Product details
Overview
SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features 45 V standoff 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 - deployed on signal lines and power rails in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H pinout, SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H application, or SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H equivalent, this device serves as a high-reliability, AEC-Q101-qualified transient suppressor for automotive-grade and industrial-grade circuits requiring stable clamping performance under repetitive surge events and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM).
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically in both polarities, delivering identical electrical characteristics across reverse and forward directions. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior, low incremental surge resistance, and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD, lightning-induced transients, and inductive switching spikes.
The device is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. Its thermal resistance (RθJA) is 100 °C/W, and it supports 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) for unidirectional variants - though SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H is bidirectional and thus excludes IFSM specification.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 72.7 V at 8.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and guarantees predictable overvoltage limiting for protected ICs and MOSFETs in real-world surge events. The SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range (-55 °C to +150 °C).
Is SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designated for automotive use with suffix "HE3" indicating RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101-qualified construction. It undergoes rigorous stress testing including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock - making it appropriate for engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS sensor interfaces where reliability under harsh conditions is mandatory. The SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H meets all applicable automotive qualification requirements per the Vishay documentation.
How does the bidirectional configuration of SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H affect its circuit implementation?
The bidirectional configuration of SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H means it provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities - eliminating the need for polarity-aware placement or external series diodes. This simplifies layout on AC-coupled lines, differential buses (e.g., RS-485, CAN), or ungrounded power rails. Unlike unidirectional variants, SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H has no cathode marking and functions identically regardless of voltage polarity, reducing assembly errors and enabling universal placement in dual-rail or floating systems.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H at its standoff voltage?
The SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at its 45 V standoff voltage (VWM) and 25 °C ambient temperature. This ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor paths and minimizes standby power loss in battery-operated systems. Leakage remains below 5.0 µA up to +125 °C, ensuring stable performance across industrial operating ranges. The SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H achieves this via glass-passivated junction technology and tight process control.
Does SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H require special PCB layout considerations compared to other SMB-packaged TVS diodes?
No special layout is required beyond the standard SMB (DO-214AA) footprint: 0.220" × 0.155" pad dimensions with 0.086" center-to-center terminal spacing. However, optimal surge performance demands minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal to meet the 600 W rating per Vishay's test condition. Thermal relief and short, low-inductance traces to ground/power planes are recommended. The SMBJ45CAHE3_B/H shares identical mechanical dimensions and soldering profile with all SMBJ-series devices, enabling drop-in compatibility in existing layouts.
