Product details
Overview
SMBJ28D-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, with 28 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 31.6–33.9 V breakdown voltage (VBR at 1.0 mA), 44.7 V clamping voltage (VC) at 13.4 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating (10/1000 μs waveform). It protects MOSFETs and signal lines in industrial sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ28D-M3/H datasheet, SMBJ28D-M3/H pinout, SMBJ28D-M3/H application, or SMBJ28D-M3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, ±3.5% VBR tolerance, 0.5 μA max reverse leakage at VWM, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with sensitive circuit nodes, activating when transient voltage exceeds VBR to shunt surge current away from downstream components. Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time ensure effective suppression of ESD and lightning-induced surges.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on standard PCBs, SMBJ28D-M3/H uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The cathode band denotes polarity, and it is rated for operation from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 28 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR min/max | 31.6 V / 33.9 V at 1.0 mA - tight ±3.5% tolerance ensures predictable turn-on across production lots |
| VC @ IPPM | 44.7 V at 13.4 A - clamping voltage limits stress on protected ICs during 600 W transient events |
| ID @ VWM | ≤0.5 μA - ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity and battery life in always-on circuits |
| PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 μs) - handles high-energy transients common in motor drives and power supply inputs |
| TJ max | +150 °C - supports reliable operation in under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - compact 2.20 mm × 3.94 mm footprint compatible with automated pick-and-place |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ28A-M3/H | Same VWM/VBR/VC, but bidirectional configuration (no polarity marking) | Required where symmetrical surge protection needed on AC-coupled or differential lines | Select SMBJ28A-M3/H only if bidirectional clamping is explicitly required; SMBJ28D-M3/H provides lower leakage in DC-biased applications |
| SMCJ28A | Larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same electrical specs, higher thermal mass (RθJA = 40 °C/W vs. 125 °C/W) | Better suited for high-repetition-rate surges in power supply outputs due to improved heat dissipation | Choose SMCJ28A only when board layout allows larger footprint and thermal management justifies size increase |
Compared with SMBJ28A-M3/H and SMCJ28A, SMBJ28D-M3/H offers optimal balance of compact SMB footprint, unidirectional low-leakage performance, and industrial-grade reliability-making it preferred for space-constrained DC signal line protection where polarity is fixed and surge repetition is infrequent.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ28D-M3/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ28D-M3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 44.7 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 13.4 A, measured using a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value ensures protected downstream components like microcontrollers or gate drivers remain within their absolute maximum voltage ratings during surge events. The clamping performance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SMBJ28D-M3/H suitable for automotive applications per AEC-Q200?
SMBJ28D-M3/H is not AEC-Q200 qualified. While it meets industrial temperature range (–55 °C to +150 °C) and MSL Level 1 reflow requirements, Vishay does not list this specific variant in its AEC-Q200 qualified portfolio. For automotive use, engineers should select the AEC-Q200 qualified SMBJ28DHE3/52 or equivalent qualified variant-SMBJ28D-M3/H is intended for industrial, telecom, and consumer applications where AEC certification is not mandated.
What does the "-M3/H" suffix indicate in SMBJ28D-M3/H?
The "-M3" suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, industrial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The "/H" indicates packaging in 7" diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 750 units per reel. This ordering code ensures consistent material compliance and automated assembly compatibility-SMBJ28D-M3/H is not interchangeable with non-M3 variants in regulated environmental compliance programs.
Can SMBJ28D-M3/H be used in bidirectional signal protection?
No-SMBJ28D-M3/H is strictly unidirectional, with cathode marked by a band. Using it for bidirectional protection would result in forward conduction during negative transients, causing failure. For bidirectional applications, specify SMBJ28CD-M3/H (the "CD" suffix denotes bidirectional). The "D" in SMBJ28D-M3/H explicitly confirms unidirectional polarity, and its electrical characteristics are defined only for reverse-biased operation.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for SMBJ28D-M3/H?
The typical thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA) for SMBJ28D-M3/H is 125 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended pad layout per Vishay's datasheet (Document Number: 87606). This value assumes standard FR-4 PCB with specified copper pad dimensions. For improved thermal performance, mounting on a 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad reduces RθJA to 100 °C/W-critical for sustained power dissipation in SMBJ28D-M3/H designs.
