Product details
Overview
SMBJ45AHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 45 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 50.0–55.3 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 72.7 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 8.3 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ45AHE3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ45AHE3_B/H pinout, SMBJ45AHE3_B/H application, or SMBJ45AHE3_B/H equivalent, this part is selected for robust overvoltage protection where fast response (<1 ps), low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45), AEC-Q101 qualification, and RoHS-compliant matte tin terminations are required in automotive and industrial designs.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, leveraging a glass-passivated silicon junction to achieve sub-nanosecond response and stable breakdown under repetitive surge conditions. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W) and junction temperature range (–55 °C to +150 °C) support operation in high-ambient environments when mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
The device complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 for surge protection and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. The cathode band marking identifies polarity, and its 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at VWM ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 45 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe working margin for 36–42 V nominal systems. |
| VBR min/max | 50.0 V / 55.3 V at IT = 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown window ensures predictable turn-on across production lots and temperature. |
| VC @ IPPM | 72.7 V at 8.3 A - Clamping voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; limits downstream voltage stress to <73 V under worst-case 600 W transient. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability with 0.01% duty cycle; supports repeated lightning/surge events per IEC 61000-4-5. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Non-repetitive forward surge rating (8.3 ms half-sine); enables protection against inductive switch-off spikes in DC motor drives. |
| Junction Temp | –55 °C to +150 °C - Full operational range allows deployment in under-hood automotive or industrial control cabinets without derating. |
| Leakage @ VWM | 1.0 µA max - Ultra-low reverse current preserves battery life and avoids false triggering in low-power sensor nodes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Cathode identified by molded band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / Surge return path | Connected to ground or low-impedance return plane; carries full surge current during clamping event. |
| Cathode | Protected line connection / Clamp reference | Connected to line being protected (e.g., 48 V rail); voltage referenced to anode during avalanche conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics requiring reliability under thermal cycling and vibration. |
| 600 W peak pulse power | Withstands IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV line-to-line) without degradation when properly mounted on recommended copper pads. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45) | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during fast transients, reducing risk of gate oxide damage in protected MOSFETs and ICs. |
| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Enables standard SMT reflow without baking; compatible with high-volume automated assembly lines using 260 °C peak profile. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures long-term stability of VBR and leakage performance across humidity, temperature, and lifetime stress tests. |

The SMBJ45AHE3_B/H has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 50.0 V to 55.3 V at test current IT = 1 mA, per Vishay Document 88392 Rev. 09-Jan-2024. This ±5.5% tolerance ensures reliable turn-on across manufacturing lots and temperature extremes, critical for consistent overvoltage protection in safety-critical systems.
Is SMBJ45AHE3_B/H suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No - SMBJ45AHE3_B/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, marked with a cathode band and intended for DC rail or polarized signal protection. For bidirectional applications such as AC lines or differential buses, use the CA-suffix variant (e.g., SMBJ45CA) which provides symmetrical clamping in both directions.
Does SMBJ45AHE3_B/H require a heatsink in typical applications?
No external heatsink is required for SMBJ45AHE3_B/H under standard surge conditions. Its RθJA = 100 °C/W assumes mounting on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per datasheet Fig. 2. Continuous power dissipation is limited to 5.0 W; thermal design focuses on PCB copper area rather than added heatsinking.
What is the surge current rating of SMBJ45AHE3_B/H at 10/1000 µs waveform?
At the standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential surge waveform, SMBJ45AHE3_B/H delivers 8.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) corresponding to its 600 W peak pulse power rating. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of Vishay Document 88392 and applies at TA = 25 °C with proper PCB layout.
How does the AEC-Q101 qualification impact SMBJ45AHE3_B/H usage in automotive designs?
The AEC-Q101 qualification of SMBJ45AHE3_B/H validates its reliability for automotive applications including powertrain, chassis, and body electronics. It confirms passing stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and surge endurance - enabling direct use in production ECUs without additional qualification effort by the system integrator.
