Product details
Overview
SMBJ7.5H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for automotive-grade ESD and surge protection in power rails and signal lines. It features a 7.5 V working stand-off voltage, 8.33–10.3 V breakdown voltage at 1 mA, 14.3 V maximum clamping voltage at 100 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 µs waveform. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used in automotive lighting control modules to protect microcontrollers and CAN transceivers from load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ7.5H datasheet, SMBJ7.5H pinout, SMBJ7.5H application, or SMBJ7.5H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin vs. IC absolute maximum ratings, leakage current at operating voltage, thermal derating above 25°C, and compliance with ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b for automotive electronics.
Technical Context
The SMBJ7.5H operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold (VBR = 8.33–10.3 V), with fast response (<1.0 ps) enabling suppression of EFT and ESD transients before downstream IC damage occurs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1 µA at 7.5 V).
Thermal performance is defined by RθJC = 10 °C/W and RθJA = 55 °C/W, supporting operation up to TJ = 150 °C. It meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94V-0 flammability requirements in the DO-214AA (SMB) package.

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting LED driver ICs and microcontrollers in headlamp control units exposed to load dump and battery reversal events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between 12 V supply and ground to clamp surges before they reach sensitive logic and analog circuitry. Use Value: Limits clamped voltage to 14.3 V at 100 A, staying safely below 16 V absolute max ratings of common automotive MCUs and LED drivers. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding 5 V and 3.3 V LDO regulators and CAN transceivers in BCMs subjected to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 and Pulse 2a. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-level TVS on intermediate rails, coordinated with primary front-end protection to manage energy distribution across stages. Use Value: Sub-1 µA leakage at 7.5 V prevents loading of low-current bias networks feeding CAN bus termination and wake-up comparators. |
| Industrial Sensor Interface | 12 V Automotive Infotainment Power Input |
Use Scenario: Shielding RS-485 transceivers and ADC front-ends in vehicle-mounted environmental sensors from EFT bursts and cable-induced transients.

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 | Narrower VBR range (8.33–9.21 V) and lower VC (12.9 V at 100 A); same package and power rating | Better clamping margin for 12 V systems with tight VMAX limits (e.g., 13.5 V-rated PMICs) | Select SMBJ7.5A when lower clamping voltage is prioritized over VBR tolerance width |
| SAC7.5 | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs but in smaller SOD-123FL package; lower PPK (400 W) and higher RθJA (100 °C/W) | Suitable for space-constrained consumer or non-automotive industrial designs where AEC-Q101 is not required | Select SAC7.5 only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications with lower surge exposure and thermal budget |
Compared with SMBJ7.5A and SAC7.5, the SMBJ7.5H offers broader VBR tolerance and AEC-Q101 qualification-critical for automotive reliability-while maintaining identical DO-214AA footprint and 600 W surge capability, making it the preferred choice for under-hood and chassis-mounted modules requiring certified robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ7.5H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ7.5H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 14.3 V when subjected to a 100 A peak impulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under standardized test conditions per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures the protected circuit sees no more than 14.3 V during worst-case surge events. The SMBJ7.5H maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ7.5H suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, SMBJ7.5H is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not rated for bidirectional operation. For bipolar applications, Taiwan Semiconductor specifies parts with "CH" or "CAH" suffixes (e.g., SMBJ7.5CH). Using SMBJ7.5H in reverse-biased configurations may result in premature failure or undefined clamping behavior. Always verify polarity alignment in PCB layout-cathode must connect to the line being protected.
Does SMBJ7.5H meet automotive industry surge immunity standards?
Yes, SMBJ7.5H meets ISO 7637-2 requirements for Pulses 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b, and is AEC-Q101 qualified. These certifications confirm its suitability for automotive power networks subject to load dump, battery disconnection, and inductive switching transients. Its 600 W peak power rating and 14.3 V clamping voltage align directly with the energy levels defined in ISO 7637-2 for 12 V systems.
What is the leakage current specification for SMBJ7.5H at its working stand-off voltage?
The SMBJ7.5H exhibits a maximum blocking leakage current (ID) of 1 µA when biased at its 7.5 V working stand-off voltage (VWM). This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on automotive subsystems and avoids interference with precision voltage monitoring circuits. The value is guaranteed at TA = 25°C and remains below 5 µA up to 125°C per datasheet derating curves.
Can SMBJ7.5H be used in place of SMBJ7.5A in an existing design?
SMBJ7.5H and SMBJ7.5A share the same DO-214AA package and pinout, but differ in VBR range (8.33–10.3 V vs. 8.33–9.21 V) and clamping voltage (14.3 V vs. 12.9 V at 100 A). Substituting SMBJ7.5H for SMBJ7.5A increases clamping voltage by 1.4 V-verify that downstream ICs tolerate this margin. No PCB changes are needed, but system-level surge testing is recommended after substitution.
