Product details
Overview
SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I 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 or power 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 is AEC-Q101 qualified and used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I datasheet, SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I pinout, SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I application, or SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, 93.6 V clamping voltage at 6.4 A, AEC-Q101 qualification status, SMB package thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), and compliance with UL 497B surge protector classification.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamping protection element in parallel with sensitive circuit nodes. Its bidirectional architecture enables symmetrical transient suppression across both polarities without polarity dependence, making it suitable for AC-coupled or floating signal paths. The glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1 µA at 58 V).
It delivers 600 W peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 µs waveform with <1 ps response time, low incremental surge resistance, and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (260 °C reflow peak). Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 100 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W, supporting reliable operation up to TJ = +150 °C.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified - identical electrical specs and package; differs only in material composition. | No functional difference; selected when halogen-free compliance is mandated by OEM environmental policy. | Choose SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I if halogen-free materials are required; otherwise SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I satisfies standard RoHS and automotive qualification. |
| SMAJ58CAHE3_A/I | Same VWM, VBR, VC, but lower PPPM = 400 W (SMA package); RθJA = 140 °C/W vs. 100 °C/W. | Lower surge rating and higher thermal resistance limit use to less severe transients or lower ambient temperatures. | Select SMAJ58CAHE3_A/I only where space constraints prohibit SMB footprint and surge energy remains ≤400 W. |
Compared with SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I, SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I offers identical protection performance with halogen-free construction, while SMAJ58CAHE3_A/I trades 33 % lower surge power and reduced thermal capability for smaller PCB area - requiring derating in high-temperature or high-energy environments.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 93.6 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 6.4 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per standard test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range and is validated per AEC-Q101 for automotive use.
Is SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified and specifically designed for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and infotainment power supplies. Its bidirectional architecture, 150 °C maximum junction temperature, and validation against temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD ensure reliability in under-hood and cabin environments. The SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements when applied with appropriate layout and upstream impedance.
How does the bidirectional design of SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I affect its circuit placement?
The bidirectional design of SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I eliminates polarity sensitivity, allowing placement across any two nodes without regard to voltage polarity - ideal for AC-coupled lines, differential pairs, or floating references. Unlike unidirectional TVS diodes, SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I requires no cathode band orientation check during placement, simplifying automated assembly and reducing risk of misorientation-related field failures.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I, and how does it impact board layout?
SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes minimum recommended pad layout per Vishay's datasheet; reducing pad size or omitting thermal vias increases RθJA, potentially limiting sustained power dissipation. For SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I, adequate copper area is essential to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C during repetitive surge events.
Does SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I meet UL recognition requirements?
Yes, SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I is Underwriters Laboratories (UL) recognized under file E136766 for both unidirectional and bidirectional transient suppressors per UL 497B, covering classification as a protector for telecommunications and signaling circuits. This recognition applies to the entire SMBJ family, including SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I, and supports safety certification of end equipment in North America and other UL-aligned markets.
