Product details
Overview
SMBJ54CD-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 54 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 60.9–65.4 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), clamping voltage of 85.9 V at 7.0 A IPPM, and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range - deployed on signal lines and power rails in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ54CD-M3/H datasheet, SMBJ54CD-M3/H pinout, SMBJ54CD-M3/H application, or SMBJ54CD-M3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, tight ±3.5 % VBR tolerance, low leakage (<0.5 μA at VWM), MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction per JESD201 Class 2 whisker test.
Technical Context
This TVS diode implements a silicon avalanche structure optimized for fast response (<1 ns) to transient surges induced by inductive switching or ESD events. Its bidirectional symmetry enables protection of AC-coupled or differential signal paths without polarity constraints, while the low incremental surge resistance ensures minimal voltage overshoot during high-current transients.
The device complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 for surge protector classification and meets UL 497B recognition (QVGQ2, E136766) for both unidirectional and bidirectional types. Thermal performance is characterized by RθJA = 125 °C/W on minimum pad layout and RθJM = 20 °C/W to mounting surface, supporting reliable operation under repetitive surge conditions up to 0.01 % duty cycle.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 54 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR min/max | 60.9 V / 65.4 V at 1 mA - tight ±3.5 % tolerance ensures predictable turn-on threshold |
| VC at IPPM | 85.9 V at 7.0 A - clamped voltage limits stress on downstream ICs during 10/1000 μs surge |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ54CA-M3/5B | Same VWM (54 V), identical SMB package, but M3/5B suffix indicates different reel packaging (5,000 pcs vs. 750 pcs) and minor process revision | No functional difference; same electrical specs and thermal ratings | Select when higher volume tape-and-reel delivery (5,000 pcs) is preferred over 750-qty H-reel format |
| P6SMB54CA | Same VWM/VBR/PPPM specs, but legacy ON Semiconductor part with identical SMB footprint and ±3.5 % VBR tolerance | Identical use cases; certified to same UL 497B standard (E136766) | Choose for dual-sourcing continuity where Vishay and ON Semi supply chains are both qualified |
Compared with SMBJ54CD-M3/H, SMBJ54CA-M3/5B offers identical protection performance in a larger reel configuration, while P6SMB54CA provides second-source assurance with full specification parity - both avoid PCB redesign and maintain thermal derating curves and clamping behavior.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ54CD-M3/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ54CD-M3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 85.9 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 7.0 A under a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures downstream components experience limited overvoltage stress during surge events. The SMBJ54CD-M3/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ54CD-M3/H suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
Yes, SMBJ54CD-M3/H is explicitly designed for bidirectional applications, as indicated by the "CD" suffix. Its symmetrical avalanche structure provides identical breakdown and clamping characteristics in both polarities, making it ideal for protecting AC-coupled interfaces like RS-485, CAN FD, or audio lines. No cathode band is present - orientation during placement is irrelevant for SMBJ54CD-M3/H.
Does SMBJ54CD-M3/H meet UL safety certification requirements?
Yes, SMBJ54CD-M3/H is UL Recognized under standard UL 497B (file number E136766) for both unidirectional and bidirectional transient protectors. This certification validates its suitability in end-equipment requiring safety agency approval, including industrial controllers and telecom infrastructure. The UL listing applies directly to the SMBJ54CD-M3/H device as manufactured and tested by Vishay.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ54CD-M3/H when mounted on standard PCB pads?
When mounted on the minimum recommended pad layout (per Vishay's datasheet Figure 5), SMBJ54CD-M3/H exhibits a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 125 °C/W. For enhanced thermal performance, mounting on a 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad reduces RθJA to 100 °C/W, while junction-to-mount (RθJM) remains 20 °C/W - critical for sustained surge duty cycles.
How does the M3 suffix affect the specifications of SMBJ54CD-M3/H?
The M3 suffix on SMBJ54CD-M3/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction, industrial-grade qualification, and compliance with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance testing. It does not alter electrical parameters - VWM, VBR, VC, and PPPM remain identical to non-M3 variants. The M3 designation confirms material content and reliability attributes required for automotive and industrial deployments.
