Product details
Overview
P6SMB33AHM3_A/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 33 V standoff voltage (VWM), 37.1–41.0 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 45.7 V maximum clamping voltage at 13.1 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power capability with 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB33AHM3_A/H datasheet, P6SMB33AHM3_A/H pinout, P6SMB33AHM3_A/H application, or P6SMB33AHM3_A/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), junction temperature range (−65 to +150 °C), and halogen-free RoHS compliance per ordering code HM3.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-band polarity marking, optimized for fast transient suppression in DC power rails and low-voltage signal paths. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance (<1.0 μA at VWM) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling reliable response to ESD and inductive switching spikes.
The device meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity and supports reflow soldering up to 260 °C peak. Its 600 W peak pulse rating is specified under derated conditions above TA = 25 °C, with thermal resistance from junction to ambient (100 °C/W) and junction to lead (20 °C/W) defining thermal management constraints.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 28.2 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC operating margin. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 31.4–34.7 V at 1 mA - Voltage at which device enters avalanche conduction; ensures precise overvoltage threshold activation. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 45.7 V at 13.1 A IPPM - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 μs transient; limits stress on downstream components. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Sustained transient energy absorption capability under standard 10/1000 μs waveform; enables robust surge immunity. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; constrains power dissipation and PCB copper pad design. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to ambient air; requires minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal for rated performance. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock testing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads. Cathode identified by band marking on unidirectional devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point in forward bias; connected to lower-potential side of protected line | Provides low forward voltage drop (VF = 3.5 V at 50 A) during surge conduction; must be routed to ground or return path. |
| Cathode | Current exit point in forward bias; marked with band; connected to higher-potential side | Serves as reference node for clamping action; ties to supply rail or signal line requiring protection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Enables single-device protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV/2 Ω) on 24 V systems without cascading devices. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.35) | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during transients, reducing risk of latch-up or gate oxide damage in protected MOSFETs and ICs. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified (HM3 suffix) | Validates suitability for automotive powertrain and body electronics where long-term reliability under thermal cycling is mandatory. |
| MSL Level 1, 260 °C peak reflow | Supports standard lead-free SMT assembly without preconditioning or special handling requirements. |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable reverse leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM) across −65 to +150 °C, critical for low-power sensor interface protection. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |

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-E3/5B | Same VWM (28.2 V), identical SMB package, but lower PPPM (400 W) and higher VC (53.3 V at 7.5 A). | Not rated for AEC-Q101; limited to commercial-grade industrial use where automotive qualification is not required. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and 600 W surge headroom is unnecessary. |
| 1.5SMC33A | Higher package thermal resistance (RθJA = 125 °C/W), larger SMC (DO-214AB) footprint, same VWM/VC specs but lower surge current rating (12.3 A). | Requires larger PCB area and exhibits greater self-heating under repetitive surges; unsuitable for space-constrained automotive modules. | Choose only if existing layout uses SMC footprint and thermal derating can accommodate 25% lower power handling. |
Compared with SMAJ33A-E3/5B and 1.5SMC33A, P6SMB33AHM3_A/H delivers superior automotive qualification, higher surge power margin, and tighter thermal performance in the smallest standardized SMB outline - making it optimal for next-generation compact, high-reliability power interface designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6SMB33AHM3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The P6SMB33AHM3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 45.7 V at 13.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured with the device mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal and represents the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transient events.
Is P6SMB33AHM3_A/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, P6SMB33AHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the HM3 suffix and documentation in Vishay's P6SMB series datasheet (Rev. 09-Jan-2024). This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - validating its use in automotive body control, lighting, and infotainment systems.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in P6SMB33AHM3_A/H?
The "HM3" suffix in P6SMB33AHM3_A/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this variant from commercial-grade E3/M3 versions and confirms compliance with automotive material standards, including JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and MSL Level 1 reflow capability up to 260 °C.
How does the thermal resistance of P6SMB33AHM3_A/H affect PCB layout?
P6SMB33AHM3_A/H has a typical RθJA of 100 °C/W, which assumes mounting on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. To achieve rated 600 W pulse power, PCB layout must provide these minimum pad dimensions and avoid thermal isolation - insufficient copper area increases junction temperature and risks premature failure during repetitive surges.
Can P6SMB33AHM3_A/H replace P6SMB33A-E3 in an existing design?
P6SMB33AHM3_A/H is a direct functional replacement for P6SMB33A-E3 in terms of electrical specs and SMB package, but adds AEC-Q101 qualification and halogen-free materials. No PCB changes are needed, though designers should verify that the enhanced reliability and material compliance meet updated automotive or environmental requirements in the target application.
