Product details
Overview
P6SMB47AHM3_A/H 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 47 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 44.7–49.4 V at 1 mA), 40.2 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 64.8 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 9.3 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 P6SMB47AHM3_A/H datasheet, P6SMB47AHM3_A/H pinout, P6SMB47AHM3_A/H application, or P6SMB47AHM3_A/H equivalent, this part delivers AEC-Q101-qualified transient suppression in SMB (DO-214AA) package with halogen-free RoHS compliance, low incremental surge resistance, and fast response time - critical for ESD and load-switching surge protection in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The P6SMB47AHM3_A/H operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and low leakage (<1 μA at VWM), while thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W) supports operation up to 150 °C junction temperature under defined PCB pad layout (0.2" × 0.2" copper).
It meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (peak reflow ≤260 °C), uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and is rated for repetitive 0.01% duty cycle pulses. The cathode band denotes polarity, and its bidirectional counterpart would use "CA" suffix (e.g., P6SMB47CHM3_A/H), which is not applicable here.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage VBR | 44.7–49.4 V at 1 mA - defines precise clamping onset threshold for overvoltage events |
| Stand-off Voltage VWM | 40.2 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 1 μA |
| Clamping Voltage VC | 64.8 V at 9.3 A IPPM - limits downstream voltage during 600 W transient, protecting 48 V systems |
| Peak Pulse Power PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 μs) - sustains high-energy surges without failure under standard test waveform |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - surface-mount footprint (4.57 mm × 3.94 mm) compatible with automated placement |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes (HM3 suffix) - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling and humidity testing |
| RoHS & Halogen-Free | Compliant per Vishay base P/N-HM3 - meets environmental requirements for industrial and automotive production |

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-E3/52 | Same VBR range (44.7–49.4 V), but 400 W PPPM rating and SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA) | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy is ≤400 W |
| 1.5SMC47A | Same electrical specs but SMC (DO-214AB) package - larger body, lower RθJA (80 °C/W), higher IFSM (200 A) | Better thermal handling for high-repetition surges; requires larger PCB area | Choose for industrial motor drives where thermal margin and surge repetition matter more than size |
Compared with SMAJ47A-E3/52 and 1.5SMC47A, the P6SMB47AHM3_A/H uniquely balances 600 W surge capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, SMB footprint, and halogen-free compliance - making it optimal for automotive and high-reliability 48 V embedded systems where space, reliability, and regulatory alignment are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P6SMB47AHM3_A/H under peak pulse conditions?
The P6SMB47AHM3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 64.8 V at 9.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per standard test conditions (TA = 25 °C, mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a 600 W transient event. The P6SMB47AHM3_A/H maintains this clamping performance consistently due to its glass-passivated junction and low incremental surge resistance.
Is the P6SMB47AHM3_A/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the P6SMB47AHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by its HM3 suffix and documentation in Vishay's P6SMB series datasheet (Rev. 09-Jan-2024). This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock - validating its use in automotive body control modules, infotainment power supplies, and ADAS sensor interfaces. The P6SMB47AHM3_A/H meets the same reliability requirements as other HM3-suffixed parts in the series.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in P6SMB47AHM3_A/H?
The "HM3" suffix in P6SMB47AHM3_A/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this variant from commercial-grade E3/M3 versions and confirms compliance with automotive environmental and reliability standards. The "_A/H" further specifies packaging: "A" indicates tape-and-reel format per 7" diameter reel (750 pcs), and "H" is the reel orientation code. The P6SMB47AHM3_A/H thus combines automotive-grade reliability with eco-friendly materials and SMT-ready packaging.
How does the P6SMB47AHM3_A/H compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like P6SMB47CHM3_A/H?
The P6SMB47AHM3_A/H is unidirectional and conducts only in reverse bias above VBR, making it suitable for DC power line protection where polarity is fixed. In contrast, P6SMB47CHM3_A/H is bidirectional - symmetric in both directions - and used for AC or floating signal lines (e.g., RS-485, CAN). They share identical VBR, VC, and PPPM ratings, but the P6SMB47AHM3_A/H offers lower leakage at VWM and requires correct polarity orientation during placement, unlike the polarity-agnostic P6SMB47CHM3_A/H.
What PCB layout guidance applies to the P6SMB47AHM3_A/H for optimal thermal performance?
For optimal thermal performance, the P6SMB47AHM3_A/H must be mounted on minimum recommended copper pad areas: 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) per terminal, per Vishay datasheet Figure 6 and thermal characterization. This pad size achieves the specified RθJA of 100 °C/W. Reducing pad area increases junction temperature rise during surge events and may compromise reliability. The P6SMB47AHM3_A/H also requires adherence to J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 reflow profile, with peak temperature ≤260 °C.
