Product details
Overview
SMBJ58AHM3_A/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping fast 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, 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 - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies and telecom line cards.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ58AHM3_A/I datasheet, SMBJ58AHM3_A/I pinout, SMBJ58AHM3_A/I application, or SMBJ58AHM3_A/I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free RoHS compliance, and real-world clamping performance under repetitive surge conditions.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its VBR threshold. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1 µA at VWM), while the low incremental surge resistance enables consistent clamping across surge events.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on standard PCB copper pads (0.2" × 0.2"), it meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak, and supports automotive-grade reliability via AEC-Q101 qualification (denoted by HM3 suffix). Thermal resistance is 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient and 20 °C/W junction-to-lead.

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_A/I | Same electrical specs; RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Suitable for commercial/industrial use only; not approved for automotive ECUs or safety-critical modules | Select when halogen-free content or automotive qualification is not required; lower cost alternative |
| SMCJ58A-H | Higher 1500 W PPPM; larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; same VWM/VC ratings | Used where higher surge margin is needed (e.g., outdoor telecom cabinets); requires larger PCB footprint | Select when system-level surge testing exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4; verify pad layout compatibility |
Compared with SMBJ58AHM3_A/I, SMBJ58AHE3_A/I lacks halogen-free and AEC-Q101 credentials but matches all electrical parameters, while SMCJ58A-H offers double the pulse power in a physically larger package - choice depends on mechanical constraints, regulatory requirements, and surge test profile.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ58AHM3_A/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ58AHM3_A/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 93.6 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 6.4 A, measured using the 10/1000 µs standard waveform. This value is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024, Document Number 88392, and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events. The SMBJ58AHM3_A/I maintains this clamping performance across its qualified temperature range.
Is SMBJ58AHM3_A/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ58AHM3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HM3" suffix in its part number - denoting halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and automotive-grade reliability. It is approved for use in body control modules, power distribution units, and sensor interfaces where sustained operation at +125 °C ambient and resistance to mechanical shock/vibration are required. The SMBJ58AHM3_A/I qualification covers the full parametric range specified in the datasheet.
What does the "HM3" suffix mean in SMBJ58AHM3_A/I?
The "HM3" suffix in SMBJ58AHM3_A/I indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification - distinguishing it from commercial-grade variants like "E3" or "M3". It confirms compliance with IPC-1752A material declarations and automotive stress testing including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and accelerated life testing. The SMBJ58AHM3_A/I meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 reflow requirements.
Can SMBJ58AHM3_A/I be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, SMBJ58AHM3_A/I is a unidirectional TVS diode, as confirmed by its part number structure and datasheet specifications. Bidirectional variants use the "CA" suffix (e.g., SMBJ58CA). The SMBJ58AHM3_A/I features a cathode band marking and is intended for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed; using it in AC or bidirectional signal paths would result in forward conduction during negative half-cycles and potential failure.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ58AHM3_A/I from junction to ambient?
The SMBJ58AHM3_A/I has a typical thermal resistance of 100 °C/W from junction to ambient (RθJA) when mounted on the minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal, as specified in the Vishay datasheet. This value assumes natural convection cooling and is critical for calculating junction temperature rise under steady-state power dissipation (PD = 5.0 W). Derating curves in Figure 2 of the SMBJ58AHM3_A/I datasheet show allowable power reduction above 25 °C ambient.
