Product details
Overview
P6SMB350AHM3_C/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, rated for 350 V standoff voltage (VWM), 482 V clamping voltage (VC) at 1.24 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 μs waveform. It protects power rails and signal lines in industrial motor drives, telecom power supplies, and automotive ECUs against ESD and inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB350AHM3_C/H datasheet, P6SMB350AHM3_C/H pinout, P6SMB350AHM3_C/H application, or P6SMB350AHM3_C/H equivalent, this device is selected for high-voltage transient suppression where low leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM), AEC-Q101 qualification (HM3 suffix), halogen-free RoHS compliance, and stable clamping under repetitive surges are required.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with cathode-band polarity marking, designed to clamp reverse transients above its breakdown voltage (VBR = 333–368 V) while maintaining <1.0 μA reverse leakage at 300 V standoff. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable parametric performance across temperature (−65 °C to +150 °C).
Thermal design relies on low RθJA (100 °C/W) and RθJL (20 °C/W), enabling reliable operation on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads without heatsinking. The HM3 suffix confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and AEC-Q101 qualification per JESD22-B102 whisker testing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 300 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 333–368 V at 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range ensuring predictable turn-on margin |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 482 V at IPPM = 1.24 A - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 μs surge |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Sustained transient energy absorption capability per JEDEC-standard waveform |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | <1.0 μA at 300 V - Minimal standby power loss and signal integrity impact in high-impedance circuits |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables use in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ350AHE3_A/H | Same VWM/VBR/VC ratings; E3 suffix indicates commercial-grade RoHS (non-halogen-free, non-AEC-Q101) | Lacks automotive qualification and halogen-free certification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs only | Select when AEC-Q101 and halogen-free requirements are not mandated |
| P6SMB350A-M3/52 | Identical electrical specs; M3 suffix denotes halogen-free RoHS but no AEC-Q101 qualification | Meets environmental standards but not automotive reliability testing; lower cost than HM3 variants | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial applications requiring halogen-free compliance without automotive validation |
Compared with P6SMB350AHM3_C/H, SMBJ350AHE3_A/H offers identical clamping performance but lacks AEC-Q101 and halogen-free status, while P6SMB350A-M3/52 provides halogen-free compliance without automotive qualification-making P6SMB350AHM3_C/H the sole option meeting all three criteria simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the P6SMB350AHM3_C/H under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The P6SMB350AHM3_C/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 482 V at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 1.24 A with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC-standard test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The P6SMB350AHM3_C/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the P6SMB350AHM3_C/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the P6SMB350AHM3_C/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the HM3 suffix in its part number. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and mechanical shock, making the P6SMB350AHM3_C/H suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics where reliability under extreme conditions is mandatory.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in P6SMB350AHM3_C/H?
The "HM3" suffix in P6SMB350AHM3_C/H specifies halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction combined with AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this variant from E3 (RoHS only) and M3 (halogen-free RoHS, non-automotive) versions. The "_C/H" denotes packaging in 7" tape-and-reel format with 750 units per reel, per Vishay's ordering nomenclature.
How does the P6SMB350AHM3_C/H compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in the same series?
The P6SMB350AHM3_C/H is unidirectional and intended for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed; it offers higher VWM (300 V) and VBR (333–368 V) than bidirectional variants at equivalent voltage grades. Bidirectional types like P6SMB350CA lack cathode marking and conduct in both directions, making them unsuitable for DC applications requiring polarity-aware clamping. The P6SMB350AHM3_C/H provides superior standoff stability in polarized circuits.
What is the thermal resistance of the P6SMB350AHM3_C/H, and how does it affect layout?
The P6SMB350AHM3_C/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W and junction-to-lead resistance (RθJL) of 20 °C/W. These values assume mounting on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal. To maintain safe junction temperatures under repetitive surges, PCB layout must adhere to Vishay's recommended pad dimensions and avoid excessive trace impedance-critical for sustaining the P6SMB350AHM3_C/H's 600 W pulse rating.
