Product details
Overview
SMBJ58AHM3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping fast-rising voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 58 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 64.4–71.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 93.6 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 6.4 A, and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range - deployed in industrial motor drives and automotive ECUs for MOSFET gate protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ58AHM3_A/H datasheet, SMBJ58AHM3_A/H pinout, SMBJ58AHM3_A/H application, or SMBJ58AHM3_A/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification status, UL 497B recognition, and real-world design context for surge immunity validation in 12–48 V DC systems.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for low incremental surge resistance and sub-nanosecond response time to ESD and lightning-induced surges. Its unidirectional polarity enables integration into DC-biased rails where reverse conduction must be blocked until clamping threshold is exceeded.
The device meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak, supports 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), and exhibits 0.104 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, ensuring stable clamping performance across automotive under-hood temperature excursions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 58 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA; sets upper limit for DC rail placement without false triggering. |
| VBR (min/max) | 64.4 V / 71.2 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown window ensures reliable turn-on margin above VWM while avoiding premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPPM | 93.6 V at 6.4 A - Clamping voltage during 600 W transient defines worst-case overvoltage seen by protected IC or MOSFET. |
| PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 µs waveform) - Peak surge energy handling capacity validated for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance in industrial environments. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance determines derating curve above 25 °C ambient; requires minimum 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature rating enables use in under-hood automotive modules and high-temperature industrial enclosures. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD testing per AEC specification; suffix HM3 denotes halogen-free RoHS-compliant version. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ58AHE3_A/H | Same electrical specs but RoHS-compliant commercial grade (E3), not halogen-free or AEC-Q101 qualified. | Lacks automotive qualification and halogen-free certification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs without AEC or green material mandates. | Select SMBJ58AHE3_A/H for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where AEC-Q101 and halogen-free status are not required. |
| SMAJ58AHE3 | Lower 400 W PPPM, SMA (DO-214AC) package, 100 °C TJ max., no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Reduced surge capability and thermal rating; limited to lower-energy transients and less demanding thermal environments. | Choose SMAJ58AHE3 only if board space constraints require smaller SMA footprint and surge threat level is below IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3. |
Compared with SMBJ58AHE3_A/H and SMAJ58AHE3, SMBJ58AHM3_A/H uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free construction, and full 600 W surge rating in SMB package - making it the only option qualified for automotive under-hood deployment with full environmental compliance.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ58AHM3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ58AHM3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 93.6 V at its peak pulse current (IPPM) of 6.4 A, measured using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a 600 W transient event and is critical for ensuring compatibility with downstream 100 V-rated components. The SMBJ58AHM3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ58AHM3_A/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ58AHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation and ordering code suffix HM3. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, unbiased highly accelerated stress test, and ESD. The SMBJ58AHM3_A/H is approved for use in automotive body electronics, powertrain control modules, and ADAS subsystems where reliability under extended temperature and vibration conditions is mandatory.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in SMBJ58AHM3_A/H?
The "HM3" suffix in SMBJ58AHM3_A/H specifies halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this variant from E3 (RoHS-compliant commercial grade) and HE3 (RoHS-compliant AEC-Q101) versions. The HM3 designation ensures compliance with automotive material restrictions (e.g., JIS C 0950) and environmental standards required by Tier 1 suppliers. The SMBJ58AHM3_A/H meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and MSL Level 1 reflow specifications.
How does SMBJ58AHM3_A/H differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBJ58CA?
SMBJ58AHM3_A/H is unidirectional and blocks reverse current until breakdown, making it suitable for DC-biased lines such as positive power rails. In contrast, SMBJ58CA is bidirectional and conducts symmetrically in both directions - appropriate for AC lines or differential signal pairs. The SMBJ58AHM3_A/H offers lower leakage (<1 µA at 58 V) and higher surge current capability in its intended polarity, whereas SMBJ58CA exhibits matched VBR in both directions and double the ID limit for VWM ≤10 V devices.
What PCB layout guidance applies to SMBJ58AHM3_A/H for optimal thermal and surge performance?
For optimal thermal dissipation and surge current handling, Vishay specifies mounting SMBJ58AHM3_A/H on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, with internal layer copper pours connected via multiple thermal vias. Minimizing trace inductance between the SMBJ58AHM3_A/H and protected node is essential to preserve sub-nanosecond response. The device's RθJA of 100 °C/W assumes this pad layout; reduced copper area increases junction temperature and degrades PPPM derating.
