Product details
Overview
SMBJ75A-M3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the 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 1.0 mA, and clamps transients to ≤121 V at 5.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM), delivering 600 W peak pulse power with a 10/1000 µs waveform - ideal for safeguarding MOSFETs, microcontrollers, and sensor interfaces in industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75A-M3/52 datasheet, SMBJ75A-M3/52 pinout, SMBJ75A-M3/52 application, or SMBJ75A-M3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include its halogen-free RoHS-compliant M3 suffix, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, 150 °C maximum junction temperature, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on standard PCB pad layouts per JEDEC DO-214AA footprint.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (>1 µA leakage at 75 V), but triggers avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds VBR, limiting transient energy by diverting surge current to ground. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low incremental surge resistance.
The SMBJ75A-M3/52 is rated for 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), supports 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), and exhibits a +0.106 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, enabling predictable performance across -55 °C to +150 °C operating range without thermal runaway.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin for 48 V or 60 V systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 83.3 V / 92.1 V at 1.0 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range; ensures reliable triggering above system nominal voltage with margin. |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤121 V at 5.0 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on protected ICs. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling; enables suppression of high-energy transients from inductive switching or ESD events. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Single half-sine surge rating (8.3 ms); supports protection against short-duration line surges in AC/DC front-ends. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; allows operation in high-ambient environments such as automotive engine bays or industrial enclosures. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Standardized surface-mount outline with 5.59 mm × 4.06 mm footprint and 2.20 mm height; compatible with IPC-7351B land patterns. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102; meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / low-side reference | Connected to ground or lower-potential node; forms return path during clamping. |
| Cathode | Reverse voltage sensing / high-side connection | Marked with band; connects to protected line (e.g., 48 V rail or sensor output); conducts avalanche current when VAK > VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables suppression of high-energy transients from relay coil de-energization or lightning-induced surges in industrial control cabinets. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.31) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during clamping, reducing risk of latch-up or gate oxide damage in downstream MOSFETs and logic ICs. |
| Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant M3 suffix | Meets environmental compliance requirements for export to EU, China, and Japan without compromising thermal or electrical performance. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow) | Supports single-pass lead-free reflow assembly without moisture-related popcorning or delamination. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification available (HM3 variant) | Confirms reliability for automotive applications including body electronics and ADAS sensor power rails when specified with HM3 suffix. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Automotive Body Control Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75A-E3/52 | Same electrical specs; RoHS-compliant but contains brominated flame retardants (non-halogen-free). | Acceptable for commercial-grade equipment where halogen-free mandate does not apply. | Select E3/52 only if halogen content is unrestricted and cost sensitivity outweighs environmental compliance requirements. |
| SMBJ75AHM3/52 | Identical clamping and surge ratings; adds AEC-Q101 qualification and extended temperature validation (-40 °C to +125 °C ambient). | Required for automotive under-hood or chassis-mounted modules subject to OEM qualification protocols. | Choose HM3/52 when automotive PPAP submission, long-term reliability data, or extended temperature validation is mandatory. |
Compared with SMBJ75A-M3/52, the E3/52 variant offers identical protection performance but lacks halogen-free certification, while the HM3/52 adds automotive qualification and validated lifetime data - making M3/52 the optimal balance of environmental compliance and industrial-grade reliability without over-specifying for non-automotive use.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ75A-M3/52 under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMBJ75A-M3/52 clamps to a maximum of 121 V when subjected to its rated 5.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed per Vishay's datasheet (Document Number: 88392, Rev. 09-Jan-2024) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. Designers must ensure downstream components tolerate this clamped level.
Does SMBJ75A-M3/52 meet automotive qualification standards?
The SMBJ75A-M3/52 itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; it is a commercial-grade, halogen-free RoHS-compliant part. However, the functionally identical SMBJ75AHM3/52 variant carries full AEC-Q101 qualification. For automotive applications requiring OEM validation, SMBJ75AHM3/52 - not SMBJ75A-M3/52 - must be specified and sourced.
What is the meaning of the "M3" suffix in SMBJ75A-M3/52?
The "M3" suffix in SMBJ75A-M3/52 indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction meeting IEC 61249-2-21 requirements, with matte tin-plated leads and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. It distinguishes the part from the E3 (RoHS-compliant but non-halogen-free) and HM3 (AEC-Q101 qualified + halogen-free) variants, confirming environmental compliance without automotive qualification.
Can SMBJ75A-M3/52 be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No - SMBJ75A-M3/52 is strictly unidirectional. Its cathode band marking and electrical specification (e.g., forward voltage drop, no symmetrical VBR) confirm single-polarity operation. For bidirectional protection, the SMBJ75CA-M3/52 variant must be used, which provides matched breakdown in both directions and no polarity marking.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SMBJ75A-M3/52?
The SMBJ75A-M3/52 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes no additional heatsinking and is critical for calculating steady-state temperature rise under continuous power dissipation (PD = 5.0 W).
