Product details
Overview
SMBJ75CA-M3/52 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 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, sensor interfaces, and industrial I/O circuits against ESD and inductive switching surges.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75CA-M3/52 datasheet, SMBJ75CA-M3/52 pinout, SMBJ75CA-M3/52 application, or SMBJ75CA-M3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, low clamping ratio (VC/VWM = 1.61), halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction (M3 suffix), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on PCBs requiring robust surge immunity per IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, delivering identical clamping performance regardless of transient polarity. Its silicon avalanche junction provides sub-nanosecond response time and low dynamic impedance (< 24 Ω, derived from ΔVC/ΔIPPM), enabling effective suppression of fast-rising transients up to 5.0 A peak pulse current under standardized 10/1000 µs conditions.
The device is rated for continuous operation from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, with thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, on recommended 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead). It meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant (M3 suffix), but not AEC-Q101 qualified - distinguishing it from HE3/HM3 automotive variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; defines safe DC/AC working margin for protected line. |
| VBR (min/max) | 83.3 V / 92.1 V at 1 mA - Guaranteed avalanche initiation range; ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events. |
| VC @ IPPM | 121 V at 5.0 A - Clamped voltage seen by downstream circuitry during 600 W transient; determines maximum stress on protected ICs. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 µs waveform; supports repetitive surge duty cycle ≤ 0.01 %. |
| IPPM | 5.0 A - Corresponding peak pulse current at VC; used with PCB trace inductance to estimate actual clamping overshoot. |
| Leakage ID | 1.0 µA max at 75 V - Minimal standby power loss and signal integrity impact in high-impedance sensing paths. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables use in thermally constrained industrial enclosures without derating below full power. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, bidirectional configuration with no polarity marking - symmetrical anode/cathode terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode / Anode (symmetrical) | Bidirectional avalanche junction terminal | Either end connects to protected line; no cathode band marking - enables flexible PCB layout without orientation constraints. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Supports high-energy surge events common in industrial motor drives and relay-controlled loads without degradation. |

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-E3/52 | Same electrical specs; RoHS-compliant but contains brominated flame retardants (non-halogen-free). | Acceptable for commercial-grade products where halogen-free certification is not mandated (e.g., non-EU export models). | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs halogen-free requirement and MSL Level 1 handling suffices. |
| SMBJ75CAHM3/52 | Identical electrical and mechanical specs; adds AEC-Q101 qualification and extended temperature validation (–40 °C to +125 °C ambient). | Required for automotive ECUs, ADAS sensors, and other automotive-grade designs needing formal reliability certification. | Choose for automotive applications - adds qualification overhead but guarantees long-term reliability in harsh environments. |
Compared with SMBJ75CA-M3/52, the E3 variant offers lower cost without halogen-free compliance, while the HM3 variant adds AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use - neither is pin-compatible drop-in replacements due to differing qualification scope and material declarations, though all share identical SMB package and bidirectional functionality.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ75CA-M3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ75CA-M3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V at 5.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ75CA-M3/52 maintains this clamping performance bidirectionally, making it suitable for AC-coupled or floating signal lines where polarity reversal may occur.
Is SMBJ75CA-M3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
No, SMBJ75CA-M3/52 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. It is rated for commercial temperature range (–55 °C to +150 °C junction) but lacks the extended validation, lot traceability, and stress testing required for automotive ECUs or ADAS modules. For automotive use, select SMBJ75CAHM3/52 instead - the same SMBJ75CA-M3/52 device with added AEC-Q101 qualification and halogen-free compliance.
Does SMBJ75CA-M3/52 have polarity markings on the package?
No, SMBJ75CA-M3/52 has no polarity markings because it is a bidirectional TVS diode. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., SMBJ75A), the CA suffix indicates symmetrical avalanche behavior - both terminals function identically as either anode or cathode depending on transient polarity. This eliminates orientation constraints during automated placement and simplifies PCB layout for differential or AC signal paths.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for SMBJ75CA-M3/52?
The SMBJ75CA-M3/52 has a maximum steady-state power dissipation (PD) of 5.0 W at 50 °C ambient temperature with infinite heatsink conditions. In typical PCB mounting (0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal), derating applies above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in the datasheet. This PD rating governs continuous leakage power handling but is distinct from its 600 W transient capability - the latter applies only to short-duration pulses with ≤0.01 % duty cycle.
How does the M3 suffix differ from E3 in SMBJ75CA-M3/52?
The M3 suffix in SMBJ75CA-M3/52 denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction using bromine-free flame retardants in the molding compound, whereas E3 uses RoHS-compliant materials that may contain halogens. Both meet RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, but M3 satisfies stricter regional requirements (e.g., Japan's JIS C 0950, China's SJ/T 11364-2014). Electrically and mechanically, SMBJ75CA-M3/52 and SMBJ75CA-E3/52 are identical - only material composition differs.
