Product details
Overview
SMBJ75CAHE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power 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 capability with a 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in industrial sensor interfaces and telecom power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75CAHE3/52 datasheet, SMBJ75CAHE3/52 pinout, SMBJ75CAHE3/52 application, or SMBJ75CAHE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional surge protection capability, AEC-Q101 qualification status, clamping performance under repetitive 10/1000 µs surges, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated terminals compatible with J-STD-002 soldering standards.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamping protector using an avalanche junction structure, responding in <1 ps to transient overvoltages. Its bidirectional symmetry enables suppression of both positive and negative polarity surges without polarity-sensitive placement, and its glass-passivated chip junction ensures stable leakage and long-term reliability under repeated stress.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal, it delivers 600 W peak pulse power with 0.01% duty cycle and derates linearly above 25 °C ambient per Fig. 2. The 150 °C maximum junction temperature and MSL Level 1 rating support reflow compatibility up to 260 °C peak.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC/AC working margin. |
| VBR min/max | 83.3 V / 92.1 V at 1 mA - Breakdown threshold range; ensures consistent turn-on across production lots. |
| VC @ IPPM | 121 V at 5.0 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines protected circuit's maximum transient exposure. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 µs waveform; supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity. |
| ID @ VWM | 1.0 µA - Reverse leakage at rated stand-off; negligible power loss in standby, critical for low-power sensor nodes. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive or industrial enclosures. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard PCB pad layout; informs heatsinking requirements. |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75CA-M3/52 | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant variant; identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification. | No difference in surge protection performance or thermal behavior; differs only in material composition. | Select when halogen-free compliance is mandated by OEM environmental policy or regional regulations. |
| SMCJ75CAHE3/52 | Same VWM/VBR/VC ratings but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; higher RθJA (50 °C/W) and 1500 W PPPM rating. | Requires larger PCB footprint; suited for higher-energy surge environments where 600 W is insufficient. | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 and board space allows SMC footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ75CAHE3/52, SMBJ75CA-M3/52 offers identical protection performance with halogen-free materials, while SMCJ75CAHE3/52 trades compactness for higher 1500 W surge capacity - making SMBJ75CAHE3/52 optimal for space-constrained, AEC-Q101-compliant 600 W applications.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ75CAHE3/52 under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMBJ75CAHE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V at 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 surge events. The SMBJ75CAHE3/52 maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ75CAHE3/52 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, SMBJ75CAHE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HE3", which denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101-qualified variants. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock - validating its suitability for automotive body electronics, infotainment power supplies, and CAN/LIN bus protection. The SMBJ75CAHE3/52 meets these requirements without derating.
How does the bidirectional design of SMBJ75CAHE3/52 affect PCB layout?
The SMBJ75CAHE3/52 has no polarity marking and functions identically in both directions, eliminating orientation constraints during automated placement. This simplifies PCB layout by removing the need for silkscreen polarity indicators or directional routing - especially beneficial in differential signal paths or AC-coupled interfaces. The SMBJ75CAHE3/52's symmetric behavior ensures consistent clamping regardless of surge polarity, reducing design iteration cycles.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ75CAHE3/52, and how does it impact power dissipation?
The SMBJ75CAHE3/52 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on the recommended 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal. At its 5.0 W steady-state power dissipation rating, this results in a 500 °C temperature rise - but since the device is intended for transient (not continuous) operation, thermal design focuses on pulse energy absorption. The SMBJ75CAHE3/52 relies on short-duration surge handling rather than sustained thermal management.
Can SMBJ75CAHE3/52 replace unidirectional TVS diodes in existing designs?
No - SMBJ75CAHE3/52 is strictly bidirectional and cannot substitute for unidirectional TVS diodes in DC-only applications where forward conduction must be blocked. Unidirectional parts like SMBJ75AHE3/52 have a defined cathode band and conduct only in reverse bias; replacing them with SMBJ75CAHE3/52 would allow unintended forward current flow during normal operation. The SMBJ75CAHE3/52 is appropriate only where bidirectional surge suppression is explicitly required.
