Product details
Overview
SMBJ75AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, rated for 600W peak pulse power, 75V working stand-off voltage (VWM), and 121V maximum clamping voltage (VC@IPP). It delivers fast response (<1.0 ps), low leakage (<1 µA at 75V), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade surge protection in power rails and signal lines.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75AH datasheet, SMBJ75AH pinout, SMBJ75AH application, or SMBJ75AH equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, unidirectional polarity marking, thermal derating above 25°C, and compliance with ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b for automotive electronics.
Technical Context
The SMBJ75AH operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 83.3–92.1 V breakdown range (VBR @ 1 mA). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage, while the DO-214AA package supports automated placement and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
It is thermally characterized with RθJC = 10°C/W and RθJA = 55°C/W, enabling reliable operation up to TJ = 150°C. The device sustains 5.2 A peak impulse current (IPP) under 10/1000 µs waveform and exhibits forward voltage of 3.5 V @ 50 A - consistent with SMBJ5.0H–SMBJ90H unidirectional variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR min/max | 83.3 V / 92.1 V @ 1 mA - Ensures precise breakdown threshold with ±5.3% tolerance |
| VC@IPP | 121 V @ 5.2 A - Limits downstream voltage during 10/1000 µs surge to safe levels |
| PPK | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling per single 10/1000 µs transient |
| ID@VWM | <1 µA - Minimal leakage preserves system efficiency in standby or low-power modes |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables use in under-hood automotive environments without thermal derating failure |
| Package | DO-214AA (SMB) - Standardized surface-mount footprint compatible with IPC-7351B land patterns |

Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V/24 V battery-fed ECUs against load dump and alternator transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between power input and ground to clamp surges before reaching DC-DC converters or microcontrollers.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ75A | Same DO-214AC (SMA) package; slightly higher VC = 125 V @ 5.1 A; VBR = 83.3–92.2 V | Lower power rating (400 W); less suitable for sustained automotive load dump | Select SMAJ75A only if space-constrained layouts require smaller SMA footprint and 400 W suffices. |
| Vishay SMF75A | DO-219AB (SOD-123FL) package; 200 W rating; VC = 125 V @ 1.6 A; VBR = 83.3–92.1 V | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; limited to consumer/industrial use; lower IPP capacity | Choose SMF75A for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where 200 W clamping is adequate. |
Compared with SMAJ75A and SMF75A, the SMBJ75AH offers superior 600 W surge capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, and DO-214AA mechanical robustness-making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial systems requiring high-reliability transient suppression.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of SMBJ75AH?
The SMBJ75AH has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 83.3 V to 92.1 V at 1 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This tight tolerance ensures predictable clamping onset and compatibility with 75 V nominal systems. The device's VBR is validated during 100% production testing, and SMBJ75AH maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range of –55°C to +150°C.
Is SMBJ75AH suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, SMBJ75AH is a unidirectional TVS diode and must be used with correct polarity-cathode toward the protected line. For bidirectional protection, select SMBJ75CAH (with CAH suffix), which provides symmetrical clamping in both directions. Using SMBJ75AH in reverse-biased configurations outside its specified unidirectional operation risks premature failure or inadequate protection.
Does SMBJ75AH meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SMBJ75AH is AEC-Q101 qualified and tested per ISO 7637-2 for Pulse 1 (inductive load dump), Pulse 2a/2b (switching transients), and Pulse 3a/3b (EFT bursts). Its DO-214AA package passes JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity-making SMBJ75AH suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive applications.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ75AH under surge conditions?
The SMBJ75AH clamps to a maximum of 121 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs surge current of 5.2 A (IPP). This value is measured at TA = 25°C and represents worst-case performance; actual clamping may be lower at reduced ambient temperatures. The 121 V clamping level ensures downstream 36 V–48 V rated ICs remain within safe operating limits during transients.
How does SMBJ75AH compare to standard SMBJ75A in terms of performance?
SMBJ75AH differs from SMBJ75A by its tighter VBR range (83.3–92.1 V vs. 83.3–102 V) and lower clamping voltage (121 V vs. 134 V), resulting in improved protection margin. Both share the same DO-214AA package and 600 W rating, but SMBJ75AH's enhanced parameters make it preferable for high-reliability applications where precise voltage limiting is critical-such as automotive ADAS power domains or precision industrial sensors.
