Product details
Overview
SMBJ58CA-E3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 58 V standoff voltage (VWM), 64.4–71.2 V breakdown range (VBR at 1 mA), 93.6 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 6.4 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform). It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in industrial power supplies and telecom interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ58CA-E3/52 datasheet, SMBJ58CA-E3/52 pinout, SMBJ58CA-E3/52 application, or SMBJ58CA-E3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.42), MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, with identical VBR, VC, and IPPM specifications in forward and reverse directions. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and fast response time (<1.0 ps), enabling protection against ESD, lightning-induced surges, and inductive switching transients.
The device is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and exhibits a VBR temperature coefficient of +0.104 %/°C - critical for thermal stability in automotive and industrial environments where ambient temperatures exceed 85 °C. Its RθJA of 100 °C/W requires careful PCB thermal design to sustain repetitive surge duty cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 58 V - maximum continuous reverse/forward operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe working range for protected circuitry. |
| VBR (min/max) | 64.4 V / 71.2 V at 1 mA - guaranteed breakdown onset window; ensures predictable clamping initiation under transient stress. |
| VC @ IPPM | 93.6 V at 6.4 A (10/1000 µs) - peak clamped voltage seen by downstream components; determines minimum required voltage margin. |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient energy absorption capacity; supports robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV/2 Ω). |
| ID @ VWM | <1.0 µA - ultra-low leakage at standoff voltage; prevents loading of high-impedance sensor or reference circuits. |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - maximum junction temperature rating; enables operation in under-hood automotive or enclosed industrial enclosures. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - standardized surface-mount outline with 5.59 mm × 4.06 mm footprint and 2.20 mm height; compatible with J-STD-020 reflow profiles. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), bidirectional configuration - no polarity marking; symmetrical terminals with cathode/anode roles interchangeable per direction of transient stress.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Terminal 1) | Transient current entry (negative polarity) | Accepts negative-going surges; forms one side of bidirectional clamping path with Terminal 2. |
| Cathode (Terminal 2) | Transient current entry (positive polarity) | Accepts positive-going surges; completes symmetrical clamping loop with Terminal 1. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Supports repeated surge events per IEC 61000-4-5 up to 4 kV open-circuit voltage with 2 Ω source impedance. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Permits standard lead-free reflow without baking; eliminates moisture-related popcorning during assembly. |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures long-term reliability and stable VBR drift <±5 % over 1000 hrs at 85 °C/85 % RH. |
| RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads | Meets J-STD-002 solderability and JESD22-B102 whisker resistance Class 2 requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ58CA-E3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ58CA-E3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 93.6 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 6.4 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The SMBJ58CA-E3/52 maintains this clamping performance across both polarities due to its bidirectional architecture.
Is SMBJ58CA-E3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
SMBJ58CA-E3/52 is RoHS-compliant and meets MSL Level 1, but it is not AEC-Q101 qualified in the E3/52 configuration. For automotive use, Vishay offers the SMBJ58CAHE3_B/H variant, which carries AEC-Q101 qualification. The SMBJ58CA-E3/52 may be used in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems only after full system-level validation; however, SMBJ58CA-E3/52 itself does not carry automotive qualification documentation.
How does the bidirectional nature of SMBJ58CA-E3/52 affect its PCB layout?
The SMBJ58CA-E3/52 has no polarity marking and functions identically in both directions, simplifying PCB layout by eliminating orientation constraints during automated placement. Unlike unidirectional TVS diodes, it can be placed across any two nodes subject to bipolar transients - such as differential signal pairs or AC-coupled power rails - without requiring silkscreen polarity indicators or orientation verification. This reduces assembly errors and supports compact routing in dense layouts.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of SMBJ58CA-E3/52 at its standoff voltage?
The SMBJ58CA-E3/52 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at its 58 V standoff voltage (VWM) and 25 °C ambient temperature. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal loading of high-impedance circuits such as precision voltage references or sensor front-ends. At elevated temperatures (e.g., 85 °C), leakage remains below 5 µA, preserving signal fidelity in thermally demanding environments.
Can SMBJ58CA-E3/52 replace a unidirectional TVS like SMBJ58A-E3/52 in an existing design?
No - SMBJ58CA-E3/52 is bidirectional and cannot directly replace the unidirectional SMBJ58A-E3/52 without circuit review. While both share identical VWM, VBR, and VC values, the unidirectional part conducts forward current during positive transients only and blocks reverse current, whereas SMBJ58CA-E3/52 clamps in both directions. Substitution may cause unintended conduction paths or violate biasing requirements in DC-coupled circuits.
