Product details
Overview
P6SMB130AHM3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, rated for 130 V standoff voltage (VWM), 179 V clamping voltage (VC) at 3.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs waveform). It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients and lightning surges in industrial power supplies and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB130AHM3/H datasheet, P6SMB130AHM3/H pinout, P6SMB130AHM3/H application, or P6SMB130AHM3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected device's absolute maximum rating, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free RoHS compliance, and unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal bias it presents high impedance (<1 μA leakage at 111 V), but triggers avalanche breakdown when transient voltage exceeds its 124–137 V breakdown range (VBR at 1 mA), rapidly clamping the line to ≤179 V. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable, repeatable breakdown behavior across temperature.
Designed for automated SMT assembly, it meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (peak reflow 260 °C) and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The HM3 suffix confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification-critical for automotive under-hood applications requiring long-term reliability at TJ up to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 111 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; defines upper limit of normal circuit operation. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 124–137 V at 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage with margin. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 179 V at IPPM = 3.4 A - Peak voltage seen by protected device during 10/1000 μs surge; must stay below downstream IC's absolute max rating. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Sustained energy absorption capability for standardized 10/1000 μs waveform; validates robustness against IEC 61000-4-5 surges. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads; determines safe power derating above 25 °C ambient. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables use in under-hood automotive environments and high-temperature industrial enclosures. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per AEC specification. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile plastic case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002. Cathode identified by black band at one end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal during forward conduction | Connected to lower-potential side of protected line; not used in normal reverse-biased TVS operation. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal during reverse avalanche clamping | Connected to higher-potential side (e.g., supply rail); band-marked end carries surge current to ground path during transient. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Validates immunity to severe transients per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV surge), enabling single-device protection without cascaded stages. |
| Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant HM3 construction | Meets automotive OEM environmental requirements and eliminates corrosive halogen emissions during board rework or end-of-life incineration. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Confirms suitability for automotive powertrain, body control, and ADAS modules where field failure risk must be minimized over 15+ year lifetimes. |
| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Allows unlimited floor life and direct placement into standard SMT reflow ovens without baking-reducing manufacturing cost and handling risk. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Ensures minimal voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients (<1 ns rise time), critical for protecting high-speed digital interfaces and precision analog sensors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ130A-E3/5B | Same VWM (111 V), VC = 179 V, but rated for 400 W PPPM and non-AEC-Q101; SMB package identical. | Commercial-grade only; lacks automotive qualification and halogen-free certification. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance requirements and surge stress is limited to IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2. |
| 1.5SMC130AHE3_A/H | Higher power (1500 W PPPM), same VWM/VC, but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; AEC-Q101 qualified and halogen-free. | Requires PCB layout change due to 2.54 mm lead pitch vs. SMB's 2.29 mm; better for high-energy surges. | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W or when thermal budget demands lower RθJA (50 °C/W). |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of P6SMB130AHM3/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The P6SMB130AHM3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 179 V when subjected to its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 3.4 A using the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured under controlled test conditions per JEDEC standards and represents the highest voltage the device allows across its terminals during surge events, ensuring downstream components remain within safe operating limits.
Is P6SMB130AHM3/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, P6SMB130AHM3/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HM3" and documentation revision 09-Jan-2024. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD, making P6SMB130AHM3/H suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive modules where long-term reliability is mandatory.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in P6SMB130AHM3/H?
The "HM3" suffix in P6SMB130AHM3/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this variant from commercial-grade versions (e.g., "E3" or "M3") and confirms compliance with automotive environmental and reliability standards, including JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and MSL Level 1 reflow capability.
How does the thermal resistance of P6SMB130AHM3/H affect its power derating?
P6SMB130AHM3/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads. This means its safe continuous power dissipation drops linearly above 25 °C ambient-e.g., at 75 °C ambient, PD derates to ~2.5 W. Engineers must apply this derating curve when designing for sustained surge repetition or high-temperature enclosures.
Can P6SMB130AHM3/H replace bidirectional TVS diodes in circuit designs?
No, P6SMB130AHM3/H is unidirectional and must not replace bidirectional TVS diodes without circuit redesign. Its cathode band marks the anode-cathode polarity; applying reverse voltage beyond VWM will cause conduction, unlike bidirectional types that clamp symmetrically. Substitution requires verifying signal polarity, grounding scheme, and transient directionality-otherwise, unintended conduction or protection failure may occur.
