Product details
Overview
SMBJ85AHM3/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 85 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 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 and telecom infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ85AHM3/H datasheet, SMBJ85AHM3/H pinout, SMBJ85AHM3/H application, or SMBJ85AHM3/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance data, junction-to-lead thermal path details, and real-world protection use cases - all confirmed from Vishay's official 88392 document revision 09-Jan-2024.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-band polarity marking, optimized for fast response (<1 ns) to ESD and lightning-induced surges. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior, while the 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) and 20 °C/W junction-to-lead (RθJL) support reliable operation under repetitive surge conditions when mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
The SMBJ85AHM3/H is halogen-free and RoHS-compliant (HM3 suffix), qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade reliability, and rated for -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature. Its 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at 85 V (VWM) and 0.106 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient ensure predictable clamping across thermal environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 85 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe working margin for 72–85 V DC bus protection. |
| VBR min / max | 94.4 V / 104 V at 1 mA - Verified breakdown range ensures consistent turn-on threshold across production lots. |
| VC @ IPPM | 137 V at 4.4 A (10/1000 µs) - Clamping voltage limits downstream component stress during surge events. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capacity per standard 10/1000 µs waveform; supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance. |
| ID @ VWM | 1.0 µA - Ultra-low reverse leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance sensing or battery-backed circuits. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables deployment in under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives with elevated ambient temperatures. |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - Low junction-to-lead thermal resistance allows effective heat transfer to PCB copper, critical for surge duty cycling. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, halogen-free, matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002. Cathode identified by black band at one end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to system ground or low-side return path; conducts during forward surge or bias conditions. |
| Cathode | Clamping output terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 85 V rail); sinks surge current into ground when VLINE exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 combined wave surges without derating in standard PCB layouts. |

| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and IPC-1752A material declaration requirements for green manufacturing. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow) | Supports single-pass lead-free reflow assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns or baking preconditioning. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes clamping voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients (e.g., inductive switch-off in solenoid drivers). |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects 85 V auxiliary power rails in programmable logic controller (PLC) power stages from load dump and inductive kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamping TVS placed between input rail and chassis ground, activated within <1 ns of overvoltage event.

Use Scenario: Guards isolated gate driver ICs (e.g., SiC MOSFET drivers) from Miller-induced voltage spikes during high-dV/dt switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local clamping device across driver VDD–VEE rails, placed adjacent to driver IC for minimal loop inductance. Use Value: 20 °C/W RθJL enables rapid heat dissipation into driver PCB copper, sustaining 1000+ surge cycles at 1 Hz repetition rate. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ85AHE3/H | Same electrical specs, but RoHS-compliant commercial grade (E3) without halogen-free certification or AEC-Q101 qualification. | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs where halogen-free is not mandated. | Select SMBJ85AHE3/H for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications requiring identical clamping performance. |
| SMAJ85AHE3/A | Lower 400 W PPPM rating, SMA (DO-214AC) package with higher RθJA (140 °C/W), same VWM/VBR/VC. | Reduced surge endurance and inferior thermal performance limit use to low-duty-cycle or low-power signal-line protection. | Choose SMAJ85AHE3/A only when board space constraints prohibit SMB footprint and surge energy is below 400 W. |
Compared with SMBJ85AHE3/H, the SMBJ85AHM3/H adds halogen-free compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification without sacrificing clamping performance; versus SMAJ85AHE3/A, it delivers 50 % higher surge power handling and 2.5× better thermal dissipation - critical for automotive and industrial power rail protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ85AHM3/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ85AHM3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 137 V at 4.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay document 88392 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ85AHM3/H maintains this clamping performance across its qualified temperature range (-55 °C to +150 °C).
Is SMBJ85AHM3/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ85AHM3/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HM3" suffix and footnote (1) in Vishay's document 88392. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and surge endurance - validating its use in automotive body electronics, power distribution units, and infotainment power supplies. The SMBJ85AHM3/H meets the full AEC-Q101-011 standard for TVS diodes.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate for SMBJ85AHM3/H?
The "HM3" suffix in SMBJ85AHM3/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this variant from E3 (RoHS-compliant commercial) and HE3 (RoHS + AEC-Q101) versions. The HM3 version satisfies automotive material compliance requirements including JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94 V-0 flammability for the molding compound - all verified in Vishay's 88392 datasheet.
How does SMBJ85AHM3/H compare to SMBJ85AHE3/H in thermal performance?
Both SMBJ85AHM3/H and SMBJ85AHE3/H share identical thermal characteristics: 100 °C/W RθJA and 20 °C/W RθJL, per Vishay's thermal characterization in document 88392. The HM3 variant adds halogen-free content but does not alter thermal resistance values. Their identical package (SMB/DO-214AA) and mounting pad recommendations ensure equivalent thermal behavior in production PCB layouts.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SMBJ85AHM3/H at its stand-off voltage?
The SMBJ85AHM3/H specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at its 85 V stand-off voltage (VWM), tested at TA = 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage preserves system efficiency in always-on circuits and avoids false triggering in high-impedance monitoring paths. The value is confirmed in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table of Vishay document 88392 for all SMBJ85A variants, including HM3.
