Product details
Overview
SMBJ75AHE3_A/H 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 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 - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75AHE3_A/H datasheet, SMBJ75AHE3_A/H pinout, SMBJ75AHE3_A/H application, or SMBJ75AHE3_A/H equivalent, this part delivers AEC-Q101 qualified surge protection with RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and validated thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W) for reliable placement in automotive and industrial PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device: reverse-biased during normal operation, it remains high-impedance until transient voltage exceeds VWM (75 V), then avalanches to limit voltage across protected circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM).
It is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine), supports operating junction temperatures from –55 °C to +150 °C, and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of VBR (+0.106 %/°C), enabling predictable derating in elevated ambient conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin for 75 V systems. |
| VBR @ IT = 1 mA | 83.3–92.1 V - Breakdown voltage range confirming tight tolerance; ensures consistent triggering across production lots. |
| VC @ IPPM = 5.0 A | 121 V - Clamped voltage under 10/1000 µs surge; limits stress on downstream 100 V-rated components. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; sustains transient energy without failure per JEDEC standard waveform. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Single half-sine surge rating (8.3 ms); supports protection against inductive switch-off events in motor drives. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads; informs heatsinking requirements. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables use in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Cathode indicated by band marking; polarity-critical for unidirectional operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or lowest potential node; completes clamping path during overvoltage events. |
| Cathode | High-side transient input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 75 V rail); avalanche conduction occurs from cathode to anode when VWM exceeded. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics requiring reliability under thermal cycling and vibration. |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Handles high-energy transients from relay switching or load dump without degradation, supporting IEC 61000-4-5 compliance testing. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow) | Enables single-pass lead-free reflow assembly without moisture-induced cracking or delamination. |
| Glass passivated junction | Provides stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1.0 µA) over lifetime, critical for long-term field reliability in sealed systems. |
| Unidirectional polarity | Optimized for DC rail protection where reverse conduction is not required; avoids unnecessary capacitance on bidirectional signal lines. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75AHM3_A/H | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant variant with identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification. | No functional difference; selected where halogen-free material compliance is mandated by OEM environmental policy. | Direct substitution if halogen-free bill-of-materials is required; same footprint, thermal, and electrical behavior. |
| SMCJ75AHE3_A/H | Same VWM/VC but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; 1500 W PPPM, RθJA = 50 °C/W. | Higher power handling and lower thermal resistance; suited for higher-energy transients or less optimal PCB copper area. | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W or when ambient temperature exceeds 85 °C with limited heatsinking. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ75AHE3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ75AHE3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V at 5.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under standardized test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ75AHE3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range and after repeated surge exposure per AEC-Q101 stress testing.
Is SMBJ75AHE3_A/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ75AHE3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designated for automotive use with ordering code suffix "HE3". It meets stress test requirements for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and surge endurance - making it appropriate for engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS power domains. The SMBJ75AHE3_A/H also complies with MSL Level 1 for lead-free reflow and uses matte tin-plated leads qualified per JESD 22-B102.
How does the SMBJ75AHE3_A/H differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBJ75CA?
The SMBJ75AHE3_A/H is unidirectional and functions only during reverse overvoltage events, with a defined cathode band for correct PCB orientation. In contrast, SMBJ75CA is bidirectional and clamps in both polarities - suitable for AC lines or differential signals. The SMBJ75AHE3_A/H offers lower leakage (<1.0 µA at 75 V) and avoids capacitance doubling, making it preferred for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed and low standby current matters.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ75AHE3_A/H, and how does it affect layout?
The SMBJ75AHE3_A/H 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 minimum recommended pad layout per Vishay specification; reducing pad size or omitting thermal vias increases RθJA, potentially limiting surge repetition rate or derating peak power. For sustained operation above 85 °C ambient, the SMBJ75AHE3_A/H requires careful thermal design to avoid exceeding +150 °C junction temperature.
Can SMBJ75AHE3_A/H be used in place of SMBJ70AHE3_A/H or SMBJ85AHE3_A/H?
No - SMBJ75AHE3_A/H is not a direct replacement for SMBJ70AHE3_A/H or SMBJ85AHE3_A/H due to different stand-off voltages (VWM = 75 V vs. 70 V or 85 V) and corresponding breakdown ranges. Substituting alters the clamping threshold and may cause premature conduction (at 70 V) or insufficient protection (at 85 V). Each SMBJ75AHE3_A/H must be selected based on exact system rail voltage and margin requirements; cross-voltage substitution requires full electrical validation.
