Product details
Overview
P6SMB100CAHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, rated for 100 V standoff voltage (VWM), 137 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 4.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 μs waveform. It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive and industrial power electronics against inductive switching transients and ESD.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB100CAHE3_B/H datasheet, P6SMB100CAHE3_B/H pinout, P6SMB100CAHE3_B/H application, or P6SMB100CAHE3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C max junction temperature, low incremental surge resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped transient protector with symmetrical breakdown behavior in both directions due to its bidirectional construction. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable avalanche characteristics, while the SMB package provides thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead).
Designed for repetitive surge events at 0.01% duty cycle, it delivers consistent clamping performance under 10/1000 μs transients up to 600 W, with leakage current ≤1.0 μA at 85.5 V standoff and temperature coefficient of VBR at 0.106 %/°C.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ100CA | Same SMB package, 100 V VWM, but lower PPPM (600 W same), higher VC (143 V), non-AEC-Q101 | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for commercial/industrial use only | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs qualification needs |
| SMCJ100CA | Larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same 100 V VWM, higher PPPM (1500 W), VC = 165 V, AEC-Q101 available | Higher power handling but 30% larger footprint; requires PCB layout change | Choose for higher surge immunity requirements where board space permits |

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in P6SMB100CAHE3_B/H?
The "CA" suffix in P6SMB100CAHE3_B/H denotes a bidirectional configuration, meaning the device provides symmetrical transient voltage suppression in both polarities. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., P6SMB100A), this part has no cathode marking and clamps equally for positive and negative transients-ideal for protecting AC-coupled or floating signal lines without polarity constraints. This functionality is confirmed in the Vishay P6SMB datasheet section "DEVICES FOR BIDIRECTION APPLICATIONS".
Is P6SMB100CAHE3_B/H qualified for automotive use?
Yes, P6SMB100CAHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as explicitly stated in the Vishay ordering information table and mechanical data section. The "HE3" base suffix combined with "_B" revision code indicates RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101-qualified construction. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD, making P6SMB100CAHE3_B/H suitable for automotive body control, infotainment, and ADAS subsystems.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6SMB100CAHE3_B/H and under what test condition?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of P6SMB100CAHE3_B/H is 137 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 4.4 A using a 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform. This value is specified in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table for part number P6SMB100A (bidirectional variant), and applies identically to P6SMB100CAHE3_B/H per Vishay's family documentation. It represents the upper limit of voltage imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events.
How does the SMB package of P6SMB100CAHE3_B/H affect thermal performance?
The SMB (DO-214AA) package of P6SMB100CAHE3_B/H provides a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W and junction-to-lead resistance (RθJL) of 20 °C/W, as specified in the "THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS" table. When mounted on minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, it sustains 5.0 W steady-state power dissipation at TA = 50 °C. This enables reliable operation in compact, thermally dense layouts typical of automotive ECUs and industrial modules.
Can P6SMB100CAHE3_B/H replace unidirectional P6SMB100A in existing designs?
No-P6SMB100CAHE3_B/H cannot directly replace unidirectional P6SMB100A without circuit review. While both share identical VWM (85.5 V), VBR (95–105 V), and VC (137 V), the bidirectional CA variant lacks polarity marking and conducts in both directions, potentially interfering with DC-biased circuits or rectifier paths. Unidirectional types rely on cathode marking for correct orientation; substituting P6SMB100CAHE3_B/H may cause unintended conduction or failed protection. Always verify signal topology before interchange.
