Product details
Overview
P6SMB47CAHE3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, rated for 47 V standoff voltage (VWM), 64.8 V clamping voltage (VC) at 9.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 μs waveform. It protects signal lines and power rails in automotive sensor units, industrial I/O interfaces, and telecom surge-prone circuits.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB47CAHE3_A/H datasheet, P6SMB47CAHE3_A/H pinout, P6SMB47CAHE3_A/H application, or P6SMB47CAHE3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification status, 150 °C max junction temperature, low incremental surge resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on standard PCB pad layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped transient protector with symmetrical breakdown characteristics in both directions due to its bidirectional construction. It exhibits fast response time (<1 ns), low clamping ratio (VC/VWM = 1.38), and thermal stability up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Designed for repetitive surge events at 0.01 % duty cycle, it delivers 600 W peak pulse power under standardized 10/1000 μs waveform conditions while maintaining <1.0 μA reverse leakage at 40.2 V (VWM). Its glass-passivated junction ensures robust ESD immunity and long-term reliability in harsh environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 40.2 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin below breakdown. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 44.7–49.4 V at 1 mA - Confirmed voltage range where device transitions from high-impedance to low-impedance clamping state. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 64.8 V at 9.3 A IPPM - Peak voltage seen across protected circuit during worst-case 10/1000 μs surge; critical for IC survivability. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Maximum transient energy absorption capability under standardized waveform; enables protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surges. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | <1.0 μA at VWM - Ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity in high-impedance sensor or communication lines. |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; supports operation in under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and mechanical shock per AEC specification. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile plastic case with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. Molding compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward conduction mode | Not used in typical TVS protection configuration; bidirectional symmetry means either terminal serves as cathode/anode depending on polarity of transient. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward conduction mode | No polarity marking on bidirectional devices; terminals are functionally identical - no designated anode/cathode end for P6SMB47CAHE3_A/H. |
Key Features

| Telecom Line Interface Protection | Consumer USB Port ESD Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Shielding RS-485 transceivers in base station backhaul links from lightning-induced surges on twisted-pair data lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Symmetrical TVS pair (one per line) referenced to ground, leveraging bidirectional behavior to handle differential and common-mode transients equally. Use Value: Clamps common-mode surges to <65 V within <1 ns, preserving transceiver common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and preventing latch-up during telecom-grade surge tests. |
Use Scenario: Adding secondary-level surge protection to USB 2.0 data lines (D+/D−) in smart home hubs exposed to user-handling ESD and nearby AC line disturbances. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance bidirectional clamp placed differentially across D+ and D− to suppress ±8 kV contact ESD per IEC 61000-4-2 without distorting 480 Mbps signaling. Use Value: Delivers sub-100 pF junction capacitance (typical), ensuring <0.5 dB insertion loss at 240 MHz - critical for maintaining USB eye diagram integrity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ47CA | Same VWM (40.2 V), lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package (larger footprint, higher RθJA) | Limited to lower-energy surges; unsuitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 compliance | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs surge margin and board space permits larger SMA footprint. |
| SMCJ47CA | Same VWM (40.2 V), higher PPPM (1500 W), SMC package (3.5× larger area, lower RθJA) | Overqualified for most 600 W use cases; adds unnecessary PCB area and thermal mass | Prefer only when system-level testing reveals marginal clamping margin or sustained multi-pulse stress is expected. |
Compared with SMAJ47CA and SMCJ47CA, the P6SMB47CAHE3_A/H provides optimal balance of surge capability, compact SMB footprint, and automotive qualification - delivering verified 600 W clamping performance without over-engineering board area or thermal design.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in P6SMB47CAHE3_A/H?
The "CA" suffix denotes that the P6SMB47CAHE3_A/H is a bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor, meaning it provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities - essential for protecting AC-coupled signals, differential buses like RS-485 or CAN, and ungrounded power rails where polarity reversal may occur during transients.
Is P6SMB47CAHE3_A/H RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the P6SMB47CAHE3_A/H carries the HE3 suffix, indicating it is RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified. However, it is not halogen-free - that designation requires the HM3 suffix. For halogen-free compliance, the correct variant is P6SMB47CAHM3_A/H, which shares identical electrical specs but uses halogen-free molding compound.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6SMB47CAHE3_A/H under standard test conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of the P6SMB47CAHE3_A/H is 64.8 V, measured at 9.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the standardized 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and forms the basis for downstream IC voltage tolerance validation.
Does P6SMB47CAHE3_A/H require a heatsink for normal operation?
No, the P6SMB47CAHE3_A/H is designed for surface-mount operation without external heatsinking. Its thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA) is 100 °C/W on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads, and its 5.0 W steady-state power dissipation (PD) is sufficient for typical leakage-current loading - heatsinking is only needed if sustained high-duty-cycle surges exceed derated limits.
How does the AEC-Q101 qualification impact the use of P6SMB47CAHE3_A/H in automotive designs?
The AEC-Q101 qualification of P6SMB47CAHE3_A/H validates its reliability for automotive applications including under-hood and chassis-mounted modules. It confirms passing temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and mechanical shock tests - enabling direct use in ASIL-B compatible systems without additional component-level qualification effort.
