional and suited for AC or floating signal lines (e.g., RS-485, CAN). The SMBJ28AHE3_B/H cannot replace SMBJ28CA in AC-coupled applications without circuit redesign, as it conducts in forward bias and lacks symmetrical clamping. Select SMBJ28AHE3_B/H only where unidirectional protection aligns with system architecture.
What PCB layout considerations apply to SMBJ28AHE3_B/H?
For optimal thermal and surge performance, SMBJ28AHE3_B/H should be mounted on minimum recommended pad layout: 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, with internal ground planes connected via multiple vias. Keep traces short and wide between the SMBJ28AHE3_B/H and protected node to minimize inductance. Avoid routing sensitive signals near the device, and ensure the cathode connects directly to the line being protected while the anode ties to a low-impedance ground plane - not a daisy-chained or narrow trace. Thermal relief patterns must be minimized to preserve RθJL = 20 °C/W.
