Product details
Overview
P6SMB130CAHE3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features a 130 V standoff voltage (VWM), 149 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 179 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 3.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB130CAHE3/5B datasheet, P6SMB130CAHE3/5B pinout, P6SMB130CAHE3/5B application, or P6SMB130CAHE3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.20), MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped transient protector with symmetrical reverse/forward conduction behavior due to its bidirectional construction. Its glass-passivated junction enables fast response time (<1 ns), low incremental surge resistance, and stable clamping under repetitive 0.01% duty cycle pulses.
The P6SMB130CAHE3/5B is rated for -65 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature, exhibits 0.107 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, and delivers 179 V clamping at 3.4 A IPPM while maintaining 1.0 μA max reverse leakage at 111 V (VWM = 111 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 111 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; defines safe operating margin below clamping threshold |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 124–137 V at 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures reliable triggering above normal operating voltage |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 179 V at 3.4 A IPPM - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 μs transient; determines stress on downstream components |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Sustained energy absorption capability under standardized surge waveform; validates robustness against IEC 61000-4-5 surges |
| IPPM (Peak Pulse Current) | 3.4 A - Maximum transient current handled at rated clamping voltage; directly tied to PCB trace sizing and layout derating |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature rating; supports operation in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments |
| MSL Level | Level 1 per J-STD-020 - No floor life limitation; compatible with standard reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, bidirectional configuration with no polarity marking. Dimensions: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm (L × W × H); matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Transient current entry (bidirectional) | One terminal of symmetrical PN junction; conducts during either polarity overvoltage event |
| Cathode | Transient current exit (bidirectional) | Second terminal of symmetrical PN junction; completes clamping path regardless of voltage polarity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing - suitable for engine control, ADAS, and body electronics |
| 600 W peak pulse power | Handles IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV line-to-line) without degradation when mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.20) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during transients - critical for protecting 130 V-rated gate drivers and isolated DC/DC controllers |
| MSL Level 1 | Enables use in standard high-volume SMT lines without dry-pack or baking requirements - reduces manufacturing overhead |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable leakage performance and long-term stability under thermal cycling and humidity exposure |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ130CA | Same VWM (111 V), lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA) | Limited to lower-energy transients; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when board space is constrained and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| SMCJ130CA | Same VWM (111 V), higher PPPM (1500 W), SMC package (larger, higher thermal mass) | Requires larger pad layout; better suited for primary-level AC/DC input protection | Select when surge energy exceeds 600 W or junction temperature rise must be minimized |
Compared with SMAJ130CA and SMCJ130CA, the P6SMB130CAHE3/5B delivers optimal balance of automotive qualification, 600 W surge handling, and SMB footprint - making it ideal for secondary-side protection where AEC-Q101 compliance and moderate energy absorption are both required.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the P6SMB130CAHE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The P6SMB130CAHE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 179 V at 3.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per standard test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The P6SMB130CAHE3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range and is validated per AEC-Q101 stress tests.
Is the P6SMB130CAHE3/5B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the P6SMB130CAHE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, with suffix "HE3" indicating RoHS-compliant and automotive-grade construction. It undergoes rigorous stress testing including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and ESD validation. The P6SMB130CAHE3/5B is routinely deployed in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules where transient immunity and long-term reliability are critical.
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in P6SMB130CAHE3/5B?
The "CA" suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration - meaning the P6SMB130CAHE3/5B provides symmetrical clamping for both positive and negative voltage transients without polarity dependence. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., P6SMB130A), the P6SMB130CAHE3/5B has no cathode band marking and functions identically in either orientation, simplifying layout and eliminating polarity-sensitive placement errors.
What is the thermal resistance of the P6SMB130CAHE3/5B?
The P6SMB130CAHE3/5B has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on standard 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. Its junction-to-lead resistance (RθJL) is 20 °C/W. These values inform thermal design margins - for example, at 5.0 W steady-state dissipation, junction temperature rise would exceed rating, confirming the device is intended for transient-only duty, not continuous power dissipation.
How does the P6SMB130CAHE3/5B differ from the unidirectional P6SMB130AHE3/5B?
The P6SMB130CAHE3/5B is bidirectional with symmetrical clamping behavior, while the P6SMB130AHE3/5B is unidirectional and requires correct anode/cathode orientation. The P6SMB130CAHE3/5B exhibits identical VWM (111 V), VBR (124–137 V), and VC (179 V) ratings but lacks polarity marking and supports AC-coupled or floating signal line protection. Its reverse leakage at VWM is 1.0 μA - same as the unidirectional version - and both share AEC-Q101 qualification and SMB packaging.
