Product details
Overview
SMBJ75C-E3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional 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.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75C-E3/52 datasheet, SMBJ75C-E3/52 pinout, SMBJ75C-E3/52 application, or SMBJ75C-E3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), unidirectional polarity marking, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads suitable for automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device that remains high-impedance below VWM (75 V) and rapidly transitions to low-impedance conduction above VBR (min. 83.3 V) to shunt transient energy. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and fast response time (<1.0 ps).
The SMBJ75C-E3/52 is rated for repetitive 600 W surges (10/1000 µs, 0.01% duty cycle), supports 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), and maintains operation across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range - enabling use in harsh-environment automotive and industrial control systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 75 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage begins; defines safe operating margin for protected circuitry. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 83.3–92.1 V at 1 mA - voltage at which device enters avalanche conduction; ensures reliable triggering above normal operating rail. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 121 V at IPPM = 5.0 A - peak voltage seen by downstream circuit during specified 10/1000 µs transient; determines protection level for sensitive loads. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - maximum transient energy absorption capability under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform; defines surge robustness. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | ≤1.0 µA at VWM - minimal off-state current; avoids loading of high-impedance signal or bias networks. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads; informs derating requirements for sustained power dissipation. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - cathode marked by band; blocks reverse current until breakdown, suited for DC-biased rails like 48 V telecom supplies. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile plastic case with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. Molding compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. Polarity indicated by cathode band on body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / transient return path | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or negative rail); completes clamping loop during overvoltage events. |
| Cathode | Avalanche conduction terminal / protected line connection | Connected to line being protected (e.g., 75 V supply rail); conducts when voltage exceeds VBR, diverting surge current to anode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV/2 Ω) without derating on standard PCB pads. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and long-term reliability under thermal cycling and humidity exposure per JESD22-A101. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow) | Supports single-pass lead-free reflow assembly without moisture-induced popcorning or delamination. |
| RoHS-compliant, halogen-free option available | E3 suffix confirms compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709E halogen-free requirements. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes clamping voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients (e.g., ESD or inductive switch-off), improving protection margin. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Telecom Power Supplies |

Use Scenario: Protection of LIN bus transceivers and microcontroller I/O pins against load dump and jump-start transients in 12 V vehicle subsystems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS installed on power input and LIN data lines to clamp transients exceeding battery rail voltage. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualified variants exist (HE3 suffix); this E3 version provides identical electrical specs for non-automotive BOM reuse with validated thermal performance up to TJ = 150 °C. |
Use Scenario: Guarding analog front-end inputs of precision ADCs in factory automation sensors exposed to relay coil flyback and EMI. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage TVS placed at signal entry point to suppress sub-microsecond transients without affecting 24-bit measurement accuracy. Use Value: 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at 75 V prevents DC offset drift in high-gain instrumentation amplifiers, preserving calibration integrity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75A-E3/52 | Same VWM (75 V), VBR (83.3–92.1 V), VC (121 V), and package; differs only in marking code (A vs C) - functionally identical per Vishay documentation. | No functional difference; both unidirectional, same electrical specs and thermal ratings. | Select SMBJ75C-E3/52 when matching legacy BOMs specifying "C" suffix; SMBJ75A-E3/52 is interchangeable in new designs. |
| SMCJ75A-E3/57T | Higher power rating (1500 W), larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same VWM/VBR/VC but higher IPPM (12.3 A); RθJA = 40 °C/W vs 100 °C/W. | Better suited for high-energy surges where board space allows larger footprint and enhanced thermal dissipation. | Choose SMBJ75C-E3/52 for space-constrained layouts requiring SMB footprint; select SMCJ75A-E3/57T only when >600 W surge immunity is required. |
Compared with SMBJ75A-E3/52, the SMBJ75C-E3/52 offers identical protection performance in the same SMB package, while SMCJ75A-E3/57T delivers higher surge capacity at the cost of larger size and different thermal management - making SMBJ75C-E3/52 optimal for compact, cost-sensitive 75 V rail protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMBJ75C-E3/52 under standard test conditions?
The SMBJ75C-E3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V when subjected to a 5.0 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events - critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Is the SMBJ75C-E3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
The SMBJ75C-E3/52 itself is commercial-grade (E3 suffix), not AEC-Q101 qualified. However, Vishay offers the functionally identical SMBJ75CHE3 variant (HE3 suffix) with full AEC-Q101 qualification. For automotive body control modules or infotainment power rails, specify the HE3 version; SMBJ75C-E3/52 remains appropriate for non-automotive industrial and telecom use where AEC-Q101 is not mandated.
How does the SMBJ75C-E3/52 differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBJ75CA?
The SMBJ75C-E3/52 is unidirectional and features a cathode band for polarity identification, allowing it to block reverse current until breakdown occurs - ideal for DC-biased lines. In contrast, SMBJ75CA is bidirectional with no polarity marking and symmetric clamping in both directions, suited for AC-coupled or differential signal lines. Their VWM and VC values differ accordingly: SMBJ75C-E3/52 has VWM = 75 V, while SMBJ75CA has VWM = 64.5 V.
What is the thermal resistance and how does it affect layout design for the SMBJ75C-E3/52?
The SMBJ75C-E3/52 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This means each watt of average power dissipation raises junction temperature by ~100 °C above ambient - so for sustained operation near TJ(max) = 150 °C, layout must minimize trace resistance and maximize copper area to avoid thermal runaway during repetitive surges.
Does the SMBJ75C-E3/52 meet lead-free soldering requirements?
Yes, the SMBJ75C-E3/52 is RoHS-compliant and rated for lead-free reflow with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C (MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020). Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, supporting reliable wetting and joint formation in standard SAC305 reflow profiles without voiding or dewetting issues.
