Product details
Overview
SMBJ33AHM3_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, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - used to safeguard MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients and ESD in industrial and telecom systems.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ33AHM3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ33AHM3_B/H pinout, SMBJ33AHM3_B/H application, or SMBJ33AHM3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its unidirectional polarity, 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at VWM, 150 °C max junction temperature, halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction (HM3 suffix), and AEC-Q101 qualification suitability for automotive-grade designs requiring reliable surge immunity.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, entering avalanche conduction when transient voltage exceeds VBR. Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns) enable effective suppression of sub-microsecond transients induced by inductive load switching or lightning surges.
The SMBJ33AHM3_B/H uses a glass-passivated silicon junction housed in an SMB (DO-214AA) package rated for 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. It supports repetitive surge duty cycle of 0.01 % and meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak temperature tolerance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 33 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR (min/max) | 36.7 V / 40.6 V at 1 mA - guaranteed avalanche onset range defining protection threshold |
| VC @ IPPM | 53.3 V at 11.3 A - clamped voltage during 600 W transient, limiting stress on downstream components |
| IPPM | 11.3 A - peak pulse current capability with 10/1000 µs waveform, defining surge handling capacity |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power dissipation, enabling protection against high-energy transients |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature, supporting operation in harsh thermal environments |
| Leakage @ VWM | 1.0 µA - minimal reverse leakage ensures negligible standby power loss and signal integrity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ33AHE3_B/H | RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification | Suitable for commercial-grade industrial equipment where automotive qualification is unnecessary | Select when halogen-free content or automotive qualification is not required; lower cost alternative |
| SMBJ33CAHM3_B/H | Bidirectional variant with same VWM (33 V), symmetric clamping in both polarities | Required for AC-coupled or floating signal lines (e.g., RS-485, audio) where polarity reversal may occur | Choose only if bidirectional protection is needed - not a drop-in replacement due to polarity and circuit topology differences |
Compared with SMBJ33AHM3_B/H, the HE3 variant trades halogen-free and AEC-Q101 compliance for cost efficiency in non-automotive settings, while the CAHM3 variant changes protection topology entirely - making SMBJ33AHM3_B/H the optimal choice for unidirectional DC rail and signal line protection in automotive and high-reliability industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ33AHM3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ33AHM3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 53.3 V at 11.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events and is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88392, page 2. The SMBJ33AHM3_B/H maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ33AHM3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ33AHM3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified (as indicated by the HM3 suffix) and specifically designed for automotive use cases including body control modules, infotainment power supplies, and sensor interface protection. Its halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility meet stringent automotive manufacturing requirements. The SMBJ33AHM3_B/H qualification is documented in Vishay's ordering information table on page 3 of datasheet 88392.
What does the "HM3" suffix mean in SMBJ33AHM3_B/H?
The "HM3" suffix in SMBJ33AHM3_B/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this variant from E3 (RoHS-compliant only) and HE3 (RoHS-compliant + AEC-Q101, but not halogen-free). The "B/H" indicates packaging in 7″ tape-and-reel format (750 units per reel). This coding is defined in Vishay's ordering information section on page 3 of datasheet 88392.
How does SMBJ33AHM3_B/H differ from SMBJ33AHE3_B/H?
SMBJ33AHM3_B/H and SMBJ33AHE3_B/H share identical electrical specs (VWM = 33 V, VC = 53.3 V, PPPM = 600 W) but differ in material compliance: HM3 is halogen-free and AEC-Q101 qualified, while HE3 is RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified but contains halogens. Both use the same SMB package and mounting footprint. The distinction is critical for automotive Tier 1 suppliers requiring halogen-free BOMs - SMBJ33AHM3_B/H satisfies that requirement where SMBJ33AHE3_B/H does not.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SMBJ33AHM3_B/H at its stand-off voltage?
The SMBJ33AHM3_B/H exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at its 33 V stand-off voltage (VWM), measured at TA = 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss and avoids interference with high-impedance sensor circuits or battery-powered systems. The value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of Vishay datasheet 88392 under the "MAXIMUM REVERSE LEAKAGE AT VWM" column for the SMBJ33A row.
