Product details
Overview
SMBJ5.0HE3/52 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 5.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 6.4–7.07 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 10 mA, 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 65.2 V clamping voltage (VC) at 800 A IPPM, and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range - deployed in automotive ECUs, industrial sensor interfaces, and USB power input stages.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ5.0HE3/52 datasheet, SMBJ5.0HE3/52 pinout, SMBJ5.0HE3/52 application, or SMBJ5.0HE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 9.2), unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast response (<1 ps) to transient surges, enabling effective suppression of ESD (IEC 61000-4-2), EFT (IEC 61000-4-4), and lightning-induced spikes (IEC 61000-4-5). Its low incremental surge resistance (≈0.08 Ω derived from VC/IPPM) ensures minimal voltage overshoot during high-current transients.
The device is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine) and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of VBR (+0.057 %/°C), supporting stable clamping performance across wide thermal operating ranges in under-hood and factory-floor environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 5.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before significant leakage; defines safe DC rail operating margin. |
| VBR (min/max) | 6.4 V / 7.07 V at IT = 10 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range; ensures reliable turn-on above normal operating voltage. |
| VC @ IPPM | 65.2 V at 800 A (10/1000 µs) - Clamped voltage seen by protected IC during worst-case surge; limits stress on downstream components. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak transient energy handling capability; supports robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges. |
| ID @ VWM | 800 µA max - Reverse leakage at stand-off voltage; low enough to avoid loading 5 V logic or sensor supply rails. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables use in high-ambient automotive and industrial power modules. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TC, and HTRB testing per AEC standard. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ5.0A-E3/52 | No AEC-Q101 qualification; commercial grade only | Not approved for automotive production; limited to consumer or industrial non-safety-critical use | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability needs. |
| SMCJ5.0AHE3/52 | Larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; 1500 W PPPM rating; same VWM/VBR/VC specs | Higher surge capacity but requires larger PCB footprint; suited for higher-energy threat environments | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 and board space permits larger package. |
Compared with SMBJ5.0A-E3/52, the SMBJ5.0HE3/52 adds automotive qualification without altering electrical specs; versus SMCJ5.0AHE3/52, it trades surge capacity for compact SMB footprint - critical for space-constrained ECU and sensor modules.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ5.0HE3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ5.0HE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 65.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 800 A under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TJ = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events - a critical parameter for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings. The SMBJ5.0HE3/52 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ5.0HE3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ5.0HE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed rigorous stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and humidity bias HAST - specifically validated for automotive under-hood and cabin electronics. Its construction, thermal rating (TJ max = +150 °C), and RoHS-compliant HE3 suffix confirm suitability for production automotive systems. The SMBJ5.0HE3/52 is commonly used in body control modules, infotainment power supplies, and ADAS sensor interfaces.
How does the SMBJ5.0HE3/52 differ from the SMBJ5.0A-E3/52?
The SMBJ5.0HE3/52 and SMBJ5.0A-E3/52 share identical electrical specifications (VWM = 5.0 V, VBR = 6.4–7.07 V, VC = 65.2 V, PPPM = 600 W) and SMB package, but differ in qualification and material compliance. SMBJ5.0HE3/52 carries AEC-Q101 qualification and is RoHS-compliant; SMBJ5.0A-E3/52 is commercial-grade only, lacking automotive validation. Both use matte tin-plated leads and meet MSL Level 1, but only SMBJ5.0HE3/52 is approved for automotive production use.
What is the reverse leakage current of SMBJ5.0HE3/52 at its stand-off voltage?
At its maximum reverse stand-off voltage (VWM) of 5.0 V and TA = 25 °C, the SMBJ5.0HE3/52 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 800 µA. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss and avoids unintended loading of 5 V supply rails or high-impedance sensor outputs. Leakage remains within specification up to +125 °C ambient, supporting reliable operation in thermally demanding environments where the SMBJ5.0HE3/52 is deployed.
Does SMBJ5.0HE3/52 have polarity marking, and how is it oriented in circuit?
Yes, SMBJ5.0HE3/52 is unidirectional and features a cathode band marking on the package body - the banded end is the cathode terminal. In circuit, the cathode connects to the line being protected (e.g., 5 V rail), and the anode connects to ground. This orientation allows the device to conduct surge current from the protected line to ground when transient voltage exceeds VBR, while blocking normal 5 V DC operation. The SMBJ5.0HE3/52 must not be installed in reverse, as it would short the rail.
