Product details
Overview
SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I 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 7.5 V at 38.9 A, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use - deployed on power rails and I/O lines of automotive ECUs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I datasheet, SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I pinout, SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I application, or SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3 V reverse stand-off voltage, 6.4 V minimum breakdown voltage at 1 mA, 7.5 V maximum clamping voltage under 38.9 A surge, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and SMB package thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W).
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-band polarity marking, leveraging a glass-passivated silicon junction for fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its breakdown behavior follows IEEE C62.35 standards, with VBR specified at 1 mA test current and temperature coefficient of +0.057 %/°C.
The SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I is rated for repetitive 10/1000 µs surge waveforms at 0.01 % duty cycle, derated above 25 °C per Fig. 2, and supports peak forward surge current (IFSM) up to 100 A (8.3 ms half-sine). It meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and is RoHS-compliant with matte tin-plated leads.
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 | Commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), same VWM/VBR/VC specs, identical SMB package | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for consumer/industrial designs without AEC requirements | Select when automotive qualification is not required and cost optimization is prioritized |
| SMCJ3V3AHE3_A/H | Higher 1500 W PPPM, larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same VWM/VBR/VC ratings | Used where higher surge margin is needed but PCB layout allows larger footprint | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W and thermal mass permits SMC footprint |
Compared with SMBJ3V3A-E3/52 and SMCJ3V3AHE3_A/H, the SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I uniquely delivers AEC-Q101 compliance in the compact SMB footprint - enabling automotive integration without sacrificing board space or requiring derating for qualification-driven design margins.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 7.5 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 38.9 A, measured using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value ensures protected downstream components - such as 3.3 V MCUs or interface ICs - remain within safe absolute maximum ratings during surge events. The SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I achieves this clamping performance while maintaining low incremental resistance and sub-nanosecond response time.
Is SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HE3" and documentation in datasheet 88392 (Rev. 09-Jan-2024). This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD, making SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I suitable for under-hood and body electronics in passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles. Its qualification status is integral to the part number and verified in production lot traceability.
What does the "_B/I" suffix in SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I indicate?
Per Vishay's ordering information table (page 3), the "_B/I" suffix denotes packaging configuration: "B" indicates tape-and-reel packaging with embossed carrier tape, and "I" specifies 3200 units per 13-inch diameter reel. This format ensures compatibility with high-speed automated placement equipment and supports volume manufacturing. The base "HE3" confirms RoHS compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification, independent of the reel suffix.
Can SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No, SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I is a unidirectional TVS diode, as indicated by its "A" suffix (SMBJ3V3A family) and cathode-band polarity marking. Bidirectional variants use the "CA" suffix (e.g., SMBJ3V3CA). Using SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I in bidirectional applications would result in forward conduction during negative transients, potentially causing failure. For symmetric surge protection, select an explicitly designated bidirectional part - the SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I must be applied with correct anode-cathode orientation relative to the protected rail.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I?
The SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, per datasheet section "THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS". This value assumes no additional heatsinking and defines the steady-state temperature rise under DC power dissipation. For pulsed operation, transient thermal impedance curves (Fig. 5) govern short-duration surge thermal behavior - critical for validating SMBJ3V3HE3_B/I survivability during repetitive transients.
