Product details
Overview
SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features a 70 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 77.8–86.0 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and clamps to ≤113 V at 5.3 A peak surge current - deployed in industrial sensor interfaces and telecom line protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H pinout, SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H application, or SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification status, 113 V maximum clamping voltage at rated IPPM, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamping protector with symmetrical avalanche breakdown in both polarities, enabling suppression of positive and negative transients without polarity sensitivity. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1.0 µA at 70 V), while the low incremental surge resistance supports consistent clamping performance under repetitive 10/1000 µs surges at 0.01% duty cycle.
The SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H is rated for TJ = –55 °C to +150 °C operation and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W) and RθJL = 20 °C/W define power derating behavior above 25 °C ambient, critical for sustained transient duty in enclosed industrial enclosures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ70CA-E3/52 | Commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), same VWM/VBR/VC specs, identical SMB package | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs without AEC requirements | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability validation needs |
| SMAJ70CAHE3_A/H | Lower PPPM (400 W vs. 600 W), SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 140 °C/W) | Reduced surge margin and thermal performance; limited to lower-energy transients | Choose only if board space is constrained and peak surge current remains ≤3.5 A |
Compared with SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H, SMBJ70CA-E3/52 offers identical electrical protection but omits AEC-Q101 validation, while SMAJ70CAHE3_A/H trades 33% lower pulse power and inferior thermal dissipation for smaller PCB area - making SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H optimal for automotive and high-reliability industrial surge defense.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H?
The "CA" suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration: SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H conducts and clamps symmetrically for both positive and negative voltage transients, unlike unidirectional "A" variants that require correct polarity orientation. This eliminates need for polarity-aware placement in AC-coupled or floating circuits, and is confirmed in Vishay's documentation under "DEVICES FOR BIDIRECTION APPLICATIONS".
Is SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H carries the "HE3" suffix, indicating it is RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified. Per Vishay's ordering information, "HE3" parts meet RoHS requirements but are not halogen-free; halogen-free versions use the "HM3" suffix (e.g., SMBJ70CAHM3_B/H). The "HE3" designation is explicitly defined in the mechanical data section.
What is the maximum clamping voltage for SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) for SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H is 113 V, measured at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 5.3 A using a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for SMBJ70A (bidirectional variant), and applies directly to SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H as part of the SMBJ70CA family.
Does SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H require a heatsink for standard operation?
No, SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H is designed for surface-mount operation without external heatsinking under typical transient conditions. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W) assumes mounting on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal, as specified in the datasheet notes. Continuous power dissipation is limited to 5.0 W, but transient events are non-repetitive - heatsinking is unnecessary unless operating near thermal limits in high-ambient or high-duty-cycle scenarios.
How does the "_B/H" suffix affect packaging and delivery of SMBJ70CAHE3_B/H?
The "_B/H" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging in 7" diameter reels containing 750 units, using plastic carrier tape (package code "H"). This is confirmed in the Ordering Information table, where "SMBJ5.0AHE3_B/H" is listed with base quantity 750 and delivery mode "7\" diameter plastic tape and reel". The "B" denotes revision level; "H" defines the reel size and quantity format used for SMT placement equipment compatibility.
