Product details
Overview
P6SMB33AHM3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. 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), and clamps transients to ≤45.7 V at 13.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 µs waveform - ideal for protecting MOSFET gates and sensor signal lines in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB33AHM3/H datasheet, P6SMB33AHM3/H pinout, P6SMB33AHM3/H application, or P6SMB33AHM3/H equivalent, this device delivers AEC-Q101-qualified reliability in halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity and 260 °C lead-free reflow compatibility - critical for automotive-grade embedded power rail protection and high-volume automated assembly.
Technical Context
The P6SMB33AHM3/H operates as a unidirectional clamping TVS diode, leveraging a glass-passivated silicon junction to achieve fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its 600 W peak pulse power rating (10/1000 µs) and 150 °C maximum junction temperature support repetitive transient suppression in DC power rails and low-speed data lines.
Designed for surface-mount implementation on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads, it exhibits thermal resistance of RθJA = 100 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W, enabling stable operation without external heatsinking in ambient temperatures up to +85 °C. The cathode band marking confirms polarity for correct orientation during PCB layout and automated placement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage VBR | 31.4–34.7 V at 1.0 mA test current - defines precise clamping onset threshold for overvoltage events |
| Stand-off Voltage VWM | 28.2 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA |
| Clamping Voltage VC | ≤45.7 V at 13.1 A IPPM - ensures protected circuitry sees no more than 45.7 V during worst-case surge |
| Peak Pulse Power PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 µs waveform) - sustains high-energy transients common in inductive switching and ESD events |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - low-profile, JEDEC-standard surface-mount package compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes (HM3 suffix) - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock |
| Moisture Sensitivity | MSL Level 1 (per J-STD-020) - supports unlimited floor life and standard 260 °C lead-free reflow without baking |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Cathode indicated by a single band on the body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point in forward conduction mode | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path) during clamping; must be routed with low-inductance trace |
| Cathode | Current exit point in forward conduction mode | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail or sensor input); band-marked end determines PCB orientation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables reliable suppression of high-energy transients from relay coil flyback or lightning-induced surges in industrial controls |
| Glass passivated chip junction | Ensures long-term stability and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) across temperature and humidity stress conditions |
| Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant (HM3) | Meets automotive and industrial environmental compliance requirements without compromising thermal or electrical performance |
| Low profile SMB package | Reduces board space vs. larger DO-15 or SMA packages while maintaining 600 W capability - ideal for dense power modules |
| Fast response time (<1 ns) | Clamps voltage spikes before downstream ICs (e.g., microcontrollers or ADCs) experience latch-up or gate oxide damage |

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 SMB package, 33 V VBR, but rated for 400 W PPPM (vs. 600 W) and not AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited to commercial-grade consumer/industrial use; unsuitable for automotive underhood environments | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and 600 W surge margin |
| 1.5SMC33A | Higher-power SMC package (same VBR), 1500 W PPPM, but 2.5× larger footprint and higher RθJA (70 °C/W) | Used where extreme surge immunity is required and board space allows larger package | Choose only if system-level testing confirms need for >600 W clamping capacity and thermal budget permits SMC footprint |
Compared with SMAJ33A-E3/5B and 1.5SMC33A, the P6SMB33AHM3/H uniquely balances 600 W surge capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, SMB footprint, and halogen-free compliance - making it optimal for space-constrained, automotive-qualified, and high-reliability industrial designs requiring verified long-term stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P6SMB33AHM3/H under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The P6SMB33AHM3/H clamps to a maximum of 45.7 V at its rated peak pulse current of 13.1 A under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and reflects worst-case behavior measured per JEDEC standards - critical for verifying voltage margins of downstream ICs like microcontrollers or gate drivers in the protected circuit.
Is the P6SMB33AHM3/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the P6SMB33AHM3/H is AEC-Q101 qualified (denoted by the HM3 suffix), meaning it has passed rigorous stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and mechanical shock - specifically validated for use in automotive body electronics, infotainment power rails, and sensor interfaces where reliability under vibration and thermal extremes is mandatory.
What does the "H" in P6SMB33AHM3/H indicate in the ordering code?
The "H" suffix in P6SMB33AHM3/H specifies the packaging format: 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel containing 750 units. This is the standard delivery mode for high-volume SMT production and ensures compatibility with most automated pick-and-place equipment used in contract manufacturing and OEM assembly lines.
How does the P6SMB33AHM3/H differ from bidirectional variants like P6SMB33CA?
The P6SMB33AHM3/H is unidirectional, with a defined cathode band and asymmetric conduction - it blocks reverse voltage up to 28.2 V and clamps positive transients only. In contrast, P6SMB33CA is bidirectional, offering symmetrical clamping for AC-coupled lines or differential buses, but lacks polarity marking and has different VBR/VWM values (e.g., 37.1–41.0 V min/max). Selection depends strictly on circuit topology and surge polarity requirements.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for the P6SMB33AHM3/H?
The P6SMB33AHM3/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on the recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes no additional heatsinking and defines the maximum power dissipation (5.0 W at TA = 50 °C) before exceeding the 150 °C maximum junction temperature - essential for thermal design validation in enclosed enclosures.
