Product details
Overview
P6SMB200CA-E3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMB (DO-214AA) package, rated for 600 W peak pulse power with 10/1000 μs waveform, 200 V standoff voltage (VWM), and 274 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 2.2 A peak pulse current. It protects sensitive ICs, MOSFETs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients and lightning surges in industrial and telecom systems.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB200CA-E3/5B datasheet, P6SMB200CA-E3/5B pinout, P6SMB200CA-E3/5B application, or P6SMB200CA-E3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on standard PCB copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates symmetrically in both directions due to its bidirectional construction, enabling protection of AC-coupled or differential signal paths without polarity constraints. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior and low leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM), while the low incremental surge resistance supports rapid energy dissipation during transient events.
The device is thermally characterized with RθJA = 100 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W, and is rated for continuous operation from −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. It meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and is RoHS-compliant per base suffix E3.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ200CA | Same SMB package, identical VWM (200 V) and VC (274 V), but rated for 600 W with tighter VBR tolerance (±5% vs ±10%) | Preferred where tighter breakdown consistency is required across production lots | Select SMBJ200CA when statistical process control of VBR distribution is critical for high-reliability designs |
| 1.5SMC200CA | Larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same electrical specs but higher thermal mass (RθJA = 60 °C/W vs 100 °C/W) | Better suited for high-ambient-temperature environments (>85 °C) or infrequent high-energy surges | Choose 1.5SMC200CA when board space allows larger footprint and thermal performance outweighs size constraints |
Compared with SMBJ200CA and 1.5SMC200CA, the P6SMB200CA-E3/5B offers optimal balance of compact SMB footprint, RoHS-compliant E3 termination, and proven field reliability in cost-sensitive industrial and telecom applications-without requiring PCB redesign or layout changes.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the P6SMB200CA-E3/5B under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The P6SMB200CA-E3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 274 V at 2.2 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in the Vishay datasheet 88370 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The P6SMB200CA-E3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the P6SMB200CA-E3/5B suitable for automotive applications?
The P6SMB200CA-E3/5B itself is commercial-grade (E3 suffix); however, Vishay offers AEC-Q101 qualified versions under HE3 or HM3 suffixes (e.g., P6SMB200CAHE3_B). The P6SMB200CA-E3/5B is not AEC-Q101 certified, but its thermal and electrical specifications-including 150 °C TJ max and MSL Level 1-support use in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems when validated per customer requirements.
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in P6SMB200CA-E3/5B?
The "CA" suffix in P6SMB200CA-E3/5B denotes a bidirectional configuration, meaning the device provides symmetrical transient voltage suppression in both polarities. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., P6SMB200A), the P6SMB200CA-E3/5B has no cathode band marking and functions identically regardless of orientation on the PCB-ideal for AC signal lines or differential interfaces.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of the P6SMB200CA-E3/5B?
The P6SMB200CA-E3/5B is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life and may be placed directly onto PCBs without baking or dry-pack requirements. This simplifies manufacturing logistics and supports high-throughput SMT assembly, especially in environments where humidity control is challenging.
How does the P6SMB200CA-E3/5B compare to the P6SMB200A variant?
The P6SMB200CA-E3/5B is bidirectional with symmetrical clamping, while the P6SMB200A is unidirectional and features a cathode band marking. Both share identical VWM (200 V), VBR (210–231 V), and VC (274 V), but only the P6SMB200A supports forward conduction and has specified IFSM (100 A). The P6SMB200CA-E3/5B is preferred for AC-coupled or polarity-agnostic protection schemes.
