Product details
Overview
P6SMB130CAHE3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional 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 (PPPM) with 10/1000 μs waveform. It protects sensitive ICs, MOSFETs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients and lightning surges in industrial and automotive electronics.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB130CAHE3_A/H datasheet, P6SMB130CAHE3_A/H pinout, P6SMB130CAHE3_A/H application, or P6SMB130CAHE3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C maximum junction temperature, low incremental surge resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on standard PCB pads.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, delivering identical clamping performance in forward and reverse directions. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior and fast response time (<1 ns), while the low Rdyn minimizes voltage overshoot during transient events.
The device is rated for repetitive 10/1000 μs pulses at 0.01 % duty cycle and derates linearly above 25 °C ambient per Fig. 2. Thermal resistance is 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient (RθJA) on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads, supporting reliable operation in compact, thermally constrained layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 111 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before clamping begins; defines operating margin below breakdown |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 124–137 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range; ensures predictable turn-on under surge conditions |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 179 V at IPPM = 3.4 A - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 600 W transient; critical for downstream component survivability |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Sustained energy absorption capability with 10/1000 μs waveform; meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 requirements |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; enables use in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial environments |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Thermal resistance to ambient on standard pad layout; informs thermal design margin for sustained surge duty |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per JESD22 standards |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Bidirectional construction has no polarity marking.

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CAN, LIN, or analog sensor inputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) in engine control units against load dump and inductive kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional voltage clamp placed between signal line and chassis ground, responding within <1 ns to transients exceeding 111 V. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or gate oxide damage in downstream op-amps and microcontrollers by limiting voltage to ≤179 V during 600 W surges. |
Use Scenario: Shielding digital input/output channels of programmable logic controllers from relay coil flyback and ESD events in factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting shunt protector mounted directly at connector entry point, diverting surge current away from FPGA or isolator ICs. Use Value: Maintains system uptime by eliminating false triggers and hardware resets caused by 1–4 kV transients per IEC 61000-4-4/5. |
| Telecom Line Interface Protection | Consumer Appliance Motor Control |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding Ethernet PHY or RS-485 transceivers in network equipment exposed to lightning-induced surges on outdoor cabling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-level TVS in series with common-mode chokes, clamping differential and common-mode transients simultaneously.

Use Scenario: Suppressing commutation spikes from brushed DC motors in washing machines, HVAC blowers, and power tools. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected clamp across motor terminals or H-bridge outputs, absorbing inductive energy during PWM switching transitions. Use Value: Extends MOSFET lifespan by reducing VDS stress peaks and preventing avalanche failure during rapid current interruption. |
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) and VC (179 V), but lower PPPM (400 W); SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA) | Less suitable for repeated high-energy surges; limited to lighter-duty consumer or non-automotive industrial use | Select when board space is constrained and surge severity is ≤IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2 |
| SMCJ130CA | Higher PPPM (1500 W), same VWM/VC, larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; RθJA = 35 °C/W | Better thermal performance and surge endurance; requires larger PCB real estate and higher assembly cost | Select when protecting high-power circuits subject to frequent or severe transients (e.g., solar inverters, EV chargers) |
Compared with SMAJ130CA, P6SMB130CAHE3_A/H delivers 50 % higher surge power handling in the same general application class; versus SMCJ130CA, it trades 2.5× peak power capacity for 30 % smaller footprint and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive modules needing certified reliability.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in P6SMB130CAHE3_A/H?
The "CA" suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration, meaning P6SMB130CAHE3_A/H provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities-ideal for protecting AC-coupled signals, differential buses like RS-485, or floating sensor lines where polarity reversal may occur. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., P6SMB130A), it has no cathode band marking and identical electrical characteristics in either direction.
Is P6SMB130CAHE3_A/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, P6SMB130CAHE3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by its HE3 suffix and documentation in Vishay's P6SMB datasheet (Rev. 09-Jan-2024). This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and ESD-validating its use in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems where long-term reliability under harsh conditions is mandatory.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6SMB130CAHE3_A/H under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of P6SMB130CAHE3_A/H is 179 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 3.4 A using the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value represents the highest voltage imposed on the protected circuit during a 600 W transient event and is critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
How does the SMB (DO-214AA) package of P6SMB130CAHE3_A/H compare to SMA or SMC packages?
The SMB (DO-214AA) package of P6SMB130CAHE3_A/H offers a balanced trade-off: smaller than SMC (DO-214AB) but higher power handling than SMA (DO-214AC). At 600 W PPPM, it delivers 50 % more surge capacity than typical SMA devices (e.g., SMAJ130CA at 400 W) while maintaining compatibility with standard SMT pick-and-place equipment and requiring less PCB area than SMC alternatives.
What is the thermal resistance of P6SMB130CAHE3_A/H, and how does it affect layout?
P6SMB130CAHE3_A/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes minimal copper area; increasing pad size or adding thermal vias reduces RθJA. For reliable operation under repetitive surges, PCB layout must provide adequate copper mass to keep TJ ≤150 °C-even during short-term overload events.
