Product details
Overview
SMBJ5.0D-M3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for primary overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 5.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 6.5–6.97 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 10 mA, 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), clamping voltage of 9.1 V at 65.9 A, and ≤500 μA reverse leakage at VWM - deployed in consumer power adapters and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ5.0D-M3/I datasheet, SMBJ5.0D-M3/I pinout, SMBJ5.0D-M3/I application, or SMBJ5.0D-M3/I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, polarity marking guidance, thermal derating behavior, bidirectional variant comparison, and OEM supply support for ESD/surge-critical designs.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-band polarity marking, optimized for fast response (<1 ns) to transients induced by inductive switching or lightning surges. Its low incremental surge resistance and tight ±3.5 % VBR tolerance ensure consistent clamping across production lots.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 125 °C/W (on minimum pad layout) and RθJM = 20 °C/W, supporting operation up to TJ = 150 °C. Power dissipation is rated at 1.0 W at TA = 25 °C and derates linearly above that temperature per Fig. 5.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 5.0 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant conduction begins |
| VBR min/max | 6.50 V / 6.97 V at IT = 10 mA - tight breakdown window ensures predictable turn-on during transients |
| VC @ IPPM | 9.1 V at 65.9 A - clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during 600 W surge events |
| PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 μs waveform) - defines single-pulse energy handling capability under standardized surge test |
| ID @ VWM | ≤500 μA - low leakage preserves efficiency in battery-powered or high-impedance circuits |
| TJ max | 150 °C - junction temperature limit enabling use in enclosed industrial enclosures without forced cooling |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - surface-mount outline with 2.20 mm × 3.94 mm footprint and M3 halogen-free, RoHS-compliant finish |

Use Scenario: Protects 5 V microcontroller supply in BCM modules exposed to ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a/5a transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS referenced to chassis ground, absorbing negative-going transients on switched 5 V rail. Use Value: 150 °C max junction temperature supports under-hood ambient conditions; M3 halogen-free compliance meets automotive material specs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ5.0CD-M3/I | Bidirectional variant; symmetric VBR (6.5–6.97 V) and VC (9.1 V) in both polarities; no cathode band | Required for AC-coupled or floating signal lines (e.g., RS-485, CAN bus) where polarity reversal occurs | Select SMBJ5.0CD-M3/I only when protecting bidirectional signals; SMBJ5.0D-M3/I is preferred for DC rails with defined ground reference |
| SMAJ5.0A-M3/84A | Lower PPPM (400 W), higher VC (13.4 V at 30 A), SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 150 °C/W) | Suitable for space-constrained, lower-energy environments (e.g., portable electronics); not recommended for industrial 600 W surge compliance | Choose SMAJ5.0A-M3/84A only if board area is critical and surge threat level is below IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3; SMBJ5.0D-M3/I provides superior clamping and thermal robustness |
Compared with SMBJ5.0CD-M3/I and SMAJ5.0A-M3/84A, the SMBJ5.0D-M3/I delivers optimal balance of 600 W surge capacity, 9.1 V clamping, and SMB thermal performance for unidirectional 5 V rail protection - making it the default choice for industrial and automotive power interface designs requiring repeatable, high-energy transient suppression.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMBJ5.0D-M3/I?
The SMBJ5.0D-M3/I is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode indicated by a band on the SMB package body. During normal operation, it blocks current flow from cathode to anode up to 5.0 V; when a positive transient exceeds ~6.5 V, it conducts from anode to cathode to clamp the voltage. This configuration prevents conduction on negative-going transients unless paired with complementary devices.
Does SMBJ5.0D-M3/I meet automotive AEC-Q200 requirements?
No - SMBJ5.0D-M3/I is qualified as industrial grade (M3 suffix) and meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and MSL Level 1 reflow, but it is not AEC-Q200 stress-tested or certified. For automotive applications, Vishay offers the AEC-Q200-qualified SMBJ5.0A-Q series; SMBJ5.0D-M3/I is intended for industrial, consumer, and telecom equipment where extended temperature and surge performance are prioritized over automotive qualification.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ5.0D-M3/I under surge conditions?
The SMBJ5.0D-M3/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 9.1 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 65.9 A, tested with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed per datasheet Table 1 and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by downstream circuitry during a full 600 W surge event - critical for ensuring compatibility with 5 V logic families and USB PHYs.
Can SMBJ5.0D-M3/I be used in place of SMBJ5.0CD-M3/I?
No - SMBJ5.0D-M3/I is unidirectional and requires correct polarity orientation (cathode to protected line), while SMBJ5.0CD-M3/I is bidirectional and symmetrical in both directions. Substituting SMBJ5.0D-M3/I for SMBJ5.0CD-M3/I on AC-coupled or floating lines will result in improper clamping during negative transients and possible device failure. They serve distinct circuit roles and are not interchangeable without schematic and layout review.
What PCB pad layout is recommended for optimal thermal performance of SMBJ5.0D-M3/I?
Vishay specifies a minimum copper pad layout of 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm per terminal for SMBJ5.0D-M3/I to achieve the rated 1.0 W power dissipation at TA = 25 °C. Smaller pads increase thermal resistance (RθJA up to 125 °C/W), reducing safe operating area. The datasheet Figure 5 shows derating curves - for example, at 70 °C ambient, maximum continuous power drops to ~0.6 W with minimum pads, necessitating layout optimization for high-power or high-temperature deployments.
