Product details
Overview
SMBJ30D-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 30 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 33.8–36.3 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 47.7 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 12.6 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs waveform), commonly deployed to protect MOSFETs and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ30D-M3/H datasheet, SMBJ30D-M3/H pinout, SMBJ30D-M3/H application, or SMBJ30D-M3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its unidirectional polarity, ±3.5 % VBR tolerance, low leakage (<0.5 μA at VWM), M3 halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on standard PCB pad layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that remains high-impedance below 30 V and rapidly transitions to low-impedance conduction above its 33.8–36.3 V breakdown threshold, limiting transient energy to safe levels. Its 10/1000 μs surge rating supports repetitive 0.01 % duty cycle events, and it meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 with 260 °C reflow peak temperature.
The SMBJ30D-M3/H exhibits 125 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard pads and 20 °C/W junction-to-mount resistance, enabling effective heat dissipation during transient suppression. Its 150 °C maximum junction temperature and -55 °C to +150 °C operating range support deployment in harsh industrial environments without derating penalties up to 25 °C ambient.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ30A-M3/H | Bidirectional variant with same VWM (30 V), but symmetric clamping in both polarities; VBR min/max = 33.8–36.3 V in either direction | Required where AC-coupled or differential signal lines need protection against both positive and negative transients | Select SMBJ30A-M3/H only if bidirectional clamping is required; SMBJ30D-M3/H is optimal for DC-biased rails with defined polarity |
| SMCJ30A | Larger SMC (DO-214AB) package with higher 1500 W PPPM rating; same VWM/VBR but higher VC (48.4 V) and IPPM (31.8 A) | Used where higher surge energy absorption is needed, such as primary-side AC input protection or high-power motor drives | Choose SMCJ30A when system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W; SMBJ30D-M3/H fits space-constrained secondary-side locations |
Compared with SMBJ30A-M3/H and SMCJ30A, the SMBJ30D-M3/H provides optimized unidirectional clamping in the smallest standard SMB footprint, delivering precise 30 V standoff and 47.7 V clamping for cost-sensitive, space-limited DC rail protection without over-engineering surge capacity.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ30D-M3/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ30D-M3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 47.7 V when subjected to its rated 12.6 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and guarantees the protected circuit sees no more than 47.7 V during a full-power transient event, making SMBJ30D-M3/H suitable for safeguarding 3.3 V, 5 V, and 24 V logic and power rails.
Is SMBJ30D-M3/H RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, SMBJ30D-M3/H carries the M3 suffix, which certifies it as halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and industrial-grade per Vishay's material categorization standard. The device uses UL 94 V-0 molding compound and matte tin-plated leads qualified to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, ensuring environmental compliance and solderability in lead-free reflow processes.
How does the unidirectional polarity of SMBJ30D-M3/H affect its circuit placement?
The unidirectional polarity of SMBJ30D-M3/H requires correct orientation: the banded cathode must connect to the line being protected, while the anode connects to ground or the lower-potential reference. This configuration allows SMBJ30D-M3/H to conduct only during positive transients, preventing unintended conduction during normal reverse-biased operation-critical for DC power rail and signal line protection.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ30D-M3/H on standard PCB pads?
SMBJ30D-M3/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 125 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended pad layout, and 100 °C/W on a 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad. These values define steady-state power dissipation limits: at 25 °C ambient, SMBJ30D-M3/H supports 1.0 W continuous power, dropping linearly to zero at 150 °C junction temperature.
Can SMBJ30D-M3/H be used in place of a bidirectional TVS like SMBJ30CD?
No-SMBJ30D-M3/H is unidirectional and cannot replace bidirectional devices like SMBJ30CD in AC or differential signal applications. Attempting substitution risks failure during negative transients, as SMBJ30D-M3/H blocks conduction in reverse bias beyond its 30 V standoff. Use SMBJ30D-M3/H only on DC lines with known polarity; for bidirectional protection, select SMBJ30A-M3/H or SMBJ30CD variants explicitly rated for dual-polarity clamping.
