Product details
Overview
P6SMB33AHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 33 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 31.4–34.7 V at IT = 1.0 mA), 28.2 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 45.7 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 13.1 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB33AHE3_B/H datasheet, P6SMB33AHE3_B/H pinout, P6SMB33AHE3_B/H application, or P6SMB33AHE3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification (indicated by HE3_B suffix), low incremental surge resistance, fast response time, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device that enters avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and low leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM), while the SMB package supports high thermal dissipation (RθJA = 100 °C/W) and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020.
The device is rated for repetitive 10/1000 μs surges at 0.01% duty cycle and handles non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine forward surge up to 100 A (IFSM). Junction temperature range spans –65 °C to +150 °C, and it complies with RoHS and halogen-free requirements per Vishay's HE3 material categorization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 31.4 V / 34.7 V at IT = 1.0 mA - defines precise avalanche onset window for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 28.2 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage rises above 1.0 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | 45.7 V at 13.1 A - clamped voltage during 600 W transient, limiting stress on downstream components |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 μs waveform, enabling robust ESD and lightning surge immunity |
| IFSM | 100 A - single half-sine surge rating (8.3 ms), supporting high-energy inductive switching events |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - extended junction temperature capability for under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial use |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ33A-E3/5T | Same SMB package, 33 V VBR, but rated for 400 W PPPM; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lower surge capacity; suitable only for commercial-grade consumer or office equipment | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive or industrial surge margin requirements |
| 1.5SMC33A | Higher-power SMC package (1500 W), same VBR range, but larger footprint and higher RθJA (60 °C/W) | Requires PCB area increase; better for high-repetition surge environments (e.g., motor drives) | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W or when thermal management allows larger package |
Compared with SMAJ33A-E3/5T and 1.5SMC33A, the P6SMB33AHE3_B/H delivers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 reliability, compact SMB footprint, and verified 600 W surge handling - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained automotive and industrial designs where qualification and consistency are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance of P6SMB33AHE3_B/H?
The P6SMB33AHE3_B/H has a breakdown voltage VBR specified from 31.4 V to 34.7 V at test current IT = 1.0 mA, representing a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 33 V rating. This tight tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and enables predictable system-level overvoltage protection design without margin over-engineering.
Is P6SMB33AHE3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, P6SMB33AHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified (denoted by the HE3_B suffix) and tested for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and ESD. It is explicitly intended for under-hood and body electronics such as engine control modules, ADAS camera power supplies, and gateway ECUs where sustained operation from –40 °C to +125 °C ambient is required.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6SMB33AHE3_B/H under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage VC of P6SMB33AHE3_B/H is 45.7 V at peak pulse current IPPM = 13.1 A, measured with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transient events and is critical for ensuring downstream components like 3.3 V or 5 V LDOs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Does P6SMB33AHE3_B/H have a bidirectional variant?
No, P6SMB33AHE3_B/H is strictly unidirectional, as indicated by the "A" suffix and cathode band marking. For bidirectional operation, Vishay offers the P6SMB33CAHE3_B/H variant (with "CA" suffix), which provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities and is used in AC-coupled or floating signal line protection where polarity reversal may occur.
What is the thermal resistance of P6SMB33AHE3_B/H in standard mounting conditions?
The typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance RθJA of P6SMB33AHE3_B/H is 100 °C/W when mounted on minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes no additional heatsinking and is used to calculate junction temperature rise under steady-state power dissipation (PD = 5.0 W) or transient thermal limits during surge events.
