Product details
Overview
P6SMB47A-E3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed to protect sensitive electronics against voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lightning surges. It features a 47 V breakdown voltage (VBR min = 44.7 V, max = 49.4 V), 40.2 V stand-off voltage (VWM), and clamps at ≤64.8 V under 9.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 μs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB47A-E3/52 datasheet, P6SMB47A-E3/52 pinout, P6SMB47A-E3/52 application, or P6SMB47A-E3/52 equivalent, this device serves as a primary overvoltage protection component for DC power rails, I/O lines, and sensor interfaces in automotive, industrial, and telecom systems where robust surge immunity and RoHS-compliant packaging are required.
Technical Context
The P6SMB47A-E3/52 operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, enabling fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its clamping behavior is defined by a 10/1000 μs double-exponential pulse, delivering 600 W peak pulse power at TA = 25 °C with 0.01 % duty cycle repeatability.
Thermal performance is characterized by RθJA = 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, on minimum pad layout) and RθJL = 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead), supporting reliable operation up to TJ = +150 °C. The cathode band denotes polarity, and the matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ47A (Bourns) | Same SMB package, identical VWM = 40.2 V and VC = 64.8 V, but rated for 400 W PPPM (vs. 600 W) | Limited to lower-energy transients; not recommended for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a or IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs peak surge margin and layout space allows parallel devices |
| 1.5SMC47A (ON Semiconductor) | Same electrical specs and SMB package, but MSL Level 2 (vs. Level 1) and no AEC-Q101 variant available in E3 configuration | Requires moisture baking prior to reflow; unsuitable for automotive production without qualification | Prefer for non-automotive industrial use where extended shelf life and simplified handling are priorities |
Compared with SMAJ47A and 1.5SMC47A, P6SMB47A-E3/52 delivers superior 600 W surge capability and MSL Level 1 compatibility out-of-box, making it the optimal choice for high-reliability automotive and telecom power rail protection where board space and reflow process simplicity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6SMB47A-E3/52 under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The P6SMB47A-E3/52 clamps to a maximum of 64.8 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 9.3 A with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events. The P6SMB47A-E3/52 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range, with minor derating above 25 °C per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
Is P6SMB47A-E3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, P6SMB47A-E3/52 is RoHS-compliant and qualified to AEC-Q101 when ordered with HE3 or HM3 suffixes (e.g., P6SMB47AHE3_B). The base P6SMB47A-E3/52 is commercial-grade but shares identical electrical and thermal characteristics; many Tier 1 suppliers deploy it in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems after internal qualification. For certified automotive use, specify the HE3 variant.
What is the leakage current specification for P6SMB47A-E3/52 at its stand-off voltage?
The P6SMB47A-E3/52 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 μA at its rated stand-off voltage of 40.2 V and TA = 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in battery-backed or high-impedance sensing circuits, preserving signal fidelity and extending operational lifetime in always-on applications.
Does P6SMB47A-E3/52 have a bidirectional version?
Yes - the bidirectional counterpart is P6SMB47CA-E3/52, which provides symmetrical clamping in both directions and is marked "47C". It shares identical VBR, VC, and PPPM ratings but lacks polarity marking and is used where AC signal lines or differential buses require protection without polarity constraints.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for P6SMB47A-E3/52?
The P6SMB47A-E3/52 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes still air conditions and is critical for calculating maximum power dissipation at elevated ambient temperatures using the derating curve in Figure 2 of the datasheet.
