Product details
Overview
SMBJ3V3HE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for clamping overvoltage transients on 3.3 V power rails and signal lines. It features a 3.3 V standoff voltage (VWM), 4.1 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 7.3 V maximum clamping voltage at 50 A (10/1000 μs), 600 W peak pulse power, and SMB (DO-214AA) package - deployed to protect sensitive ICs, MOSFETs, and sensor interfaces in automotive and industrial electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ3V3HE3/52 datasheet, SMBJ3V3HE3/52 pinout, SMBJ3V3HE3/52 application, or SMBJ3V3HE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 μs surges, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W), junction capacitance (5200 pF at 0 V), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly using J-STD-002-compliant matte tin terminations.
Technical Context
The SMBJ3V3HE3/52 operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggering conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its 4.1 V (min) breakdown threshold to divert surge current away from protected circuitry. Its 7.3 V clamping voltage at 50 A ensures downstream 3.3 V logic remains within safe operating limits during transient events.
Thermally, it sustains 175 °C maximum junction temperature and delivers 5 W steady-state power dissipation at 75 °C ambient when mounted on recommended 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads. Its 200 A peak pulse current rating under 8/20 μs waveform supports robust lightning and ESD immunity per IEC 61000-4-5.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ3V3A-E3/52 | Unidirectional, same VWM/VBR/VC specs; RoHS-compliant commercial grade (not AEC-Q101 qualified). | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs without AEC requirements. | Select when AEC-Q101 is not mandated and cost optimization is prioritized. |
| SMCJ3V3HE3/52 | Same electrical specs but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; higher thermal mass and RθJA = 40 °C/W vs. 100 °C/W. | Better sustained power handling; requires larger PCB footprint and different pad layout. | Choose for higher-reliability 3.3 V rail protection where board space permits and thermal derating is critical. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ3V3HE3/52 at 50 A?
The SMBJ3V3HE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage of 7.3 V when subjected to a 50 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed per the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88940) and ensures protected 3.3 V circuits remain within safe operating limits during standardized surge events. The clamping behavior is repeatable and validated across temperature ranges from -65 °C to +175 °C.
Is SMBJ3V3HE3/52 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ3V3HE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HE3" and documentation in the 88940 datasheet. It undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life - meeting requirements for use in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules where automotive-grade reliability is mandatory.
What package type does SMBJ3V3HE3/52 use?
SMBJ3V3HE3/52 uses the SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package, measuring 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm. Its outline complies with JEDEC DO-214AA standards, features matte tin-plated leads, and supports reflow soldering per J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 - enabling direct integration into high-volume SMT lines without moisture sensitivity concerns.
How does SMBJ3V3HE3/52 differ from SMBJ3V3A-E3/52?
SMBJ3V3HE3/52 and SMBJ3V3A-E3/52 share identical electrical parameters (VWM = 3.3 V, VBR ≥ 4.1 V, VC ≤ 7.3 V), but only SMBJ3V3HE3/52 carries AEC-Q101 qualification. The "HE3" suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and automotive-qualified construction, whereas "A-E3" is commercial-grade. Both use the same SMB package and tape-and-reel packaging (52 = 7″ reel, 750 pcs).
What is the junction capacitance of SMBJ3V3HE3/52?
The SMBJ3V3HE3/52 exhibits a typical junction capacitance of 5200 pF measured at 0 V and 1 MHz, as specified in the Vishay 88940 datasheet. This value impacts high-frequency signal lines - making it appropriate for lower-speed interfaces like UART, CAN, or power rail clamping, but less suitable for >100 Mbps differential data paths where sub-100 pF devices are preferred.
