Product details
Overview
SMBJ75CA-E3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features a 75 V standoff voltage (VWM), 83.3–92.1 V breakdown range (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 sensor interfaces and telecom line protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75CA-E3/52 datasheet, SMBJ75CA-E3/52 pinout, SMBJ75CA-E3/52 application, or SMBJ75CA-E3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on PCBs requiring robust ESD and surge immunity.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates symmetrically in both directions, enabling protection of AC-coupled or differential signal paths without polarity constraints. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and fast response time (<1.0 ns), while the low incremental surge resistance supports effective energy diversion during transient events.
The device is rated for repetitive 10/1000 µs surges at 0.01% duty cycle and derates linearly above 25 °C ambient, with thermal resistance RθJA = 100 °C/W and maximum junction temperature of +150 °C. It meets UL 497B recognition (QVGQ2) and is qualified to J-STD-020 MSL Level 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin below breakdown. |
| VBR (min/max) | 83.3 V / 92.1 V at 1.0 mA - Confirmed bidirectional breakdown threshold; ensures predictable turn-on across manufacturing lot. |
| VC @ IPPM | 121 V at 5.0 A - Clamped voltage under 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on downstream ICs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ75CA | Same SMB package, identical VWM/VC, but lower PPPM (400 W) and higher VBR tolerance (±10% vs. ±5.5%). | Less suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4; acceptable for consumer-grade surge where 600 W headroom is not required. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs peak surge margin, and UL recognition is not mandatory. |
| ON Semiconductor SMCJ75CA | Same electrical specs and SMB package, but rated for 1500 W PPPM (with larger SMC package); SMCJ75CA is physically incompatible due to DO-214AB outline. | Not a drop-in replacement - requires PCB redesign; used where higher energy handling justifies larger footprint. | Choose only if system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W and board layout allows SMC (DO-214AB) footprint. |
Compared with SMAJ75CA and SMCJ75CA, SMBJ75CA-E3/52 delivers optimal balance of 600 W surge capacity, SMB footprint compatibility, UL 497B recognition, and MSL Level 1 process readiness - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained industrial and telecom designs requiring certified, production-ready TVS protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ75CA-E3/52 under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMBJ75CA-E3/52 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 defined in ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024. The SMBJ75CA-E3/52 maintains this clamping performance bidirectionally, ensuring consistent protection regardless of transient polarity.
Is SMBJ75CA-E3/52 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, SMBJ75CA-E3/52 is RoHS-compliant (per EU Directive 2011/65/EU) and carries the "E3" suffix indicating commercial-grade, lead-free, and halogen-free construction. The molding compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and terminals are matte tin plated per J-STD-002. It does not contain brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives, satisfying strict environmental compliance requirements for global electronics manufacturing.
Does SMBJ75CA-E3/52 have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base SMBJ75CA-E3/52 is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the automotive-grade variant SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H is explicitly qualified per AEC-Q101. That version uses the same die and SMB package but undergoes additional stress testing including temperature cycling, HTGB, and ESD. For non-automotive applications, SMBJ75CA-E3/52 remains fully suitable - its electrical specs, thermal performance, and reliability are identical except for the qualification documentation and traceability chain.
What is the maximum leakage current of SMBJ75CA-E3/52 at its standoff voltage?
The SMBJ75CA-E3/52 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at its 75 V standoff voltage (VWM), measured at 25 °C ambient. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on sensor or battery-operated systems. The value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (−55 °C to +150 °C), with typical leakage remaining well below 0.5 µA at room temperature - a key advantage over higher-leakage alternatives like P6KE series.
Can SMBJ75CA-E3/52 be used in bidirectional AC signal paths?
Yes, SMBJ75CA-E3/52 is specifically designed for bidirectional operation, as indicated by the "CA" suffix. Its symmetrical VBR and VC characteristics apply equally in both polarities, making it ideal for protecting AC-coupled interfaces such as Ethernet PHYs, audio lines, or differential bus standards (e.g., RS-485). Unlike unidirectional variants, SMBJ75CA-E3/52 requires no polarity alignment during placement - simplifying layout and eliminating risk of reverse installation.
