Product details
Overview
SMBJ45D-M3/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), 50.8–54.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 71.6 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 8.4 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 SMBJ45D-M3/H datasheet, SMBJ45D-M3/H pinout, SMBJ45D-M3/H application, or SMBJ45D-M3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, ±3.5 % VBR tolerance, low leakage (<0.5 μA at VWM), MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction per JESD 201 Class 2 whisker test.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold. Its silicon avalanche structure enables sub-nanosecond response time and low dynamic impedance, ensuring effective suppression of ESD, lightning-induced surges, and inductive switching spikes.
The SMBJ45D-M3/H is rated for junction temperatures from –55 °C to +150 °C, with thermal resistance RθJA = 125 °C/W (on minimum pad layout) and RθJM = 20 °C/W. It meets UL 497B recognition (QVGQ2) and complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 surge standards for telecom and industrial equipment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 45 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; defines safe operating margin for 48 V DC systems. |
| VBR min/max | 50.8 V / 54.5 V at 1 mA - tight ±3.5 % tolerance ensures predictable turn-on across production lots. |
| VC @ IPPM | 71.6 V at 8.4 A - clamping voltage during 10/1000 μs surge; limits stress on downstream 5 V or 3.3 V logic rails. |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling capability under standard 10/1000 μs waveform at 0.01 % duty cycle. |
| ID @ VWM | <0.5 μA - ultra-low reverse leakage preserves efficiency in battery-powered or high-impedance sensing circuits. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with 2.20 mm height and 5.59 mm length; optimized for automated placement. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - cathode indicated by band; blocks forward current and clamps reverse transients only. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability rating; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards; M3 suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, industrial-grade construction with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., GND or return path); conducts during forward bias but not relevant in normal TVS operation. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Reverse conduction / clamping terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 48 V rail); avalanche conduction initiates here when reverse voltage exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±3.5 % VBR tolerance | Enables precise coordination with system overvoltage thresholds without derating margin inflation. |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Supports robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV/2 Ω) surges in industrial control inputs. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow) | Allows single-pass lead-free reflow assembly without preconditioning or baking requirements. |
| <0.5 μA ID at VWM | Minimizes standby power loss in always-on monitoring circuits and extends battery life in portable sensors. |
| UL 497B recognized (QVGQ2) | Validates suitability for telecom and data line protection without additional safety certification effort. |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamp placed between input rail and ground to limit transient overshoot below MOSFET drain-source breakdown. Use Value: Clamps 600 W surges to ≤71.6 V, preventing damage to upstream rectifier diodes and downstream DC-DC controllers. |
Use Scenario: 12 V supply line feeding microcontroller and CAN transceiver in BCM, subject to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on main VBAT rail, coordinated with fuse and LC filter for fast-acting energy diversion. Use Value: Sub-ns response captures edge of 50 ns rise-time pulses; low clamping voltage preserves 12 V rail integrity for 5 V LDO input. |
| Telecom Ethernet Port Surge Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Secondary protection on PoE-powered Ethernet PHY interface, downstream of gas discharge tube (GDT) primary stage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response secondary clamp limiting residual voltage after GDT fires; placed on each data pair (MDI/MDIX). Use Value: 71.6 V VC ensures PHY I/O pins remain within absolute maximum ratings during combined lightning + GDT follow-on current events. |
Use Scenario: 4–20 mA current loop transmitter output connected to field wiring in hazardous area instrumentation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS on loop output (V+ side), referenced to local ground, guarding analog front-end op-amps and ADC inputs. Use Value: Low leakage (<0.5 μA) avoids injection error into precision 4–20 mA calibration; SMB footprint fits dense PCB layouts near connectors. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ45A-M3/H | Bidirectional variant; symmetrical VBR (50.8–54.5 V) in both polarities; no polarity marking band. | Required where AC-coupled or dual-polarity signal lines (e.g., RS-485, CAN bus) need protection without polarity constraints. | Select SMBJ45A-M3/H only if bidirectional clamping is explicitly required; SMBJ45D-M3/H offers lower cost and simpler layout for DC rails. |
| SMCJ45A | Larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; same electrical specs but higher thermal mass (RθJA = 60 °C/W) and 1500 W PPPM rating. | Suitable for higher-energy surge environments (e.g., outdoor telecom cabinets) where board space allows larger footprint. | Choose SMCJ45A only when 600 W is insufficient and PCB layout accommodates 7.11 mm × 6.22 mm SMC outline; SMBJ45D-M3/H optimizes space-constrained designs. |
Compared with SMBJ45A-M3/H and SMCJ45A, the SMBJ45D-M3/H provides optimal balance of compact SMB footprint, precise unidirectional clamping, and verified 600 W surge handling - making it ideal for space-limited 48 V DC input stages where polarity is fixed and energy levels are moderate.

The SMBJ45D-M3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 71.6 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 8.4 A, measured under the standard 10/1000 μs double-exponential surge waveform. This value ensures protected circuitry remains within safe operating limits during transient events, and is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 87606, Table on page 2.
Does SMBJ45D-M3/H meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, SMBJ45D-M3/H carries the M3 suffix, indicating full compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, halogen-free construction (per IEC 61249-2-21), and industrial-grade qualification including JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The molding compound also meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ45D-M3/H when mounted on the minimum recommended pad layout?
When mounted on the minimum recommended copper pad layout (as defined in the Vishay SMBJ datasheet), the SMBJ45D-M3/H exhibits a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 125 °C/W. This value is critical for calculating safe power derating above 25 °C ambient temperature.
Can SMBJ45D-M3/H be used in bidirectional signal line protection?
No - SMBJ45D-M3/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, identified by the "D" suffix and cathode band marking. For bidirectional protection (e.g., on AC-coupled or differential lines like RS-485), the SMBJ45A-M3/H (with "A" suffix and no polarity band) must be used instead.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SMBJ45D-M3/H at its 45 V stand-off voltage?
The SMBJ45D-M3/H specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 0.5 μA at its rated stand-off voltage (VWM) of 45 V, measured at TA = 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage supports energy-sensitive applications such as battery-backed sensors and always-on monitoring circuits.
