Product details
Overview
P6SMB36AHE3_B/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 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 - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB36AHE3_B/H datasheet, P6SMB36AHE3_B/H pinout, P6SMB36AHE3_B/H application, or P6SMB36AHE3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification (HE3 suffix), 150 °C max junction temperature, low incremental surge resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on standard PCB copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device that conducts above its reverse stand-off voltage (30.8 V) to divert transient energy away from sensitive downstream components. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior and fast response time (<1 ns), while the SMB package provides robust thermal dissipation (RθJA = 100 °C/W) under repetitive surge conditions.
The device is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) and supports 0.01 % duty cycle operation with 10/1000 μs waveform. It meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1, has matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002, and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive applications - confirmed by the "HE3" and "_B/H" suffixes indicating RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified, 7" tape-and-reel packaging.

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-E3/52 (Vishay) | Same VBR/VC specs but SMA package (DO-214AC); 10% smaller footprint, 20% lower PPPM (400 W) | Limited to lower-energy transients; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when board space is constrained and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| 1.5SMC36A (ON Semiconductor) | Identical electrical specs and SMB package; same 600 W PPPM and 49.9 V VC; RoHS-compliant but no AEC-Q101 variant | Not certified for automotive use; lacks HE3 suffix and _B/H traceability | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with SMAJ36A-E3/52 and 1.5SMC36A, P6SMB36AHE3_B/H uniquely combines full AEC-Q101 qualification, 600 W surge capability in SMB, and traceable 7" tape-and-reel delivery - making it the preferred choice for automotive Tier-1 production and mission-critical industrial BOMs.

FAQ
What does the "_B/H" suffix mean in P6SMB36AHE3_B/H?
The "_B/H" suffix in P6SMB36AHE3_B/H indicates AEC-Q101 qualification level "B" and 7-inch diameter plastic tape-and-reel packaging (H). This confirms the device meets automotive-grade reliability testing per AEC-Q101 Rev D and ships in industry-standard 750-unit reels compatible with high-speed pick-and-place equipment. The "HE3" portion denotes RoHS-compliant, halogen-free construction.
Is P6SMB36AHE3_B/H bidirectional or unidirectional?
P6SMB36AHE3_B/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, as confirmed by its part number ending in "A" (not "CA") and specification table listing only unidirectional parameters: VBR min/max, VWM, and IFSM. Its cathode is marked with a band, and it conducts only when anode-to-cathode voltage exceeds VBR - making it suitable for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6SMB36AHE3_B/H at rated peak pulse current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of P6SMB36AHE3_B/H is 49.9 V at 12.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in the datasheet and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during worst-case surge events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Can P6SMB36AHE3_B/H replace P6SMB36A-E3/52 in existing designs?
Yes, P6SMB36AHE3_B/H is a direct functional and mechanical replacement for P6SMB36A-E3/52, sharing identical electrical characteristics, SMB package dimensions, and pinout. The key upgrade is AEC-Q101 qualification and enhanced traceability via the "_B/H" suffix - no PCB layout or schematic changes are required, though automotive programs must verify qualification documentation for PPAP submission.
What thermal derating applies to P6SMB36AHE3_B/H above 25 °C ambient?
P6SMB36AHE3_B/H follows standard thermal derating: peak pulse power decreases linearly above 25 °C ambient, with full 600 W rating only at TA ≤ 25 °C. Per Figure 2 in the datasheet, power capability drops to ~480 W at 50 °C and ~300 W at 100 °C ambient - design margins must account for this when sizing copper pads or estimating junction temperature rise during repetitive surge events.
