Product details
Overview
SMBJ64AHM3_B/H 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 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 - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ64AHM3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ64AHM3_B/H pinout, SMBJ64AHM3_B/H application, or SMBJ64AHM3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at VWM, -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction per JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device triggered by overvoltage events such as inductive load switching or ESD. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior, while low incremental surge resistance enables rapid energy absorption without thermal runaway under repetitive 10/1000 µs pulses at 0.01% duty cycle.
The SMBJ64AHM3_B/H is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) and exhibits a typical thermal resistance of 20 °C/W from junction to lead, supporting reliable operation when mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads. Its MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity rating allows uncompromised reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 64 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin for 48 V DC bus protection. |
| VBR min/max | 71.1 V / 78.6 V at IT = 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures predictable turn-on during transients without premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPPM | 103 V at 5.8 A - Clamped voltage level limits downstream component stress during 600 W surge events. |
| IPPM | 5.8 A - Peak pulse current capability with 10/1000 µs waveform; determines minimum trace width and PCB layout robustness. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capacity; validates suitability for automotive load-dump and industrial motor drive protection. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature supports operation in enclosed enclosures or high-ambient environments. |
| Leakage @ VWM | 1.0 µA - Ultra-low reverse leakage preserves efficiency in always-on circuits like battery-backed sensors or standby power rails. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads. Cathode indicated by band marking on cathode end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to ground or low-side return path; enables clamping action when cathode side exceeds VWM. |
| Cathode | Current exit point during forward conduction; marked with band | Connected to protected line (e.g., 48 V rail); defines polarity-sensitive placement in unidirectional protection schemes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power | Enables robust protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a and IEC 61000-4-5 surges without derating in standard layouts. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.33) | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during fast transients, reducing risk of latch-up or gate oxide damage in protected MOSFETs. |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Eliminates bake-out requirement prior to reflow, streamlining SMT assembly for high-volume industrial production. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified variant available | HM3 suffix indicates qualification for automotive-grade reliability - validated for temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD performance. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures long-term stability of VBR and leakage under thermal stress and humidity exposure in harsh environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ64AHE3_B/H | RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free; same electrical specs and SMB package. | Lacks halogen-free certification required for certain EU industrial equipment standards (e.g., EN 61000-6-4 Annex ZA). | Select when halogen content is not regulated in target market or cost sensitivity outweighs material compliance requirements. |
| SMBJ64A-M3/52 | Same halogen-free composition, but supplied in 7″ tape-and-reel (750 pcs) vs. B/H's 7″ reel with different packaging code. | No functional difference; differs only in packaging logistics and traceability labeling per Vishay ordering nomenclature. | Choose based on procurement channel preference and inventory management compatibility with existing MRP systems. |
Compared with SMBJ64AHM3_B/H, the HE3 variant trades halogen-free status for broader commercial availability, while the M3/52 offers identical performance in a legacy packaging format - making HM3 the optimal choice for new designs requiring full environmental compliance and AEC-Q101 readiness.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMBJ64AHM3_B/H?
The SMBJ64AHM3_B/H is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode. Its cathode is marked with a band on the SMB (DO-214AA) package body, and it conducts only when the cathode voltage exceeds the anode by more than the breakdown threshold. This polarity must be observed during PCB layout to ensure correct clamping direction on positive-rail protection applications.
Does SMBJ64AHM3_B/H meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the HM3 suffix in SMBJ64AHM3_B/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and AEC-Q101 qualification. It has passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and ESD per AEC-Q101 Rev D, making it suitable for automotive body electronics and powertrain-adjacent modules.
What is the maximum clamping voltage for SMBJ64AHM3_B/H under surge conditions?
The SMBJ64AHM3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 103 V at 5.8 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across temperature and lifetime, ensuring downstream components see no more than 103 V during standardized surge events.
Can SMBJ64AHM3_B/H replace SMBJ64A-E3/52 in existing designs?
Yes, SMBJ64AHM3_B/H is a direct functional replacement for SMBJ64A-E3/52 in most cases, with identical electrical parameters and SMB package dimensions. The key differences are halogen-free construction and updated MSL Level 1 compliance - no PCB changes are required, but requalification may be needed for halogen-free compliance documentation.
What is the thermal resistance specification for SMBJ64AHM3_B/H?
The SMBJ64AHM3_B/H has a typical thermal resistance of 20 °C/W from junction to lead (RθJL) and 100 °C/W from junction to ambient (RθJA) on standard 0.2″ × 0.2″ copper pads. These values inform heatsinking decisions and derating curves for continuous power dissipation above 25 °C ambient.
