Product details
Overview
SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping inductive switching transients and ESD events on power rails and signal lines. It features a 7.5 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 8.33–9.21 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1.0 mA, 12.9 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 46.5 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - used in automotive body control modules, industrial sensor interfaces, and USB power input protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H pinout, SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H application, or SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free RoHS compliance, and real-world clamping performance data directly traceable to Vishay Document #88392 (Rev. 09-Jan-2024).
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds its specified VBR range (8.33–9.21 V). Its low incremental surge resistance ensures minimal voltage overshoot during fast transients, while the glass-passivated junction enables stable long-term reliability under repetitive surge stress.
The device is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine), operates from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of VBR (+0.067 %/°C), enabling predictable thermal drift in high-temperature environments like engine compartments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 7.5 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; sets safe margin below system rail (e.g., 9 V battery or 12 V supply). |
| VBR @ IT = 1.0 mA | 8.33–9.21 V - Measured breakdown range confirming robust avalanche initiation threshold for reliable transient detection. |
| VC @ IPPM = 46.5 A | 12.9 V - Clamped voltage during 600 W surge; defines worst-case overvoltage seen by downstream ICs (e.g., MCU I/O or LDO input). |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 µs waveform; supports common ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2/5a test profiles. |
| IPPM | 46.5 A - Peak surge current capability at rated clamping voltage; validates protection against 50–100 A automotive load dump surges. |
| TJmax | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables use in under-hood applications without thermal derating penalties up to ambient 105 °C. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Industry-standard 2-pin SMD outline (5.21 × 4.06 mm), compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering per J-STD-020 MSL Level 1. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, cathode-banded unidirectional configuration. Matte tin-plated leads, solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Polarity indicated by black band denoting cathode end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side connection point | Connected to ground or return path; completes conduction loop during transient clamping event. |
| Cathode | High-side connection point | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail); avalanche conduction initiates here when VWM is exceeded. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Validated clamping capacity for automotive load dump and inductive kick events per ISO 7637-2. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.5AHE3_B/H | Same electrical specs, but RoHS-compliant commercial grade (non-AEC-Q101); no halogen-free certification. | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. | Select SMBJ7.5AHE3_B/H for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications requiring identical clamping performance. |
| SMAJ7.5A-M3 | Lower 400 W PPPM rating; SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 140 °C/W vs. 100 °C/W). | Reduced surge margin and thermal performance; limited to lower-energy transients or lower ambient temperatures. | Choose SMAJ7.5A-M3 only if board space is constrained and surge threat level is ≤400 W (e.g., consumer IoT, not automotive). |
Compared with SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H, SMBJ7.5AHE3_B/H offers identical protection performance without AEC-Q101 validation, while SMAJ7.5A-M3 trades 33 % lower surge capacity and inferior thermal dissipation for smaller PCB area - making SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H the optimal choice for AEC-Q101-compliant, thermally demanding automotive and industrial deployments.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 12.9 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 46.5 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events - critical for ensuring compatibility with 3.3 V or 5 V ICs downstream of the SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H.
Is SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by its HM3 suffix and documentation in Vishay's official datasheet (Document #88392, Rev. 09-Jan-2024). This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling (TCT), validating its suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H?
The "HM3" suffix in SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101-qualified construction. It distinguishes this variant from commercial-grade versions (e.g., E3) and confirms compliance with JEDEC JS709E material standards, EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, and automotive reliability requirements - essential for Tier 1 supplier BOMs.
How does SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H compare to SMBJ7.5AHE3_B/H?
SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H and SMBJ7.5AHE3_B/H share identical electrical specifications (VWM, VBR, VC, PPPM) and packaging, but differ in qualification: HM3 is halogen-free and AEC-Q101 qualified, whereas HE3 is RoHS-compliant commercial grade without automotive validation. Use SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H where automotive compliance is mandatory; SMBJ7.5AHE3_B/H suffices for industrial or consumer applications.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H from junction to ambient?
The typical thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA) for SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/H is 100 °C/W, measured on a standard 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pad layout per JEDEC standards. This value enables accurate thermal derating calculations - for example, at 75 °C ambient, the device supports ~3.75 W continuous power dissipation before reaching its 150 °C maximum junction temperature.
