Product details
Overview
6DFN33A-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount TRANSZORB® transient voltage suppressor in DFN3820A package, with 33 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR = 31.4–34.7 V), 28.2 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 45.7 V max clamping voltage at 13.1 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It protects MOSFETs and sensor signal lines in industrial motor drives against lightning-induced transients.
For engineers reviewing the 6DFN33A-M3/H datasheet, 6DFN33A-M3/H pinout, 6DFN33A-M3/H application, or 6DFN33A-M3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, side-wettable flanks for AOI, 175 °C max junction temperature, and compatibility with SMP (DO-220AA) footprint.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for low-clamp, high-energy surge suppression. Its unidirectional configuration provides precise reverse-biased protection for DC-biased signal or power rails, with thermal resistance RθJM of 5 °C/W enabling efficient heat transfer to the PCB mount pad.
The device meets IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity up to ±30 kV (contact/air), operates across -65 °C to +175 °C, and features halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated terminals qualified per JESD 201 Class 2 whisker test.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ33A-E3/57T | DO-214AC package; higher RθJA (150 °C/W); 33 V VBR, 53.3 V VC @ 11.8 A | Larger footprint; less suitable for AOI; lower power density | Choose when legacy through-hole or larger SMT layout exists and thermal budget allows higher junction rise |
| SMCJ33A | DO-214AB package; 600 W rating; 33 V VBR, 53.3 V VC @ 11.8 A; no side-wettable flanks | Requires X-ray for solder inspection; incompatible with fine-pitch AOI systems | Select for cost-sensitive industrial applications where board area and automated inspection are secondary to surge margin |
Compared with SMAJ33A-E3/57T and SMCJ33A, the 6DFN33A-M3/H delivers identical 33 V clamping performance in a 3.95 mm × 2.18 mm footprint with side-wettable flanks for full AOI coverage, 0.88 mm profile for thin assemblies, and superior thermal coupling (RθJM = 5 °C/W) for high-reliability deployments.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for 6DFN33A-M3/H?
The 6DFN33A-M3/H has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 31.4 V (min) to 34.7 V (max) at 1.0 mA test current, with a nominal value of 33.0 V. This tolerance (±5 %) ensures predictable turn-on behavior across temperature and production lots, critical for protecting 28 V-rated circuits without premature conduction.
Does 6DFN33A-M3/H support automatic optical inspection (AOI)?
Yes, the 6DFN33A-M3/H features side-wettable flanks in its DFN3820A package, enabling full solder-joint inspection using standard AOI systems without requiring X-ray. This design eliminates manual visual checks and improves first-pass yield in high-volume SMT lines.
Is 6DFN33A-M3/H qualified to AEC-Q101?
No, the 6DFN33A-M3/H carries the /H suffix only in the ordering example table-not in its actual part number. The documented 6DFN33A-M3/H is industry-grade (M3 = halogen-free/RoHS/Pb-free), not AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive qualification, refer to Vishay's AEC-Q101-certified variants such as 6DFN33A-M3-AT.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to mount (RθJM) for 6DFN33A-M3/H?
The 6DFN33A-M3/H has a typical junction-to-mount thermal resistance (RθJM) of 5 °C/W, measured per JEDEC® 51-14 using TDIM. This low value confirms efficient heat transfer from the die directly into the PCB copper mount pad, supporting sustained surge duty cycles in thermally constrained layouts.
Can 6DFN33A-M3/H replace DO-220AA (SMP) footprint devices?
Yes, the 6DFN33A-M3/H is explicitly stated as compatible with the SMP (DO-220AA) package case outline. Its 3.95 mm × 2.18 mm body and 2-terminal configuration allow direct layout reuse-no PCB redesign needed-while delivering improved thermal performance and AOI capability over legacy SMP devices.
