Product details
Overview
SMBJ85AHE3_B/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 85 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 94.4–104 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 137 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 4.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ85AHE3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ85AHE3_B/H pinout, SMBJ85AHE3_B/H application, or SMBJ85AHE3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and compliance with UL 497B surge protector classification.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds VBR. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), while the low incremental surge resistance enables effective energy diversion during ESD or lightning-induced surges.
The SMBJ85AHE3_B/H is rated for 600 W peak pulse power under 10/1000 µs waveform with 0.01% duty cycle, and supports repetitive surge events when thermally managed. Its MSL Level 1 rating (JEDEC J-STD-020) and matte tin-plated leads ensure compatibility with standard SMT reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ85AHM3_B/H | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant variant with identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification. | No functional difference; selected when halogen-free material compliance is required for end-equipment certification. | Choose SMBJ85AHM3_B/H if EU RoHS Annex II halogen restrictions apply to final product. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ85AHE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ85AHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 137 V at 4.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events and is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88392, page 2.
Is SMBJ85AHE3_B/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ85AHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HE3" suffix and explicitly stated in the Vishay ordering information table (page 3). This qualification validates its reliability for automotive body electronics, infotainment, and ADAS subsystems subject to extended temperature cycling and mechanical shock.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for SMBJ85AHE3_B/H?
The typical thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA) for SMBJ85AHE3_B/H is 100 °C/W, measured on the minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" copper pad layout per JEDEC standards. This value guides thermal design when multiple surges occur in rapid succession or ambient temperatures exceed 70 °C.
Does SMBJ85AHE3_B/H have UL recognition?
Yes, SMBJ85AHE3_B/H carries Underwriters Laboratories recognition under UL 497B (file E136766) for both unidirectional and bidirectional TVS devices. This certification confirms its suitability as a primary surge protection component in telecom and industrial equipment requiring safety agency approval.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SMBJ85AHE3_B/H at its stand-off voltage?
The maximum reverse leakage current (ID) for SMBJ85AHE3_B/H is 1.0 µA at its 85 V stand-off voltage (VWM), tested at TA = 25 °C. This low leakage preserves efficiency in always-on circuits and avoids unintended biasing of downstream analog or low-power logic stages.
