Product details
Overview
MSMP6.0AHM3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount TRANSZORB® transient voltage suppressor in MicroSMP (DO-219AD) package, with 6.0 V stand-off voltage, 6.67–7.37 V breakdown voltage at 10 mA, 150 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive electronics protection.
For engineers reviewing the MSMP6.0AHM3/H datasheet, MSMP6.0AHM3/H pinout, MSMP6.0AHM3/H application, or MSMP6.0AHM3/H equivalent, this device serves as a low-profile, high-reliability TVS for clamping ESD and inductive switching transients on signal lines and power rails in space-constrained automotive and industrial sensor modules.
Technical Context
The MSMP6.0AHM3/H employs an oxide planar chip junction and unidirectional polarity to deliver precise clamping behavior with 10.3 V maximum clamping voltage at 14.6 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs). Its thermal resistance is 30 °C/W junction-to-mount when soldered to 6.0 mm × 6.0 mm copper pads.
It meets IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity (15 kV air / 8 kV contact), operates from −55 °C to +150 °C, and is qualified per AEC-Q101 for automotive under-hood and ADAS sensor applications requiring robust transient suppression without derating at elevated ambient temperatures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VWM) | 6.0 V - Maximum reverse working voltage before conduction begins; defines safe operating margin below breakdown. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 6.67–7.37 V at 10 mA - Tight tolerance ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events. |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPPM) | 150 W (10/1000 μs) - Sustains high-energy transients common in automotive load-dump and inductive switch-off scenarios. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 10.3 V at 14.6 A - Limits voltage seen by protected IC/MOSFET to safe levels during surge. |
| ESD Rating | 15 kV air / 8 kV contact - Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 for system-level ESD robustness. |
| Operating Temperature | −55 °C to +150 °C - Supports under-hood automotive placement and industrial environments. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - Validated for automotive reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD stress. |
Pinout & Package
Package: MicroSMP (DO-219AD), ultra-low profile (0.65 mm typical height), halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated terminals, cathode indicated by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Oxide planar chip junction | Ensures stable, repeatable breakdown characteristics over lifetime and temperature, critical for long-term field reliability. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles without moisture sensitivity concerns or baking requirements. |
Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial I/O Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CAN/LIN bus transceivers and analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) from load-dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses in engine control units. IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between signal line and ground to clamp transients before they reach the IC input stage. Use Value: Clamps to ≤10.3 V at 14.6 A, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in 5 V or 3.3 V interface ICs while maintaining signal integrity. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding PLC analog input channels (4–20 mA, 0–10 V) against field-wiring induced surges and ESD during maintenance. IC Role / Device Role: Primary transient suppressor on front-end signal conditioning circuitry, mounted directly at connector entry point. Use Value: Withstands 150 W (10/1000 μs) surges and 15 kV ESD, reducing need for multi-stage protection and simplifying board layout. |
| Automotive Lighting Control | Consumer Appliance Motor Driver |
Use Scenario: Suppressing inductive kickback from LED driver FETs and relay coils in headlight and interior lighting modules. IC Role / Device Role: Parallel-connected TVS across coil or MOSFET drain-source to absorb stored energy during turn-off. Use Value: Fast response (<1 ns) and low clamping voltage prevent voltage overshoot beyond MOSFET VDS rating, extending FET lifetime. | Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller GPIOs and gate drivers in washing machine/dishwasher motor control boards exposed to ESD during service access. IC Role / Device Role: Localized TVS on MCU I/O pins and half-bridge driver inputs to limit transient coupling. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification and MSL Level 1 ensure compatibility with automated assembly and field durability in humid environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ6.0A | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 2.5 mm height; 400 W PPPM; higher clamping (10.5 V @ 38.8 A) | Higher power handling but larger footprint; less suitable for ultra-thin automotive modules | Select SMAJ6.0A only if surge energy exceeds 150 W or board space allows larger package. |
| 1.5SMC6.0A | DO-214AB (SMC) package; 2.3 mm height; 1500 W PPPM; much higher clamping (10.3 V @ 146 A) | Designed for primary-level board-edge protection; not optimized for IC-level point-of-use clamping | Choose 1.5SMC6.0A for main power rail protection; MSMP6.0AHM3/H remains preferred for signal-line and IC-level protection. |
Compared with SMAJ6.0A and 1.5SMC6.0A, the MSMP6.0AHM3/H delivers identical clamping performance at lower surge current but in a 75% lower profile package-enabling direct integration next to fine-pitch connectors and sensor ICs where height and layout density are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range of the MSMP6.0AHM3/H?
The MSMP6.0AHM3/H has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 6.67 V to 7.37 V measured at 10 mA test current, per Vishay Document 89457. This tight tolerance ensures consistent clamping onset across production lots and supports reliable design margining for 5 V and 3.3 V systems. The MSMP6.0AHM3/H maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range.
Is the MSMP6.0AHM3/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the MSMP6.0AHM3/H is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified and marked with the "HM3" suffix denoting halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and automotive-grade qualification. It meets all required stress tests-including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD-and is approved for use in engine control, ADAS sensors, and lighting modules per Vishay's qualification report referenced in Document 89457.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the MSMP6.0AHM3/H under surge conditions?
The MSMP6.0AHM3/H exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 10.3 V at 14.6 A peak pulse current using the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is derived from the specified dynamic resistance (RD = 0.201 Ω) and maximum VBR (7.37 V), and is validated in Vishay's electrical characteristics table. The MSMP6.0AHM3/H maintains this clamping performance up to TJ = 150 °C.
Does the MSMP6.0AHM3/H require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes-the MSMP6.0AHM3/H achieves its rated 150 W pulse power only when mounted on minimum recommended 6.0 mm × 6.0 mm copper pads per terminal, as defined in Vishay Document 89457. Smaller pads reduce thermal dissipation and cause premature failure. The MSMP6.0AHM3/H also requires short, low-inductance traces to ground to preserve clamping speed and effectiveness.
How does the MicroSMP package of the MSMP6.0AHM3/H compare to SMA or SMC packages?
The MicroSMP (DO-219AD) package of the MSMP6.0AHM3/H measures just 0.65 mm typical height-less than one-third the height of SMA (2.5 mm) or SMC (2.3 mm) packages-while delivering identical 150 W surge capability. This enables placement adjacent to fine-pitch connectors and ICs where vertical clearance is constrained. The MSMP6.0AHM3/H retains full AEC-Q101 qualification despite its reduced size.
