Product details
Overview
SMBJ58CAHM3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. 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 rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed on power rails and signal lines in industrial sensor interfaces and automotive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ58CAHM3/H datasheet, SMBJ58CAHM3/H pinout, SMBJ58CAHM3/H application, or SMBJ58CAHM3/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, bidirectional clamping behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free RoHS compliance, and real-world design context for ESD and lightning surge protection in harsh environments.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, delivering identical clamping performance regardless of transient polarity - critical for protecting AC-coupled or floating signal paths. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and fast response time (<1.0 ns), while the low incremental surge resistance enables precise voltage limiting during high-energy transients.
The device is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak, supporting automated SMT assembly. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W) assumes standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads - essential for thermal derating in continuous operation or repetitive surge scenarios.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ58CAHE3/H | RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free; same electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification | Preferred for commercial-grade automotive programs where halogen content is unrestricted | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs halogen-free requirement and AEC-Q101 is mandatory |
| SAC58CA | Same VWM/VC but lower PPPM (400 W); SOD-123FL package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA) | Suitable for space-constrained consumer electronics with lower surge threat levels | Choose only if layout area is critical and IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (not Level 4) compliance suffices |
Compared with SMBJ58CAHE3/H, the SMBJ58CAHM3/H adds halogen-free compliance without sacrificing surge rating or qualification; versus SAC58CA, it delivers 50% higher pulse power and superior thermal dissipation in a slightly larger but industry-standard SMB package.

FAQ
What does the 'HM3' suffix indicate in SMBJ58CAHM3/H?
The 'HM3' suffix in SMBJ58CAHM3/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It confirms compliance with automotive environmental standards and enables use in high-reliability applications where halogen content must be minimized - distinct from 'HE3' (RoHS + AEC-Q101 but not halogen-free) and 'E3' (commercial RoHS only).
Is SMBJ58CAHM3/H unidirectional or bidirectional?
SMBJ58CAHM3/H is a bidirectional TVS diode, as confirmed by the 'CA' suffix in its part number. It provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities - ideal for protecting AC signals, differential buses like RS-485 or CAN, and floating power domains where transient polarity is unpredictable.
What is the maximum clamping voltage for SMBJ58CAHM3/H under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) for SMBJ58CAHM3/H is 93.6 V at 6.4 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and represents the upper bound of voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case surge events.
Does SMBJ58CAHM3/H require a heatsink for standard operation?
No, SMBJ58CAHM3/H does not require an external heatsink for transient suppression duty cycles (e.g., IEC 61000-4-5 pulses). Its RθJA of 100 °C/W assumes standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads; continuous power dissipation is limited to 5.0 W at 50 °C ambient - well below typical TVS steady-state requirements.
How does SMBJ58CAHM3/H differ from SMBJ58A in terms of functionality?
SMBJ58CAHM3/H is bidirectional with symmetrical clamping, while SMBJ58A is unidirectional and features a cathode band marking. The 'CA' variant supports AC or polarity-agnostic protection; the 'A' variant is suited for DC rail protection where reverse conduction must be blocked - they are not interchangeable without circuit redesign.
