Product details
Overview
SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping ESD and surge transients on signal/power lines. It features 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 9.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 15.4 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 39.0 A peak pulse current, and operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature - deployed in automotive sensor interfaces and industrial I/O protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H pinout, SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H application, or SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification status, 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This device implements a glass-passivated silicon avalanche junction optimized for fast response (<1 ns) to transient overvoltages while maintaining stable clamping performance under repetitive 0.01% duty cycle surges. Its bidirectional symmetry ensures identical electrical behavior in both polarities, eliminating polarity-sensitive layout constraints.
The SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H meets UL 497B recognition (QVGQ2) and J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102. Thermal design relies on its RθJA = 100 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W characteristics when mounted per recommended pad layout.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ9.0CAHM3_B/H | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant variant with identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification. | No functional difference; selected where halogen-free material compliance is mandated by OEM specifications. | Choose SMBJ9.0CAHM3_B/H when environmental compliance requires halogen-free packaging without compromising performance. |
| SMBJ9.0CA-E3/52 | Commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), same SMB package and electrical parameters; different tape-and-reel packaging (750 pcs/reel, 7" reel). | Not qualified for automotive use; suitable for cost-sensitive consumer or industrial applications with lower reliability requirements. | Select SMBJ9.0CA-E3/52 for non-automotive designs where AEC-Q101 is not required and standard commercial grade suffices. |
Compared with SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H, the HM3 variant adds halogen-free compliance without altering clamping behavior or thermal limits, while the E3/52 version removes automotive qualification and changes packaging - enabling trade-offs between regulatory compliance, application environment, and supply chain logistics.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 15.4 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 39.0 A, measured using 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 revision 09-Jan-2024, page 2. The SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HE3" suffix in its part number and confirmed in the Vishay ordering information table (page 3). This qualification validates its suitability for automotive use cases including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces where reliability under thermal cycling, vibration, and extended temperature operation is mandatory. The SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H meets all stress test requirements defined in the AEC-Q101 standard.
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H?
The "CA" suffix in SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H denotes a bidirectional configuration, meaning the device provides symmetrical transient suppression for both positive and negative voltage excursions. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., SMBJ9.0A), the SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H has no polarity marking and exhibits identical breakdown and clamping characteristics in either direction - essential for protecting AC-coupled or differential signal lines such as RS-485, CAN, or Ethernet interfaces.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H from junction to ambient?
The SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended pad layout (0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal), as specified in the Vishay thermal characteristics table (page 3). This value assumes natural convection cooling and is critical for calculating maximum power dissipation limits at elevated ambient temperatures. The SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H also features RθJL = 20 °C/W for lead-based heat transfer paths.
How does SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H differ from SMBJ9.0CA-E3/52?
The SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and RoHS-compliant, whereas SMBJ9.0CA-E3/52 is commercial-grade without automotive qualification. Both share identical electrical parameters, SMB package, and 600 W pulse rating, but differ in reliability validation and packaging format: SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H ships in 7" tape-and-reel (750 pcs), while SMBJ9.0CA-E3/52 uses the same reel size but lacks HE3 qualification. The SMBJ9.0CAHE3_B/H is intended for mission-critical automotive and industrial deployments where certified reliability is mandatory.
