Product details
Overview
P6SMB47AHM3/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 47 V breakdown voltage (VBR min = 44.7 V, max = 49.4 V), 40.2 V standoff voltage (VWM), 64.8 V maximum clamping voltage 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 industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB47AHM3/H datasheet, P6SMB47AHM3/H pinout, P6SMB47AHM3/H application, or P6SMB47AHM3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification status (HM3 suffix), halogen-free RoHS compliance, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), and junction temperature range (–65 °C to +150 °C).
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device that enters avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance (<1 µA at VWM) and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD and inductive switching transients.
The device uses a single PN junction structure with cathode band marking, rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. Its SMB package provides low-profile mounting and automated placement compatibility.

| PPPM | 600 W - standardized surge power rating defining transient energy absorption capacity |

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 SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 140 °C/W) | Limited to lower-power or space-constrained designs where thermal dissipation is less critical | Select when board area is constrained and peak surge duty cycle is low; verify thermal margin due to higher junction rise |
| 1.5SMC47A | Same electrical specs but SMC (DO-214AB) package - larger footprint, lower RθJA = 60 °C/W, higher IFSM = 200 A | Better suited for high-reliability industrial systems requiring enhanced surge endurance and thermal headroom | Choose for mission-critical 48 V systems needing extended surge lifetime and improved thermal stability under repeated transients |
Compared with SMAJ47A-E3/5B and 1.5SMC47A, the P6SMB47AHM3/H offers balanced surge capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, and SMB footprint - making it optimal for automotive-qualified industrial power modules where reliability, regulatory compliance, and moderate board area are jointly prioritized.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for P6SMB47AHM3/H?
The P6SMB47AHM3/H has a specified breakdown voltage range of 44.7 V to 49.4 V at 1.0 mA test current, representing ±10% tolerance around the nominal 47 V rating. This tight VBR window ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports precise overvoltage protection design in 48 V systems where margin to downstream component ratings is critical. The P6SMB47AHM3/H datasheet confirms this range under "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" at TA = 25 °C.
Is P6SMB47AHM3/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the P6SMB47AHM3/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HM3" suffix denoting halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and automotive-grade construction. It is validated for use in body electronics, infotainment power rails, and sensor interfaces where operating temperatures span –65 °C to +150 °C and reliability under vibration, thermal cycling, and surge stress is mandatory. The P6SMB47AHM3/H meets all stress tests defined in the AEC-Q101 standard for discrete semiconductors.
What does the "H" in P6SMB47AHM3/H signify?
The "H" in P6SMB47AHM3/H denotes the packaging configuration: 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with 750 units per reel. This delivery format is optimized for high-volume SMT assembly lines using standard pick-and-place equipment. The full ordering code P6SMB47AHM3/H distinguishes it from alternate reels (e.g., "I" = 13-inch reel, 3200 units) and base variants (e.g., "E3" = commercial RoHS, "HM3" = automotive halogen-free RoHS). The P6SMB47AHM3/H part number uniquely identifies this specific reel configuration and qualification level.
How does P6SMB47AHM3/H compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like P6SMB47CA?
The P6SMB47AHM3/H is unidirectional and intended for DC line protection where polarity is fixed, offering lower leakage (<1 µA at VWM) and tighter VBR symmetry than bidirectional types. In contrast, P6SMB47CA provides symmetrical clamping for AC or floating signal lines but exhibits higher capacitance and dual-threshold behavior. Use P6SMB47AHM3/H on 48 V supply rails or microcontroller I/O with defined ground reference; select P6SMB47CA only when protecting differential buses or AC-coupled paths where polarity reversal occurs. Both share identical SMB package and 600 W rating.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6SMB47AHM3/H under surge conditions?
The P6SMB47AHM3/H 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 is measured per JEDEC standards and represents the upper bound of voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case transient events. Designers must ensure downstream components (e.g., DC/DC controllers, gate drivers) have voltage ratings exceeding 64.8 V to maintain functional safety. The P6SMB47AHM3/H datasheet lists this parameter in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table for part number P6SMB47A.
