Product details
Overview
SMBJ58CAHM3_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 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.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I datasheet, SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I pinout, SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I application, or SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I equivalent, this device is selected for robust ESD and surge immunity in bidirectional DC rails, automotive body electronics, and telecom line protection where low clamping ratio, fast response (<1 ns), and AEC-Q101 qualification are required.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, enabling transient suppression without polarity sensitivity. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and low leakage (<1 µA at VWM), while the 20 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance supports reliable power dissipation under repetitive surges.
The device complies with IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD), IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT), and IEC 61000-4-5 (surge) standards when applied with proper PCB layout. Its MSL Level 1 rating and 260 °C lead-free reflow compatibility confirm suitability for high-volume automated assembly in commercial and automotive-grade production.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I | Same electrical specs, but RoHS-compliant with tin-lead finish (not halogen-free); lacks AEC-Q101 qualification. | Suitable for commercial-grade designs where automotive qualification is not required. | Select when cost-sensitive commercial applications prioritize legacy solderability over halogen-free compliance. |
| SMAJ58CAHM3_A/I | Lower 400 W PPPM, same VWM/VC; SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 140 °C/W). | Limited to lower-energy transients; less thermal margin in high-ambient environments. | Choose only if board space is constrained and surge threat level is limited to IEC 61000-4-2/4-4, not full 4-5 Level 4. |
Compared with SMBJ58CAHE3_A/I and SMAJ58CAHM3_A/I, the SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free construction, and 600 W surge capacity in the thermally robust SMB package - making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial designs requiring long-term reliability under repetitive stress.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 93.6 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 6.4 A using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under standardized test conditions per IEC 61000-4-5 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events. The SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I maintains this clamping performance across its operational temperature range (-55 °C to +150 °C).
Is SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified and manufactured with halogen-free, RoHS-compliant materials (HM3 suffix), making it suitable for automotive applications including body control modules, lighting drivers, and infotainment power rails. Its bidirectional architecture, 150 °C maximum junction temperature, and MSL Level 1 reflow rating align with automotive manufacturing and under-hood environmental requirements. The SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I meets stress-test criteria for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per AEC-Q101.
How does the bidirectional design of SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I affect its placement on a PCB?
The SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I has no polarity marking and functions identically in both directions, allowing placement across any two nodes requiring symmetrical overvoltage protection - such as AC signal lines, floating DC buses, or differential pairs. Unlike unidirectional TVS diodes, it eliminates orientation errors during automated assembly and avoids the need for dual-device solutions. Its SMB (DO-214AA) package requires symmetric 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal to maintain specified thermal and surge performance, as defined in the Vishay datasheet.
What is the maximum leakage current of SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I at its stand-off voltage?
The SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at its stand-off voltage (VWM) of 58 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss and negligible impact on high-impedance circuits such as sensor bias networks or battery-powered monitoring systems. Leakage remains below 5 µA up to 85 °C, supporting stable operation in industrial temperature ranges without signal drift or battery drain concerns.
Does SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes, SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I requires thermal derating above 25 °C ambient, following the curve in Figure 2 of the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88392). At 85 °C ambient, its peak pulse power rating reduces to approximately 420 W (70% of 600 W), and at 125 °C, it drops to ~240 W (40%). Derating is based on junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W) and must be applied when calculating worst-case surge survivability in enclosed or high-temperature environments. The SMBJ58CAHM3_A/I retains full functionality within its -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range.
