Product details
Overview
P6SMB47CAHE3_B/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in the P6SMB series, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features a 47 V standoff voltage (VWM), 64.8 V maximum clamping voltage at 9.3 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power capability with a 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive and industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB47CAHE3_B/I datasheet, P6SMB47CAHE3_B/I pinout, P6SMB47CAHE3_B/I application, or P6SMB47CAHE3_B/I equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification, SMB (DO-214AA) package compatibility, and thermal performance under repetitive surge conditions.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically in both polarities, with breakdown voltage (VBR) specified at 44.7–49.4 V (min/max) at 1 mA test current. Its low incremental surge resistance ensures stable clamping during fast transients, and its glass-passivated junction enables reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.
The device meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity and supports automated SMT placement. Its 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is measured on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads - critical for derating calculations in high-duty-cycle surge environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 40.2 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; defines operating margin below clamping threshold |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 44.7–49.4 V at 1 mA - Voltage at which device enters avalanche conduction; determines transient response onset |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 64.8 V at 9.3 A IPPM - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 μs surge; limits stress on downstream components |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Sustained energy absorption capability per single 10/1000 μs transient; enables robust protection in noisy environments |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | 1.0 μA at VWM - Low leakage preserves signal integrity and minimizes standby power loss in high-impedance circuits |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; supports operation in under-hood automotive and industrial enclosures |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - Validated for automotive electronics per stress-test requirements including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD |

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) and VC (64.8 V), but 400 W PPPM rating and SMA package (higher RθJA) | Limited to lower-energy transients; less suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 compliance in industrial settings | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy is ≤400 W; verify thermal derating on small pads |
| 1.5KE47CA | Higher PPPM (1500 W), axial-leaded DO-201 package, slower response due to higher parasitic inductance | Not SMT-compatible; unsuitable for high-density or automated assembly; better for chassis-level primary protection | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-SMT designs where PCB real estate is not constrained and peak currents exceed 9.3 A |
Compared with P6SMB47CAHE3_B/I, SMAJ47CA offers smaller footprint but reduced surge handling, while 1.5KE47CA delivers higher power rating at the expense of SMT compatibility and speed - making P6SMB47CAHE3_B/I optimal for AEC-Q101-compliant, high-reliability SMT deployments.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in P6SMB47CAHE3_B/I?
The "CA" suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration - meaning P6SMB47CAHE3_B/I provides symmetrical clamping for both positive and negative voltage transients without polarity marking. This differs from unidirectional variants (e.g., P6SMB47A), which require correct cathode orientation and only clamp in one direction. The CA version is ideal for AC-coupled lines, differential buses like CAN, or floating sensor outputs where voltage polarity is undefined.
Is P6SMB47CAHE3_B/I RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, P6SMB47CAHE3_B/I 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 (e.g., P6SMB47CAHM3_B/I). The HE3 variant uses standard matte tin plating and meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, making it suitable for commercial and automotive applications where halogen content is not restricted.
How does the "_B/I" ordering code affect P6SMB47CAHE3_B/I's packaging and logistics?
The "_B/I" suffix specifies AEC-Q101 qualification ("B") and 13-inch tape-and-reel delivery ("I"), containing 3200 units per reel. This contrasts with "_B/H", which uses 7-inch reels (750 units). The "I" format supports high-volume SMT line efficiency and reduces changeover frequency, while the "B" revision confirms compliance with automotive stress-test requirements including HTGB, TCT, and H3TRB per AEC-Q101.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6SMB47CAHE3_B/I under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of P6SMB47CAHE3_B/I is 64.8 V at 9.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value represents the worst-case voltage imposed on the protected circuit during a standardized surge event - critical for ensuring downstream components (e.g., 5 V or 3.3 V logic ICs) remain within absolute maximum ratings even under full-rated transient stress.
Can P6SMB47CAHE3_B/I replace P6SMB47A in an existing design?
No - P6SMB47CAHE3_B/I is bidirectional, while P6SMB47A is unidirectional and marked with a cathode band. Substituting them requires verifying circuit topology: P6SMB47CAHE3_B/I may be used in place of P6SMB47A only if the protected node is floating or AC-coupled and polarity is irrelevant. In DC-biased lines (e.g., 12 V supply rail), using the bidirectional part eliminates polarity concerns but does not improve clamping performance - and may increase leakage slightly due to dual-junction structure.
