Product details
Overview
SMBJ30AHE3_A/H 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 30 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 33.3–36.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 48.4 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 12.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), deployed in automotive power supply inputs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ30AHE3_A/H datasheet, SMBJ30AHE3_A/H pinout, SMBJ30AHE3_A/H application, or SMBJ30AHE3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 12.4 A surge, AEC-Q101 qualification status, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, and thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W) for PCB layout derating.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VBR, it avalanches to divert transient energy away from downstream ICs or MOSFETs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at 30 V).
Designed for 10/1000 µs surge waveforms per IEC 61000-4-5, it delivers 600 W peak pulse power with <1 ns response time and 0.099 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR - critical for stable clamping across -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 30 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; sets upper limit for protected circuit's nominal DC rail. |
| VBR (min/max) | 33.3 V / 36.8 V at 1 mA - guaranteed avalanche onset window; ensures reliable triggering above system overvoltage thresholds. |
| VC @ IPPM | 48.4 V at 12.4 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; defines worst-case stress on downstream components. |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient power handling capability; determines survivability against lightning-induced or inductive-switching surges. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - reverse leakage at rated stand-off; minimizes quiescent power loss and avoids false triggering in high-impedance circuits. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive or enclosed industrial environments. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - thermal resistance junction-to-ambient; requires ≥5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad per terminal for full 600 W rating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, matte tin-plated leads, MSL Level 1 (260 °C reflow peak), RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified. Cathode identified by black band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference node | Connected to ground or lowest potential point; completes conduction path during reverse avalanche. |
| Cathode | Protected line input | Connected to line being protected (e.g., 24 V supply rail); avalanche occurs between cathode and anode when VCK > VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics - supports PPAP and long-term reliability requirements. |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Withstands high-energy transients from load dump or ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a without degradation - eliminates need for external series impedance in many cases. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage drift over temperature and lifetime - critical for precision protection in sensor front-ends. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients (<1 ns response) - improves immunity to ESD and EFT events per IEC 61000-4-2/4. |
| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Enables standard SMT assembly without baking - reduces manufacturing cost and avoids moisture-related popcorning during reflow. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Input Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Protection |

Use Value: Low clamping voltage (48.4 V) prevents latch-up in 5 V-rated USB PHYs while AEC-Q101 grade ensures production traceability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ30AHM3_A/H | Halogen-free variant with identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; same SMB package and pinout. | No difference in protection performance or layout; selected only when halogen-free compliance is mandated by OEM or regional regulation. | Choose SMBJ30AHM3_A/H if RoHS + halogen-free material declaration is required; otherwise SMBJ30AHE3_A/H is functionally identical. |
| SMAJ30AHE3/A | Lower 400 W peak pulse power (vs. 600 W), higher RθJA (140 °C/W), same VWM/VBR/VC but reduced surge margin. | Not suitable for automotive load dump or high-repetition industrial transients; limited to lower-energy consumer or telecom applications. | Select SMAJ30AHE3/A only where space constraints force SMA package use and surge energy is confirmed ≤400 W; SMBJ30AHE3_A/H remains preferred for robustness. |
Compared with SMBJ30AHM3_A/H, SMBJ30AHE3_A/H offers identical protection performance with standard RoHS compliance, while SMAJ30AHE3/A trades 33 % lower pulse power and higher thermal resistance for smaller footprint - making SMBJ30AHE3_A/H optimal for AEC-Q101-critical, high-surge industrial and automotive designs.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ30AHE3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ30AHE3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 48.4 V at 12.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 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 SMBJ30AHE3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SMBJ30AHE3_A/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ30AHE3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HE3" and documentation in datasheet 88392. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and surge robustness - validating its suitability for under-hood and body-control module applications. The SMBJ30AHE3_A/H meets all requirements for PPAP submission and long-term reliability in automotive production.
What is the standoff voltage and breakdown voltage range for SMBJ30AHE3_A/H?
The SMBJ30AHE3_A/H has a reverse stand-off voltage (VWM) of 30 V and a breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 33.3 V to 36.8 V at 1 mA test current. VWM ensures negligible leakage during normal operation, while the VBR window guarantees consistent avalanche initiation above system overvoltage thresholds. These parameters are measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and are fully characterized across temperature in the official Vishay datasheet.
How does the SMBJ30AHE3_A/H package differ from SMAJ series in terms of thermal performance?
The SMBJ30AHE3_A/H uses the SMB (DO-214AA) package with a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W, whereas the SMAJ30AHE3/A uses the smaller SMA (DO-214AC) package with RθJA = 140 °C/W. This 40 % lower thermal resistance allows SMBJ30AHE3_A/H to sustain its full 600 W peak pulse rating with standard 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads, while SMAJ30AHE3/A requires more aggressive layout or derating for equivalent surge handling.
What is the polarity configuration and marking convention for SMBJ30AHE3_A/H?
SMBJ30AHE3_A/H is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode denoted by a single black band on the SMB package body. The cathode terminal connects to the line being protected (e.g., 24 V rail), and the anode connects to ground. This polarity ensures forward conduction is blocked during normal operation, while reverse avalanche provides clamping action when VCK exceeds VBR. Bidirectional variants use "CA" suffix and omit the band.
