Product details
Overview
SMBJ58AHE3_A/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed to protect sensitive electronics against voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lightning surges. 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 (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform).
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ58AHE3_A/I datasheet, SMBJ58AHE3_A/I pinout, SMBJ58AHE3_A/I application, or SMBJ58AHE3_A/I equivalent, this device is selected for robust overvoltage protection in automotive power rails, industrial sensor interfaces, and telecom DC supply lines where fast response (<1 ns), low clamping ratio, and AEC-Q101 qualification are critical.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-banded polarity, leveraging a glass-passivated silicon junction for stable avalanche behavior. Its 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and 20 °C/W junction-to-lead resistance support reliable operation under repetitive surge conditions when mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
The SMBJ58AHE3_A/I delivers 600 W peak pulse power per 10/1000 µs waveform at TA = 25 °C, derating linearly above 25 °C per Fig. 2, and maintains ≤1.0 µA reverse leakage at VWM - enabling low-power system compatibility without compromising protection integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 58 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR min/max | 64.4 V / 71.2 V at IT = 1 mA - ensures predictable avalanche onset across production lot |
| VC @ IPPM | 93.6 V at 6.4 A - limits downstream voltage stress during 10/1000 µs transients |
| PPPM | 600 W - sustains high-energy surges without failure under standard test waveform |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - negligible standby current draw in battery-powered or low-leakage systems |
| TJ max | +150 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - industry-standard surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or low-potential node; completes clamping path during positive transients |
| Cathode | High-side protected node | Connected to line being protected (e.g., 48 V rail); avalanche conduction occurs when voltage exceeds VBR |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ58A-E3/52 | Commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), same electrical specs and SMB package | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs without AEC compliance needs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirement |
| SAC58A | Same VWM (58 V) but lower PPPM (400 W); SOD-123FL package (smaller, lower thermal mass) | Lower surge handling capacity; limited to lighter-duty transients in space-constrained layouts | Choose only if board area is critical and surge energy remains below 400 W capability |
Compared with SMBJ58AHE3_A/I, SMBJ58A-E3/52 offers identical protection performance without AEC-Q101 validation, while SAC58A trades 33 % lower peak power and smaller footprint for reduced thermal robustness - making SMBJ58AHE3_A/I optimal for automotive and high-reliability industrial deployments requiring validated surge endurance.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ58AHE3_A/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ58AHE3_A/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 93.6 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 6.4 A, measured using the standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events and is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88392, Table on page 2.
Is SMBJ58AHE3_A/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ58AHE3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HE3" suffix and explicitly noted in the Vishay datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024. This qualification validates its reliability for use in automotive electronic control units, body electronics, and powertrain subsystems operating within -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range.
What does the "A/I" suffix in SMBJ58AHE3_A/I signify?
The "A/I" suffix in SMBJ58AHE3_A/I denotes packaging configuration: "A" indicates the base part is AEC-Q101 qualified (HE3), and "I" specifies 13-inch plastic tape-and-reel delivery mode with 3200 units per reel. This aligns with Vishay's ordering information table on page 3 of document 88392.
How does SMBJ58AHE3_A/I differ from bidirectional variants like SMBJ58CA?
SMBJ58AHE3_A/I is unidirectional with cathode marking and conducts only in reverse bias during overvoltage events, whereas SMBJ58CA is bidirectional and symmetrical - suppressing transients of either polarity. The unidirectional version offers lower leakage and tighter VBR tolerance, making SMBJ58AHE3_A/I preferred for DC power line protection where polarity is fixed.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ58AHE3_A/I, and how does it affect layout?
SMBJ58AHE3_A/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W and junction-to-lead (RθJL) of 20 °C/W, measured on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal. To maintain safe operation under repetitive surges, PCB layout must provide adequate copper area and avoid thermal bottlenecks - especially critical in automotive under-hood applications where ambient temperatures exceed 85 °C.
