Product details
Overview
SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H 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 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 rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in industrial sensor interfaces and telecom line protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H pinout, SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H application, or SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H equivalent, this device is selected for robust ESD and surge immunity in bidirectional AC-coupled circuits, high-reliability automotive-grade designs (AEC-Q101 qualified), and space-constrained PCB layouts requiring MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity compliance.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, enabling protection of AC signal paths, differential buses, and floating power rails without polarity concerns. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), while the low incremental surge resistance supports consistent clamping under repetitive transient events.
The device is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and exhibits a +0.106 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR - critical for thermal stability in wide-temperature industrial environments. Its 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance requires appropriate copper pad area (0.2" × 0.2") to sustain 5.0 W steady-state dissipation.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant variant with identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification | Required where halogen-free material compliance is mandated (e.g., EU public infrastructure projects) | Select SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H when halogen-free construction is specified; otherwise SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H satisfies standard commercial and automotive use cases |
| SMAJ75CA-E3/52 | Lower 400 W PPPM rating, SMA (DO-214AC) package, same VWM/VBR/VC but higher RθJA (150 °C/W) | Suitable only for lower-energy transients or less thermally demanding layouts due to reduced power handling and inferior thermal performance | Choose SMAJ75CA-E3/52 only if board space is constrained to SMA footprint and surge threat level is limited to IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±15 kV air) without 10/1000 µs surge exposure |
Compared with SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H, SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H offers identical protection performance with halogen-free materials, while SMAJ75CA-E3/52 trades 33 % lower surge power rating and poorer thermal dissipation for smaller footprint - making SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H the optimal choice for full-spec automotive and industrial surge immunity.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H?
The "CA" suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration, meaning SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H provides symmetrical clamping for both positive and negative transients - essential for protecting AC-coupled signals, differential buses like RS-485, or floating power domains where polarity is undefined. Unlike unidirectional "A" variants, it has no cathode band marking.
Is SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H carries the HE3 suffix, confirming AEC-Q101 qualification per stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing. It is approved for under-hood and cabin applications such as body control modules, lighting drivers, and sensor hubs.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H and at what current is it specified?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H is 121 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 5.0 A using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the worst-case voltage imposed on protected circuitry during a surge event and is critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
How does the SMB (DO-214AA) package of SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H compare thermally to SMA (DO-214AC)?
SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H in SMB package delivers superior thermal performance versus SMA equivalents: its typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) is 100 °C/W (vs. ~150 °C/W for SMA), enabled by larger copper pad area compatibility (0.2" × 0.2"). This allows SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H to sustain higher average power dissipation and maintain lower junction temperatures under repetitive surge conditions.
Does SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H require orientation during PCB placement?
No - SMBJ75CAHE3_B/H is a bidirectional TVS with symmetrical terminals and no polarity marking. It can be placed in either orientation across a protected node without affecting clamping behavior, simplifying automated assembly and eliminating orientation-related field failures common with unidirectional variants.
