Product details
Overview
SMCJ58CAHM3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection with 58 V standoff voltage (VWM), 64.4–71.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 1500 W peak pulse power (PPPM) at 10/1000 μs waveform. It clamps transients to ≤93.6 V at 16.0 A IPPM and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, widely used in automotive sensor line protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ58CAHM3/H datasheet, SMCJ58CAHM3/H pinout, SMCJ58CAHM3/H application, or SMCJ58CAHM3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification (via HM3 suffix), halogen-free RoHS compliance, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast response (<1 ns) to ESD and lightning-induced surges. Its bidirectional architecture enables symmetrical clamping in AC-coupled or floating signal paths without polarity sensitivity.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 75 °C/W and RθJL = 15 °C/W, supporting reliable operation under repetitive surge conditions when mounted per recommended pad layout. The device meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C lead-free reflow peak.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional protector placed between transformer secondary and line driver IC input. Use Value: 93.6 V clamping voltage ensures driver ICs rated for 100 V absolute maximum survive Category A/B surge events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ58CA-E3/57T | Lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package (smaller thermal mass), higher RθJA (110 °C/W) | Not suitable for automotive under-hood use due to lower surge rating and derated thermal performance | Select only for space-constrained consumer applications with <400 W surge exposure |
| SMCJ58AHE3_A/H | Unidirectional version; identical VWM/VBR/PPPM but cathode-marked; lacks bidirectional symmetry | Requires correct polarity placement; unsuitable for AC-coupled or floating differential lines | Choose only when circuit topology enforces fixed polarity and grounding scheme permits unidirectional clamping |
Compared with SMCJ58CAHM3/H, SMAJ58CA-E3/57T offers reduced surge robustness and thermal capability, while SMCJ58AHE3_A/H sacrifices bidirectional flexibility for identical clamping specs-making SMCJ58CAHM3/H optimal for automotive and differential interface protection where polarity independence and AEC-Q101 compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What does the 'HM3' suffix indicate in SMCJ58CAHM3/H?
The HM3 suffix in SMCJ58CAHM3/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It confirms the device meets automotive reliability standards including temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity testing-critical for under-hood and ADAS sensor applications. SMCJ58CAHM3/H is not merely commercial-grade; its HM3 designation guarantees validated performance in automotive environments.
Is SMCJ58CAHM3/H bidirectional, and how does that affect PCB layout?
Yes, SMCJ58CAHM3/H is a bidirectional TVS diode with no polarity marking-both terminals are functionally identical. This eliminates orientation concerns during automated placement and allows symmetric placement across differential lines like CAN H/L or RS-485 A/B. Unlike unidirectional variants, SMCJ58CAHM3/H requires no cathode band alignment, reducing assembly errors and simplifying layout for floating or AC-coupled signal paths.
What is the clamping voltage of SMCJ58CAHM3/H at its rated surge current?
The clamping voltage (VC) of SMCJ58CAHM3/H is 93.6 V at 16.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value defines the maximum voltage imposed on protected circuitry during a full-rated surge event. Engineers use this figure to verify that downstream ICs-such as CAN transceivers or ADC front-ends-remain within their absolute maximum voltage ratings when SMCJ58CAHM3/H is active.
Can SMCJ58CAHM3/H replace SMCJ58AHE3_A/H in a design?
No-SMCJ58CAHM3/H cannot directly replace SMCJ58AHE3_A/H without layout review. While both share identical VWM (58 V), VBR, and PPPM (1500 W), SMCJ58AHE3_A/H is unidirectional and requires correct cathode orientation. Substituting SMCJ58CAHM3/H introduces bidirectional clamping, which may alter protection behavior in polarized circuits (e.g., DC-biased signal lines). Use SMCJ58CAHM3/H only where bidirectional symmetry is required or verified compatible.
What thermal derating applies to SMCJ58CAHM3/H above 25 °C ambient?
SMCJ58CAHM3/H must be derated linearly above TA = 25 °C per Figure 2 in the Vishay datasheet (Doc. #88394). At 75 °C ambient, its peak pulse power drops to ~850 W (≈57% of 1500 W), and at 125 °C, it falls to ~300 W. Derating is based on RθJA = 75 °C/W and assumes mounting on 0.31" × 0.31" (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. For SMCJ58CAHM3/H, sustained high-temperature operation requires verifying actual board-level thermal resistance.
