Product details
Overview
SMBJ3V3HE3_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 3.3 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 600 W peak pulse power rating (10/1000 µs), clamping voltage of 8.1 V at 57.5 A peak pulse current, and operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range - deployed on power rails and I/O lines of automotive ECUs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H pinout, SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H application, or SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance data, clamping behavior under surge conditions, and direct alternative part comparisons for ESD and lightning transient protection design.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold (VBR min = 3.67 V at IT = 10 mA). Its low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 2.2) ensures rapid voltage limiting during transients such as ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a or IEC 61000-4-5 surges.
Designed for high-reliability automotive applications, SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements and is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine). Its MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity and 260 °C lead-free reflow compatibility support automated SMT assembly without preconditioning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 3.3 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; sets minimum system rail margin for reliable blocking. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 3.67 V to 4.06 V at 10 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; defines precise triggering point for transient suppression. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 8.1 V at IPPM = 57.5 A (10/1000 µs) - Actual voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge; enables safe IC-level tolerance design. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Sustained energy absorption capability under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform; validates compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads; determines derating needed above 25 °C ambient. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; supports operation in under-hood automotive environments. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Peak forward surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine); qualifies use in DC power line protection with high inrush events. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads; polarity indicated by cathode band (cathode terminal).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / Reverse voltage reference | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., GND or return path); defines directionality of clamping action. |
| Cathode | Avalanche conduction node / Surge sink | Connected to protected line (e.g., 3.3 V rail); conducts transient current to ground when VAK exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ3V3AHE3_A/H | Same VWM (3.3 V), identical SMB package and AEC-Q101 qualification; differs only in revision code (A vs B) and tape/reel packaging (7" vs 7" with different carrier specs). | No functional difference; suitable for same automotive and industrial designs requiring RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-rated TVS. | Select SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H for latest revision and documented B/H tape configuration per Vishay ordering guide. |
| SMCJ3V3AHE3_A/H | Higher PPPM (1500 W), larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; same VWM (3.3 V), VBR (3.67–4.06 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification. | Used where higher surge energy handling is required (e.g., 12 V system inputs); not drop-in due to larger footprint and thermal mass. | Choose SMCJ3V3AHE3_A/H only if 600 W is insufficient and PCB layout allows SMC pad expansion. |
Compared with SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H, SMBJ3V3AHE3_A/H offers identical protection performance with minor packaging revision differences, while SMCJ3V3AHE3_A/H provides 2.5× higher surge capacity at the cost of board space and thermal response speed - making SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H optimal for space-constrained 3.3 V rail protection where 600 W suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 8.1 V when subjected to its peak pulse current (IPPM) of 57.5 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 and Table 1 in Vishay Document 88392 and ensures protected circuits remain within safe operating limits during surge events. The SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H maintains consistent clamping performance across its qualified temperature range.
Is SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HE3" and documentation in Revision 09-Jan-2024 of Document 88392. It undergoes stress testing including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - making it suitable for under-hood and cabin modules. The SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H meets automotive-grade reliability requirements without derating.
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) and why is it critical for SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H placement?
The standoff voltage (VWM) of SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H is 3.3 V - the maximum DC or continuous reverse voltage the device blocks without significant leakage. This matches standard 3.3 V logic rails, ensuring the SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H remains non-conductive during normal operation while triggering promptly during overvoltage. Exceeding VWM risks premature conduction and increased power dissipation, so SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H must be placed only on circuits operating ≤3.3 V nominal.
Does SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H have polarity markings, and how is it oriented on the PCB?
Yes, SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H is unidirectional and marked with a cathode band on the package body. During PCB layout, the cathode (banded end) must connect to the line being protected (e.g., 3.3 V rail), and the anode to ground. Incorrect orientation renders the SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H ineffective for reverse-transient suppression and may cause forward conduction failure. The SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H pinout follows standard DO-214AA polarity conventions.
What thermal derating applies to SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H above 25 °C ambient?
SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H exhibits linear thermal derating above 25 °C ambient, based on its RθJA of 100 °C/W and maximum junction temperature of +150 °C. For example, at 75 °C ambient, its peak pulse power must be reduced to 400 W (600 W × [1 − (75 − 25)/125]). Derating curves are provided in Figure 2 of Vishay Document 88392. The SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H requires no additional heatsinking on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
