Product details
Overview
SMBJ7.5D-M3/H 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 7.5 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 8.46–9.08 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1.0 mA test current, 12.7 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 47.2 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs waveform). It is used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in industrial power supplies and telecom interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ7.5D-M3/H datasheet, SMBJ7.5D-M3/H pinout, SMBJ7.5D-M3/H application, or SMBJ7.5D-M3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include verified clamping performance under 10/1000 μs surge, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, thermal resistance (RθJA = 125 °C/W on minimum pad), RoHS-compliant halogen-free M3 construction, and UL 497B recognition for telecom surge protection.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping device triggered by reverse-biased avalanche breakdown. Its 7.5 V stand-off voltage ensures compatibility with 5 V and 3.3 V logic supply rails while maintaining low leakage (<75 μA at VWM). The 12.7 V clamping voltage limits downstream voltage stress during 47.2 A transient events.
It is rated for 600 W peak pulse power per 10/1000 μs waveform at TA = 25 °C, with derating above 25 °C per Fig. 2. Junction temperature range spans −55 °C to +150 °C, and it meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 with 260 °C reflow peak.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 7.5 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; compatible with 5 V system rails. |
| VBR min/max | 8.46 V / 9.08 V at IT = 1.0 mA - Tight ±3.5 % tolerance ensures predictable turn-on across production lots. |
| VC @ IPPM | 12.7 V at 47.2 A - Clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case 10/1000 μs surge. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak transient energy absorption capability under standardized lightning/surge waveform. |
| ID @ VWM | <75 μA - Low leakage preserves signal integrity and minimizes standby power loss in battery-powered systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.5A-M3/H | Bidirectional variant; symmetric VBR (8.46–9.08 V) in both polarities; no cathode band marking. | Required where AC-coupled or dual-polarity signal lines (e.g., USB D+/D−, CAN H/L) need protection without polarity biasing. | Select SMBJ7.5A-M3/H only if bidirectional clamping is required; SMBJ7.5D-M3/H is preferred for DC rails with defined ground reference. |
| SMAJ7.5A-E3/5A | Lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA ≈ 150 °C/W), same VWM/VBR range. | Suitable for space-constrained consumer PCBs where 400 W surge margin suffices and thermal mass is limited. | Choose SMAJ7.5A-E3/5A only when board area is critical and peak surge energy is below 400 W; SMBJ7.5D-M3/H provides 50 % higher power headroom. |
Compared with SMBJ7.5A-M3/H and SMAJ7.5A-E3/5A, SMBJ7.5D-M3/H delivers superior unidirectional surge handling (600 W), lower thermal resistance (125 °C/W vs. ≥150 °C/W), and tighter process control for industrial reliability-making it optimal for high-energy DC rail protection where polarity is fixed and power robustness is prioritized.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ7.5D-M3/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ7.5D-M3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 12.7 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 47.2 A under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024, ensuring predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream components in the SMBJ7.5D-M3/H protected circuit.
Is SMBJ7.5D-M3/H RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, SMBJ7.5D-M3/H carries the "M3" suffix, which explicitly denotes halogen-free molding compound, RoHS compliance per Directive 2011/65/EU, and industrial-grade qualification. It also passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements-verified in the official Vishay documentation for SMBJ5.0D–SMBJ188D series.
Does SMBJ7.5D-M3/H have UL recognition for telecom applications?
Yes, SMBJ7.5D-M3/H is UL recognized under file number E136766 for both unidirectional and bidirectional variants, complying with UL 497B for primary protector classification in telecommunications equipment. This certification applies directly to the SMBJ7.5D-M3/H part number as stated in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 87606.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for SMBJ7.5D-M3/H?
The typical thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA) for SMBJ7.5D-M3/H is 125 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended pad layout, as specified in the Vishay datasheet. This value assumes standard FR-4 PCB with defined copper area per Figure 4; actual thermal performance depends on board layout and airflow, and must be validated per application for SMBJ7.5D-M3/H reliability.
How does the VBR tolerance of SMBJ7.5D-M3/H impact circuit design margins?
SMBJ7.5D-M3/H guarantees a ±3.5 % breakdown voltage tolerance (8.46–9.08 V at 1.0 mA), enabling tighter design margins than standard ±5 % TVS diodes. This allows engineers to set lower overvoltage thresholds without risking premature conduction, improving protection fidelity in 5 V and 3.3 V systems where SMBJ7.5D-M3/H is commonly deployed.
