Product details
Overview
6DFN39CA-M3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) in a DFN3820A package, designed for clamping ESD and surge transients on signal/power lines. It features 39 V nominal breakdown voltage (±5 %), 33.3 V stand-off voltage, 53.9 V maximum clamping voltage at 11.1 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs). It protects sensitive ICs and MOSFETs in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 6DFN39CA-M3/I datasheet, 6DFN39CA-M3/I pinout, 6DFN39CA-M3/I application, or 6DFN39CA-M3/I equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected circuit's absolute maximum rating, junction temperature derating above 25 °C, bidirectional symmetry for AC-coupled lines, and compatibility with AOI inspection due to side-wettable flanks.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to achieve low leakage (<1 μA at VWM) and stable bidirectional clamping across -65 °C to +175 °C operating range. Its DFN3820A footprint enables high-density placement while meeting MSL Level 1 and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.
The device delivers 600 W peak pulse power under standardized 10/1000 μs waveform conditions, with thermal resistance junction-to-mount of 5–6.5 °C/W enabling effective heat transfer to PCB copper. It meets IEC 61000-4-2 ±30 kV contact/air discharge immunity without external circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 37.1 / 39.0 / 41.0 V - ensures reliable turn-on before protected IC exceeds absolute max rating |
| VWM | 33.3 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 1 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | 53.9 V - clamping voltage at 11.1 A limits stress on downstream components |
| PPPM | 600 W - handles lightning-induced surges per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 |
| Junction temp. range | -65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial motor control environments |
| ESD immunity | ±30 kV (IEC 61000-4-2) - eliminates need for additional ESD protection on exposed ports |
| Package | DFN3820A (3.95 mm × 2.18 mm × 0.88 mm) - compatible with SMP (DO-220AA) layout and AOI inspection |
Pinout & Package
DFN3820A is a 2-terminal, leadless surface-mount package with side-wettable flanks. No polarity marking; terminals are symmetrical for bidirectional operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal 1 | Anode/Cathode (bidirectional) | Either terminal serves as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity; no fixed polarity |
| Terminal 2 | Anode/Cathode (bidirectional) | Paired with Terminal 1 to form symmetric clamping path; enables AC line protection without orientation constraints |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Side-wettable flanks | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints without X-ray, reducing post-reflow defect escape |
| Low-profile height (0.88 mm) | Supports ultra-thin end equipment such as portable medical sensors and wearables with strict Z-height constraints |
| Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant M3 suffix | Meets IPC-1752A material declaration requirements and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance for long-term reliability |
| Bidirectional clamping symmetry | Eliminates need for dual unidirectional devices on differential or AC-coupled signal paths like RS-485 or CAN FD |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Allows unlimited floor life and reflow at 260 °C peak without baking, simplifying SMT assembly planning |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Interface | Automotive Body Control Module |

Use Value: 600 W rating and 53.9 V clamping enable compliance with GR-1089-CORE Level 3 surge testing without derating or parallel staging. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36A-E3/57T | Unidirectional, SMA package (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm), 36 V VWM, 58.1 V VC @ 10.3 A | Requires orientation-aware layout; larger footprint increases board area and parasitic inductance | Select when unidirectional protection suffices and legacy SMA footprint reuse is prioritized over density or AOI capability |
| SMCJ33A | Unidirectional, SMC package (7.1 mm × 6.2 mm), 33 V VWM, 53.3 V VC @ 11.3 A, higher PPPM = 1500 W | Higher surge capacity but 3× larger footprint; not AOI-compatible; requires manual inspection or X-ray | Choose for high-energy industrial mains-side protection where space and inspection method are secondary to energy handling |
Compared with SMAJ36A-E3/57T and SMCJ33A, the 6DFN39CA-M3/I offers superior board-level integration via its compact DFN3820A footprint, side-wettable flanks for AOI, and true bidirectionality-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability signal-line protection where layout flexibility and automated manufacturing are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 6DFN39CA-M3/I under standard test conditions?
The 6DFN39CA-M3/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 53.9 V at 11.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC and IEC standards and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The 6DFN39CA-M3/I maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Does the 6DFN39CA-M3/I require a specific PCB pad layout for thermal performance?
Yes-the 6DFN39CA-M3/I achieves its specified RθJM of 5–6.5 °C/W only when mounted on a 2 oz. copper FR4 PCB using the recommended DFN3820A mounting pad layout from Vishay document 98490. The thermal pad must be fully exposed and connected to internal ground planes via ≥4 thermal vias to ensure reliable operation at 175 °C junction temperature. Deviations reduce surge current handling.
Is the 6DFN39CA-M3/I suitable for protecting CAN FD bus lines?
Yes-the 6DFN39CA-M3/I is well-suited for CAN FD physical layer protection due to its bidirectional symmetry, 33.3 V stand-off voltage (compatible with 12 V nominal bus), and 53.9 V clamping voltage (below ISO 11898-2's 58 V fault threshold). Its DFN3820A package minimizes parasitic inductance, preserving signal integrity up to 5 Mbps. No polarity orientation is required during placement.
What does the "M3" suffix indicate in 6DFN39CA-M3/I?
"M3" denotes Vishay's halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, lead-free termination with matte tin plating, qualified to JESD201 Class 2 for whisker resistance and compliant with IPC-1752A material declarations. It also signifies industrial-grade qualification (not AEC-Q101), making the 6DFN39CA-M3/I appropriate for commercial and industrial-but not automotive safety-critical-applications.
How does the 6DFN39CA-M3/I perform under elevated ambient temperatures?
The 6DFN39CA-M3/I's peak pulse power is derated linearly above TA = 25 °C per Figure 2 in Vishay document 98490, reaching ~50 % of rated 600 W at 100 °C ambient. Its -65 °C to +175 °C junction range allows sustained operation in hot environments when PCB thermal design meets the specified RθJA (140–175 °C/W) and RθJM targets. Derating curves are validated per JEDEC 51-2A and 51-14.
