Product details
Overview
SMBJ45HE3/5B 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 SMBJ45HE3/5B datasheet, SMBJ45HE3/5B pinout, SMBJ45HE3/5B application, or SMBJ45HE3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and compliance with UL 497B surge protector classification.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a fast-acting shunt clamp during overvoltage events, leveraging a glass-passivated silicon junction to achieve sub-nanosecond response time. Its unidirectional configuration provides reverse-biased transient suppression while allowing forward conduction up to 3.5 V at 50 A.
The device is rated for 600 W peak pulse power under 10/1000 µs waveform with 0.01 % duty cycle, and supports repetitive surge handling when thermally managed on ≥5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal. It meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020 and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 45 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates; defines safe operating margin below breakdown. |
| VBR (min/max) | 50.0 V / 55.3 V at IT = 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range; ensures predictable turn-on during transients. |
| VC @ IPPM | 72.7 V at 8.3 A - Clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs surge; determines downstream component stress. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak transient energy absorption capability; enables protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Non-repetitive forward surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine); supports inrush or fault-current tolerance. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; sets thermal design limits for PCB layout and power derating. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; requires minimum 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad per lead for full rating. |
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 indicated by band marking; anode is unmarked end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink node | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground during overvoltage event. |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference/return path | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return; completes clamping path during reverse transient. |

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-E3/5B | Commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), same VWM/VC/PPPM, identical SMB package and pinout. | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. | Select SMBJ45A-E3/5B for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications requiring identical electrical performance. |
| SMAJ45AHE3/A | Lower 400 W PPPM, SMA (DO-214AC) package, 10% smaller footprint, higher RθJA (140 °C/W). | Reduced surge margin; requires tighter thermal design; not drop-in due to different pad layout and lower power rating. | Choose SMAJ45AHE3/A only if board space is constrained and surge threat level is limited to IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2. |
Compared with SMBJ45A-E3/5B, SMBJ45HE3/5B adds AEC-Q101 qualification without electrical trade-offs; versus SMAJ45AHE3/A, it delivers 50% higher surge power handling and superior thermal performance in the same mounting orientation but requires larger PCB area.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ45HE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ45HE3/5B 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 per JEDEC test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events. The SMBJ45HE3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ45HE3/5B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ45HE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified and specifically designated for automotive use with suffix "HE3". It undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per AEC-Q101 Rev D, and is commonly deployed in body control modules, infotainment power rails, and sensor interface protection. The SMBJ45HE3/5B meets ISO 7637-2 requirements when applied with appropriate PCB layout.
What is the difference between SMBJ45HE3/5B and SMBJ45A-E3/5B?
The SMBJ45HE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for automotive use, whereas SMBJ45A-E3/5B is commercial-grade with identical electrical specifications (VWM = 45 V, VC = 72.7 V, PPPM = 600 W) and SMB package. Both share the same pinout and thermal characteristics, but SMBJ45HE3/5B includes extended reliability validation and traceability required for Tier 1 automotive supply chains.
Does SMBJ45HE3/5B have bidirectional capability?
No, SMBJ45HE3/5B is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "A" suffix and cathode band marking. Bidirectional variants use the "CA" suffix (e.g., SMBJ45CA). The SMBJ45HE3/5B conducts only in reverse breakdown mode and blocks forward voltage up to 3.5 V at 50 A; it must be oriented with cathode toward the protected line for proper operation.
What is the maximum operating temperature for SMBJ45HE3/5B?
The SMBJ45HE3/5B has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C. Its thermal resistance is RθJA = 100 °C/W when mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal. Derating begins above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in the datasheet, and the SMBJ45HE3/5B remains fully functional within this full industrial temperature envelope.
