Product details
Overview
SMBJ64AHM3/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 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 - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ64AHM3/H datasheet, SMBJ64AHM3/H pinout, SMBJ64AHM3/H application, or SMBJ64AHM3/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free RoHS compliance, and real-world clamping performance under surge conditions - critical for automotive-grade ESD and lightning transient protection design.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its VBR threshold. Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ps) enable effective suppression of fast-rising transients induced by inductive switching or ESD events.
The device is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature, exhibits 0.105 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, and is characterized with 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads - requiring careful PCB thermal management for repetitive surge duty cycles.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VWM | 64 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; defines safe working margin below clamping threshold. |
| VBR (min/max) | 71.1 V / 78.6 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures reliable triggering across temperature and process variation. |
| VC @ IPPM | 103 V at 5.8 A - Clamped voltage during 600 W 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on protected downstream circuitry. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability with 0.01 % duty cycle; validates suitability for infrequent but high-energy transients. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Non-repetitive forward surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine); supports robustness against accidental polarity reversal events. |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; sets upper limit for thermal design and derating curves in high-ambient environments. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Standardized surface-mount outline with cathode band marking; compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed inline between USB connector and port controller to absorb ±8 kV ESD without disrupting enumeration. Use Value: Low leakage (<1 µA at 64 V) prevents standby current drain; fast response avoids data corruption during plug-in events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ64AHE3/H | Same electrical specs, RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification. | Suitable for commercial-grade industrial equipment where automotive reliability is not required. | Select when halogen-free content or automotive qualification is not mandated; lower cost alternative. |
| SMAJ64A-M3/5B | Lower 400 W PPPM, SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 140 °C/W), same VWM/VC. | Better suited for space-constrained consumer PCBs with lower surge exposure profiles. | Choose only if board area is critical and surge threat level is limited to IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2 (400 W). |
Compared with SMBJ64AHM3/H, SMBJ64AHE3/H omits halogen-free and AEC-Q101 compliance but matches all electrical parameters, while SMAJ64A-M3/5B reduces surge capability and thermal performance due to smaller package - making SMBJ64AHM3/H the optimal choice for automotive and high-reliability industrial designs demanding full 600 W clamping and validated automotive qualification.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ64AHM3/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ64AHM3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 103 V at 5.8 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ64AHM3/H maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range and is validated per Vishay's production test protocols.
Is SMBJ64AHM3/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ64AHM3/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HM3" suffix per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. It undergoes stress testing including high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling (TC), and ESD per JESD22-A114. This qualification confirms its suitability for automotive powertrain, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is mandatory. The SMBJ64AHM3/H meets these requirements without derating.
What does the "HM3" suffix signify in SMBJ64AHM3/H?
The "HM3" suffix in SMBJ64AHM3/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. Per Vishay's documentation, "H" indicates AEC-Q101 qualification, "M3" specifies halogen-free and RoHS-compliant materials, and the trailing "/H" refers to 7" tape-and-reel packaging (750 units per reel). This distinguishes SMBJ64AHM3/H from non-automotive variants like SMBJ64A-E3/H and ensures compliance with automotive supply chain material declarations.
How does SMBJ64AHM3/H compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBJ64CA?
SMBJ64AHM3/H is unidirectional and intended for DC line protection with defined polarity (cathode to protected line), whereas SMBJ64CA is bidirectional and suitable for AC or floating signal lines. The SMBJ64AHM3/H offers lower leakage (<1 µA at 64 V) and higher surge robustness in one direction, while SMBJ64CA provides symmetrical clamping but with doubled leakage at low VWM. For 64 V DC rails, SMBJ64AHM3/H delivers superior performance and is the correct selection.
What is the thermal resistance and recommended pad layout for SMBJ64AHM3/H?
The SMBJ64AHM3/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, as specified in Vishay's datasheet. To maintain reliability under repetitive surges, designers must follow the recommended SMB (DO-214AA) mounting pad layout - including minimum copper area, thermal vias, and avoidance of solder mask over thermal pads. Derating above 25 °C ambient is required per Figure 2 in Document 88392.
