Product details
Overview
SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the 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 38.7 A peak pulse current, and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range - deployed on power rails and signal lines in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I datasheet, SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I pinout, SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I application, or SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification status, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant sourcing details - all specific to the HM3_B/I variant with 13" tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast response (<1 ps) to ESD and lightning-induced transients. Its unidirectional polarity enables integration into DC-biased circuits where reverse conduction must be blocked until clamping threshold is exceeded.
The device meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), with thermal resistance RθJA = 100 °C/W on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads - enabling reliable operation under repetitive surge conditions when properly heatsinked.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 3.3 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; sets minimum system supply margin for safe operation |
| VBR (min) | 3.67 V at 1 mA - guaranteed breakdown initiation point; ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events |
| VC @ IPPM | 7.5 V at 38.7 A - clamped voltage during 600 W transient; defines worst-case stress on downstream ICs |
| PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 µs waveform) - peak surge energy handling capacity; supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance |
| IFSM | 100 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - single-event surge current limit; validates robustness against inductive switch-off spikes |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables use in high-ambient environments like motor drives and automotive ECUs |
| MSL Level | Level 1 (J-STD-020) - no floor life limitation; supports standard SMT reflow without dry-pack requirements |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102. Cathode indicated by band marking; anode is unmarked end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., GND or return path); blocks reverse current until VBR exceeded |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; marked end | Connected to protected line (e.g., 3.3 V rail or signal input); conducts surge current to ground during clamping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power | Handles IEC 61000-4-5 surge waveforms up to Level 4 without degradation - critical for industrial fieldbus and PoE-powered devices |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing - suitable for body control modules and ADAS sensors |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant (HM3) | Meets IPC-1752A material declaration requirements and EU Directive 2011/65/EU - supports green manufacturing and export compliance |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes VC overshoot during fast-rising transients (<1 ns rise time), reducing risk of latch-up in CMOS ICs |
| Fast response time | Sub-nanosecond junction response ensures clamping activation before transient energy couples into protected circuitry |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ3V3A-E3/52 | Commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free; same VWM, VBR, and PPPM | Lacks automotive qualification and whisker resistance certification; suitable for consumer or industrial non-automotive designs | Select when AEC-Q101 and halogen-free compliance are not required; lower cost and broader distributor availability |
| SAC3V3 | Same VWM and VC, but lower PPPM (300 W), smaller SOD-323 package, higher RθJA (250 °C/W) | Not suitable for high-energy surges or high-ambient thermal environments; limited to low-power portable electronics | Choose only for space-constrained PCBs where 300 W surge immunity suffices and thermal management is tightly controlled |
Compared with SMBJ3V3A-E3/52, SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I adds AEC-Q101 qualification and halogen-free construction for automotive use; compared with SAC3V3, it delivers double the surge power handling and superior thermal performance in SMB package - making it the only option meeting both industrial surge and automotive reliability requirements.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 7.5 V at 38.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a 600 W transient event and is confirmed in Vishay's Document Number 88392, Table on page 2. The SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HM3" suffix (halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101 qualified). It undergoes rigorous stress testing including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD per AEC-Q101 Rev D. This makes SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I suitable for automotive body electronics, infotainment power rails, and ADAS sensor protection - unlike commercial variants such as SMBJ3V3A-E3/52.
What does the "_B/I" suffix mean in SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I?
The "_B/I" suffix in SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I denotes packaging configuration: "B" indicates the base ordering code revision (e.g., revision B of the HM3 specification), and "I" specifies 13-inch diameter plastic tape-and-reel packaging with 3200 units per reel. This matches Vishay's Ordering Information table on page 3 of Document 88392 and ensures compatibility with high-volume SMT assembly lines using standard 13" feeders.
Can SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I be used in bidirectional signal line protection?
No, SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I is a unidirectional TVS diode - its cathode band marking and electrical characteristics (e.g., forward voltage drop, no symmetrical VBR) confirm it is intended only for DC-biased or polarity-defined applications. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential buses), Vishay specifies CA-suffix parts like SMBJ3V3CA; using SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I on bidirectional signals would result in unintended forward conduction and failure.
What is the thermal resistance and recommended pad layout for SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I?
SMBJ3V3HM3_B/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, as defined in Vishay's thermal characteristics table (page 3, Document 88392). Deviation from this pad size increases RθJA, reducing surge current capability - especially critical for repetitive surge scenarios or high-ambient-temperature deployments.
