The recommended land pattern for the SMB10J30A-E3/52 can be found in the Vishay Intertechnologies' application note AN483, which provides guidelines for surface mount assembly of SMB devices.
To prevent damage, handle the SMB10J30A-E3/52 by the body only, avoiding touching the glass passivated junction. Use anti-static wrist straps, mats, or other ESD protection devices to prevent electrostatic discharge damage.
The maximum soldering temperature for the SMB10J30A-E3/52 is 260°C (500°F) for 10 seconds. Exceeding this temperature or time may cause damage to the component.
The SMB10J30A-E3/52 is a commercial-grade component and may not meet the requirements for high-reliability or aerospace applications. For such applications, consider using components with higher reliability ratings, such as those with a 'Q' or 'M' suffix.
The SMB10J30A-E3/52 has a cathode (negative leg) marked with a band. Ensure that the cathode is connected to the correct polarity in the circuit to prevent damage or incorrect operation.
