Product details
Overview
SMBJ75AHM3_B/I 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 telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75AHM3_B/I datasheet, SMBJ75AHM3_B/I pinout, SMBJ75AHM3_B/I application, or SMBJ75AHM3_B/I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification status, clamping performance under surge, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant sourcing details - all confirmed from Vishay's official 88392 document (Rev. 09-Jan-2024).
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, responding to transient overvoltages above its VWM threshold by entering low-impedance conduction mode within <1 ps. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at 75 V), while the SMB package supports automated SMT placement and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 at 260 °C peak reflow.
Thermal resistance is rated at 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads, and it sustains repetitive surges up to 0.01% duty cycle. The device is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101 qualified - indicated by the "HM3" suffix and "_B/I" tape-and-reel packaging code for 13" reels (3200 units).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 75 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates; defines safe DC rail margin. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 83.3–92.1 V at 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures reliable triggering above nominal system voltage. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 121 V at IPPM = 5.0 A (10/1000 µs) - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge; limits stress on downstream ICs. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Sustained energy absorption capability for transient suppression without failure. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | ≤1.0 µA at 75 V - Negligible standby current draw; avoids battery drain or signal distortion in low-power systems. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Enables operation in under-hood automotive or high-temperature industrial enclosures. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Industry-standard 2-pin SMT outline; 0.220" × 0.155" footprint with cathode band marking. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking on one end. Matte tin-plated leads, solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or return path; forms current path during reverse-biased clamping event. |
| Cathode | High-side input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 75 V rail); carries surge current into anode during overvoltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including BCM, lighting, and infotainment power rails. |

| 600 W peak pulse power | Withstands IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV/2 Ω) without degradation when properly mounted. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.31) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during transients - critical for protecting 75 V-rated MOSFETs and gate drivers. |
| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Enables standard SMT reflow without baking; simplifies manufacturing and reduces handling risk. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drive Power Supply | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75AHE3_B/I | Same electrical specs, but RoHS-compliant (E3) instead of halogen-free (HM3); no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Preferred for commercial-grade industrial equipment where automotive qualification is not required. | Select when halogen-free content is not mandated and cost optimization is prioritized over automotive compliance. |
| SMAJ75A-M3/5B | Lower 400 W PPPM rating, SMA package (smaller footprint), higher RθJA (140 °C/W), same VWM/VBR/VC. | Suitable for space-constrained consumer electronics with lower surge exposure; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Choose only if board area is critical and surge threat level is below IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3; verify thermal margin. |
Compared with SMBJ75AHM3_B/I, the E3 variant trades halogen-free and AEC-Q101 compliance for lower cost, while the SMAJ75A-M3/5B sacrifices power handling and thermal performance for smaller size - making SMBJ75AHM3_B/I the optimal choice for automotive and high-reliability industrial designs requiring full specification headroom.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ75AHM3_B/I at 5.0 A peak pulse current?
The SMBJ75AHM3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs waveform at 5.0 A peak pulse current. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay document 88392 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ75AHM3_B/I maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range (-55 °C to +150 °C).
Is SMBJ75AHM3_B/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ75AHM3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HM3" suffix and ordering code documentation in Vishay's 88392 datasheet (Rev. 09-Jan-2024). This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and surge robustness - validating SMBJ75AHM3_B/I for use in automotive body control modules, lighting systems, and infotainment power rails.
What does the "_B/I" suffix mean in SMBJ75AHM3_B/I?
The "_B/I" suffix in SMBJ75AHM3_B/I indicates packaging configuration: "B" denotes the revision level (Revision B), and "I" specifies 13-inch diameter plastic tape-and-reel delivery containing 3200 units. This matches Vishay's preferred ordering format shown in the "ORDERING INFORMATION" section of document 88392, confirming SMBJ75AHM3_B/I is a production-ready, fully traceable variant.
How does SMBJ75AHM3_B/I differ from SMBJ75A-E3/52?
SMBJ75AHM3_B/I uses halogen-free molding compound and is AEC-Q101 qualified, whereas SMBJ75A-E3/52 is RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free or automotive-qualified. Both share identical electrical parameters (VWM = 75 V, VC = 121 V), but SMBJ75AHM3_B/I supports automotive Tier-1 supply chain requirements and stricter environmental mandates - making SMBJ75AHM3_B/I the appropriate selection for certified vehicle subsystems.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ75AHM3_B/I, and how does it affect layout?
SMBJ75AHM3_B/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal, as specified in the Thermal Characteristics table of document 88392. To maintain safe operation under repetitive surges, PCB layout must provide minimum recommended pad area and avoid thermal isolation - undersized pads or insufficient copper will cause excessive junction temperature rise and premature failure of the SMBJ75AHM3_B/I.
