Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SMBJ60AHE3_A/I is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 60V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 66.7V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 96.8V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 6.2A
• Power - Peak Pulse: 600W
• Unidirectional Channels: 1
• Package / Case: DO-214AA, SMB
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 150°C (TJ)
• Grade: Automotive
• Qualification: AEC-Q101

The SMBJ60AHE3_B/I is the manufacturer-recommended substitute, sharing identical electrical specifications and automotive-grade qualifications while maintaining full compatibility with the original part's mechanical and thermal requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SMBJ60AHE3_B/I is the direct equivalent for the obsolete SMBJ60AHE3_A/I. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: the original part is obsolete while the substitute remains in active production.

For new designs or ongoing procurement, the SMBJ60AHE3_B/I is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory and quality standards are met. The substitute is available in Tape & Reel packaging, supporting high-volume manufacturing workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SMBJ60AHE3_B/I be used as a direct replacement for SMBJ60AHE3_A/I?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with matching voltage ratings (60V reverse standoff, 96.8V clamping), current ratings (6.2A peak pulse), power dissipation (600W), and package specifications (DO-214AA, SMB surface mount). The substitute is the manufacturer-recommended equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The difference is indicated by the suffix letter (A/I versus B/I) and product status. The SMBJ60AHE3_A/I is obsolete, while SMBJ60AHE3_B/I is active production. All electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Are there any packaging differences?

A: The main part does not specify packaging detail, while the substitute is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both use the DO-214AA (SMB) package for surface mount assembly. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated manufacturing processes.

Q: Do both parts meet automotive standards?

A: Yes. Both SMBJ60AHE3_A/I and SMBJ60AHE3_B/I are automotive-grade components with AEC-Q101 qualification, suitable for automotive applications requiring transient overvoltage protection.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.
