Product details
Overview
SMBJ75CHE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping inductive switching transients and lightning-induced surges on DC power rails 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.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75CHE3/52 datasheet, SMBJ75CHE3/52 pinout, SMBJ75CHE3/52 application, or SMBJ75CHE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 5.0 A surge, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-band polarity marking, leveraging a glass-passivated silicon junction for fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its operation relies on avalanche breakdown above VBR to divert transient energy away from protected circuitry while maintaining stable VWM during normal operation.
The SMBJ75CHE3/52 is rated for -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (peak reflow 260 °C), and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive applications. Its 600 W peak pulse power capability is specified under repetitive 0.01% duty cycle conditions with derating above TA = 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin for 12 V/24 V/48 V systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 83.3 V / 92.1 V at IT = 1.0 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures reliable turn-on without premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPPM | 121 V at 5.0 A - Clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during standardized 10/1000 µs surge events. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 µs waveform supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Thermal resistance determines allowable power dissipation on standard PCB pad layout (0.2" × 0.2"). |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature enables use in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD robustness. |
Pinout & Package

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power | Enables protection against high-energy transients per IEC 61000-4-5 without external heatsinking. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates suitability for automotive powertrain, body control, and ADAS modules requiring long-term field reliability. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable leakage current (<1.0 µA at VWM) and consistent VBR over temperature and lifetime. |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Supports single-reflow assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns; peak reflow up to 260 °C. |
| Low profile SMB package | Reduces board space vs. SMA/SMB alternatives while maintaining 600 W rating and automated placement compatibility. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75AHE3/52 | Same electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; differs only in packaging suffix notation (HE3 vs. HE3/52). | No functional difference; identical use in automotive and industrial designs. | Select SMBJ75AHE3/52 if sourcing from distributors listing that exact P/N variant. |
| SMCJ75AHE3/52 | Higher 1500 W peak pulse power, larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same VWM/VBR/VC ratings. | Better suited for higher-energy transients where board space allows larger footprint and thermal mass. | Choose SMCJ75AHE3/52 when system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W requirements or thermal budget permits larger case. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ75CHE3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ75CHE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V at 5.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is measured across the device terminals during surge conduction and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events.
Is SMBJ75CHE3/52 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ75CHE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified, confirming its reliability for automotive use cases including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems. The "HE3" suffix explicitly denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101-qualified construction per Vishay's ordering nomenclature.
What does the "/52" suffix indicate in SMBJ75CHE3/52?
The "/52" suffix in SMBJ75CHE3/52 specifies packaging: 750 pieces per 7-inch plastic tape-and-reel. This is a standard distribution format for SMT assembly and aligns with Vishay's preferred ordering code structure for volume production use.
How does SMBJ75CHE3/52 differ from bidirectional variants like SMBJ75CHE3/52CA?
SMBJ75CHE3/52 is unidirectional with cathode-band polarity, intended for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed. Bidirectional versions (e.g., SMBJ75CHE3/52CA) lack polarity marking and conduct in both directions-used for AC lines or differential signals-but exhibit identical VWM and VC ratings in either direction.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ75CHE3/52, and how does it affect layout?
The SMBJ75CHE3/52 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 requires adequate copper area and minimal trace length to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C during repetitive surge events.
