Product details
Overview
SMBJ70AHE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed to protect sensitive electronics against voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lightning surges. It features a 70 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 77.8–86.0 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 113 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 5.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power capability with 10/1000 µs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ70AHE3/52 datasheet, SMBJ70AHE3/52 pinout, SMBJ70AHE3/52 application, or SMBJ70AHE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 5.3 A surge, unidirectional polarity for DC rail protection, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VBR, it avalanches to divert surge current away from downstream ICs or MOSFETs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at 70 V).
Thermal design relies on RθJA = 100 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W, requiring PCB copper pad area per datasheet recommendation (0.2" × 0.2") to sustain 600 W pulses. The device is rated for TJ = –55 °C to +150 °C and meets MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 70 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin. |
| VBR min/max | 77.8 V / 86.0 V at IT = 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures predictable turn-on across temperature and unit variation. |
| VC @ IPPM | 113 V at 5.3 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress on protected circuitry. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling with standard 10/1000 µs waveform; validates robustness against IEC 61000-4-5 surges. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - Reverse leakage at rated stand-off; critical for low-power sensor or battery-backed circuits. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; supports operation in under-hood automotive or industrial enclosures. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Standardized surface-mount outline with cathode band marking; compatible with J-STD-002 soldering. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads; cathode indicated by band on body; terminals solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or lowest potential node; completes conduction path during transient clamping. |
| Cathode | High-side surge input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 70 V supply rail); avalanche conduction initiates here when V > VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per JEDEC standards. |
| 600 W peak pulse power | Withstands 10/1000 µs surges up to 5.3 A without degradation-meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 immunity requirements. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage drift over time and temperature; improves long-term field reliability. |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C peak without moisture-induced failure; eliminates bake requirement pre-assembly. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes VC rise under high di/dt conditions-critical for protecting fast-switching MOSFET gates and logic inputs. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ70AHE3/52 under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMBJ70AHE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V at 5.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay document 88392 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events. The SMBJ70AHE3/52 maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ70AHE3/52 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ70AHE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the "MECHANICAL DATA" section of Vishay document 88392. The HE3 suffix denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified construction. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD, making SMBJ70AHE3/52 suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive modules.
What is the reverse leakage current of SMBJ70AHE3/52 at its rated stand-off voltage?
The SMBJ70AHE3/52 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at its 70 V stand-off voltage (VWM), tested at TA = 25 °C. This low leakage is critical for battery-powered or high-impedance sensor interfaces where standby current must be minimized. The specification is verified in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table for SMBJ70A on page 2 of document 88392.
Does SMBJ70AHE3/52 have a bidirectional variant?
No, SMBJ70AHE3/52 is unidirectional only. Bidirectional variants use the "CA" suffix (e.g., SMBJ70CA), which are explicitly listed separately in the datasheet. The "A" suffix in SMBJ70AHE3/52 confirms unidirectional polarity, with cathode marked by a band on the SMB package body-essential for correct orientation in DC rail protection layouts.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SMBJ70AHE3/52?
The SMBJ70AHE3/52 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, as specified in the "THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS" table on page 3 of Vishay document 88392. This value assumes no additional heatsinking and guides PCB layout for sustained power dissipation up to 5.0 W.
