Product details
Overview
SMBJ58CA-E3/5B 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 signal and power 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), and clamps to ≤93.6 V at 6.4 A peak pulse current - deployed in industrial sensor interfaces and telecom line protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ58CA-E3/5B datasheet, SMBJ58CA-E3/5B pinout, SMBJ58CA-E3/5B application, or SMBJ58CA-E3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, 93.6 V maximum clamping voltage at rated surge current, RoHS-compliant matte tin terminations, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, with identical electrical characteristics in forward and reverse directions. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), while the low incremental surge resistance enables consistent clamping under repetitive 10/1000 µs transients at 0.01% duty cycle.
The device is rated for TJ = −55 °C to +150 °C operation and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. Thermal resistance is 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead), supporting reliable power dissipation up to 5.0 W at 50 °C ambient on infinite heatsink.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VWM | 58 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates |
| VBR (min/max) | 64.4 V / 71.2 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range defining turn-on consistency |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤93.6 V at 6.4 A - Clamped voltage during 600 W transient, directly limiting downstream IC stress |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ58CA-M3/5B | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant variant with identical electrical specs and SMB package | No functional difference; selected where halogen-free compliance is mandated by OEM spec | Direct material substitution when halogen-free requirement applies |
| SMCJ58CA-E3/57T | Same VWM/VBR/VC, but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package with higher PPPM = 1500 W | Used where higher surge margin is needed (e.g., outdoor power supplies); requires larger PCB footprint | Choose when 600 W is insufficient and board space allows SMC footprint |
Compared with SMBJ58CA-E3/5B, the M3/5B variant offers identical protection performance with halogen-free construction, while the SMCJ58CA-E3/57T delivers 2.5× higher surge power in a larger package - enabling design flexibility between compactness and robustness without changing circuit topology.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ58CA-E3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ58CA-E3/5B clamps to a maximum of 93.6 V at its rated peak pulse current of 6.4 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured under standardized test conditions with the device mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads, and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ58CA-E3/5B maintains this clamping performance consistently across its operational temperature range.
Is SMBJ58CA-E3/5B suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
Yes, SMBJ58CA-E3/5B is explicitly designed for bidirectional transient suppression, with symmetrical VBR, VC, and leakage characteristics in both polarities. Its CA suffix denotes bidirectional functionality, and no cathode band marking is present - making it ideal for protecting AC-coupled interfaces like RS-485, CAN FD, or audio lines where polarity reversal may occur. The SMBJ58CA-E3/5B performs identically regardless of surge direction.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum power dissipation of SMBJ58CA-E3/5B?
The SMBJ58CA-E3/5B has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W and junction-to-lead resistance (RθJL) of 20 °C/W. Its steady-state power dissipation (PD) is rated at 5.0 W at TA = 50 °C on an infinite heatsink. These values inform thermal layout decisions - such as minimum copper pad area and proximity to other heat sources - to ensure the SMBJ58CA-E3/5B remains within its −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature limit.
Does SMBJ58CA-E3/5B meet automotive qualification standards?
The base SMBJ58CA-E3/5B is commercial-grade and RoHS-compliant but not AEC-Q101 qualified. However, Vishay offers the automotive variant SMBJ58CAHE3_B/I, which carries the same electrical specifications and adds AEC-Q101 qualification. For designs requiring automotive qualification, SMBJ58CA-E3/5B must be replaced with the HE3-suffixed version - the SMBJ58CA-E3/5B itself is intended for industrial and telecom applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated.
How does the SMBJ58CA-E3/5B compare to unidirectional SMBJ58A variants?
The SMBJ58CA-E3/5B differs from unidirectional SMBJ58A in polarity behavior: it clamps transients in both directions with identical VBR and VC, whereas SMBJ58A only suppresses in reverse bias and conducts forward current above ~3.5 V. SMBJ58CA-E3/5B has no cathode band marking and supports floating or AC-coupled lines; SMBJ58A requires correct orientation and is used where forward conduction must be blocked. Both share the same SMB package and 600 W rating.
