Product details
Overview
SMCJ75C-E3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AB (SMCJ) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features a 75 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 121 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 12.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1500 W peak pulse power dissipation (PPPM) with 10/1000 µs waveform. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used to protect automotive sensor interfaces and industrial I/O lines against ESD and inductive switching surges.
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ75C-E3/57T datasheet, SMCJ75C-E3/57T pinout, SMCJ75C-E3/57T application, or SMCJ75C-E3/57T equivalent, key selection criteria include bi-directional clamping capability, 121 V VC at rated IPPM, DO-214AB thermal performance (RθJA = 75 °C/W), and compliance with AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This bi-directional TVS diode operates symmetrically in both polarities, with breakdown voltage (VBR) specified from 83.3 V to 92.1 V at 1 mA test current. Its low incremental surge resistance enables effective energy diversion during fast transients, while glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1 µA at VWM) and long-term reliability under repeated surge stress.
The device meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C peak, and uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. No polarity marking is present-consistent with bi-directional construction-and it is rated for operation from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR min/max | 83.3 V / 92.1 V at 1 mA - Ensures predictable turn-on threshold across production lot |
| VC @ IPPM | 121 V at 12.4 A - Clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs surge |
| PPPM | 1500 W - Peak transient power the device can absorb without failure |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1 µA - Minimal leakage current preserves signal integrity in high-impedance circuits |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables use in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAC75 | Lower PPPM (600 W), same VWM (75 V), smaller DO-214AA package | Reduced surge handling; suitable only for lower-energy transients (e.g., ESD-only) | Select SMCJ75C-E3/57T when full 1500 W IEC 61000-4-5 compliance is required |
| SMCJ75CAHE3/57T | Identical electrical specs but AEC-Q101 qualified version with HE3 suffix | No functional difference; HE3 denotes enhanced whisker resistance (JESD 201 Class 2) | Choose SMCJ75C-E3/57T for commercial-grade cost optimization where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with SAC75 and SMCJ75CAHE3/57T, the SMCJ75C-E3/57T offers optimal balance of high-energy surge capability (1500 W), automotive-grade reliability (AEC-Q101), and commercial cost structure-making it preferred for industrial and Tier-2 automotive designs requiring proven robustness without premium qualification overhead.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SMCJ75C-E3/57T under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMCJ75C-E3/57T has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 12.4 A using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and reflects worst-case conduction behavior during surge events, ensuring downstream circuits remain within safe voltage limits.
Is the SMCJ75C-E3/57T suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the SMCJ75C-E3/57T is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use. Its construction-including glass-passivated junction, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and –55 °C to +150 °C operating range-supports deployment in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is mandatory.
How does the bi-directional design of the SMCJ75C-E3/57T affect its mounting and layout?
The SMCJ75C-E3/57T has no polarity marking and functions identically in both directions, so PCB layout requires no orientation alignment. Engineers may place it across any two nodes needing symmetrical overvoltage protection-such as differential signal pairs or AC-coupled lines-without concern for anode/cathode assignment, simplifying routing and reducing assembly errors.
What is the thermal resistance of the SMCJ75C-E3/57T, and how does it impact PCB design?
The SMCJ75C-E3/57T has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W when mounted on 0.31" × 0.31" (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. To maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C under sustained 6.5 W power dissipation, designers must ensure adequate copper area and consider airflow or heatsinking-especially in enclosed industrial enclosures.
Does the SMCJ75C-E3/57T meet RoHS and lead-free soldering requirements?
Yes, the SMCJ75C-E3/57T carries the E3 suffix, indicating full RoHS compliance and compatibility with lead-free reflow processes up to a peak temperature of 260 °C. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and it passes JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing-ensuring long-term interconnect reliability.
