Product details
Overview
SMBJ58AHM3_B/I 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 up to 93.6 V at 6.4 A peak pulse current, with 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 58 V stand-off voltage, and 64.4–71.2 V breakdown voltage range. It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in industrial power supplies and telecom interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ58AHM3_B/I datasheet, SMBJ58AHM3_B/I pinout, SMBJ58AHM3_B/I application, or SMBJ58AHM3_B/I equivalent, key selection criteria include its 58 V working voltage, 93.6 V clamping voltage at rated surge, AEC-Q101 qualification status (HM3 suffix), halogen-free RoHS compliance, and SMB package thermal performance (RθJA = 100 °C/W).
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-band polarity marking, leveraging a glass-passivated silicon junction for stable avalanche behavior under repetitive 10/1000 µs surges at 0.01% duty cycle. Its 150 °C maximum junction temperature and MSL Level 1 rating support reflow soldering at 260 °C peak.
Designed for low-inductance PCB layouts, it delivers sub-nanosecond response time and low incremental surge resistance to limit transient overvoltage before sensitive downstream circuitry. The device meets UL 497B recognition (QVGQ2) and complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 surge test standards.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ58AHE3_B/I | RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; same electrical specs and SMB package. | Suitable for commercial-grade industrial equipment where automotive qualification is unnecessary. | Select when halogen-free content or automotive reliability validation is not required; lower cost alternative. |
| SMBJ58CAHM3_B/I | Bidirectional variant; identical VWM (58 V), VBR, and PPPM, but symmetric clamping in both polarities. | Required for AC-coupled or floating signal lines (e.g., RS-485, CAN FD) where reverse polarity surges occur. | Choose only if bidirectional protection is needed; not a drop-in replacement due to polarity and circuit topology differences. |
Compared with SMBJ58AHM3_B/I, the HE3 variant trades halogen-free content and AEC-Q101 for cost savings in non-automotive use, while the 58CAHM3_B/I adds bidirectional capability at the expense of unidirectional optimization-neither is pin-compatible without layout review.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ58AHM3_B/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ58AHM3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 93.6 V at 6.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ58AHM3_B/I maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ58AHM3_B/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ58AHM3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HM3" suffix, which denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with automotive-grade reliability testing. It supports automotive body electronics, infotainment power rails, and sensor interfaces meeting ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2 requirements. The SMBJ58AHM3_B/I undergoes stress testing including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock per AEC-Q101.
What does the "HM3" suffix mean in SMBJ58AHM3_B/I?
The "HM3" suffix in SMBJ58AHM3_B/I specifies halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification, matte tin-plated leads compliant with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity rating. It distinguishes this variant from commercial-grade "E3" or "M3" versions and confirms suitability for automotive and high-reliability industrial deployments. The SMBJ58AHM3_B/I meets UL 497B recognition under file E136766.
Can SMBJ58AHM3_B/I be used in bidirectional signal protection?
No, SMBJ58AHM3_B/I is a unidirectional TVS diode and must be used with correct polarity-cathode connected to the protected line, anode to ground. For bidirectional protection (e.g., RS-485, CAN), the SMBJ58CAHM3_B/I variant is required. Using SMBJ58AHM3_B/I on AC or floating lines risks failure during negative transients, as it lacks reverse conduction capability. The SMBJ58AHM3_B/I datasheet explicitly restricts operation to unidirectional configurations.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ58AHM3_B/I from junction to ambient?
The SMBJ58AHM3_B/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes still air conditions and defines the steady-state temperature rise above ambient at 5.0 W power dissipation. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in the Vishay datasheet 88392. The SMBJ58AHM3_B/I thermal performance is validated for reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak.
