Product details
Overview
P6SMB47AHM3_B/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, rated for 47 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 44.7–49.4 V at 1 mA), 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and 64.8 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 9.3 A peak pulse current - deployed for overvoltage protection of MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB47AHM3_B/I datasheet, P6SMB47AHM3_B/I pinout, P6SMB47AHM3_B/I application, or P6SMB47AHM3_B/I equivalent, this AEC-Q101 qualified TVS offers verified bidirectional-capable variants, low incremental surge resistance, and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility up to 260 °C - critical for high-reliability automotive ECUs and industrial motor controllers requiring robust ESD and load-dump immunity.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with cathode-band polarity marking, leveraging glass-passivated junction technology for stable breakdown and fast response (<1 ns). Its clamping behavior is defined by a 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform, with thermal derating above 25 °C per Fig. 2 and junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 100 °C/W on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
The P6SMB47AHM3_B/I features a stand-off voltage (VWM) of 40.2 V, reverse leakage current ≤1.0 µA at VWM, and a temperature coefficient of VBR of +0.101 %/°C - enabling predictable voltage margining across -65 °C to +150 °C operating range. It meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements.
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-E3/5B | Same VBR range (44.7–49.4 V), but 400 W PPPM rating and SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 140 °C/W) | Lower power handling limits use to sub-5 A surge environments; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when space-constrained layouts prioritize size over automotive qualification and 600 W surge margin |
| 1.5SMC47A | Same electrical specs but SMC (DO-214AB) package - 7.11 mm × 6.22 mm, 2× larger footprint, RθJA = 60 °C/W | Better thermal performance enables sustained surge duty in high-ambient industrial drives, but requires more PCB area | Choose when thermal management dominates layout constraints and board space permits larger package |
Compared with SMAJ47A-E3/5B, P6SMB47AHM3_B/I delivers 50% higher surge power headroom and automotive qualification; versus 1.5SMC47A, it trades thermal efficiency for compactness and standardized SMB assembly flow - making it optimal for high-volume automotive modules where footprint and process compatibility are critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of P6SMB47AHM3_B/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The P6SMB47AHM3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 64.8 V at 9.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value ensures protected circuitry remains below critical voltage thresholds during surge events. The clamping performance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and is validated per JEDEC test methods. P6SMB47AHM3_B/I maintains this specification with no degradation after repeated surge exposure when mounted per recommended pad layout.
Is P6SMB47AHM3_B/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, P6SMB47AHM3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified - explicitly certified for automotive use with test evidence covering high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing. The HM3_B suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. P6SMB47AHM3_B/I is deployed in body control modules, ADAS power supplies, and infotainment system protection where reliability under vibration, thermal shock, and extended temperature operation is required.
What does the "_B/I" suffix mean in P6SMB47AHM3_B/I?
The "_B" in P6SMB47AHM3_B/I indicates AEC-Q101 qualification for the P6SMB6.8A–P6SMB220A voltage range, while "_I" specifies packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with 3200 units per reel. The "HM3" portion confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction. Together, P6SMB47AHM3_B/I identifies a fully automotive-qualified, environmentally compliant, high-volume surface-mount TVS delivered in industry-standard bulk packaging for automated assembly.
How does P6SMB47AHM3_B/I compare to bidirectional versions like P6SMB47CA?
P6SMB47AHM3_B/I is unidirectional and features a cathode band for polarity identification, whereas P6SMB47CA is bidirectional with no polarity marking and symmetric clamping in both directions. The unidirectional P6SMB47AHM3_B/I provides lower leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and tighter VBR tolerance than its bidirectional counterpart, making it preferred for DC rail protection. P6SMB47AHM3_B/I cannot replace P6SMB47CA in AC-coupled or floating signal line applications without circuit redesign.
What is the thermal resistance and mounting requirement for P6SMB47AHM3_B/I?
P6SMB47AHM3_B/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal - as specified in the datasheet's thermal characteristics table. Deviation from this pad layout increases thermal impedance and reduces surge current capability. For continuous power dissipation, derating curves in Figure 2 must be applied above 25 °C ambient. P6SMB47AHM3_B/I is not intended for sustained DC power dissipation beyond 5.0 W.
