Product details
Overview
SMBJ7.0AHE3_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 a 7.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 7.78–8.60 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 10 mA, 12.0 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 50.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ7.0AHE3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ7.0AHE3_B/H pinout, SMBJ7.0AHE3_B/H application, or SMBJ7.0AHE3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), clamping performance under 50 A surge, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device in series with DC power rails or parallel to sensitive inputs. Its glass-passivated junction enables fast response (<1 ns) to ESD and lightning-induced transients, while its low incremental surge resistance ensures minimal voltage overshoot during 10/1000 µs surges.
The SMBJ7.0AHE3_B/H is rated for -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature, meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (260 °C peak reflow), and carries AEC-Q101 qualification-confirmed by HE3 suffix-making it suitable for automotive power electronics where reliability under thermal cycling and humidity is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 7.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin below breakdown. |
| VBR min/max | 7.78 V / 8.60 V at IT = 10 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures predictable turn-on across production lots. |
| VC @ IPPM | 12.0 V at 50.0 A - Clamped voltage during worst-case 10/1000 µs surge; limits stress on downstream 5 V or 3.3 V logic. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability with 0.01 % duty cycle; supports repetitive surge events in motor drives. |
| ID @ VWM | 200 µA max - Low leakage preserves efficiency in battery-powered sensor nodes and standby circuits. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables use in under-hood automotive modules and industrial enclosures without derating at 85 °C ambient. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to ambient on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads; informs heatsinking requirements. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, cathode-banded unidirectional configuration. Dimensions: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm (L × W × H), matte tin-plated leads, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free (HE3 suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; connected to protected line ground or low-side return path. | Provides low forward voltage drop (VF ≤ 3.5 V at 50 A) during surge conduction; must be routed with low-inductance trace. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; marked with band, connected to positive rail or signal line to be protected. | Defines polarity-sensitive placement; reverse connection renders device non-functional for overvoltage clamping. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock per JESD22 standards. |
| 600 W peak pulse power | Handles IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV/2 Ω) without degradation when mounted per recommended pad layout. |
| Fast response time | <1 ns turn-on enables suppression of ESD events (IEC 61000-4-2 ±8 kV contact) before IC latch-up occurs. |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C peak without popcorn cracking or delamination during PCB assembly. |
| Glass passivated junction | Improves long-term stability of VBR and leakage under high-humidity environments (e.g., outdoor telecom enclosures). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.0A-E3/52 | Commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), same electrical specs and SMB package; no automotive qualification. | Limited to consumer/industrial designs without automotive reliability requirements. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for AEC-Q101 validation and extended temperature operation. |
| SMCJ7.0AHE3_A/H | Same AEC-Q101 qualification but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; higher IPPM (82.5 A) and lower RθJA (50 °C/W). | Better thermal performance for high-duty-cycle surge environments; requires larger PCB footprint. | Choose when system-level surge repetition rate exceeds 0.01 % duty cycle or ambient exceeds 105 °C. |
Compared with SMBJ7.0A-E3/52, the SMBJ7.0AHE3_B/H adds automotive qualification and extended temperature support without changing clamping behavior; versus SMCJ7.0AHE3_A/H, it trades thermal headroom and surge current capacity for space-constrained layouts.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ7.0AHE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ7.0AHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 12.0 V at 50.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and guarantees that downstream components see no more than 12.0 V during worst-case surge events, making SMBJ7.0AHE3_B/H suitable for protecting 5 V and 3.3 V logic interfaces without additional voltage margining.
Is SMBJ7.0AHE3_B/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ7.0AHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HE3" suffix in its part number. It undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life per AEC-Q101 Rev D. This qualification makes SMBJ7.0AHE3_B/H appropriate for under-hood and cabin electronics where reliability across -40 °C to +125 °C ambient is required.
What is the standoff voltage and breakdown range for SMBJ7.0AHE3_B/H?
The SMBJ7.0AHE3_B/H has a reverse stand-off voltage (VWM) of 7.0 V and a breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 7.78 V to 8.60 V at 10 mA test current. This 7.0 V VWM ensures compatibility with 5 V and 7 V nominal systems, while the tight VBR window provides consistent clamping onset across production units-critical for predictable protection in safety-critical designs.
Does SMBJ7.0AHE3_B/H support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, SMBJ7.0AHE3_B/H meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 and is rated for lead-free reflow with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C. Its matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102 solderability standards, and the molding compound satisfies UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements-ensuring robust assembly yield in modern SMT lines.
How does the thermal resistance of SMBJ7.0AHE3_B/H affect its power handling in real-world PCB layouts?
The SMBJ7.0AHE3_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. In practice, this means a 5.0 W steady-state dissipation raises junction temperature by 500 °C above ambient-so continuous DC power handling is limited to ~50 mW. However, its 600 W peak pulse rating applies only to short-duration transients (≤1 ms), where thermal mass dominates over steady-state conduction.
