Product details
Overview
P6SMB47AHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, rated for 47 V standoff voltage (VWM = 40.2 V), 64.8 V clamping voltage at 9.3 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power with 10/1000 μs waveform. It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients and ESD in automotive and industrial power electronics.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB47AHE3_B/H datasheet, P6SMB47AHE3_B/H pinout, P6SMB47AHE3_B/H application, or P6SMB47AHE3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C max junction temperature, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on standard PCB copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that enters avalanche breakdown when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold (VBR min = 44.7 V, max = 49.4 V at 1 mA). Its low incremental surge resistance ensures stable clamping under repetitive 10/1000 μs transients at 0.01% duty cycle.
Designed for surface-mount assembly, it features glass-passivated junction, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. The cathode band identifies polarity for unidirectional operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off) | 40.2 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; defines safe operating margin below clamping onset |
| VBR (Breakdown) | 44.7–49.4 V at 1 mA - Voltage range where avalanche conduction begins; determines transient detection sensitivity |
| VC (Clamping) | 64.8 V at IPPM = 9.3 A - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 μs surge; critical for downstream component survivability |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 μs waveform; enables robust protection against lightning-induced surges |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; supports operation in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Standardized 2-pin surface-mount outline with 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm thermal pad footprint for effective heat dissipation |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock testing |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, unidirectional configuration with cathode band marking. Dimensions: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm (L × W × H); thermal pad layout requires 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper area per terminal per datasheet fig. 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / Reverse surge return path | Connected to protected line's low-side reference (e.g., ground or signal return); completes clamping loop during transient |
| Cathode | Avalanche conduction node / Surge sink | Marked with band; connects to protected line (e.g., 48 V rail or sensor input); conducts surge current into anode during overvoltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power | Handles high-energy transients (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a) without degradation in automotive power nets |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive electronics including engine control units, body controllers, and ADAS sensor interfaces |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures long-term stability of breakdown voltage and leakage performance across temperature and humidity stress |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Allows single-reflow soldering without moisture-related popcorning; compatible with standard SMT production lines |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.38) | Minimizes overvoltage exposure to downstream ICs while maintaining fast response (< 1 ns typical) |
Applications
| Automotive Power Distribution | Industrial Sensor Signal Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 48 V battery-fed ECUs from load dump and alternator ripple transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamping device placed between power rail and ground to shunt surge energy. Use Value: Limits voltage excursion to ≤64.8 V during 600 W pulses, preventing damage to 50 V-rated DC-DC converters and microcontrollers. |

Use Scenario: Secondary-side overvoltage suppression on 5 V/12 V USB-C PD adapter outputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Final-stage transient limiter before connector to prevent user-port damage during hot-plug events. Use Value: Low leakage (<1 μA at 40.2 V) avoids standby power loss; compact SMB footprint fits tight output filter layouts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ47A-E3/5B | Same VWM (40.2 V) and VC (64.8 V), but lower PPPM (400 W); SMA package (smaller thermal mass) | Limited to lower-energy transients; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when cost or board space is prioritized over automotive qualification and 600 W surge headroom |
| 1.5SMC47A | Identical electrical specs, but SMC (DO-214AB) package - larger footprint (7.11 mm × 6.22 mm) and higher RθJA (60 °C/W) | Better thermal handling for sustained surge repetition; less suitable for dense SMT layouts | Choose when system-level thermal management allows larger footprint and higher peak power cycling is required |
Compared with SMAJ47A-E3/5B and 1.5SMC47A, P6SMB47AHE3_B/H uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, SMB footprint efficiency, and full 600 W capability-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial designs requiring validated reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6SMB47AHE3_B/H under standard test conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of P6SMB47AHE3_B/H is 64.8 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 9.3 A using the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed per Vishay's datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events. P6SMB47AHE3_B/H maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is P6SMB47AHE3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, P6SMB47AHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HE3" and "_B" suffixes in its ordering code. It has undergone rigorous stress testing-including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and mechanical shock-to meet automotive electronic requirements. P6SMB47AHE3_B/H is commonly deployed in engine control modules, body electronics, and ADAS power rails where transient immunity and long-term reliability are mandatory.
What does the "_B/H" suffix in P6SMB47AHE3_B/H signify?
The "_B" denotes AEC-Q101 qualification for the P6SMB47AHE3_B/H series (applicable to models from P6SMB6.8A through P6SMB220A), while "/H" specifies packaging in 7-inch plastic tape-and-reel format with 750 units per reel. This suffix combination confirms both automotive-grade reliability and standard SMT-compatible delivery form. P6SMB47AHE3_B/H is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free per Vishay's material categorization.
How does the SMB package of P6SMB47AHE3_B/H compare thermally to larger packages like SMC?
P6SMB47AHE3_B/H in SMB (DO-214AA) has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W, versus ~60 °C/W for the larger SMC (DO-214AB) package used in 1.5SMC47A. While SMB offers superior board-space efficiency, its higher thermal resistance means P6SMB47AHE3_B/H relies more heavily on proper PCB copper pad design (minimum 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm per terminal) to sustain repetitive surges. For single-event protection, P6SMB47AHE3_B/H performs identically to larger variants.
Can P6SMB47AHE3_B/H be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, P6SMB47AHE3_B/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, as confirmed by its part number suffix "A" (not "CA") and cathode-band marking. Bidirectional operation requires the CA variant (e.g., P6SMB47CA). Using P6SMB47AHE3_B/H in reverse-biased AC signal paths would result in forward conduction and failure. Always verify polarity alignment during layout-cathode must connect to the line being protected.
