Product details
Overview
SMBJ70-E3/52 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 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 (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 µs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ70-E3/52 datasheet, SMBJ70-E3/52 pinout, SMBJ70-E3/52 application, or SMBJ70-E3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected device's absolute maximum rating, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), unidirectional polarity marking (cathode band), and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads suitable for J-STD-002 soldering.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device that remains high-impedance below VWM (70 V) and rapidly avalanches above VBR to limit transient overvoltage. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM).
It delivers 600 W peak pulse power handling under standardized 10/1000 µs surge conditions, with fast response time (<1.0 ns) and low incremental surge resistance - enabling effective suppression of ESD, lightning-induced surges, and inductive switching spikes on DC rails and low-speed signal paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 70 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; sets upper limit for normal circuit operation. |
| VBR min/max | 77.8 V / 86.0 V at IT = 1 mA - guaranteed avalanche onset range; defines minimum overvoltage threshold for protection activation. |
| VC @ IPPM | 113 V at 5.3 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; must stay below protected device's absolute max rating. |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient energy absorption capability; determines survivability against standardized surge waveforms. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads; guides PCB copper area requirements for thermal management. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - surface-mount outline with cathode band marking; compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - cathode marked by band; blocks forward conduction, clamps only reverse transients. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability rating; matte tin-plated leads, solderable per J-STD-002; polarity indicated by cathode band on one end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side connection point | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes clamping path during reverse transient. |
| Cathode | High-side connection point | Connected to protected line (e.g., 70 V supply rail); band-marked terminal; conducts avalanche current when line exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power | Enables robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV/2 Ω) surges without degradation under repetitive duty cycle (0.01 %). |
| 113 V clamping voltage at 5.3 A | Provides ≥15 V margin below typical 130 V absolute max rating of 100 V-rated MOSFETs and DC-DC controllers. |
| Low profile SMB package | 0.220" × 0.155" footprint with 0.096" height - fits space-constrained industrial and telecom PCB layouts. |
| RoHS-compliant E3 suffix | Meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; matte tin plating ensures compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak. |
| 150 °C max junction temperature | Supports operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments (e.g., motor drives, solar inverters) without derating below 70 V VWM. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drive Power Supply | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of 70 V auxiliary power rail feeding gate drivers and microcontrollers against load dump and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamping device placed between rail and ground to shunt surge energy away from downstream ICs.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff protector on 12 V supply input to BCM subassembly; activated only during >77.8 V overvoltage events. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or oxide damage in 5 V/3.3 V logic ICs by clamping surges before they propagate through local regulation stages. |
| Telecom Remote Radio Unit (RRU) | Consumer Smart Home Hub Power Input |
Use Scenario: DC input protection for outdoor RRU units powered via 48 V PoE++ or centralized DC feed, subject to lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary front-end TVS on main 48–72 V input stage; coordinated with upstream fuses and secondary filtering. Use Value: Absorbs 600 W surge energy while maintaining <113 V clamping level, ensuring no overvoltage reaches isolated DC-DC converters or FPGAs. | Use Scenario: Protection of USB-C PD input stage (up to 20 V) and internal 70 V intermediate bus in multi-rail smart home gateway. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-stage TVS on 70 V buck-derived rail powering RF SoCs and memory subsystems. Use Value: Provides fail-safe clamping margin for ±10 % input tolerance and transient overshoot during hot-plug events, avoiding brownout or reset faults. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ70A-E3/52 | Same electrical specs and package; identical marking code "NP" per Vishay datasheet table; E3/52 denotes same RoHS-compliant tape-and-reel packaging. | No functional difference; alternate part number format used interchangeably in Vishay documentation and distributor listings. | Select based on inventory availability; both share identical qualification, thermal performance, and surge ratings. |
| SMCJ70A | Higher 1500 W PPPM rating, larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, higher RθJA (60 °C/W), same VWM/VBR/VC values. | Better suited for higher-energy surges but requires larger PCB area and different pad layout; not drop-in compatible due to footprint mismatch. | Choose SMCJ70A only if surge threat level exceeds 600 W; otherwise SMBJ70-E3/52 offers optimal size-power balance. |
Compared with SMBJ70A-E3/52 (identical function) and SMCJ70A (higher-power alternative), SMBJ70-E3/52 delivers verified 600 W surge immunity in the smallest standard surface-mount TVS footprint - making it ideal for space-constrained designs where 70 V rail protection is required without over-engineering.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ70-E3/52 under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMBJ70-E3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V at 5.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay document 88392 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events - critical for ensuring compatibility with 100 V-rated downstream components.
Is SMBJ70-E3/52 RoHS-compliant and lead-free solder compatible?
Yes, SMBJ70-E3/52 carries the E3 suffix, indicating full RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements and support lead-free reflow profiles with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C, as confirmed in the Mechanical Data section of Vishay document 88392.
Does SMBJ70-E3/52 have AEC-Q101 qualification?
No, SMBJ70-E3/52 is a commercial-grade part. For AEC-Q101 qualified versions, select the HE3 or HM3 suffix variants (e.g., SMBJ70AHE3_B), which are explicitly noted in the Ordering Information table of Vishay document 88392 as meeting automotive stress testing requirements.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ70-E3/52, and how does it affect PCB layout?
SMBJ70-E3/52 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. This value mandates adequate copper pour area around both terminals to maintain junction temperature below 150 °C during repeated surge events - undersized pads will cause premature thermal failure.
How is polarity identified on SMBJ70-E3/52, and why does it matter for circuit design?
SMBJ70-E3/52 is unidirectional and marked with a cathode band on one end - the banded terminal connects to the protected line (e.g., 70 V rail), while the unmarked end connects to ground. Correct orientation is essential: reverse installation prevents clamping action and may cause catastrophic short-circuit during overvoltage events.
