Product details
Overview
SMBJ70CAHM3_A/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 standoff 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 (10/1000 µs waveform), used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H datasheet, SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H pinout, SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H application, or SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional surge protection capability, low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45), AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free RoHS compliance (HM3 suffix), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamping protector with symmetrical avalanche breakdown in both directions, 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 VWM), while the low incremental surge resistance supports fast energy dissipation during ESD or lightning-induced surges.
The SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and exhibits a VBR temperature coefficient of +0.105 %/°C - critical for thermal stability in automotive under-hood environments. Its MSL Level 1 rating (peak reflow 260 °C) and matte tin-plated leads ensure robust manufacturability in high-volume SMT assembly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 70 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant conduction begins; defines safe operating margin below clamping threshold. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 77.8–86.0 V at 1 mA - guaranteed avalanche onset range; ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 113 V at IPPM = 5.3 A (10/1000 µs) - peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case transient; determines stress on downstream components. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - maximum transient energy absorption capability under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform; enables protection against IEC 61000-4-5 surge events. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | <1.0 µA at 70 V - minimal standby power loss and signal integrity impact in high-impedance circuits. |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions without derating. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with 5.59 mm × 4.06 mm footprint and 2.20 mm height; optimized for automated pick-and-place and thermal pad layout. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ70CAHE3_A/H | Same electrical specs, but RoHS-compliant commercial grade (E3) without halogen-free certification. | Lacks halogen-free declaration; not acceptable for automotive OEMs requiring IPC-1752A Class 3 reporting. | Select SMBJ70CAHE3_A/H only for cost-sensitive industrial designs where halogen content is unrestricted. |
| SMAJ70CAHM3_A/H | Lower PPPM (400 W vs. 600 W); same VWM/VBR/VC; SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA). | Insufficient surge margin for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4; unsuitable for 24 V/48 V industrial power inputs. | Choose SMAJ70CAHM3_A/H only for space-constrained PCBs with lower-energy transients (e.g., USB data lines). |
Compared with SMBJ70CAHE3_A/H and SMAJ70CAHM3_A/H, the SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H uniquely delivers halogen-free compliance plus 600 W surge capacity in the SMB outline - making it the only option satisfying both AEC-Q101 and IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 requirements in a single device.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V at 5.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the 10/1000 µs waveform condition. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a standardized surge event. The SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified (indicated by the HM3 suffix), meaning it has passed stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life required for automotive electronic modules. Its 150 °C maximum junction temperature and MSL Level 1 rating further support use in engine control units, body controllers, and infotainment power supplies where SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H provides certified transient protection.
How does the bidirectional design of SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H affect its circuit placement?
The SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H has no polarity marking and functions identically in both directions, allowing placement across any two nodes subject to differential transients - such as LIN bus lines, RS-485 pairs, or AC-coupled sensor outputs. Unlike unidirectional TVS diodes, SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H eliminates orientation errors during automated assembly and avoids the need for dual-device configurations, reducing BOM count and PCB area while maintaining symmetric clamping behavior.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H?
The SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H 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. This value assumes still air conditions and directly impacts steady-state power dissipation limits - for example, at 5.0 W continuous power (PD), the junction temperature rise would be 500 °C above ambient, which exceeds its 150 °C rating; thus SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H is intended for transient, not continuous, power handling.
Does SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the "HM3" suffix in SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H explicitly denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and IPC-1752A material declarations. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives, and the matte tin-plated leads comply with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. This makes SMBJ70CAHM3_A/H acceptable for green manufacturing programs requiring full substance compliance reporting.
