Product details
Overview
SMBJ64AHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 64 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 71.1–78.6 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 103 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 5.8 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 motor drives and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ64AHE3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ64AHE3_B/H pinout, SMBJ64AHE3_B/H application, or SMBJ64AHE3_B/H equivalent, this device delivers AEC-Q101 qualification, low incremental surge resistance, fast response time (<1 ns), and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity - critical for high-reliability board-level ESD and lightning surge protection in automotive and industrial designs.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a clamping device that remains non-conductive below its 64 V stand-off voltage and rapidly transitions to low-impedance conduction when transient voltages exceed its 71.1–78.6 V breakdown range. Its junction structure uses glass-passivated silicon for stable leakage performance and repeatable clamping behavior under repetitive surges.
The SMBJ64AHE3_B/H is rated for 100 A peak forward surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine), supports continuous power dissipation of 5.0 W at 50 °C ambient, and exhibits a thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads - enabling predictable thermal design in compact PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 64 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; defines operating margin for protected circuitry |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 71.1–78.6 V at 1 mA - precise threshold where clamping initiates; ensures reliable turn-on without false triggering |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 103 V at 5.8 A (10/1000 µs) - limits transient voltage seen by downstream ICs to safe levels during surge events |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - sustains high-energy transients (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a) without failure |
| IPPM (Peak Pulse Current) | 5.8 A - maximum surge current handled at rated clamping voltage; determines protection capability against defined threats |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures with elevated ambient temperatures |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - industry-standard SMD outline with 5.59 mm × 4.06 mm footprint and 2.20 mm height; compatible with automated pick-and-place |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, unidirectional polarity indicated by cathode band. Matte tin-plated leads, RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Withstands high-energy transients common in 12 V/24 V vehicle electrical systems and industrial power supplies |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.33) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during clamping - critical for protecting 75 V-rated MOSFETs and gate drivers |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow) | Supports standard lead-free reflow profiles without preconditioning or baking |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable leakage current (<1 µA at VWM) and long-term reliability under thermal cycling |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ64AHM3_B/H | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified - identical electrical specs and package | No functional difference; selected when halogen-free compliance is mandated by OEM specifications | Direct material substitution where halogen content must be minimized per IPC-1752A |
| SMCJ64AHE3_A/H | Larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; same VWM, VBR, VC, but higher 1500 W PPPM and 13.3 A IPPM | Used where higher surge energy handling is required, e.g., main DC input vs. secondary rail protection | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W; requires PCB layout change due to larger footprint |
Compared with SMBJ64AHE3_B/H, SMBJ64AHM3_B/H offers identical protection performance with halogen-free construction, while SMCJ64AHE3_A/H provides 2.5× higher surge capacity in a larger package - enabling tiered protection architecture across different board locations.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ64AHE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ64AHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 103 V at 5.8 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under standardized test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events - critical for ensuring compatibility with downstream components rated for ≤110 V absolute maximum.
Is SMBJ64AHE3_B/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ64AHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HE3" and documentation in datasheet 88392. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, humidity bias HAST, and mechanical shock - validating its suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics such as body control modules and ADAS power supplies.
What does the "B/H" suffix indicate in SMBJ64AHE3_B/H?
The "B/H" suffix in SMBJ64AHE3_B/H denotes the packaging configuration: "B" specifies the revision level (per Vishay's internal revision coding), and "H" indicates the preferred package code for 7" diameter plastic tape and reel with 750 units per reel. This matches the ordering information table in datasheet 88392 and ensures correct logistics and assembly handling.
How does SMBJ64AHE3_B/H differ from bidirectional variants like SMBJ64CA?
SMBJ64AHE3_B/H is unidirectional, with polarity marked by a cathode band and intended for DC line protection where reverse voltage is blocked. In contrast, SMBJ64CA is bidirectional - symmetrical in both directions, no polarity marking, and used in AC-coupled or floating signal paths. Their VBR and VC values differ accordingly, and they are not interchangeable without circuit redesign.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ64AHE3_B/H, and how does it affect PCB layout?
SMBJ64AHE3_B/H 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 TJ ≤150 °C under 5.0 W continuous dissipation, designers must ensure adequate copper area and avoid excessive ambient temperature - underscoring the need for verified pad layout per Vishay's recommended footprint.
