Product details
Overview
SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping fast-rising ESD and surge transients on power and signal lines. It features 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 3.3 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 5.8 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 29.2 A peak pulse current, and operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature - deployed in automotive sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H pinout, SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H application, or SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and direct replacement guidance for industrial and automotive board-level surge protection design.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for low clamping voltage and sub-nanosecond response time. Its unidirectional polarity enables cathode-grounded placement on DC supply rails, with 0.057 %/°C temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage ensuring stable VBR over temperature.
Rated for 600 W peak pulse power under 10/1000 µs waveform and 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), it meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and supports reflow up to 260 °C peak. The halogen-free, RoHS-compliant HM3 suffix confirms AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 3.3 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 100 µA; sets upper limit for protected line voltage. |
| VBR (min/max) | 3.67 V / 4.06 V at 10 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures reliable turn-on during overvoltage events without premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPPM | 5.8 V at 29.2 A - Clamping voltage under 10/1000 µs surge defines worst-case voltage seen by downstream ICs. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power rating determines survivability against lightning-induced or inductive-switching transients. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Single half-sine surge current rating validates robustness against motor or relay coil turn-off spikes. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-power PCB layouts. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance informs heatsinking requirements when operating near PD = 5.0 W limit. |
Pinout & Package

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/H | Same electrical specs but RoHS-compliant commercial grade (non-AEC-Q101); no halogen-free certification. | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements and halogen-free materials are not required. |
| SMAJ3V3-QH | Lower 400 W PPPM; SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 140 °C/W); same VWM/VC ratings. | Reduced surge handling margin; limited to lower-energy transients in space-constrained consumer PCBs. | Choose only if board area is critical and surge threat level is below IEC 61000-4-5 Line 3 (0.5 kV/0.25 kA). |
Compared with SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H, SMBJ3V3HE3_B/H offers identical clamping performance without AEC-Q101 validation, while SMAJ3V3-QH trades 33 % lower surge capacity and higher thermal resistance for 30 % smaller footprint - making SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H the optimal choice for automotive and high-reliability industrial deployments demanding full 600 W capability and halogen-free compliance.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H?
The SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H has a minimum breakdown voltage (VBR) of 3.67 V and a maximum of 4.06 V at 10 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This tightly controlled range ensures predictable turn-on behavior during overvoltage events while maintaining safe margin below 3.3 V system rails during normal operation. The SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H datasheet specifies these values under TA = 25 °C with derating above ambient.
Is SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H carries the HM3 suffix, indicating halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and full AEC-Q101 qualification. It undergoes stress testing including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and mechanical shock per JESD22 standards. This makes SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H suitable for under-hood and cabin ECU designs where automotive-grade reliability is required.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H at rated surge current?
The SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H clamps to a maximum of 5.8 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 29.2 A under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured with the device mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per JEDEC guidelines. The low VC ensures downstream 3.3 V logic components remain within absolute maximum ratings during surge events.
Can SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, identified by the "A" suffix and cathode band marking. Bidirectional variants use the "CA" suffix (e.g., SMBJ3V3CA). Using SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H in bidirectional signal paths would result in forward conduction during negative transients, causing failure. For AC or differential lines, select a CA-suffixed part or pair unidirectional devices back-to-back.
What is the thermal resistance and power dissipation rating of SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H?
SMBJ3V3HM3_B/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W and a steady-state power dissipation (PD) rating of 5.0 W at TA = 50 °C on an infinite heatsink. Derating applies above 50 °C ambient, per Figure 2 in the Vishay datasheet. These values inform PCB copper area design and thermal management for sustained surge duty cycles.
