Product details
Overview
P6SMB47CAHE3_B/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 maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 9.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs waveform). It protects signal lines and power rails in automotive sensor units, industrial I/O modules, and telecom interface circuits against ESD and inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB47CAHE3_B/H datasheet, P6SMB47CAHE3_B/H pinout, P6SMB47CAHE3_B/H application, or P6SMB47CAHE3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping symmetry, AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C max junction temperature, low 1.0 μA reverse leakage at VWM, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on standard PCB pad layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: during transient overvoltage events exceeding its breakdown threshold (VBR = 44.7–49.4 V), it avalanches to divert surge current away from downstream circuitry while maintaining clamped voltage ≤64.8 V. Its bidirectional structure enables symmetrical protection on AC-coupled or floating lines without polarity constraints.
Designed for high-reliability environments, P6SMB47CAHE3_B/H features glass-passivated junctions, meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (peak reflow 260 °C), and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive applications. Thermal resistance is RθJA = 100 °C/W (typ.) and RθJL = 20 °C/W (typ.), supporting operation up to 150 °C junction temperature under defined PCB copper pad conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off) | 40.2 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before conduction begins; defines safe operating margin below clamping threshold. |
| VBR (Breakdown) | 44.7–49.4 V at 1.0 mA - Verified avalanche onset range; ensures predictable turn-on during transients. |
| VC (Clamping) | 64.8 V at 9.3 A (10/1000 μs) - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge; determines downstream component stress. |
| IPPM | 9.3 A - Maximum non-repetitive surge current the device can safely clamp; sized for common IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3/4 threats. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; validates robustness against 10/1000 μs transients at 0.01% duty cycle. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; sets thermal derating limits for sustained power dissipation. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads; guides PCB thermal design. |

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 47 V VWM, but lower 400 W PPPM; SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 140 °C/W). | Limited to lower-energy transients; less suitable for IEC 61000-4-5; preferred where board space is constrained. | Select SMAJ47CA only if surge threat level is ≤400 W and PCB layout cannot accommodate SMB's larger pad area. |
| SMCJ47CA | Same 47 V VWM, higher 1500 W PPPM; SMC package (larger, lower RθJA = 50 °C/W). | Overqualified for 600 W needs; adds cost and board area; better for harsher environments (e.g., railway, heavy industrial). | Choose SMCJ47CA when future-proofing against higher surge levels or when thermal management is critical under sustained ambient >85 °C. |
Compared with SMAJ47CA and SMCJ47CA, P6SMB47CAHE3_B/H delivers optimal balance of 600 W surge rating, AEC-Q101 compliance, and SMB footprint-making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial designs requiring validated reliability without over-engineering.

Is P6SMB47CAHE3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, P6SMB47CAHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HE3" and "_B" suffixes in the part number. It undergoes rigorous stress testing-including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and ESD-to meet automotive electronic module requirements. Its 150 °C max junction temperature and MSL Level 1 rating further support under-hood and infotainment system deployment.
What does the "CA" suffix mean in P6SMB47CAHE3_B/H?
The "CA" suffix in P6SMB47CAHE3_B/H denotes a bidirectional configuration. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., P6SMB47A), this device provides symmetrical clamping for both polarities-ideal for protecting AC-coupled signals, differential buses (e.g., RS-485), or floating nodes where voltage reversals occur. No cathode band marking is present, confirming its bidirectional nature.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6SMB47CAHE3_B/H at rated surge current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of P6SMB47CAHE3_B/H is 64.8 V at 9.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across temperature and represents the highest voltage the protected circuit will experience during a worst-case transient, directly informing downstream component voltage ratings.
How does the SMB (DO-214AA) package of P6SMB47CAHE3_B/H affect thermal performance?
The SMB (DO-214AA) package of P6SMB47CAHE3_B/H delivers a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per Vishay's recommended layout.
