Product details
Overview
P6SMB36AHE3_A/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in the P6SMB series, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 36 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 34.2–37.8 V at IT = 1.0 mA), 30.8 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 49.9 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 12.0 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed in automotive sensor protection and industrial power supply input stages.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB36AHE3_A/I datasheet, P6SMB36AHE3_A/I pinout, P6SMB36AHE3_A/I application, or P6SMB36AHE3_A/I equivalent, this part is selected for robust ESD and surge immunity in AEC-Q101-qualified automotive electronics, where low clamping voltage, fast response time, and SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The P6SMB36AHE3_A/I operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, leveraging glass-passivated junction technology to achieve sub-nanosecond response to transient overvoltage events. Its clamping behavior is defined by a 49.9 V VC at 12.0 A IPPM under 10/1000 μs waveform, with <0.1 % duty cycle repetition, and exhibits 1.0 μA max reverse leakage at VWM = 30.8 V.
Thermally, it supports operation from –65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, with RθJA = 100 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W, and is qualified to AEC-Q101 - confirmed by HE3 suffix and "_A/I" tape-and-reel packaging per JESD22-B102 solderability standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage VBR | 34.2–37.8 V at 1.0 mA test current - defines precise avalanche initiation threshold for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| Stand-off Voltage VWM | 30.8 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 μA |
| Clamping Voltage VC | 49.9 V at 12.0 A peak pulse current - limits downstream circuit voltage during 600 W transient events |
| Peak Pulse Power PPPM | 600 W with 10/1000 μs waveform - sustains high-energy surges without failure under standardized lightning/surge test conditions |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 °C to +150 °C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive and industrial environments with wide thermal cycling |
| AEC-Q101 Qualification | Qualified - validated for automotive reliability including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and mechanical stress per AEC standard |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - 0.220" × 0.130" footprint compatible with IPC-7351B land pattern and reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, cathode-banded unidirectional configuration. Matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD22-B102 whisker resistance (Class 2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes conduction path during reverse transient clamp |
| Cathode | High-side transient input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 36 V supply rail); band-marked end accepts positive surge relative to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Enables single-device protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV) surges on 24–48 V systems without derating |
| AEC-Q101 qualification (HE3 suffix) | Validates suitability for automotive powertrain, body control, and ADAS modules requiring zero-failure field reliability |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.32) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on downstream MOSFETs or ICs compared to higher-ratio TVS devices |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Supports lead-free reflow without moisture-induced popcorn cracking - no bake required prior to assembly |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1 μA) across temperature and lifetime, critical for battery-powered sensors |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial 24 V DC Power Input |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36A-E3/5B | Same VWM (30.8 V), identical SMB package, but rated for 400 W PPPM (vs. 600 W) and not AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited to commercial-grade industrial or consumer use; unsuitable for automotive under-hood deployment | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and 600 W surge margin |
| 1.5SMC36A | Same electrical specs (VBR, VC, PPPM), but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package (0.285" × 0.175") and no AEC-Q101 certification | Requires PCB layout change; used where higher thermal mass is needed but space allows larger footprint | Choose only if existing SMC land pattern exists and AEC-Q101 is not required |
Compared with SMAJ36A-E3/5B and 1.5SMC36A, P6SMB36AHE3_A/I delivers certified automotive reliability, higher surge margin (600 W), and drop-in SMB compatibility - making it the preferred choice for new AEC-Q101-compliant designs where board space and thermal performance are constrained.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of P6SMB36AHE3_A/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The P6SMB36AHE3_A/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 49.9 V at 12.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream components in circuits protected by the P6SMB36AHE3_A/I.
Is P6SMB36AHE3_A/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, P6SMB36AHE3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HE3" suffix and documentation in Vishay's P6SMB datasheet (Rev. 09-Jan-2024, Doc. #88370). This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - validating its use in automotive body control, ADAS, and powertrain systems.
What does the "_A/I" suffix mean in P6SMB36AHE3_A/I?
The "_A/I" suffix in P6SMB36AHE3_A/I indicates packaging: "A" denotes the revision code per Vishay's internal documentation, and "I" specifies 13-inch diameter plastic tape-and-reel delivery containing 3200 units. This format complies with EIA-481-D standards and supports high-speed pick-and-place assembly.
How does P6SMB36AHE3_A/I differ from non-HE3 variants like P6SMB36AE3?
P6SMB36AHE3_A/I includes AEC-Q101 qualification and enhanced process controls for automotive reliability, whereas P6SMB36AE3 is commercial-grade only. Both share identical electrical specs and SMB package, but only P6SMB36AHE3_A/I is approved for automotive under-hood use - a distinction critical for functional safety compliance in OEM designs using the P6SMB36AHE3_A/I.
What is the thermal resistance of P6SMB36AHE3_A/I, and how does it affect PCB layout?
P6SMB36AHE3_A/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W and junction-to-lead (RθJL) of 20 °C/W. To maintain safe operation under repetitive surges, PCB layout must use minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal - as specified in the datasheet - to achieve stated thermal performance and avoid exceeding the 150 °C max junction temperature.
