Product details
Overview
SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I 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 power 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 test current, 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 to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I datasheet, SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I pinout, SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I application, or SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free RoHS compliance, and real-world clamping performance under surge conditions per IEC 61000-4-5.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, responding within <1 ps to fast-rising transients. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<100 µA at VWM), while the SMB package supports automated placement and meets MSL Level 1 reflow profile (260 °C peak).
It is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and exhibits 0.067 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR. The device handles 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine) and maintains clamping integrity across -55 °C to +150 °C operating range - critical for automotive and industrial environments where thermal cycling and ESD immunity are design constraints.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 7.5 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before clamping begins; sets upper limit for normal circuit operation without leakage-induced stress. |
| VBR min/max | 8.33 V / 9.21 V at 1.0 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range; ensures reliable turn-on during overvoltage events above nominal rail. |
| VC @ IPPM | 12.9 V at 46.5 A - Measured clamping voltage under 10/1000 µs surge; defines worst-case voltage seen by protected downstream components. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capacity; determines survivability against lightning-induced surges (IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4). |
| IFSM | 100 A - Single half-sine surge current rating (8.3 ms); validates robustness against inductive switch-off transients in motor drives. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables use in under-hood automotive modules and high-ambient industrial controllers. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads; informs PCB layout requirements for sustained power dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, cathode-banded end. Matte tin-plated leads, compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. Molding compound meets UL 94 V-0.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or return path; establishes reference for unidirectional clamping action toward cathode. |
| Cathode | High-side surge input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail or sensor output); absorbs positive transients by avalanche conduction to anode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.5AHE3_B/I | RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; same VWM, VBR, VC, and PPPM. | Approved for commercial/industrial use only; unsuitable for automotive OEM designs requiring halogen-free and AEC-Q101 compliance. | Select when cost-sensitive non-automotive applications require identical clamping performance without halogen-free mandate. |
| SMBJ7.5A-M3/5B | Same halogen-free RoHS compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification; differs only in packaging - 13" reel (3200 pcs) vs. SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I's 13" reel with B/I marking variant. | No functional difference; identical electrical and thermal specs; intended for volume procurement with alternate tape/reel coding. | Choose for large-volume production where distributor inventory uses M3/5B nomenclature but full specification match is confirmed. |
Compared with SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I, the HE3 variant trades halogen-free content and automotive qualification for lower cost in commercial systems, while the M3/5B variant offers identical performance in a different packaging format - enabling flexibility in supply chain sourcing without design change.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I under surge conditions?
The SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 12.9 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 46.5 A using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured and guaranteed per Vishay's datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024 (Document Number: 88392), ensuring predictable overvoltage protection for downstream ICs and MOSFETs connected to the same rail as SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I.
Is SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HM3" suffix in its part number. This certification confirms successful completion of stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and ESD robustness - making SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I suitable for under-hood and body-control module applications where reliability under harsh environmental conditions is mandatory.
Does SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I complies with both RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free standards per JEDEC JS709. The "HM3" designation explicitly denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101-qualified construction - verified in Vishay's ordering information table and mechanical data section of document 88392.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I from junction to ambient?
The typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I is 100 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended pad layout (0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal). This value is critical for calculating allowable power dissipation at elevated ambient temperatures and must be applied with derating curves from Figure 2 in the Vishay datasheet for SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I.
How does SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I differ from SMBJ7.5A-E3/52?
SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101-qualified, whereas SMBJ7.5A-E3/52 is RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free and lacks automotive qualification. Both share identical electrical parameters (VWM, VBR, VC, PPPM), but SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I is designated for automotive and high-reliability industrial use, while SMBJ7.5A-E3/52 targets general-purpose commercial applications - a distinction confirmed in Vishay's ordering information table for SMBJ7.5AHM3_B/I.
