Product details
Overview
P6SMB510AHM3_C/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for high-energy surge protection in power rails and signal lines. It features a 510 V standoff voltage (VWM), 535 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 600 W peak pulse power rating (10/1000 μs), and clamps transients to ≤698 V at 0.86 A peak pulse current - deployed in industrial power supplies and automotive ECUs requiring robust overvoltage immunity.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB510AHM3_C/H datasheet, P6SMB510AHM3_C/H pinout, P6SMB510AHM3_C/H application, or P6SMB510AHM3_C/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification (HM3 suffix), halogen-free RoHS compliance, SMB (DO-214AA) package thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), and unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds VBR (485–535 V). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable avalanche characteristics and low incremental surge resistance under repetitive 10/1000 μs transients at 0.01% duty cycle.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal, it delivers 600 W peak pulse power with thermal derating above TA = 25 °C and supports operating junction temperatures up to +150 °C. The HM3 suffix confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101-qualified construction for automotive-grade reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 434 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; defines maximum operating DC bus voltage it can protect without conduction. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 485–535 V at 1 mA - Avalanche onset range; ensures precise, repeatable clamping initiation during fast transients. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | ≤698 V at IPPM = 0.86 A - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during full-rated surge; critical for IC/MOSFET voltage margin design. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W (10/1000 μs waveform) - Energy-handling capacity for standardized lightning/surge events; enables use in IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3/4 systems. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; supports operation in under-hood automotive or high-ambient industrial environments. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient; informs PCB copper pad sizing and airflow requirements for sustained power dissipation. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Low-profile SMD outline (4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm); compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, unidirectional configuration with cathode band marking. Terminals are matte tin-plated, solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and meet JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference node | Connected to ground or low-voltage rail; forms return path during avalanche conduction. |
| Cathode | High-side input node | Connected to protected line (e.g., 48 V supply rail); carries transient energy into the device during overvoltage events. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified (HM3 suffix) | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTOL, TCT, and ESD; supports under-hood and body-control module deployment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ510A-E3/5B | Same VWM (434 V), lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package (higher RθJA = 150 °C/W), non-AEC-Q101. | Limited to commercial-grade industrial controls; unsuitable for automotive due to lack of qualification and reduced surge margin. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance and 600 W surge headroom is not required. |
| 1.5SMC510AHE3_A/H | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs, identical 600 W rating, but SMC (DO-214AB) package (larger footprint, lower RθJA = 60 °C/W). | Better thermal performance in high-power density layouts; requires larger PCB area and may conflict with tight spacing constraints. | Choose when thermal management is prioritized over board space and AEC-Q101 is not mandatory. |
Compared with SMAJ510A-E3/5B, P6SMB510AHM3_C/H provides 50% higher surge power margin and automotive qualification; versus 1.5SMC510AHE3_A/H, it saves 30% board area while trading 40 °C/W higher thermal resistance - optimal for space-constrained AEC-Q101 designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P6SMB510AHM3_C/H under rated surge conditions?
The P6SMB510AHM3_C/H clamps to a maximum of 698 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 0.86 A (10/1000 μs waveform). This value is measured at the device terminals and represents the highest voltage the protected circuit will experience during a full 600 W transient event. Designers must ensure downstream components have sufficient voltage margin above this clamping level.
Is the P6SMB510AHM3_C/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the P6SMB510AHM3_C/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the HM3 suffix and Vishay's documentation. It meets stress test requirements for temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and ESD robustness - making it appropriate for under-hood and body electronics such as BCMs, ADAS power domains, and infotainment system power rails.
What does the "_C/H" suffix indicate in P6SMB510AHM3_C/H?
The "_C/H" suffix in P6SMB510AHM3_C/H denotes packaging configuration: "C" specifies the device marking code (510A), and "H" indicates 7-inch plastic tape-and-reel delivery (750 units per reel). This ordering code aligns with Vishay's standard format for AEC-Q101 qualified, halogen-free SMB-packaged TVS diodes.
How does the thermal performance of P6SMB510AHM3_C/H compare to larger-package alternatives?
The P6SMB510AHM3_C/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads. This is higher than SMC-packaged equivalents (e.g., 1.5SMC510AHE3_A/H at 60 °C/W) but optimized for space-constrained layouts. Adequate copper pour and airflow are essential to maintain TJ ≤150 °C during repetitive surges.
Can P6SMB510AHM3_C/H be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, P6SMB510AHM3_C/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, as indicated by the "A" suffix (not "CA") and cathode band marking. For bidirectional protection at similar voltage ratings, Vishay offers the P6SMB510CA variant - which lacks polarity marking and conducts symmetrically in both directions, suitable for AC lines or differential signal pairs.
