Product details

Overview

SMBJ45CHE3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in 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 SMBJ45CHE3/5B datasheet, SMBJ45CHE3/5B pinout, SMBJ45CHE3/5B application, or SMBJ45CHE3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 8.3 A surge, unidirectional polarity for DC rail protection, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.

Technical Context

This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VWM = 45 V, it avalanches into low-impedance conduction to divert transient energy away from downstream ICs or MOSFETs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM).

The device delivers 72.7 V clamping at 8.3 A (10/1000 µs), with thermal resistance RθJA = 100 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W, enabling reliable operation up to TJ = +150 °C. The cathode band marking identifies polarity, and the matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 solderability standards.

Key Specifications

Parameter Value and Actual Design Meaning
VWM 45 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail protection threshold.
VBR (min/max) 50.0 V / 55.3 V at IT = 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures predictable turn-on across temperature and unit variation.
VC @ IPPM 72.7 V at 8.3 A - Measured clamping voltage under 10/1000 µs surge; limits stress on protected circuitry during transients.
PPPM 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; supports robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges.
IFSM 100 A - Non-repetitive forward surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine); validates survivability during high-energy fault events.
TJ max. +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables deployment in under-hood automotive and industrial environments.
Package SMB (DO-214AA) - Standardized surface-mount outline with 0.205" × 0.130" footprint; compatible with IPC-7351B land patterns.

Pinout & Package

Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads; polarity indicated by cathode band on one end. Mounting requires 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal per Vishay's recommended layout.

Pin/Terminal Circuit Role Design Meaning
Anode Forward current entry / transient return path Connected to ground or low-impedance return plane; completes clamping loop during surge events.
Cathode Protected line connection / transient sensing node Connected to the line being protected (e.g., 45 V supply rail); avalanche conduction initiates here when VWM is exceeded.

Key Features

Feature Design Value
AEC-Q101 qualified Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and ADAS sensors; meets stress test requirements for temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD.
600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) Provides immunity to high-energy transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a/b and IEC 61000-4-5 Combination Wave (1.2/50 µs + 8/20 µs).
Glass passivated junction Ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) over lifetime and temperature (-55 °C to +150 °C).
MSL Level 1 (J-STD-020) Supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C peak without moisture-induced failure; eliminates bake requirement prior to assembly.
RoHS-compliant & halogen-free option HE3 suffix denotes RoHS compliance; HM3 suffix adds halogen-free molding compound - satisfies automotive OEM material declarations (IMDS, ELV).

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.

Alternative Part Technical Difference Application Difference Selection Advice
SMBJ45AHE3/5B Same electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; differs only in base P/N suffix formatting (no 'C' in part number - confirms unidirectional variant). No functional difference; identical use cases in automotive and industrial power rail protection. Select SMBJ45AHE3/5B if sourcing from distributors listing the base family without 'C' suffix; electrically interchangeable.
SMCJ45AHE3/5B Same VWM, VBR, and VC, but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package with 1500 W PPPM rating and higher IPPM (13.3 A). Better suited for higher-energy surge environments (e.g., main AC/DC input stages); requires larger PCB footprint and thermal relief. Choose SMCJ45AHE3/5B when system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W requirements or when board space allows larger package for margin.

Compared with SMBJ45CHE3/5B, SMBJ45AHE3/5B offers identical protection performance in the same SMB footprint, while SMCJ45AHE3/5B trades compactness for 2.5× higher surge capacity - enabling design flexibility between space-constrained and high-robustness implementations.

FAQ

What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ45CHE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?

The SMBJ45CHE3/5B 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 and guaranteed per Vishay's datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024 (Document Number: 88392), ensuring predictable overvoltage limiting for protected circuits during surge events. The SMBJ45CHE3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.

Is SMBJ45CHE3/5B qualified for automotive applications?

Yes, SMBJ45CHE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code structure ("HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified variants). It undergoes rigorous stress testing including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and ESD verification to meet automotive reliability standards. The SMBJ45CHE3/5B is routinely deployed in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules where transient immunity and long-term stability are critical.

What does the "HE3/5B" suffix mean in SMBJ45CHE3/5B?

The "HE3" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification; "5B" specifies packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with a base quantity of 3200 units. This format aligns with Vishay's standardized ordering nomenclature documented in the SMBJ5.0A–SMBJ188A datasheet (Section "ORDERING INFORMATION"). The SMBJ45CHE3/5B thus combines automotive-grade reliability with high-volume SMT-ready packaging.

How does SMBJ45CHE3/5B differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBJ45CHE3/5B?

SMBJ45CHE3/5B is unidirectional and features a cathode band marking; it conducts only in reverse bias above VBR, making it ideal for DC rail protection. Bidirectional variants (e.g., SMBJ45CHE3/5B with "CA" suffix) conduct symmetrically in both directions and lack polarity marking - used for AC lines or differential signal protection. The SMBJ45CHE3/5B's unidirectional behavior ensures zero forward voltage drop during normal operation and avoids unintended conduction on positive-going transients.

What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ45CHE3/5B, and how does it affect PCB layout?

The SMBJ45CHE3/5B has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W and junction-to-lead resistance (RθJL) of 20 °C/W, measured on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads. To maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C under sustained 5.0 W power dissipation, designers must provide adequate copper area and avoid thermal bottlenecks. The SMBJ45CHE3/5B datasheet explicitly references this pad layout for all ratings - deviating reduces surge endurance and long-term reliability.
