Product details
Overview
SMBJ60AHE3_A/I 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 60 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 66.7–73.7 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 96.8 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 6.2 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive ECUs, industrial PLC I/O modules, and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ60AHE3_A/I datasheet, SMBJ60AHE3_A/I pinout, SMBJ60AHE3_A/I application, or SMBJ60AHE3_A/I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and real-world clamping behavior under surge conditions - critical for ESD and lightning-induced transient design validation.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, leveraging glass-passivated silicon junction technology to achieve sub-nanosecond response time and low incremental surge resistance. Its 600 W peak pulse power rating is defined per 10/1000 µs waveform with 0.01 % duty cycle, and it maintains stable clamping performance across –55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature.
The device is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine), exhibits 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at VWM, and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. Polarity is marked by cathode band; terminals are matte tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 60 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates; defines safe DC rail protection threshold. |
| VBR (min/max) | 66.7 V / 73.7 V at IT = 1 mA - guaranteed avalanche onset range; ensures predictable turn-on during transients. |
| VC @ IPPM | 96.8 V at 6.2 A - maximum clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs surge; determines downstream voltage stress. |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient energy absorption capability under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform; validates surge immunity level. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; supports operation in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - thermal resistance junction-to-ambient on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads; informs PCB thermal layout requirements. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - certified for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per AEC specification. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile case with molded UL 94 V-0 compound; cathode indicated by band on body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / transient return path | Connected to ground or low-impedance return in unidirectional configuration; completes clamping loop during overvoltage events. |
| Cathode | Protected line connection / clamping node | Connected to the line being protected (e.g., 60 V supply rail); avalanche conduction occurs from cathode to anode when V > VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables single-device protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV/2 Ω) surges on 60 V systems without derating. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified (HE3 suffix) | Validates suitability for automotive powertrain and body electronics where long-term reliability under thermal cycling and vibration is mandatory. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.39) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during clamping - critical for safeguarding 65 V-rated MOSFETs and gate drivers in 48 V architectures. |
| MSL Level 1, 260 °C peak reflow | Supports standard lead-free SMT assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns or pre-bake requirements. |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR and low leakage (<1 µA) over lifetime, even under humidity and bias stress in industrial control environments. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial 48 V DC Power Rail |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ60AHM3_A/I | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant variant with identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification. | No functional difference; selected where halogen-free material compliance is mandated (e.g., EU medical or aerospace programs). | Direct drop-in replacement if halogen-free bill-of-materials is required; same footprint, thermal, and clamping behavior. |
| SMCJ60AHE3_A/I | Same VWM/VBR/VC ratings but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; 1500 W PPPM rating and lower RθJA (50 °C/W). | Used where higher surge endurance (>1500 W) or improved thermal dissipation is needed - e.g., main DC input vs. local rail protection. | Select when system-level surge test levels exceed IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4; requires PCB layout change due to larger 7.11 mm × 6.22 mm footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ60AHE3_A/I, SMBJ60AHM3_A/I offers identical protection performance with halogen-free construction, while SMCJ60AHE3_A/I provides 2.5× higher pulse power handling at the cost of increased board area and different thermal management - guiding selection based on compliance mandates and surge severity tier.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ60AHE3_A/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ60AHE3_A/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 96.8 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 6.2 A, measured using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the highest voltage the protected circuit will experience during a full-rated surge event, and it is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88392, page 2. The SMBJ60AHE3_A/I maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ60AHE3_A/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ60AHE3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HE3" suffix in its part number. This certification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and ESD, validating its use in automotive body electronics, infotainment power rails, and ADAS sensor interfaces. The qualification is documented in Vishay's official datasheet and supported by Vishay's automotive product line documentation.
What is the standoff voltage and breakdown voltage range for SMBJ60AHE3_A/I?
The SMBJ60AHE3_A/I has a reverse standoff voltage (VWM) of 60 V and a breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 66.7 V to 73.7 V at 1 mA test current. These values ensure reliable blocking of normal 60 V system operation while guaranteeing avalanche conduction begins no later than 73.7 V - a critical margin for protecting 65 V-rated components. All values are specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the Vishay SMBJ5.0A–SMBJ188A datasheet.
Does SMBJ60AHE3_A/I have a bidirectional version?
No, SMBJ60AHE3_A/I is a unidirectional TVS diode, as confirmed by its "A" suffix and cathode-band marking. For bidirectional operation at the same voltage rating, the equivalent part is SMBJ60CAHE3_A/I (with "CA" suffix), which provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities and is used in AC-coupled or floating signal line protection. The unidirectional nature of SMBJ60AHE3_A/I makes it optimal for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed.
What package type and mounting specifications apply to SMBJ60AHE3_A/I?
SMBJ60AHE3_A/I uses the SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package, measuring 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm with a 2.16 mm lead pitch. It is designed for automated placement and reflow soldering at up to 260 °C peak (MSL Level 1). The device requires 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal for rated power dissipation, as specified in the Vishay thermal derating curves and mechanical drawings.
