Product details
Overview
SMBJ64CD-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, with 64 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 72.2–77.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 102 V clamping voltage (VC) at 5.88 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 μs waveform. It protects signal lines and power rails in industrial sensor interfaces and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ64CD-M3/H datasheet, SMBJ64CD-M3/H pinout, SMBJ64CD-M3/H application, or SMBJ64CD-M3/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, bidirectional polarity behavior, thermal derating curves, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and RoHS-compliant halogen-free construction - all critical for ESD and surge protection design validation.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, delivering identical clamping performance whether subjected to positive or negative transients. Its low 0.5 μA maximum reverse leakage at VWM and ±3.5 % VBR tolerance ensure predictable turn-on behavior without false triggering in low-power analog or digital I/O circuits.
The device uses silicon avalanche junction technology optimized for fast response (<1 ns), low dynamic impedance, and stable clamping under repetitive surge conditions. Thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, mounted on minimum pad layout) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-mount) supports reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature in compact PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 64 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe working range for protected circuitry. |
| VBR min/max | 72.2 V / 77.5 V at 1 mA - Tight ±3.5 % tolerance ensures consistent breakdown across production lots and temperature. |
| VC @ IPPM | 102 V at 5.88 A - Clamping voltage during 10/1000 μs surge; limits transient energy delivered to downstream components. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; enables robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤0.5 μA - Ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity and battery life in high-impedance sensor or standby circuits. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; supports operation in industrial environments with elevated ambient temperatures. |
| MSL Level | Level 1 (J-STD-020) - No floor life limitation; compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, bidirectional configuration with no cathode band marking. Matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability requirements; M3 suffix indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, industrial-grade construction and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ64CA-E3/52 (Vishay) | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs; differs only in packaging (tape-and-reel vs. bulk) and M3 vs. standard RoHS compliance. | No functional difference; used interchangeably where M3 halogen-free requirement is not mandated. | Select SMBJ64CD-M3/H when halogen-free, JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and industrial-grade reliability are required. |
| 1.5SMC64CA (Littelfuse) | Same SMB package and bidirectional 64 V rating, but higher 1.5 kW peak power and 100 A IPPM - larger junction area and different thermal design. | Higher power handling suits more severe surge environments (e.g., outdoor telecom cabinets), but requires larger PCB pad for thermal management. | Choose 1.5SMC64CA only if system-level testing confirms need for >600 W surge absorption; otherwise SMBJ64CD-M3/H offers optimal size/power balance. |
Compared with SMBJ64CA-E3/52, SMBJ64CD-M3/H adds halogen-free construction and whisker resistance without altering electrical performance; versus 1.5SMC64CA, it trades peak power headroom for smaller footprint and lower thermal mass - making it ideal for space-constrained, high-volume industrial PCBs requiring strict environmental compliance.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ64CD-M3/H and how is it measured?
The SMBJ64CD-M3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 102 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 5.88 A using a standardized 10/1000 μs double-exponential surge waveform. This value reflects the actual voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case transient events and is guaranteed across temperature and production lot variations per Vishay's 87606 specification document.
Is SMBJ64CD-M3/H unidirectional or bidirectional, and how does that affect circuit layout?
SMBJ64CD-M3/H is a bidirectional TVS diode, meaning it provides symmetrical clamping for both positive and negative transients without polarity constraints. Unlike unidirectional variants, it lacks a cathode band - eliminating orientation sensitivity during automated placement and simplifying PCB layout for AC-coupled or floating signal lines such as RS-485 or CAN bus stubs.
Does SMBJ64CD-M3/H meet lead-free reflow requirements, and what is its MSL rating?
Yes, SMBJ64CD-M3/H meets lead-free reflow requirements with a peak temperature rating of 260 °C and is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 - indicating unlimited floor life and no baking required prior to assembly. The M3 suffix confirms compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and halogen-free material composition, satisfying IPC-1752 and EU RoHS directives.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SMBJ64CD-M3/H at its stand-off voltage?
The maximum reverse leakage current (ID) for SMBJ64CD-M3/H is 0.5 μA when biased at its 64 V stand-off voltage (VWM) and tested at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal impact on high-impedance sensor bridges, battery-monitoring circuits, and always-on microcontroller wake-up inputs - critical for energy-sensitive edge devices.
How does the thermal resistance of SMBJ64CD-M3/H affect its power dissipation capability?
SMBJ64CD-M3/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended pad layout. This means a 1 W steady-state power dissipation raises junction temperature by ~100 °C above ambient - confirming why its rated DC power dissipation is limited to 1.0 W at 25 °C and derates linearly above that temperature, as shown in Figure 5 of the Vishay 87606 datasheet.
