Product details
Overview
SMBJ75AHM3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in 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 industrial motor drives, automotive body control modules, and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75AHM3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ75AHM3_B/H pinout, SMBJ75AHM3_B/H application, or SMBJ75AHM3_B/H equivalent, this part delivers AEC-Q101 qualified surge immunity, halogen-free RoHS compliance, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity - critical for high-reliability embedded power rail protection where thermal stability, low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), and fast response time are mandatory.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device, leveraging an avalanche breakdown mechanism to limit transient voltages before they damage downstream ICs or MOSFETs. Its junction temperature range spans –55 °C to +150 °C, and it exhibits a typical thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
The SMBJ75AHM3_B/H is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine), supports automated SMT placement, and meets UL 497B recognition (QVGQ2) for protector classification - confirming suitability for safety-critical surge suppression in regulated industrial and automotive subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates; defines safe DC rail margin for 72 V nominal systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 83.3 V / 92.1 V at IT = 1.0 mA - tight breakdown window ensures predictable turn-on threshold across temperature and unit variation. |
| VC @ IPPM | 121 V at 5.0 A - clamping voltage under full-rated surge; limits stress on protected 100 V-rated MOSFETs or controllers. |
| PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 µs) - peak pulse power handling capacity; sustains repetitive transients up to 0.01% duty cycle without degradation. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - ultra-low reverse leakage preserves battery life and avoids false triggering in low-power sensor nodes. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and enclosed industrial enclosures without derating. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - standardized surface-mount footprint compatible with IPC-7351B land patterns; 0.220" × 0.155" body size. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, unidirectional polarity marked by cathode band. Matte tin-plated leads, solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Meets MSL Level 1 (peak reflow 260 °C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or lowest potential node; completes clamping path during positive transients on cathode side. |
| Cathode | Protected line input | Connected to the line being protected (e.g., 72 V supply rail); avalanche conduction occurs when voltage exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing - suitable for BCM, lighting, and ADAS power domains. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | HM3 suffix confirms halogen-free molding compound and full RoHS compliance - meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-20. |
| 600 W peak pulse power | Handles IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV line-earth) without failure when properly mounted on 5 mm × 5 mm copper pads. |
| Fast response time | <1.0 ps intrinsic junction response - clamps transients before propagation to sensitive logic or analog circuitry. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Ensures minimal VC overshoot during high-di/dt events - critical for protecting fast-switching GaN FETs and high-speed ADC references. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75AHE3_B/H | Same electrical specs, but RoHS-compliant with lead-based finish (E3 suffix); not halogen-free. | Acceptable for commercial/industrial use where halogen-free requirement is waived. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs halogen-free mandate and AEC-Q101 is not required. |
| SMCJ75A-H | Higher 1500 W PPPM, larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, 125 V VC at 12.3 A - physically incompatible pinout. | Used where higher energy absorption is needed (e.g., primary AC/DC input stages), but requires PCB redesign. | Choose only if system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W capability and board space permits larger footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ75AHM3_B/H, the SMBJ75AHE3_B/H offers identical clamping performance without halogen-free assurance, while the SMCJ75A-H provides greater surge margin at the cost of board area and layout compatibility - making SMBJ75AHM3_B/H optimal for space-constrained, automotive-qualified 72–80 V rail protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ75AHM3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ75AHM3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V at 5.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and ensures protected components see no more than 121 V during surge events. The SMBJ75AHM3_B/H achieves this with low incremental surge resistance and fast avalanche response, making it suitable for safeguarding 100 V-rated power semiconductors.
Is SMBJ75AHM3_B/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ75AHM3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the HM3 suffix and Vishay documentation. It undergoes rigorous stress testing including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and ESD validation per AEC-Q101 Rev D. This makes SMBJ75AHM3_B/H appropriate for under-hood and cabin applications such as body control modules, lighting drivers, and infotainment power rails where automotive-grade reliability is mandatory.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in SMBJ75AHM3_B/H?
The "HM3" suffix in SMBJ75AHM3_B/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. Specifically, "H" indicates the halogen-free molding compound, "M3" confirms RoHS compliance and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and the underscore "_B/H" specifies tape-and-reel packaging in 7" reels (750 units). This distinguishes it from E3 (RoHS, non-halogen-free) and HE3 (AEC-Q101, non-halogen-free) variants.
Can SMBJ75AHM3_B/H be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, SMBJ75AHM3_B/H is strictly unidirectional, as indicated by the "A" suffix (e.g., SMBJ75A) and cathode-band marking. Bidirectional variants use the "CA" suffix (e.g., SMBJ75CA) and lack polarity marking. Using SMBJ75AHM3_B/H in bidirectional circuits would result in forward conduction during negative transients, causing failure. For bidirectional protection at 75 V, select SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H instead.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ75AHM3_B/H, and how does it affect layout?
The SMBJ75AHM3_B/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. To maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C under worst-case 5.0 W steady-state dissipation, designers must ensure adequate copper area and avoid excessive ambient temperature. Layout best practice is to use minimum 5 mm² thermal pads per terminal with multiple vias to inner ground planes - critical for sustained surge repetition in industrial controls.
