Product details
Overview
P6SMB30AHM3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, rated for 30 V standoff voltage (VWM), 31.5 V maximum breakdown voltage (VBR), and 41.4 V clamping voltage (VC) at 14.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM). It delivers 600 W peak pulse power with 10/1000 µs waveform and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive electronics protection.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB30AHM3_B/H datasheet, P6SMB30AHM3_B/H pinout, P6SMB30AHM3_B/H application, or P6SMB30AHM3_B/H equivalent, this device is selected for robust overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines in harsh environments where fast response (<1 ns), low clamping ratio (1.38), and high surge reliability are required.
Technical Context
The P6SMB30AHM3_B/H operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, conducting only in reverse bias above its breakdown threshold to shunt transient energy to ground. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and low leakage (<1 µA at 25.6 V).
Designed for automated SMT assembly, it features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, MSL Level 1 rating (260 °C peak reflow), and halogen-free RoHS-compliant molding compound per Vishay HM3 specification.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off) | 25.6 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant conduction begins |
| VBR (Breakdown) | 28.5–31.5 V at 1.0 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range ensuring predictable triggering |
| VC (Clamping) | 41.4 V at 14.5 A - Limits downstream circuit voltage during 10/1000 µs transients to safe levels |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak surge power handling capability under standardized lightning/surge test waveform |
| IPPM | 14.5 A - Maximum non-repetitive surge current supported without degradation |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature enabling operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Thermal resistance defining power derating above 25 °C ambient |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, single-ended unidirectional configuration with cathode band marking. Dimensions: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm (L × W × H); recommended pad layout: 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper per terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current path / Ground reference | Connected to system ground or low-side return; defines conduction direction during clamping |
| Cathode | Transient voltage input / Protected line connection | Connected to line being protected (e.g., 24 V rail); reverse-biased during normal operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant (HM3) | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 requirements for green manufacturing |
| 600 W peak pulse power | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/3a and IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surges without failure |
| Fast response time (<1 ns) | Clamps transients before sensitive downstream ICs (e.g., CAN transceivers, microcontrollers) experience overstress |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR = 1.38) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during clamping, reducing stress on protected components |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 24 V battery-supplied ECUs exposed to load dump (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between power input and ground to clamp transients before DC/DC converters and MCU power supplies. Use Value: Clamps 41.4 V at 14.5 A, limiting rail excursion below 45 V and preventing brownout or latch-up in 3.3 V/5 V logic domains. |
Use Scenario: Analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) routed across noisy motor control zones in factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS mounted at connector entry point to absorb ESD (IEC 61000-4-2 ±8 kV contact) and inductive kickback from nearby solenoids. Use Value: Sub-1 ns response ensures protection before op-amp input stages saturate; low leakage (<1 µA) avoids signal offset errors in µA-level sensor circuits. |
| Telecom DC Power Input Protection | Consumer Appliance Motor Drive Protection |
Use Scenario: 48 V PoE-powered network switches subjected to lightning-induced surges on Ethernet ports and auxiliary power inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary TVS on secondary-side 48 V input rail, upstream of hot-swap controllers and PMICs. Use Value: 600 W rating handles multiple repetitive surges per IEC 61000-4-5; VWM = 25.6 V allows margin above nominal 48 V/2 ratio while avoiding false triggering. |
Use Scenario: Brushed DC motor control boards in washing machines, where commutation spikes exceed 100 V on 24 V supply lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed across motor terminals and/or power rail to suppress flyback energy during MOSFET turn-off. Use Value: 100 A IFSM rating supports high-current surge events; SMB footprint enables compact placement near motor driver ICs without thermal crowding. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ30A-E3/5B | Same VWM/VBR/VC, but commercial-grade (not AEC-Q101); SMA package (smaller, lower IPPM = 12.3 A) | Limited to non-automotive industrial or consumer use; less robust thermal performance (RθJA = 125 °C/W) | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and surge margin requirements |
| 1.5SMC33A | Higher VWM (28.2 V), same VC (45.7 V), larger SMC package; 1500 W rating but higher VC/VBR ratio (1.62) | Better suited for higher-energy surges but increases protected circuit voltage stress during clamping | Choose for legacy designs requiring higher peak power with acceptable clamping overhead |
Compared with SMAJ30A-E3/5B and 1.5SMC33A, the P6SMB30AHM3_B/H uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, SMB footprint constraints, and optimal clamping efficiency (VC/VBR = 1.38), making it preferred for space-constrained automotive modules needing validated reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P6SMB30AHM3_B/H under standard test conditions?
The P6SMB30AHM3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 41.4 V at 14.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and reflects the actual voltage seen by protected circuitry during surge events. The P6SMB30AHM3_B/H maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range and is validated for repeatable behavior in automotive-grade applications.
Is the P6SMB30AHM3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the P6SMB30AHM3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and designated with the HM3 suffix, indicating halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and full automotive reliability testing. It meets requirements for under-hood and body-control module deployments, including temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity exposure. The P6SMB30AHM3_B/H is explicitly listed in Vishay's AEC-Q101 qualified product matrix for the P6SMB family.
What does the "_B/H" suffix in P6SMB30AHM3_B/H indicate?
The "_B" denotes AEC-Q101 qualification for the P6SMB30A variant (applicable to VWM ≤ 220 V), and "_H" specifies 7-inch plastic tape-and-reel packaging with 750 units per reel. The "HM3" prefix confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant materials and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity. Thus, P6SMB30AHM3_B/H fully identifies an automotive-grade, halogen-free, surface-mount TVS diode in standard SMT packaging.
How does the P6SMB30AHM3_B/H compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like P6SMB30CA?
The P6SMB30AHM3_B/H is unidirectional and intended for DC line protection with polarity-sensitive placement (cathode to protected line), whereas P6SMB30CA is bidirectional and used in AC or floating signal paths. The P6SMB30AHM3_B/H offers lower leakage (<1 µA at 25.6 V) and tighter VBR tolerance vs. bidirectional variants, but cannot protect symmetric waveforms. Selection depends strictly on circuit topology-not interchangeability.
What is the thermal resistance and power derating behavior of the P6SMB30AHM3_B/H?
The P6SMB30AHM3_B/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads. Its 5.0 W steady-state power dissipation (PD) derates linearly above 25 °C ambient, reaching zero at 150 °C junction temperature. Derating curves are provided in Figure 2 of the Vishay datasheet 88370, and the P6SMB30AHM3_B/H must be applied within these limits to ensure long-term reliability.
