Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SMBJ85AHM3_A/I is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 85V
  • Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 94.4V
  • Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 137V
  • Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 4.4A
  • Power - Peak Pulse: 600W
  • Unidirectional Channels: 1
  • Package / Case: DO-214AA, SMB
  • Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 150°C (TJ)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SMBJ85AHM3_B/I be used as a direct replacement for SMBJ85AHM3_A/I?

A: Yes. The SMBJ85AHM3_B/I is the manufacturer-recommended substitute with identical electrical specifications, package configuration, and automotive qualification. The primary difference is product status: the A/I variant is obsolete while the B/I variant is active.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging between these parts?

A: Both parts use the DO-214AA (SMB) surface mount package. The SMBJ85AHM3_A/I is supplied in standard packaging, while the SMBJ85AHM3_B/I is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format for automated assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet automotive qualification requirements?

A: Yes. Both the SMBJ85AHM3_A/I and SMBJ85AHM3_B/I are automotive-grade components with AEC-Q101 qualification, suitable for telecom applications requiring transient voltage suppression.

Q: What are the critical electrical parameters for substitution?

A: Substitution is based on matching the 85V reverse standoff voltage, 137V maximum clamping voltage, 4.4A peak pulse current, and 600W peak pulse power rating. Both parts maintain these specifications identically.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. No regulatory differences exist between the two variants.
