Product details
Overview
P6SMB75A-E3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in power rails and signal lines. It features a 75 V standoff voltage (VWM), 71.3–78.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 103 V clamping voltage (VC) at 5.8 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power capability with a 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed in automotive, industrial, and telecom power supply inputs.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB75A-E3/5B datasheet, P6SMB75A-E3/5B pinout, P6SMB75A-E3/5B application, or P6SMB75A-E3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, SMB (DO-214AA) package compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification status (via HE3/HM3 variants), thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), and clamping performance under repetitive surge conditions.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: during transients exceeding VBR, it avalanches to divert surge current away from downstream circuitry while maintaining VC ≤ 103 V. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1 μA at 64.1 V) and fast response time (<1 ns), critical for safeguarding MOSFET gates and microcontroller I/O lines.
The device is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine) and operates across -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. Mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads, it delivers full 600 W pulse power only when thermally derated per Fig. 2 above TA = 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off) | 64.1 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; defines operating rail margin before clamping initiates |
| VBR (Breakdown) | 71.3–78.8 V at 1 mA - precise avalanche onset range ensuring consistent turn-on across production lots |
| VC (Clamping) | 103 V at IPPM = 5.8 A - peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case 10/1000 μs transient |
| PPPM | 600 W - surge energy handling capacity with standardized 10/1000 μs waveform at 0.01% duty cycle |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient; requires PCB copper area planning for sustained power dissipation |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with 5.59 mm × 4.06 mm footprint and matte tin-plated leads |
| AEC-Q101 | Not qualified for P6SMB75A-E3/5B - qualification applies only to HE3/HM3 suffix variants (e.g., P6SMB75AHE3_B) |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability rating; cathode indicated by band on body; terminals are matte tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002/JESD 22-B102.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side connection point | Connected to ground or low-voltage reference; completes shunt path during avalanche conduction |
| Cathode | High-side connection point | Connected to protected line (e.g., 48 V rail); polarity band identifies this terminal for unidirectional operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power | Enables protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV/2 Ω) on 24–48 V systems without cascaded stages |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures long-term stability of VBR and leakage under thermal cycling and humidity exposure |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Supports standard lead-free reflow profiles without preconditioning or dry-pack requirements |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients (e.g., ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a/5a in automotive) |
| RoHS-compliant, commercial grade | E3 suffix confirms compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; suitable for non-automotive industrial deployments |
Applications
| Industrial Power Input Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) Supply Rail |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ75A | Same SMB package, identical VWM/VBR/VC specs, but lower PPPM (400 W vs. 600 W); RθJA = 110 °C/W | Limited to lower-energy transients (e.g., IEC 61000-4-4 EFT, not full IEC 61000-4-5) | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 600 W surge headroom and thermal margin is constrained |
| 1.5SMC75A | Higher-power SMC package (7.11 mm × 6.22 mm), same electrical specs, PPPM = 1500 W, RθJA = 60 °C/W | Requires larger PCB area; suited for high-reliability industrial power supplies with frequent surges | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W or long-term thermal cycling demands lower junction rise |
Compared with SMAJ75A and 1.5SMC75A, P6SMB75A-E3/5B delivers optimal balance of 600 W surge capability, SMB footprint compatibility, and commercial-grade cost structure - making it ideal for space-constrained 24–48 V systems where full IEC 61000-4-5 compliance is required without SMC-level board real estate.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the P6SMB75A-E3/5B under maximum surge conditions?
The P6SMB75A-E3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 103 V at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 5.8 A, measured using the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value represents the highest voltage imposed on the protected circuit during worst-case transient events, and it is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range per the Vishay datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024. Engineers must verify layout thermal relief to maintain this clamping performance in sustained surge scenarios.
Is the P6SMB75A-E3/5B AEC-Q101 qualified?
No, the P6SMB75A-E3/5B is not AEC-Q101 qualified. The E3 suffix denotes RoHS-compliant commercial-grade construction. AEC-Q101 qualification is available only on variants with HE3 or HM3 suffixes (e.g., P6SMB75AHE3_B), which undergo additional stress testing for automotive under-hood applications. For automotive use, P6SMB75A-E3/5B requires validation per customer-specific reliability requirements, as it lacks the certified qualification record.
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) and why does it matter for P6SMB75A-E3/5B placement?
The P6SMB75A-E3/5B has a standoff voltage (VWM) of 64.1 V - the maximum continuous reverse voltage it can block without entering avalanche conduction. This parameter determines safe placement relative to system operating voltage: for example, it is appropriate for 48 V nominal rails where normal operation stays below 64.1 V, but unsuitable for 72 V systems where leakage or premature clamping would occur. Designers must ensure VWM exceeds peak steady-state voltage by ≥10% to avoid false triggering.
How does the SMB (DO-214AA) package of P6SMB75A-E3/5B affect PCB layout?
The SMB (DO-214AA) package of P6SMB75A-E3/5B measures 4.06 mm × 5.59 mm with 2.18 mm minimum cathode-band-to-pad spacing. Per Vishay's mechanical data, optimal thermal performance requires mounting on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal; smaller pads reduce pulse power derating. The package supports automated pick-and-place and lead-free reflow (MSL Level 1), but its 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance mandates careful copper pour design to avoid thermal runaway during repeated surges.
Can P6SMB75A-E3/5B be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, P6SMB75A-E3/5B is strictly unidirectional, as indicated by the "A" suffix and cathode band marking. Bidirectional operation requires the "CA" suffix variant (e.g., P6SMB75CA). Using P6SMB75A-E3/5B in reverse-biased AC signal paths will result in forward conduction and failure. For bidirectional protection such as RS-485 or CAN bus lines, select P6SMB75CA-E3/5B or equivalent, which exhibits symmetrical clamping in both polarities.
