Product details
Overview
SMBJ70AHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. 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, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with a 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive ECUs, industrial I/O modules, and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ70AHE3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ70AHE3_B/H pinout, SMBJ70AHE3_B/H application, or SMBJ70AHE3_B/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and packaging details for reliable circuit protection design and BOM validation.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a clamping device that remains non-conductive below its 70 V stand-off voltage and rapidly transitions to low-impedance conduction when transient voltages exceed its 77.8–86.0 V breakdown threshold. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance (<1.0 µA at VWM) and repeatable surge response across temperature.
The device sustains 600 W peak pulse power per 10/1000 µs waveform with <0.5 ns response time and low incremental surge resistance, enabling effective suppression of ESD, lightning-induced surges, and inductive switching transients on 24 V and 48 V systems. Its AEC-Q101 qualification confirms suitability for automotive under-hood and body electronics applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 70 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin for 24 V/48 V systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 77.8 V / 86.0 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensuring predictable turn-on during transients without premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPPM | 113 V at 5.3 A - Clamping voltage limiting downstream component stress during 600 W surge events. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability with 10/1000 µs waveform, supporting IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3/4 compliance. |
| IPPM | 5.3 A - Peak pulse current corresponding to VC; used to size series impedance and verify PCB trace current capacity. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature enabling operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ70AHM3_B/H | Halogen-free variant with identical electrical specs, same AEC-Q101 qualification, and MSL Level 1 rating. | No functional difference; selected where halogen-free compliance is mandated by OEM environmental policies. | Direct material substitution when RoHS + halogen-free certification is required without changing layout or test plans. |
| SMCJ70AHE3_A/H | Same VWM/VBR/VC but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; 1500 W PPPM, RθJA = 50 °C/W. | Higher power handling and better thermal dissipation, suited for higher-energy surge environments (e.g., EV charging stations). | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W or board space allows larger footprint for improved long-term reliability. |
Compared with SMBJ70AHE3_B/H, SMBJ70AHM3_B/H offers identical protection performance with halogen-free construction, while SMCJ70AHE3_A/H provides 2.5× higher surge power capacity in a larger package - enabling trade-offs between board area, environmental compliance, and energy absorption headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ70AHE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ70AHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 5.3 A, measured using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a full-power transient event and is critical for verifying compatibility with downstream component voltage ratings. The SMBJ70AHE3_B/H maintains this clamping performance across its operational temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SMBJ70AHE3_B/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ70AHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024 (Document Number: 88392). This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - validating its use in automotive powertrain, body electronics, and ADAS modules. The "HE3" suffix explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 compliance, distinguishing it from commercial-grade variants.
What does the "B/H" suffix in SMBJ70AHE3_B/H indicate?
The "B/H" suffix in SMBJ70AHE3_B/H specifies the packaging configuration: "B" denotes the tape-and-reel orientation (standard embossed carrier tape), and "H" indicates the 7-inch reel size containing 750 units. This ordering code aligns with Vishay's preferred package code H in the Ordering Information table (page 3 of document 88392), confirming compatibility with automated SMT placement equipment calibrated for 7" reels and standard pitch.
How does SMBJ70AHE3_B/H compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H?
SMBJ70AHE3_B/H is unidirectional and intended for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed, offering lower leakage (<1.0 µA at 70 V) and no reverse conduction path. In contrast, SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H is bidirectional with symmetrical clamping in both directions - suitable for AC lines or differential signals but exhibiting higher leakage at stand-off. The SMBJ70AHE3_B/H cannot replace SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H in AC-coupled applications due to its inherent polarity dependence and lack of reverse breakdown capability.
What is the thermal resistance and recommended pad layout for SMBJ70AHE3_B/H?
The SMBJ70AHE3_B/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, as defined in Figure 6 of the Vishay datasheet. This pad layout is essential to achieve rated power dissipation and prevent thermal runaway during repetitive surge events. Deviating from this layout increases RθJA and reduces sustainable pulse repetition rate.
