Product details
Overview
SMCJ7.5HE3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AB (SMCJ) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 7.5 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 8.33–9.21 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1.0 mA, 12.9 V clamping voltage (VC) at 116.3 A peak pulse current, and 1500 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - used in automotive power supply inputs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ7.5HE3/57T datasheet, SMCJ7.5HE3/57T pinout, SMCJ7.5HE3/57T application, or SMCJ7.5HE3/57T equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, 1500 W surge capability, RoHS-compliant HE3 whisker-tested terminations, and DO-214AB thermal performance under 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pad layout.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, triggering into avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds VBR. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<100 µA at VWM), while the low incremental surge resistance enables effective energy diversion during fast transients like ISO 7637-2 pulses.
Designed for surface-mount automated placement, it meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak, and its thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W, RθJL = 15 °C/W) supports reliable operation up to TJ = +150 °C in constrained PCB layouts with minimum recommended copper pads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 7.5 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR (min/max) | 8.33 V / 9.21 V at 1.0 mA - guaranteed avalanche initiation window defining protection threshold tolerance |
| VC @ IPPM | 12.9 V at 116.3 A - clamped voltage during 1500 W transient, limiting stress on downstream ICs |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 µs waveform, critical for automotive load-dump immunity |
| IFSM | 200 A - non-repetitive forward surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine), relevant for uni-directional fault paths |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature enabling use in under-hood automotive environments |
| Leakage ID | <100 µA at 7.5 V - minimal standby power loss and signal integrity impact in always-on circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AB (SMCJ), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102; cathode indicated by band on body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| Anode | Forward current entry / low-side reference | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail in uni-directional clamp configuration |
| Cathode (banded end) | Avalanche conduction node / high-side connection | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail); conducts surge current to ground when VREV > VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Low-profile DO-214AB package | Enables high-density PCB layouts with 0.320" height and 0.220"–0.246" width footprint |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and long-term parameter stability under thermal stress |
| 1500 W peak pulse power | Withstands ISO 16750-2 load dump surges (up to 35 V, 200 ms) when combined with series impedance |
| HE3 suffix | Meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, suitable for high-reliability automotive harness and ECU assemblies |
Applications
| Automotive Power Input Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V battery-fed ECUs against load dump and jump-start transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between power rail and chassis ground, clamping surges within nanoseconds. Use Value: Limits rail voltage to ≤12.9 V during 116 A transients, preventing damage to MCU power supplies and CAN transceivers. | Use Scenario: Shielding analog output lines (e.g., 4–20 mA current loop) from ESD and inductive switching noise in factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS shunting transients to ground before reaching precision DAC or op-amp output stage. Use Value: Sub-100 µA leakage preserves loop accuracy; 12.9 V clamping prevents latch-up in 24 V-powered sensor front-ends. |
| DC-DC Converter Input Stage | Telecom Power Supply Surge Suppression |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding buck converter input capacitors and MOSFETs from line-induced spikes in PoE-powered equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp upstream of input filter, absorbing energy before LC filtering attenuates high-frequency content. Use Value: 1500 W rating handles repetitive 10/1000 µs surges common in shared building power systems without degradation. | Use Scenario: Secondary-side protection on -48 V telecom rectifier outputs exposed to lightning-induced surges on distribution lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uni-directional clamp referenced to system ground, suppressing positive-going transients on negative rails. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification ensures long-term stability in 24/7 base station operation; DO-214AB thermal path sustains 150 °C ambient. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.5AHE3/52T | Lower PPPM (600 W), smaller SMB package (DO-214AA), same VWM/VC specs | Reduced surge margin; suitable only for non-automotive, lower-energy transients | Select when board space is constrained and peak surge energy is ≤600 W |
| SMCJ7.5A-E3/57T | Same package and electrical specs but commercial-grade (E3), not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive reliability validation; limited to industrial/commercial temperature range assurance | Select for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with SMCJ7.5HE3/57T, SMBJ7.5AHE3/52T trades surge capacity for footprint reduction, while SMCJ7.5A-E3/57T retains identical clamping performance but omits automotive qualification - making SMCJ7.5HE3/57T the sole choice for AEC-Q101-compliant 1500 W protection in DO-214AB.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SMCJ7.5HE3/57T and how is it measured?
The SMCJ7.5HE3/57T has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 12.9 V, measured at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 116.3 A using a standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform. This value reflects the actual voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case surge events and is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range per Vishay's characterization in Document 88394.
Is the SMCJ7.5HE3/57T suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the SMCJ7.5HE3/57T is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use. Its HE3 suffix confirms compliance with JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing, and its thermal performance (TJ max. = +150 °C) and surge robustness (1500 W, 10/1000 µs) meet requirements for engine control modules, body electronics, and ADAS power domains as defined in ISO 16750-2.
What does the "HE3" suffix mean in SMCJ7.5HE3/57T?
The "HE3" suffix in SMCJ7.5HE3/57T indicates two key attributes: "H" denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, and "E3" specifies RoHS-compliant construction with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. This distinguishes it from commercial-grade "E3" variants and confirms suitability for high-reliability automotive harnesses and ECUs where tin whisker mitigation is mandatory.
How does the SMCJ7.5HE3/57T differ from the SMCJ7.5A-E3/57T?
The SMCJ7.5HE3/57T and SMCJ7.5A-E3/57T share identical electrical specifications and DO-214AB packaging, but only the HE3 version carries AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing. The E3 variant is commercial-grade and lacks automotive reliability validation - making SMCJ7.5HE3/57T the required part for automotive BOMs where qualification evidence is audited.
What PCB layout guidance applies to the SMCJ7.5HE3/57T for optimal thermal performance?
Vishay specifies mounting the SMCJ7.5HE3/57T on 0.31" × 0.31" (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) copper pads per terminal to achieve rated power dissipation. Maintaining this minimum pad area ensures the specified RθJA of 75 °C/W and prevents thermal runaway during repetitive surge events. Thermal vias under pads are recommended for sustained high-temperature operation near TJ max.
