Overview
P6SMB350AHE3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for high-voltage surge protection in power rails and signal lines. It features a 350 V standoff voltage (VWM), 368 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 482 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 1.24 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed in industrial motor drives and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB350AHE3_A/H datasheet, P6SMB350AHE3_A/H pinout, P6SMB350AHE3_A/H application, or P6SMB350AHE3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 1.24 A transient, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and SMB (DO-214AA) package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamp, conducting only during reverse overvoltage events while blocking forward current up to its rated VWM of 300 V. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior and low leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM).
The device delivers 600 W peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 μs waveform with derating above 25 °C, and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (peak reflow temperature 260 °C). It is RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive-grade reliability.

Use Value: 300 V VWM avoids false triggering during normal 24 V supply variation, while 482 V VC prevents op-amp saturation during ±2 kV ESD events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ350A-E3/52 | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs but lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA) | Limited to lower-energy surges; unsuitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 | Select only when space-constrained and surge threat level is ≤400 W |
| 1.5SMC350A | Same electrical ratings, but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package with lower RθJA (75 °C/W) and higher IFSM (200 A) | Better thermal performance and surge margin; requires larger PCB area | Prefer for high-reliability industrial power supplies where layout allows SMC footprint |
Compared with P6SMB350AHE3_A/H, SMAJ350A-E3/52 trades peak power and thermal robustness for compact size, while 1.5SMC350A offers superior thermal dissipation and surge endurance at the cost of board space - making P6SMB350AHE3_A/H the optimal balance of AEC-Q101 compliance, 600 W capability, and SMB manufacturability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6SMB350AHE3_A/H under rated surge conditions?
The P6SMB350AHE3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 482 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 1.24 A using the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and ensures downstream components see no more than 482 V during transient events - a critical parameter for protecting 600 V-class power devices. The P6SMB350AHE3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is P6SMB350AHE3_A/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, P6SMB350AHE3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HE3" suffix and documented in Vishay's official datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024. It undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and surge endurance required for automotive power electronics. The P6SMB350AHE3_A/H is approved for use in body control modules, infotainment power rails, and ADAS sensor supply lines where transient immunity and long-term reliability are essential.
What does the "_A/H" suffix in P6SMB350AHE3_A/H signify?
The "_A/H" suffix in P6SMB350AHE3_A/H denotes packaging and revision coding: "A" indicates the device revision level per Vishay's internal documentation, and "H" specifies the delivery format - 7-inch plastic tape and reel with 750 units per reel. This matches Vishay's ordering convention shown in the "Ordering Information" section of document 88370. The P6SMB350AHE3_A/H is RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified, consistent with all HE3-suffixed variants.
How does the thermal resistance of P6SMB350AHE3_A/H affect PCB layout?
P6SMB350AHE3_A/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W, which means PCB copper pad area directly impacts safe power dissipation. Vishay specifies mounting on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal to achieve this rating. Reducing pad size increases RθJA, risking thermal runaway during repetitive surges. For reliable operation, the P6SMB350AHE3_A/H must be placed with full thermal pads and avoid nearby heat sources - especially critical in enclosed industrial enclosures.
Can P6SMB350AHE3_A/H be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No, P6SMB350AHE3_A/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, as confirmed by its part number suffix "A" (not "CA") and datasheet designation. It conducts only during reverse-biased overvoltage events and blocks forward current up to its VWM of 300 V. For bidirectional protection - such as AC line or data-line surge suppression - a CA-suffixed variant like P6SMB350CAHE3_A/H would be required. Using P6SMB350AHE3_A/H in bidirectional applications risks failure during positive half-cycle transients.
