Product details
Overview
SMBJ7.0D-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping inductive switching transients and ESD events on power and signal lines. It features a 7.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 7.90–8.48 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 10 mA, 11.8 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 50.8 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed in industrial sensor interfaces and DC power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ7.0D-M3/H datasheet, SMBJ7.0D-M3/H pinout, SMBJ7.0D-M3/H application, or SMBJ7.0D-M3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, ±3.5 % VBR tolerance, low leakage (<500 μA at VWM), M3 halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on standard PCB pad layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping device triggered by overvoltage events exceeding its reverse stand-off voltage of 7.0 V. Its silicon avalanche structure delivers sub-nanosecond response time and low incremental surge resistance to limit transient energy before it damages downstream ICs or MOSFETs.
The SMBJ7.0D-M3/H is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 with 260 °C reflow peak. Its thermal resistance is 125 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, mounted on minimum recommended pad) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-mount), supporting reliable operation under repetitive surge conditions when properly heatsinked.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 7.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage; ensures no conduction during normal system operation. |
| VBR min/max | 7.90 V / 8.48 V at 10 mA - Tight ±3.5 % tolerance enables precise overvoltage threshold setting without margin overdesign. |
| VC @ IPPM | 11.8 V at 50.8 A - Clamping voltage under 10/1000 μs surge defines worst-case stress imposed on protected circuitry. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capacity determines survivability against lightning-induced or inductive kickback surges. |
| ID @ VWM | <500 μA - Low reverse leakage preserves signal integrity and minimizes standby power loss in battery-powered systems. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Standardized surface-mount outline compatible with high-volume pick-and-place assembly and IPC-7351B footprints. |
| Mounting | M3 suffix - Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, industrial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability. |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or lowest potential node; forms current path during reverse-biased clamping event. |
| Cathode | High-side transient input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail or sensor output); carries surge current into anode during overvoltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±3.5 % VBR tolerance | Enables tighter system-level overvoltage margin control versus looser-tolerance alternatives, reducing need for derating. |

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-M3/HR | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs; HR suffix indicates enhanced reliability screening per AEC-Q200 Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C). | Required for automotive under-hood modules where extended temperature cycling and long-term reliability validation are mandated. | Select SMBJ7.0A-M3/HR only if AEC-Q200 qualification is contractually required; otherwise SMBJ7.0D-M3/H offers identical electrical performance at lower cost. |
| P6SMB7.0A | Same SMB package and 7.0 V VWM, but ±5 % VBR tolerance (7.22–7.78 V) and higher 1000 μA max ID at VWM. | Suitable for non-critical consumer applications where tighter clamping precision and ultra-low leakage are not required. | Choose P6SMB7.0A only for cost-sensitive designs accepting wider VBR spread and higher leakage; SMBJ7.0D-M3/H provides superior precision and leakage control. |
Compared with SMBJ7.0A-M3/HR and P6SMB7.0A, the SMBJ7.0D-M3/H delivers tighter ±3.5 % VBR tolerance and lower 500 μA leakage - making it optimal for industrial sensor and telecom line-card designs requiring precise clamping thresholds and minimal standby loading.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMBJ7.0D-M3/H under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The SMBJ7.0D-M3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 11.8 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 50.8 A using the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at the device terminals under defined test conditions and represents the upper bound of voltage seen by downstream circuitry during surge events - a critical parameter for ensuring protected ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Does the SMBJ7.0D-M3/H meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the SMBJ7.0D-M3/H carries the M3 suffix, which certifies it as halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and industrial grade per Vishay's material categorization standards. Its molding compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 solderability requirements - fulfilling environmental and manufacturability mandates for global electronics production.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SMBJ7.0D-M3/H at its stand-off voltage?
The SMBJ7.0D-M3/H specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 500 μA at its 7.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), tested at TA = 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal loading on sensitive analog sensor outputs and battery-powered circuits, preserving signal fidelity and extending operational runtime without compromising transient suppression capability.
Is SMBJ7.0D-M3/H suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, SMBJ7.0D-M3/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "D" suffix (as opposed to "CD" for bidirectional variants). It conducts only during reverse-biased overvoltage events - with the cathode band marking the high-side terminal. For AC or bipolar signal line protection, a bidirectional part such as SMBJ7.0CD-M3/H must be selected instead.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum junction temperature rating of SMBJ7.0D-M3/H?
The SMBJ7.0D-M3/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 125 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended PCB pad layout, and a junction-to-mount resistance (RθJM) of 20 °C/W. Its maximum rated junction temperature (TJ max) is +150 °C, enabling reliable operation in industrial environments with elevated ambient temperatures and repetitive surge duty cycles.
