Product details
Overview
6DFN39CA-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount TRANSZORB® transient voltage suppressor in DFN3820A package, featuring 39 V nominal breakdown voltage (±5 %), 33.3 V stand-off voltage, 53.9 V clamping voltage at 11.1 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs). It protects signal lines and MOSFETs in industrial sensor units against lightning-induced transients.
For engineers reviewing the 6DFN39CA-M3/H datasheet, 6DFN39CA-M3/H pinout, 6DFN39CA-M3/H application, or 6DFN39CA-M3/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal resistance values (RθJA = 140–175 °C/W), ESD immunity (30 kV contact/air), and precise DFN3820A mechanical dimensions for layout and AOI validation.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to deliver bidirectional clamping with low leakage (<1 μA at VWM) and stable performance across -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature. Its DFN3820A package enables high-density PCB placement while supporting automated optical inspection via side-wettable flanks.
The device meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak, complies with IEC 61000-4-2 (30 kV ESD), and is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and qualified to JESD 201 Class 2 whisker test - all confirmed for the M3/H suffix variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 37.1 / 39.0 / 41.0 V - ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage with ±5 % tolerance |
| VWM | 33.3 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | 53.9 V at 11.1 A - clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during 10/1000 μs surge events |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling capability under standardized 10/1000 μs waveform |
| TJ max | +175 °C - extended thermal range supports operation in harsh industrial environments |
| RθJA | 140–175 °C/W - defines thermal derating behavior on standard FR4 PCB with 2 oz copper |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36A-E3/57T | DO-214AC package; unidirectional; 36 V VWM; 58.1 V VC @ 10.3 A; RθJA ≈ 50 °C/W | Requires polarity-aware layout; higher clamping voltage; lower thermal resistance but larger footprint | Select when board space allows larger package and unidirectional protection suffices with tighter VWM margin |
| SMCJ33CA | DO-214AB package; bidirectional; 33 V VWM; 53.3 V VC @ 11.3 A; PPPM = 1500 W; RθJA ≈ 15 °C/W | Higher power rating but 7.1 mm × 6.2 mm footprint - 5× larger area than DFN3820A | Choose for higher-energy surge environments where PCB real estate is not constrained and thermal mass improves reliability |
Compared with SMAJ36A-E3/57T and SMCJ33CA, the 6DFN39CA-M3/H delivers identical clamping performance in a 3.95 mm × 2.18 mm footprint with AOI-ready terminations and AEC-Q101 qualification - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability, and automated manufacturing scenarios.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage tolerance for 6DFN39CA-M3/H?
The 6DFN39CA-M3/H has a nominal breakdown voltage of 39 V with a ±5 % tolerance, meaning VBR is guaranteed between 37.1 V and 41.0 V at 1 mA test current. This tolerance is explicitly defined in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of Vishay document 98490 and applies to all units bearing the CA suffix.
Is 6DFN39CA-M3/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the "H" suffix in 6DFN39CA-M3/H indicates AEC-Q101 qualification. Vishay confirms this variant meets stress test requirements including HTOL, TCT, and ESD per AEC-Q101 Rev G, and is rated for operation from -65 °C to +175 °C - validated for under-hood and body-control module use.
Does 6DFN39CA-M3/H require a heatsink for 600 W pulse handling?
No external heatsink is required for single-pulse 600 W events, as the 6DFN39CA-M3/H relies on its low thermal resistance to mount (RθJM = 5–6.5 °C/W) and PCB copper area for transient heat dissipation. Continuous power must remain below ~0.5 W due to RθJA = 140–175 °C/W - consistent with TVS duty-cycle limitations.
What does the "M3" suffix mean in 6DFN39CA-M3/H?
The "M3" suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated terminations that meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements. This ensures compatibility with lead-free reflow and long-term interconnect reliability in industrial and medical systems.
Can 6DFN39CA-M3/H be used in place of SMAJ36A on the same PCB?
No - 6DFN39CA-M3/H uses DFN3820A (3.95 mm × 2.18 mm), while SMAJ36A uses DO-214AC (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm) with different pad layout and polarity marking. The 6DFN39CA-M3/H is bidirectional; SMAJ36A is unidirectional. Direct substitution requires schematic and layout revision.
