Product details
Overview
SMBJ75AHM3/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 SMBJ75AHM3/H datasheet, SMBJ75AHM3/H pinout, SMBJ75AHM3/H application, or SMBJ75AHM3/H equivalent, this part delivers verified transient suppression for 75 V DC systems with halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction, AEC-Q101 qualification readiness, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity - critical for automotive-grade board-level ESD and load-dump protection design validation.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its VBR range (83.3–92.1 V). Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns) enable effective suppression of inductive switching spikes and lightning-induced surges on 75 V supply rails.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads) and RθJL = 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead), supporting reliable operation up to TJ = +150 °C. The device uses glass-passivated silicon junction technology and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; sets upper limit for safe DC rail operation. |
| VBR (min/max) | 83.3 V / 92.1 V at IT = 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range; ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events. |
| VC @ IPPM | 121 V at 5.0 A - Clamped voltage under 10/1000 µs surge; defines worst-case voltage seen by protected downstream circuitry. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; supports robust protection against repetitive transients at 0.01% duty cycle. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Non-repetitive forward surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine); validates survivability during high-energy fault conditions. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables use in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial environments. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Standardized surface-mount outline with cathode band marking; compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75AHE3/H | Same electrical specs, but RoHS-compliant with lead-free solder finish only (no halogen-free requirement); lacks HM3's halogen-free certification. | Acceptable for commercial/industrial use where halogen-free is not mandated; not qualified for automotive AEC-Q101. | Select when cost optimization is prioritized and halogen-free compliance is not required by end-customer specification. |
| SMCJ75A-H | Higher 1500 W PPPM, larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same VWM/VC; 2.5× higher surge current rating (12.3 A vs. 5.0 A). | Better suited for high-energy environments (e.g., traction inverters); requires PCB layout change due to larger footprint. | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W or when longer transient duration demands higher IPPM. |
Compared with SMBJ75AHM3/H, SMBJ75AHE3/H offers identical clamping performance without halogen-free assurance, while SMCJ75A-H provides higher surge margin at the cost of board space and thermal mass - making SMBJ75AHM3/H optimal for space-constrained, automotive-qualified 75 V rail protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ75AHM3/H under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMBJ75AHM3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V when subjected to a 5.0 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per standard test conditions (TA = 25 °C, mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The SMBJ75AHM3/H maintains this clamping performance consistently across its rated operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ75AHM3/H qualified to AEC-Q101?
The SMBJ75AHM3/H carries the HM3 suffix, indicating it is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101 qualified - confirmed in Vishay's ordering information and mechanical data tables. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing. SMBJ75AHM3/H is intended for automotive applications such as body control modules and infotainment power rails where reliability under thermal and vibration stress is mandatory.
What does the "H" in SMBJ75AHM3/H signify?
The "H" in SMBJ75AHM3/H denotes the preferred package code for 7" diameter plastic tape and reel delivery, containing 750 units per reel. This packaging format is optimized for high-speed SMT placement equipment and aligns with industry-standard feeder compatibility. The full ordering code SMBJ75AHM3/H reflects halogen-free (HM3) construction plus the H-tape/reel configuration - distinct from "I" (13" reel, 3200 units) or "B" (bulk) variants.
How does SMBJ75AHM3/H compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBJ75CA?
SMBJ75AHM3/H is unidirectional and intended for DC rail protection with polarity-sensitive placement (cathode to line), whereas SMBJ75CA is bidirectional and symmetric - suitable for AC lines or differential signal protection. The SMBJ75AHM3/H exhibits lower leakage (<1.0 µA at 75 V) and higher surge current capability in forward conduction mode (IFSM = 100 A), but cannot suppress negative-going transients without external circuitry. Use SMBJ75AHM3/H where polarity is fixed and forward conduction margin matters.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ75AHM3/H, and how does it affect PCB layout?
SMBJ75AHM3/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 - as specified in Vishay's datasheet. To maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C under 5.0 W steady-state dissipation, designers must ensure adequate copper area and avoid excessive ambient temperature rise. Increasing pad size or adding thermal vias reduces RθJA, directly improving surge endurance and long-term reliability of the SMBJ75AHM3/H in high-power transient scenarios.
