Product details
Overview
SMBJ75CD-M3/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 signal and power lines. It features a 75 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 84.6–90.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 119 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 5.06 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75CD-M3/I datasheet, SMBJ75CD-M3/I pinout, SMBJ75CD-M3/I application, or SMBJ75CD-M3/I equivalent, this device is selected for robust overvoltage protection in industrial sensor interfaces, telecom line cards, DC power rails, and automotive body electronics where bidirectional surge immunity and low leakage (<0.5 μA at VWM) are critical.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, enabling protection of AC-coupled or floating signal paths without polarity constraints. Its silicon avalanche structure delivers sub-nanosecond response time and low dynamic impedance, ensuring effective clamping before sensitive downstream components experience overstress.
The device complies with IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD), IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT), and IEC 61000-4-5 (surge) standards when applied with appropriate PCB layout-specifically using minimum recommended 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad area to maintain thermal performance and achieve rated 600 W pulse power handling.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75CA-E3/52 (Vishay) | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs; differs only in packaging (tape-and-reel quantity and reel diameter) and M3 vs. -E3 suffix compliance grading. | No functional difference; -E3/52 is legacy packaging variant with identical electrical and thermal performance. | Select SMBJ75CD-M3/I for new designs requiring halogen-free, JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and 13″ reel logistics. |
| P6SMB75CA (ON Semiconductor) | Identical SMB package, 75 V VWM, 84.6–90.8 V VBR, 119 V VC; minor differences in leakage (≤1 μA vs. ≤0.5 μA) and thermal resistance (RθJA = 130 °C/W vs. 125 °C/W). | Valid for same IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 applications but may require margin check on high-temperature PCB layouts due to slightly higher RθJA. | Use P6SMB75CA only if dual-sourcing is mandated and thermal derating analysis confirms adequate margin at max TJ. |
Compared with SMBJ75CD-M3/I, SMBJ75CA-E3/52 offers identical protection performance with legacy packaging, while P6SMB75CA provides second-source availability with marginally higher leakage and thermal resistance-requiring verification in thermally constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ75CD-M3/I under maximum rated surge current?
The SMBJ75CD-M3/I exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 119 V when subjected to its peak pulse current (IPPM) of 5.06 A, measured using the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ75CD-M3/I maintains this clamping performance without degradation under repetitive surge conditions at ≤0.01 % duty cycle.
Is SMBJ75CD-M3/I suitable for protecting RS-485 communication lines?
Yes, SMBJ75CD-M3/I is well-suited for RS-485 line protection due to its bidirectional architecture, which matches the differential nature of the bus, and its 119 V clamping voltage that safeguards transceivers rated for ≥±15 V common-mode range. Its low capacitance (<100 pF) avoids signal edge distortion at typical RS-485 data rates up to 10 Mbps. The SMBJ75CD-M3/I must be placed at the connector interface with proper PCB layout-using symmetric traces and ground plane coupling-to ensure balanced transient diversion.
How does the M3 suffix affect the SMBJ75CD-M3/I specification?
The M3 suffix on SMBJ75CD-M3/I indicates halogen-free molding compound, RoHS compliance, industrial-grade qualification, and passing JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance testing. It does not alter electrical parameters such as VWM, VBR, or VC. The M3 designation ensures suitability for high-reliability manufacturing environments where tin whisker mitigation and environmental compliance are mandatory-critical for automotive and industrial deployments. The SMBJ75CD-M3/I retains all baseline TVS performance while meeting extended material and process requirements.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SMBJ75CD-M3/I?
The SMBJ75CD-M3/I has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) rating of +150 °C, verified per JEDEC test methods and supported by its thermal resistance profile (RθJA = 125 °C/W on minimum pad, RθJM = 20 °C/W). This allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive locations, sealed industrial enclosures, and high-power-density PCBs where ambient temperatures exceed +85 °C. Derating curves in the Vishay datasheet (Fig. 5) define allowable power dissipation versus ambient temperature to ensure the SMBJ75CD-M3/I remains within its safe operating area.
Can SMBJ75CD-M3/I replace unidirectional TVS diodes like SMBJ75D-M3/I in existing designs?
No-SMBJ75CD-M3/I is strictly bidirectional and cannot substitute for unidirectional SMBJ75D-M3/I without circuit review. While both share identical VWM (75 V), VBR (84.6–90.8 V), and VC (119 V), the unidirectional version requires correct cathode orientation relative to DC bias, whereas the bidirectional SMBJ75CD-M3/I conducts equally in both directions. Replacing SMBJ75D-M3/I with SMBJ75CD-M3/I on a DC rail may cause unintended conduction or increased leakage if reverse-biased voltage exceeds VWM. Always verify polarity requirements and signal topology before interchanging SMBJ75CD-M3/I and unidirectional variants.
