Product details
Overview
SMCJ60HE3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AB (SMCJ) package, designed for high-energy surge protection with 60 V standoff voltage (VWM), 66.7–73.7 V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 1500 W peak pulse power (PPPM). It clamps transients to ≤96.8 V at 15.5 A, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ60HE3/57T datasheet, SMCJ60HE3/57T pinout, SMCJ60HE3/57T application, or SMCJ60HE3/57T equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 150 °C max junction temperature, RoHS-compliant matte tin leads, J-STD-002 solderability, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity rating.
Technical Context
The SMCJ60HE3/57T operates as a silicon avalanche diode that enters breakdown when reverse voltage exceeds its VBR range (66.7–73.7 V at 1 mA), limiting transient energy by clamping to ≤96.8 V at 15.5 A under 10/1000 μs waveform. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 μA at 60 V) and fast response time (sub-nanosecond).
Thermally, it features RθJA = 75 °C/W and RθJL = 15 °C/W, enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature. The device is rated for 200 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine) and meets UL 497B recognition (QVGQ2) for protector classification.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ60A-E3/52T | Lower PPPM (400 W), smaller SMA package (DO-214AC), higher VBR (66.7–73.7 V same), same VWM | Not suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 level 4; limited to lower-energy threats like ESD and minor switching noise | Select only where board space is constrained and surge energy is below 100 mJ. |
| SMCJ60AHE3/57T | Identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; differs only in packaging suffix (HE3 vs. HE3/57T denotes same tape-and-reel format) | No functional difference; alternate ordering code for identical device | Direct form-fit-function match; verify manufacturer's cross-reference bulletin for full equivalence confirmation. |
Compared with SMAJ60A-E3/52T, the SMCJ60HE3/57T delivers 275 % higher surge power handling and superior thermal dissipation due to larger DO-214AB footprint; versus SMCJ60AHE3/57T, it is the same device-no design or performance trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of the SMCJ60HE3/57T?
The SMCJ60HE3/57T is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode, meaning it conducts only in reverse bias above its breakdown voltage. Its cathode is marked by a band on the DO-214AB package body, and it must be oriented with cathode toward the protected line and anode to ground in standard applications. This configuration blocks forward current while clamping positive transients on the line side.
Does the SMCJ60HE3/57T meet automotive reliability standards?
Yes, the SMCJ60HE3/57T carries the HE3 suffix, which explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. It has undergone stress testing including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and ESD per JESD22-A114, confirming suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics where sustained 150 °C operation is required.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMCJ60HE3/57T under surge conditions?
The SMCJ60HE3/57T has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 96.8 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 15.5 A under the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events.
Can the SMCJ60HE3/57T be used in bi-directional protection applications?
No-the SMCJ60HE3/57T is strictly unidirectional. For bi-directional protection, Vishay specifies the CA-suffixed variant (e.g., SMCJ60CA). Using the SMCJ60HE3/57T in a bi-directional configuration would result in forward conduction during negative transients, potentially damaging the device or failing to protect the circuit. Always match suffix (A vs. CA) to polarity requirement.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating for the SMCJ60HE3/57T?
The SMCJ60HE3/57T is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, with a maximum peak reflow temperature of 260 °C. This means it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without dry-pack requirements and is fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles, eliminating the need for baking or special handling prior to SMT assembly.
