Product details
Overview
SMBJ58HE3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal 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 SMBJ58HE3/5B datasheet, SMBJ58HE3/5B pinout, SMBJ58HE3/5B application, or SMBJ58HE3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and compliance with UL 497B surge protector classification.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device that enters avalanche conduction when transient voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance and fast response time (<1 ns), while the low incremental surge resistance enables effective energy diversion during ESD or lightning-induced surges.
The SMBJ58HE3/5B is rated for 600 W peak pulse power under 10/1000 µs waveform with 0.01% duty cycle, and supports repetitive surge events when thermally managed per derating curves. Its unidirectional configuration requires cathode-band orientation during PCB layout, and it meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 58 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR min/max | 64.4 V / 71.2 V at IT = 1 mA - defines guaranteed avalanche onset window for design margining |
| VC | 93.6 V at IPPM = 6.4 A - clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient power dissipation capability with standard 10/1000 µs test waveform |
| IPPM | 6.4 A - maximum non-repetitive peak pulse current the device can safely conduct |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature enabling operation in high-ambient industrial environments |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient, defining required copper pad area for thermal management |
Pinout & Package

| Telecom Remote Radio Unit (RRU) | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Protecting Ethernet PHY power pins and RS-485 transceiver lines in outdoor base station RRUs subject to lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-level TVS on isolated 3.3 V/5 V auxiliary rails and data lines, coordinated with primary GDT or MOV stages. Use Value: Fast <1 ns response and 93.6 V clamping ensure sensitive PHY ICs remain below absolute maximum ratings during multi-kV transients. |
Use Scenario: Shielding analog front-end inputs (e.g., 4–20 mA loop receivers or RTD interfaces) from ESD and cable discharge events in factory automation sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance unidirectional clamp on signal path, placed immediately before op-amp input or ADC driver stage. Use Value: Junction capacitance <100 pF (typ.) avoids signal integrity degradation while providing ±15 kV HBM ESD immunity per IEC 61000-4-2. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ58A-E3/5B | Commercial-grade version without AEC-Q101 qualification; identical electrical specs and SMB package | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated | Select SMBJ58A-E3/5B when cost optimization is prioritized and automotive reliability testing is unnecessary |
| SMAJ58AHE3/A | Same VWM/VC but in smaller SMA (DO-214AC) package; lower PPPM = 400 W; RθJA = 140 °C/W | Reduced surge handling capacity and higher thermal resistance limit use to lower-energy transients | Choose SMAJ58AHE3/A only for space-constrained layouts where 400 W peak power suffices and thermal margin allows |
Compared with SMBJ58A-E3/5B, the SMBJ58HE3/5B adds AEC-Q101 validation for automotive use without altering clamping behavior; versus SMAJ58AHE3/A, it delivers 50% higher surge power and superior thermal performance in the same footprint family, making it preferred for demanding industrial and automotive power-line protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ58HE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ58HE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 93.6 V at 6.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ58HE3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ58HE3/5B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ58HE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and surge endurance required for automotive electronic components. Its RoHS-compliant construction and MSL Level 1 rating further support automated manufacturing in automotive supply chains. The SMBJ58HE3/5B is explicitly designated for automotive use via the "HE3" suffix.
What is the difference between SMBJ58HE3/5B and SMBJ58A-E3/5B?
The SMBJ58HE3/5B and SMBJ58A-E3/5B share identical electrical specifications, SMB (DO-214AA) package, and RoHS compliance, but only the HE3 version carries AEC-Q101 qualification. This makes SMBJ58HE3/5B suitable for automotive applications where qualification is mandatory, while SMBJ58A-E3/5B serves commercial/industrial uses. Both use the same 13" tape-and-reel packaging (5B).
Does SMBJ58HE3/5B have bidirectional capability?
No, SMBJ58HE3/5B is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the absence of "CA" suffix and presence of cathode band marking. Bidirectional variants (e.g., SMBJ58CA) are available separately and exhibit symmetrical clamping in both polarities. Using SMBJ58HE3/5B in bidirectional signal paths would require external circuitry or a different device type.
What is the thermal resistance and recommended PCB layout for SMBJ58HE3/5B?
The SMBJ58HE3/5B 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. To maintain safe junction temperatures under repeated surges, designers should use minimum recommended pad layout per Vishay document 88392, avoid excessive trace length, and consider thermal vias if ambient temperatures exceed 70 °C. The SMBJ58HE3/5B is rated for TJ up to +150 °C.
