Product details
Overview
SMBJ58AHE3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 58 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 64.4–71.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 93.6 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 6.4 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive ECUs, industrial I/O modules, and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ58AHE3/5B datasheet, SMBJ58AHE3/5B pinout, SMBJ58AHE3/5B application, or SMBJ58AHE3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 6.4 A surge, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its specified VBR range (64.4–71.2 V). Its low incremental surge resistance ensures minimal voltage overshoot during transient events, while the glass-passivated junction enables stable, repeatable breakdown behavior across temperature (-55 to +150 °C).
The device complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards for surge suppression and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity with 260 °C lead-free reflow peak. Its matte tin-plated leads are solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and it is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive underhood applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 58 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin for 48 V systems. |
| VBR @ IT = 1 mA | 64.4–71.2 V - Measured breakdown threshold; ensures reliable triggering above normal operating voltage with 5.5% tolerance. |
| VC @ IPPM = 6.4 A | 93.6 V - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; limits downstream IC stress to ≤93.6 V under 600 W transient. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; supports high-energy transients like ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a in automotive environments. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Non-repetitive forward surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine); protects against accidental polarity reversal or load dump surges. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads; informs derating above 25 °C ambient. |
| Junction Temp Range | -55 to +150 °C - Full operational range compatible with under-hood automotive and industrial control cabinet environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile case with cathode band marking. Dimensions: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm (L × W × H), compliant with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / Reverse voltage reference | Connected to lower-potential side of protected line (e.g., ground or return path); defines unidirectional conduction direction. |
| Cathode | Clamping output / Surge sink node | Connected to higher-potential side (e.g., 48 V rail); conducts surge current to ground when VAK > VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive underhood use per stress test requirements - supports long-term reliability in engine control, ADAS, and body electronics. |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Withstands high-energy transients such as ISO 7637-2 Load Dump without degradation - critical for 12 V/24 V/48 V vehicle architectures. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.42) | Minimizes overvoltage exposure to protected ICs (e.g., CAN transceivers, microcontrollers) during surge events. |
| MSL Level 1, 260 °C peak reflow | Enables single-pass lead-free assembly without moisture-related popcorning - suitable for high-volume SMT production lines. |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1 µA at VWM) across temperature and lifetime - improves system-level EMI immunity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ58AHE3/52 | Same electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (750 pcs vs. 3200 pcs per reel). | Identical functional use; selected for smaller batch prototyping or low-volume production runs. | Choose when reel size or inventory turnover favors 7" reels over 13". |
| SMBJ58AHM3/5B | Halogen-free variant with identical VWM, VBR, VC, and PPPM; same SMB package and AEC-Q101 qualification. | Used where RoHS-compliant halogen-free materials are mandated (e.g., EU automotive Tier 1 supply chains). | Specify when compliance with IEC 61249-2-21 or customer green-material requirements applies. |
Compared with SMBJ58AHE3/5B, SMBJ58AHE3/52 offers identical protection performance in a smaller reel format ideal for R&D validation, while SMBJ58AHM3/5B delivers the same clamping and surge capability with halogen-free construction - enabling material compliance without design or layout changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ58AHE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ58AHE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 93.6 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 6.4 A using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under defined test conditions per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream components in the protected circuit. The SMBJ58AHE3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ58AHE3/5B qualified to AEC-Q101, and what does that mean for automotive use?
Yes, SMBJ58AHE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HE3" and documentation in datasheet 88392. This qualification validates its reliability under accelerated stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD - making it suitable for automotive applications such as engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensors. The SMBJ58AHE3/5B meets these requirements without derating in ambient temperatures up to +125 °C.
How does the SMBJ58AHE3/5B differ from bidirectional variants like SMBJ58CA?
The SMBJ58AHE3/5B is unidirectional, meaning it clamps only in reverse bias and conducts forward current like a standard diode - ideal for DC power rail protection where polarity is fixed. In contrast, SMBJ58CA is bidirectional and symmetrical, clamping in both directions, suited for AC lines or data bus protection. The SMBJ58AHE3/5B features a cathode band marking and exhibits forward voltage drop (~3.5 V at 50 A), whereas SMBJ58CA has no polarity marking and no forward conduction path. Their VBR and VC values also differ due to structural asymmetry.
What PCB pad layout is recommended for optimal thermal and surge performance of SMBJ58AHE3/5B?
Vishay specifies mounting SMBJ58AHE3/5B on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal to achieve rated 600 W pulse power and thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W). These pads must be connected to internal ground/power planes via multiple thermal vias to minimize junction temperature rise during repetitive surges. Deviating from this layout reduces both surge handling and long-term reliability - especially critical in automotive and industrial applications where SMBJ58AHE3/5B operates near its thermal limits.
Can SMBJ58AHE3/5B be used in place of SMAJ58A, and what are the key trade-offs?
No - SMBJ58AHE3/5B is not a direct replacement for SMAJ58A. While both are unidirectional TVS diodes with 58 V VWM, the SMAJ series uses the smaller SMA (DO-214AC) package with lower 400 W peak pulse power and higher RθJA (~140 °C/W). Substituting SMBJ58AHE3/5B for SMAJ58A increases board area but delivers 50% higher surge energy handling and better thermal performance. The SMBJ58AHE3/5B requires revised footprint and stencil design due to larger SMB (DO-214AA) dimensions and different pad spacing.
