Product details
Overview
SMBJ7.5D-M3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, with 7.5 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 8.46–9.08 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1.0 mA, 12.7 V clamping voltage (VC) at 47.2 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power rating (10/1000 μs waveform). It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients and ESD in industrial and telecom power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ7.5D-M3/I datasheet, SMBJ7.5D-M3/I pinout, SMBJ7.5D-M3/I application, or SMBJ7.5D-M3/I equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, ±3.5 % VBR tolerance, low 0.5 μA reverse leakage at VWM, M3-grade halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on standard PCB pad layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, entering avalanche conduction when transient voltage exceeds its VBR threshold. Its low incremental surge resistance ensures minimal voltage overshoot during fast transients, while the 10/1000 μs waveform rating reflects standardized surge immunity testing per ANSI/IEEE C62.35.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 125 °C/W (on minimum recommended pad) and RθJM = 20 °C/W, supporting operation up to TJ = 150 °C. The device meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, confirming suitability for high-reliability reflow assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 7.5 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| 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 - clamping voltage limits downstream component stress during 600 W surge events |
| PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 μs) - industry-standard surge rating for transient immunity compliance |
| ID @ VWM | 0.5 μA - ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity and minimizes standby power loss |

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/I | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs but A-suffix denotes automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101) | Required for automotive ECUs; not necessary for industrial or consumer designs | Select SMBJ7.5A-M3/I only if AEC-Q101 compliance is mandated |
| P6SMB7.5A | Identical electrical specs but different branding; manufactured by ON Semiconductor, same SMB package and pinout | No functional difference; used where multi-source procurement is required | Valid second-source option with identical layout and test conditions |

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for SMBJ7.5D-M3/I?
The SMBJ7.5D-M3/I has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 8.46 V to 9.08 V at a test current of 1.0 mA, reflecting a tight ±3.5 % tolerance. This specification is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and ensures consistent clamping initiation across manufacturing lots. The SMBJ7.5D-M3/I maintains this VBR stability over its full operating temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C.
Does SMBJ7.5D-M3/I support bidirectional transient suppression?
No, SMBJ7.5D-M3/I is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "D" suffix (as opposed to "CD" for bidirectional variants). It conducts only when the cathode is positive relative to the anode, making it suitable for DC rail protection with defined polarity. For AC or dual-polarity signal lines, a bidirectional variant like SMBJ7.5CD-M3/I must be selected instead.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ7.5D-M3/I under surge conditions?
The SMBJ7.5D-M3/I exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 12.7 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 47.2 A (10/1000 μs waveform). This value is guaranteed per the datasheet and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The low VC ensures compatibility with 12 V logic and power stages without overstressing downstream components.
Is SMBJ7.5D-M3/I compliant with lead-free and RoHS requirements?
Yes, SMBJ7.5D-M3/I carries the "M3" suffix, which certifies halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and adherence to JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance standards. Its matte tin-plated terminals meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability requirements, and the molding compound complies with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating-fully supporting modern lead-free reflow processes.
How does SMBJ7.5D-M3/I differ from SMBJ7.5A-M3/I?
SMBJ7.5D-M3/I is an industrial-grade TVS, while SMBJ7.5A-M3/I is the AEC-Q101-qualified automotive version. Both share identical electrical parameters (VWM, VBR, VC, PPPM), package, and pinout-but only SMBJ7.5A-M3/I undergoes extended stress testing for automotive temperature cycling, humidity, and lifetime reliability. The "A" suffix denotes qualification, not functional differentiation.
