Product details
Overview
SMBJ75AHE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 75 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 83.3–92.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, and clamps transients to ≤121 V at 5.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM), delivering 600 W peak pulse power with a 10/1000 µs waveform - ideal for safeguarding MOSFETs and ICs in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75AHE3/52 datasheet, SMBJ75AHE3/52 pinout, SMBJ75AHE3/52 application, or SMBJ75AHE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification (HE3 suffix), low incremental surge resistance, fast response time (<1 ns), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on standard PCB pad layouts per JEDEC DO-214AA footprint.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device: under normal conditions it presents high impedance above 75 V reverse stand-off voltage; when exposed to transient overvoltage exceeding its breakdown threshold (83.3–92.1 V), it avalanches rapidly to limit the voltage across protected circuitry to ≤121 V. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable performance and reliability across temperature extremes.
The SMBJ75AHE3/52 is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine), supports continuous power dissipation of 5.0 W at TA = 50 °C, and maintains operation across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range - meeting MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA; defines safe DC rail protection margin. |
| VBR (min/max) | 83.3 V / 92.1 V at IT = 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures predictable clamping initiation under ESD/EFT stress. |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤121 V at 5.0 A (10/1000 µs) - Clamped voltage during worst-case surge; determines maximum stress on downstream ICs. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; enables protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV/2 Ω). |
| IFSM | 100 A - Single half-sine surge rating (8.3 ms); supports protection of power converters subject to load dump events. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; allows reliable operation in enclosed industrial enclosures without forced cooling. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads; informs thermal design for sustained power dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA) - Surface-mount plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 rated molding compound, and cathode band marking for polarity identification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path); conducts during forward surge events. |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased clamping terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 75 V rail); avalanches into conduction when voltage exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability (temperature cycling, HTRB, UHAST); suitable for under-hood ECUs and ADAS power stages. |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Withstands repeated lightning-induced surges per IEC 61000-4-5; eliminates need for external series impedance in many designs. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage drift over 10+ years; critical for long-life industrial equipment. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles without preconditioning; reduces manufacturing complexity and cost. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.31) | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during clamping; protects sensitive gate oxides in 75 V-rated MOSFETs and controllers. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75A-E3/52 | Commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), same VWM/VBR/VC/PPPM, identical SMB package and pinout. | Lacks automotive qualification; unsuitable for safety-critical vehicle systems but adequate for consumer/industrial power supplies. | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs qualification needs. |
| SMBJ75CAHE3/52 | Bidirectional variant: symmetric VBR (83.3–92.1 V), same VC and PPPM, but no polarity marking and higher ID at low VWM. | Required for AC-coupled or bidirectional signal lines (e.g., RS-485, CAN FD); cannot replace unidirectional SMBJ75AHE3/52 on DC rails without circuit review. | Choose only for differential or alternating polarity protection; verify absence of forward conduction paths in target circuit. |

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of SMBJ75AHE3/52?
The SMBJ75AHE3/52 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 83.3 V to 92.1 V at a test current of 1 mA, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This range ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports robust design margins for 75 V DC systems. The SMBJ75AHE3/52 meets this specification under standard test conditions defined in Vishay document 88392.
Is SMBJ75AHE3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ75AHE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified, with full validation for temperature cycling, highly accelerated stress testing (HAST), and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing (UHAST). Its HE3 suffix explicitly denotes automotive-grade qualification, making it appropriate for under-hood and chassis-mounted modules where reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is mandatory. The SMBJ75AHE3/52 complies with all applicable AEC-Q101 test conditions per Vishay's certification documentation.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ75AHE3/52 at rated surge current?
The SMBJ75AHE3/52 clamps to a maximum of 121 V when subjected to its rated 5.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This clamping voltage is measured under controlled conditions per JEDEC standards and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ75AHE3/52 maintains this performance across its full operating temperature range.
Does SMBJ75AHE3/52 have a specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance?
Yes, the SMBJ75AHE3/52 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 is critical for calculating steady-state temperature rise under continuous power dissipation and must be used with the 5.0 W power rating at TA = 50 °C. The SMBJ75AHE3/52 thermal performance is validated per JEDEC JESD51-2.
How does the SMBJ75AHE3/52 differ from the bidirectional SMBJ75CAHE3/52?
The SMBJ75AHE3/52 is unidirectional with a marked cathode band and blocks current in reverse bias up to 75 V, while the SMBJ75CAHE3/52 is bidirectional with symmetrical clamping in both directions and no polarity marking. Their VBR, VC, and PPPM values are identical, but the SMBJ75AHE3/52 cannot substitute for the CA version in AC or differential signal paths without risking forward conduction. The SMBJ75AHE3/52 is intended exclusively for DC rail protection.
