Product details
Overview
SMBJ58-E3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 58 V standoff voltage (VWM), 64.4–71.2 V breakdown range at 1 mA, 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), clamping voltage of 93.6 V at 6.4 A, and operates from –55 °C to +150 °C - deployed in industrial motor drives, telecom power supplies, and automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ58-E3/52 datasheet, SMBJ58-E3/52 pinout, SMBJ58-E3/52 application, or SMBJ58-E3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), unidirectional polarity marking, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast response (<1 ps) to transient events such as inductive switching spikes and ESD. Its low incremental surge resistance ensures minimal voltage overshoot during 600 W surges, while the 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance requires careful PCB pad design per Vishay's recommended 0.2" × 0.2" copper land pattern.
The device complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and UL 497B (QVGQ2 recognition), supports 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), and exhibits a temperature coefficient of VBR at +0.104 %/°C - critical for stable clamping across wide ambient ranges in automotive and industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 58 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; defines safe DC rail protection threshold. |
| VBR (min/max) | 64.4 V / 71.2 V at IT = 1 mA - guaranteed breakdown onset range; ensures predictable turn-on during transients. |
| VC @ IPPM | 93.6 V at 6.4 A - clamped voltage during full 600 W surge; determines worst-case stress on downstream ICs. |
| PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 µs waveform) - peak surge energy handling capacity; validates protection against lightning-induced surges. |
| IFSM | 100 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - single-event forward surge rating; supports protection of rectifier stages and MOSFET gates. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - thermal resistance without heatsink; mandates minimum 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad area for safe 5.0 W dissipation. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial enclosures. |
Pinout & Package

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ58-E3/52 and how is it measured?
The SMBJ58-E3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 93.6 V at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 6.4 A, tested with a 10/1000 µs waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. This value represents the upper limit of voltage seen by protected circuitry during a full-rated surge event and is verified under standardized test conditions on Vishay's production lot sampling.
Is SMBJ58-E3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
SMBJ58-E3/52 is commercial-grade and not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, its -55 °C to +150 °C operating range, 100 A IFSM, and robust glass-passivated junction make it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems like body control modules and infotainment power rails - provided system-level validation confirms compliance with OEM surge and lifetime requirements.
How does the SMBJ58-E3/52 differ from bidirectional variants like SMBJ58CA?
The SMBJ58-E3/52 is unidirectional and features a cathode band marking; it conducts only in forward bias and clamps positive transients to ground. In contrast, SMBJ58CA is bidirectional with no polarity marking and clamps both polarities symmetrically - making SMBJ58-E3/52 appropriate for DC rail protection and SMBJ58CA for AC or differential signal lines where polarity reversal may occur.
What PCB layout guidance applies to SMBJ58-E3/52 for optimal thermal performance?
Vishay specifies a minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pad per terminal for SMBJ58-E3/52 to achieve its rated 5.0 W power dissipation and 100 °C/W RθJA. Thermal vias under pads and internal copper planes further reduce junction temperature; inadequate pad area causes derating per Figure 2 in the datasheet and risks thermal runaway during repetitive surges.
Does SMBJ58-E3/52 meet UL recognition standards?
Yes - SMBJ58-E3/52 carries Underwriters Laboratories recognition under UL 497B (file E136766) for protector classification QVGQ2, covering both unidirectional and bidirectional TVS devices. This certification validates its suitability for use in end equipment requiring UL-listed surge protection components, including telecom and industrial power systems.
