Product details
Overview
SMBJ45CHE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed to protect sensitive electronics against voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lightning surges. 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.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ45CHE3/52 datasheet, SMBJ45CHE3/52 pinout, SMBJ45CHE3/52 application, or SMBJ45CHE3/52 equivalent, this device is selected for robust overvoltage protection on DC power rails and signal lines in automotive-grade industrial systems where AEC-Q101 qualification, low clamping ratio, and fast response time are critical.
Technical Context
The SMBJ45CHE3/52 operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, conducting only in reverse bias above its breakdown threshold to clamp transient energy into ground. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and long-term reliability under repetitive surge stress.
It delivers 72.7 V clamping voltage at 8.3 A IPPM (10/1000 µs), yielding a clamping ratio of 1.62 - indicating strong suppression efficiency relative to its 45 V working voltage. Thermal resistance is rated at 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead), supporting operation up to +150 °C junction temperature.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ45AHE3/52 | Same electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; differs only in ordering suffix (HE3 vs. HE3/52 denotes tape-and-reel packaging variant). | No functional difference; identical performance and mounting. | Select SMBJ45AHE3/52 if sourcing from distributors using base-P/N-only inventory systems. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ45CHE3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ45CHE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 72.7 V at 8.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the highest voltage imposed on the protected circuit during a standardized surge event and is confirmed in Vishay's datasheet Document Number 88392, page 2.
Is SMBJ45CHE3/52 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ45CHE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HE3" suffix in its part number. This certification validates its reliability under automotive-grade temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity testing - making it suitable for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What does the "/52" suffix mean in SMBJ45CHE3/52?
The "/52" suffix in SMBJ45CHE3/52 specifies packaging: 750 units per 7-inch diameter plastic tape-and-reel. This format is optimized for high-speed SMT placement equipment and aligns with industry-standard JEDEC carrier dimensions for SMB (DO-214AA) devices.
How does SMBJ45CHE3/52 differ from bidirectional variants like SMBJ45CHE3/52CA?
SMBJ45CHE3/52 is unidirectional and protects against positive-going transients only, with polarity marked by a cathode band. Bidirectional versions (e.g., SMBJ45CHE3/52CA) suppress surges in both directions and lack polarity marking - used where AC-coupled or differential signal lines require symmetrical clamping.
What is the maximum operating temperature for SMBJ45CHE3/52?
The SMBJ45CHE3/52 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +150 °C and an operating storage temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C. Its thermal resistance (RθJA) is 100 °C/W, so PCB layout with adequate copper pour is essential to maintain safe junction temperatures under sustained power dissipation.
