Product details
Overview
SMBJ33AHE3_B/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 sensitive electronics. It features a 33 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 36.7–40.6 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 53.3 V clamping voltage (VC) at 11.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed on power rails and signal lines in industrial motor drives and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ33AHE3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ33AHE3_B/H pinout, SMBJ33AHE3_B/H application, or SMBJ33AHE3_B/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), junction temperature range (−55 to +150 °C), and RoHS-compliant packaging details - all critical for surge immunity validation and long-term reliability planning.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a fast-acting shunt clamp during transient events, leveraging a glass-passivated silicon junction to achieve sub-nanosecond response time and low incremental surge resistance. Its 1.0 µA maximum reverse leakage at VWM ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on circuits.
The device is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine), supports automated SMT placement, and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. AEC-Q101 qualification confirms suitability for automotive under-hood applications requiring extended temperature cycling and mechanical shock resilience.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ33AHM3_B/H | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant variant with identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification. | No functional difference; selected where halogen-free compliance is mandated by OEM environmental policy. | Direct material substitution when halogen-free sourcing is required; same footprint and thermal performance. |
| SMBJ33A-E3/52 | Commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), same VWM/VBR/VC/PPPM, but rated only for −55 to +150 °C without automotive qualification testing. | Suitable for industrial or consumer applications where automotive reliability validation is not required. | Cost-optimized alternative for non-automotive designs; verify system-level reliability testing if used in harsh environments. |
Compared with SMBJ33AHE3_B/H, the HM3 variant adds halogen-free compliance without altering protection performance, while the E3/52 version removes AEC-Q101 validation - making it viable for cost-sensitive industrial use but unsuitable for automotive safety-critical nodes without additional qualification.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ33AHE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ33AHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 53.3 V at 11.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 and Table on page 2 of Vishay document 88392 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Is SMBJ33AHE3_B/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ33AHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the "Ordering Information" section (page 3) and "Features" list of Vishay document 88392. This qualification covers temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and ESD robustness - validating its use in automotive engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power domains without additional component-level qualification.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ33AHE3_B/H, and how does it affect layout design?
SMBJ33AHE3_B/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value requires PCB designers to allocate adequate copper area and avoid excessive trace length between the device and ground plane - especially in high-duty-cycle surge environments - to prevent junction temperature from exceeding +150 °C during repetitive transient events.
Does SMBJ33AHE3_B/H have polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes, SMBJ33AHE3_B/H is unidirectional and features a cathode band marking on the SMB (DO-214AA) package body. As stated in the "Mechanical Data" section, "for unidirectional types the band denotes cathode end." This band must be oriented toward the higher-potential side (e.g., 33 V rail) to ensure proper clamping action - incorrect orientation renders the device ineffective against positive transients.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of SMBJ33AHE3_B/H at its stand-off voltage?
The SMBJ33AHE3_B/H exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at its 33 V stand-off voltage (VWM), specified in the "Electrical Characteristics" table on page 2 of Vishay document 88392. This ultra-low leakage supports energy-efficient designs in battery-backed systems and prevents unintended loading of precision voltage references or high-impedance sensor inputs.
