Product details
Overview
SMBJ75AHE3/5B 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, 121 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 5.0 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive ECUs, industrial sensor interfaces, and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75AHE3/5B datasheet, SMBJ75AHE3/5B pinout, SMBJ75AHE3/5B application, or SMBJ75AHE3/5B equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), junction temperature range (−55 to +150 °C), and packaging details for tape-and-reel delivery (3200 pcs per 13″ reel).
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device: reverse-biased during normal operation with ≤1.0 µA leakage at 75 V, then rapidly avalanches when transient voltage exceeds VBR to limit downstream voltage to ≤121 V. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low incremental surge resistance.
Designed for high-reliability environments, SMBJ75AHE3/5B meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements and is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature. It uses a single-diode configuration in SMB package with cathode band marking, compatible with automated SMT placement and reflow profiles up to 260 °C (MSL Level 1).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin. |
| VBR (min/max) | 83.3 V / 92.1 V at 1.0 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range; ensures predictable turn-on under transients. |
| VC @ IPPM | 121 V at 5.0 A - Clamped voltage during 600 W 10/1000 µs surge; determines protected circuit's max stress level. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; validates immunity to common lightning/inductive-switching surges. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Non-repetitive forward surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine); supports inrush or fault-current events. |
| TJ range | −55 °C to +150 °C - Full operational junction temperature span; enables use in under-hood automotive or industrial enclosures. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard 0.2″ × 0.2″ copper pads; informs PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads; polarity indicated by cathode band on one end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path) in unidirectional protection configuration. |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 75 V supply rail); avalanche conduction occurs when voltage exceeds VBR. |

Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 75 V battery-fed control modules (e.g., HVAC actuators, seat motor drivers) against load dump and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between supply rail and ground to clamp positive transients above 75 V. Use Value: Limits voltage seen by downstream DC-DC converters and microcontrollers to ≤121 V, preventing latch-up or oxide damage. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS mounted across sensor input terminals to shunt fast-rising EFT bursts (IEC 61000-4-4) before reaching ADC inputs. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity by clamping transients within 1 ns response time while adding <1 pF junction capacitance at zero bias. |
| Telecom DC Power Input Protection | Motor Drive Gate Driver Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side overvoltage suppression on −48 V or +75 V telecom rectifier outputs feeding base station RF modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS connected anode-to-ground, cathode-to-rail to absorb repetitive surges from AC line coupling. Use Value: Withstands 600 W pulses at 0.01% duty cycle - enabling long-term operation in continuously powered infrastructure equipment. |
Use Scenario: Shielding high-side N-channel MOSFET gate drivers in BLDC inverters from Miller-induced voltage spikes during switching transitions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed between gate and source to clamp dv/dt-induced overshoot exceeding driver IC's absolute max rating. Use Value: Fast response and low clamping voltage (121 V) prevent unintended turn-on or gate oxide failure in 100 V-class MOSFETs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75AHM3/5B | Halogen-free variant with identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; same SMB package and pinout. | No functional difference; selected where halogen-free compliance is mandated by environmental policy (e.g., EU RoHS Annex XIV). | Choose SMBJ75AHM3/5B when halogen-free materials are required; otherwise SMBJ75AHE3/5B offers standard RoHS compliance. |
| SMCJ75AHE3/5B | Same VWM, VBR, and VC, but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package with higher PPPM (1500 W) and lower RθJA (50 °C/W). | Used where higher surge energy absorption or improved thermal dissipation is needed - e.g., primary-side AC/DC input stages. | Select SMCJ75AHE3/5B only if system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W; SMBJ75AHE3/5B remains optimal for space-constrained secondary-side protection. |
Compared with SMBJ75AHM3/5B, SMBJ75AHE3/5B provides identical protection performance with standard RoHS compliance; versus SMCJ75AHE3/5B, it trades higher power handling for 40% smaller PCB footprint and tighter layout integration in dense automotive modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ75AHE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ75AHE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V at 5.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events. The SMBJ75AHE3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ75AHE3/5B qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ75AHE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling (TC), unbiased highly accelerated stress test (UHAST), and electrostatic discharge (ESD). This qualification confirms its suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics where reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is critical. The "HE3" suffix explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 compliance.
What does the "5B" in SMBJ75AHE3/5B indicate?
The "5B" in SMBJ75AHE3/5B specifies the packaging format: 13-inch diameter plastic tape-and-reel with 3200 units per reel. This differs from "52", which denotes a 7-inch reel with 750 units. The "5B" configuration supports high-volume SMT assembly lines and reduces changeover frequency during automated placement. All electrical and reliability specifications of SMBJ75AHE3/5B remain identical regardless of reel size.
How does SMBJ75AHE3/5B differ from bidirectional variants like SMBJ75CAHE3/5B?
SMBJ75AHE3/5B is unidirectional and features a cathode band marking; it conducts only in reverse breakdown to clamp positive transients on DC rails. In contrast, SMBJ75CAHE3/5B is bidirectional with no polarity marking and clamps both positive and negative excursions - used in AC-coupled or floating signal lines. Their VWM and VC values differ: SMBJ75AHE3/5B has VWM = 75 V and VC = 121 V, while SMBJ75CAHE3/5B has symmetric ratings optimized for bipolar waveforms.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ75AHE3/5B, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The SMBJ75AHE3/5B 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 assumes standard FR-4 board construction and guides minimum pad area and copper pour design. To maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C under sustained 5.0 W power dissipation, designers must ensure adequate copper area and avoid excessive ambient temperature rise - especially in sealed automotive enclosures.
