Product details
Overview
SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection of 3.3 V supply rails. It features a 3.3 V standoff voltage (VWM), 4.1 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 7.3 V clamping voltage at 50 A (10/1000 μs), 600 W peak pulse power, and SMB (DO-214AA) package - deployed to safeguard ICs, MOSFETs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients and ESD.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H datasheet, SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H pinout, SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H application, or SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 50 A IPP, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, junction capacitance (5200 pF at 0 V), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly per J-STD-002.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates exclusively in unidirectional mode, with cathode marked by a band. Its silicon avalanche structure delivers sub-nanosecond response to transients, enabling effective suppression of fast-rising surges such as those from relay coil de-energization or lightning-induced coupling on low-voltage interfaces.
Thermal design relies on PCB copper pad layout: 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) pads per terminal yield RθJL = 20 °C/W and support 5 W steady-state dissipation at TA = 75 °C. The device is rated for TJ up to +175 °C and meets MSL Level 1 reflow profile (260 °C peak).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 3.3 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 200 μA; matches nominal 3.3 V rail without false triggering. |
| VBR (min) | 4.1 V - Minimum breakdown voltage at 1 mA test current; ensures reliable conduction onset above normal operating voltage. |
| VC @ IPP | 7.3 V at 50 A (10/1000 μs) - Clamped voltage during standardized surge; limits downstream stress to safe levels for 3.3 V logic. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; defines maximum transient energy absorption per event. |
| CJ | 5200 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - Junction capacitance impacts high-speed signal integrity; suitable for DC/low-frequency I/O, not RF lines. |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive or industrial environments. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Thermal resistance to ambient on recommended PCB layout; informs derating for sustained power dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, molded plastic case meeting UL 94 V-0. Cathode indicated by color band. Matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when voltage exceeds VBR. |
| Anode | Reference / return path | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return plane; completes clamping path during overvoltage events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I | Same electrical specs; differs only in packaging - 3200-unit 13" tape-and-reel vs. 750-unit 7" reel for SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H. | No functional difference; suited for high-volume SMT lines requiring larger reels to reduce changeover frequency. | Select SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I when optimizing for production throughput and minimizing feeder reloads. |
| SAC3V3 | Lower PPPM (300 W), higher VC (12.5 V at 20 A), smaller SOD-123 package; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Limited to cost-sensitive consumer applications where surge severity is lower and automotive qualification is unnecessary. | Choose SAC3V3 only for non-automotive, space-constrained designs accepting reduced clamping performance and no automotive validation. |
Compared with SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H, SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I offers identical protection performance with optimized packaging for volume production, while SAC3V3 trades clamping efficacy and qualification for size and cost - making SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H the preferred choice for AEC-Q101–required 3.3 V rail protection demanding 600 W surge resilience.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H at 50 A?
The SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 7.3 V when subjected to a 50 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and ensures that protected 3.3 V circuits remain within safe operating limits during surge events. The SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its qualified temperature range.
Is SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H qualified for automotive use?
Yes, SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HE3" and documentation (Document Number: 88940). This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock - validating SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H for under-hood and body electronics applications where reliability is mission-critical.
What package type does SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H use?
SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H uses the SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package, with dimensions of 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.29 mm. The package features matte tin-plated leads, complies with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and supports MSL Level 1 handling. Its standardized footprint allows drop-in replacement within existing SMB layouts.
How does SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H differ from the commercial-grade SMBJ3V3-E3?
SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H adds AEC-Q101 qualification and tighter process controls versus the commercial-grade SMBJ3V3-E3, while retaining identical electrical parameters (VWM = 3.3 V, VBR = 4.1 V, VC = 7.3 V). The "HE3" suffix denotes automotive qualification; "E3" is RoHS-compliant but not AEC-Q101 tested. SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H is required for automotive BOMs where qualification evidence is mandatory.
What is the junction capacitance of SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H?
The SMBJ3V3HE3_A/H exhibits a typical junction capacitance (CJ) of 5200 pF at 0 V and 1 MHz, as specified in the Vishay datasheet. This value reflects the device's physical die size and construction optimized for high-power clamping - making it appropriate for DC and low-frequency signal lines, but unsuitable for high-speed data buses where sub-100 pF is required.
