Product details
Overview
SMBJ5.0H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, rated for 600W peak pulse power, 5.0V working stand-off voltage (VWM), and 9.6V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 800A peak impulse current. It protects automotive and industrial power rails against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ5.0H datasheet, SMBJ5.0H pinout, SMBJ5.0H application, or SMBJ5.0H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance values, clamping performance under 10/1000µs waveform, and bidirectional variant compatibility guidance.
Technical Context
The SMBJ5.0H employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast transient response (<1.0ps) and low leakage (<5.0µA at VWM). Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction path with VF = 3.5V at 50A, enabling robust surge handling in DC power lines.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, it meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements and supports moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020. Thermal performance is characterized by RθJC = 10°C/W and RθJA = 55°C/W, supporting operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature.

Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 5V supply line feeding engine control unit (ECU) sensors exposed to alternator load dump and relay switching noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between 5V rail and chassis ground to clamp transients before reaching sensor analog front-end. Use Value: Limits voltage excursion to ≤9.6V during 800A surge, preserving ADC reference integrity and preventing latch-up in 5V microcontrollers. | Use Scenario: RS-485 transceiver bus lines in factory automation PLCs subjected to ESD events and motor drive coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SMBJ5.0H used on VCC pin of isolated RS-485 IC to suppress common-mode surges entering via power domain. Use Value: Sub-10V clamping prevents internal LDO dropout and maintains bias stability for differential receiver operation during fast transients. |
| LED Driver Input Protection | USB-C Power Delivery Line Guard |
Use Scenario: Constant-current LED driver input stage powered from 5V USB source in automotive interior lighting modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed across input capacitor to absorb hot-plug transients and cable discharge events. Use Value: With 5.0V VWM and 9.6V VC, it avoids false triggering during normal 5V operation while clamping >10V spikes within safe margin for driver IC inputs. | Use Scenario: VBUS line protection in USB-C PD sink applications where 5V negotiation phase precedes higher-voltage contracts. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SMBJ5.0H guards the 5V-only PD contract stage, placed upstream of buck converter input. Use Value: Ensures <5µA leakage at 5V does not interfere with CC logic detection, while clamping ESD strikes per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±15kV air). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ5.0AH | Narrower VBR range (6.40–7.00 V vs. 6.40–7.30 V); same VWM, VC = 9.2 V | Lower clamping voltage improves margin for 5V logic but tighter VBR may increase risk of nuisance conduction near VWM | Select SMBJ5.0AH when absolute minimum clamping is critical and system tolerates tighter breakdown distribution. |
| SMCJ5.0A | Higher PPK (1500W), larger DO-214AB (SMC) package, VC = 9.2 V, VBR = 6.40–7.00 V | Supports higher energy surges but requires larger PCB footprint and has higher parasitic inductance | Choose SMCJ5.0A only when 600W is insufficient and layout allows DO-214AB footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ5.0AH, the SMBJ5.0H offers wider VBR tolerance for robustness in high-temperature production environments; versus SMCJ5.0A, it delivers space-constrained 600W protection without sacrificing clamping performance or requiring rework of existing SMB footprints.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ5.0H under standard 10/1000µs surge conditions?
The SMBJ5.0H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 9.6 V when subjected to an 800 A peak impulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25°C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ5.0H maintains this clamping performance across its specified junction temperature range, making it suitable for 5V rail protection in thermally demanding environments.
Is SMBJ5.0H suitable for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, SMBJ5.0H is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not rated for bidirectional operation. For bipolar applications, Taiwan Semiconductor specifies variants with "CH" or "CAH" suffixes (e.g., SMBJ5.0CH). Using SMBJ5.0H in reverse-biased configurations beyond its specified reverse standoff voltage risks permanent junction damage. Always verify polarity alignment during PCB layout-cathode must connect to the protected line.
Does SMBJ5.0H meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SMBJ5.0H is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling (TC), unbiased highly accelerated stress test (UHAST), and human-body-model ESD. Its DO-214AA package also meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1, supporting lead-free reflow without popcorn cracking. These qualifications confirm suitability for under-hood and cabin automotive modules.
What is the forward voltage drop of SMBJ5.0H at rated surge current?
The SMBJ5.0H exhibits a forward voltage (VF) of 3.5 V at 50 A, per the datasheet's Note 2. This applies specifically to the SMBJ5.0H through SMBJ90H device group. The VF value characterizes conduction behavior during high-current unidirectional surges and informs thermal design-combined with its RθJC = 10°C/W, it enables accurate junction temperature estimation during repetitive transient events.
How does SMBJ5.0H compare to SMAJ5.0A in terms of power rating and package?
SMBJ5.0H delivers 600 W peak pulse power in the DO-214AA (SMB) package, whereas SMAJ5.0A is rated for 400 W in the smaller DO-214AC (SMA) package. The SMB outline provides superior thermal dissipation (RθJA = 55°C/W vs. ~65°C/W for SMA) and higher surge current handling (800 A vs. 500 A). SMBJ5.0H is preferred where board space permits and higher energy transients are expected.
