Product details
Overview
SMBJ75CAHE3_B/I 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 standoff 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 SMBJ75CAHE3_B/I datasheet, SMBJ75CAHE3_B/I pinout, SMBJ75CAHE3_B/I application, or SMBJ75CAHE3_B/I equivalent, this device is selected for robust ESD and surge protection in automotive-grade (AEC-Q101 qualified), telecom, and industrial control systems where bidirectional transient suppression with low clamping ratio and fast response (<1 ns) is required.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, delivering identical clamping behavior during positive and negative transients. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance (≤1.0 µA at VWM) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling consistent energy absorption without thermal runaway under repetitive 0.01% duty cycle surges.
The device complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and meets UL 497B recognition (QVGQ2) for protector classification. With a 150 °C maximum junction temperature and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, it supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C and is rated for operation from –55 °C to +150 °C.

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-M3/5B | Same electrical specs, halogen-free RoHS-compliant (HM3 suffix), no AEC-Q101 qualification | Preferred for commercial/industrial designs where automotive qualification is not mandated | Select when cost-sensitive volume production requires halogen-free compliance without automotive validation overhead |
| SMCJ75CAHE3_A/H | Higher power rating (1500 W), larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same VWM/VC values | Used where higher surge repetition rate or longer duration transients (e.g., IEC 61000-4-4) demand greater thermal mass | Choose when system-level testing reveals insufficient margin with 600 W rating - requires PCB footprint change |
Compared with SMBJ75CA-M3/5B, the SMBJ75CAHE3_B/I adds AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use but shares identical clamping performance; versus SMCJ75CAHE3_A/H, it trades 2.5× peak power for 30% smaller board area and faster response due to lower junction capacitance.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in SMBJ75CAHE3_B/I?
The "CA" suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration - meaning SMBJ75CAHE3_B/I provides symmetrical transient suppression for both positive and negative voltage excursions. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., SMBJ75A), it has no polarity marking and conducts identically in either direction, making it ideal for AC-coupled lines, differential buses, or floating grounds where polarity cannot be guaranteed.
Is SMBJ75CAHE3_B/I AEC-Q101 qualified, and what does that cover?
Yes, SMBJ75CAHE3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HE3" suffix and Vishay documentation. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, mechanical shock, humidity bias, and high-temperature operating life - validating its suitability for automotive powertrain, chassis, and body electronics applications where zero-defect reliability is mandatory.
How does the clamping voltage of SMBJ75CAHE3_B/I compare to its standoff voltage?
SMBJ75CAHE3_B/I has a 75 V standoff voltage (VWM) and a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V at 5.0 A. This yields a clamping ratio of ~1.61, which is typical for 600 W SMB-packaged TVS diodes. The 46 V headroom between VWM and VC allows safe operation of downstream 100 V-rated components while maintaining effective surge suppression.
Can SMBJ75CAHE3_B/I be used in place of a unidirectional SMBJ75A?
No - SMBJ75CAHE3_B/I is not a drop-in replacement for unidirectional SMBJ75A. While both share the same VWM, VBR, and package, the bidirectional CA version lacks cathode marking and conducts in both directions. Substituting it into a unidirectional circuit may cause unintended conduction or short-circuit conditions, especially in DC-biased applications like power rail protection.
What is the maximum printed circuit board pad size recommended for SMBJ75CAHE3_B/I?
Vishay specifies thermal performance based on mounting the SMBJ75CAHE3_B/I on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. Using smaller pads increases thermal resistance and reduces peak pulse power handling - derating curves in Figure 2 show up to 30% power loss at 75 °C ambient if pad area falls below this minimum. Larger pads improve heat dissipation but do not increase rated PPPM beyond 600 W.
