Product details
Overview
SMBJ75CAHM3_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 - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies and telecom line cards.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H pinout, SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H application, or SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, 121 V VC under 5.0 A surge, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, halogen-free RoHS compliance (HM3 suffix), and AEC-Q101 qualification readiness - critical for automotive-grade transient protection design validation.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped crowbar during ESD or lightning-induced surges, conducting when reverse voltage exceeds VBR and limiting downstream voltage to ≤121 V at 5.0 A. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 μA at 75 V), while the bidirectional architecture eliminates polarity dependency in AC-coupled or floating signal paths.
The SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H delivers 600 W peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 μs waveform with <1 ns response time and 0.106 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient. Thermal resistance is 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient (RθJA) on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads, enabling reliable operation up to +150 °C junction temperature without forced cooling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 75 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; defines safe operating margin below clamping threshold |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 83.3–92.1 V at 1.0 mA - guaranteed conduction onset range; ensures predictable turn-on across temperature and unit variation |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 121 V at IPPM = 5.0 A - peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 μs surge; determines minimum IC withstand rating required |

| TJ max. | +150 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives with elevated ambient temperatures |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - 0.205" × 0.130" footprint compatible with automated SMT placement; meets UL 94 V-0 flammability |

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H under surge conditions?
The SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V at 5.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and guarantees that protected downstream circuitry will not experience voltages exceeding 121 V during standardized surge events - a critical parameter for ensuring compatibility with 150 V-rated capacitors and 100 V MOSFETs in the same power domain. The SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - the HM3 suffix indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and readiness for AEC-Q101 qualification; fully qualified variants are designated SMBJ75CAHM3_X (e.g., SMBJ75CAHM3_B). The SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H meets MSL Level 1, operates from –55 °C to +150 °C, and delivers stable 75 V stand-off and 121 V clamping performance required for body electronics, infotainment power rails, and LIN bus protection. It is widely deployed in Tier 1 automotive subsystems where process traceability and long-term supply assurance are enforced.
How does the bidirectional nature of SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H affect PCB layout?
The SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H has no polarity marking and functions identically regardless of orientation - both terminals are electrically symmetrical. This eliminates orientation errors during automated placement and allows flexible routing in AC-coupled paths, differential signaling (e.g., RS-485), or floating grounds. Unlike unidirectional TVS diodes, the SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H requires no cathode band alignment, reducing assembly risk and enabling reuse across multiple board revisions without layout changes. Its SMB (DO-214AA) footprint remains unchanged from unidirectional variants.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H, and how does it impact power dissipation?
The SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal. At its rated 5.0 W steady-state power dissipation (PD), this yields a 500 °C temperature rise - which is physically impossible; thus PD represents derated continuous dissipation under ideal heatsinking. In practice, the device is intended for transient-only duty (0.01 % duty cycle), where thermal mass absorbs short pulses. For repeated surges, PCB copper area and airflow must be validated to keep TJ ≤ 150 °C - the SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H's absolute maximum junction temperature.
Does SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H meet industry surge immunity standards?
Yes - the SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H's 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform aligns with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV line-to-earth, 2 Ω source impedance) and ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2/5a test profiles. Its 121 V clamping voltage ensures protected ICs see well below their absolute maximum ratings during these events. Combined with <1 ns response time and low dynamic impedance, the SMBJ75CAHM3_B/H provides validated protection for systems requiring compliance with EN 55032, CISPR 25 Class 5, and UL 62368-1 transient requirements.
