Product details
Overview
P6SMB75AHE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, rated for 75 V standoff voltage (VWM), 71.3–78.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, and 103 V clamping voltage (VC) at 5.8 A peak pulse current (IPPM), designed to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients and ESD in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB75AHE3/52 datasheet, P6SMB75AHE3/52 pinout, P6SMB75AHE3/52 application, or P6SMB75AHE3/52 equivalent, this AEC-Q101 qualified TVS offers verified 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), low incremental surge resistance, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity - critical for high-reliability automotive ECUs and industrial motor drives requiring robust overvoltage immunity without layout redesign.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates with a cathode-band-marked polarity and exhibits fast response time (<1 ns) to transient events, enabling effective suppression of sub-microsecond voltage spikes induced by relay coil de-energization or MOSFET switching. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance and long-term reliability under thermal cycling.
The device delivers 600 W peak pulse power per 10/1000 μs waveform at TA = 25 °C, derated linearly above 25 °C with RθJA = 100 °C/W, and supports repetitive surge duty cycles up to 0.01 %. It maintains ≤1.0 μA reverse leakage at 64.1 V (VWM) and achieves clamping within 103 V at 5.8 A IPPM - key for safeguarding 75 V-rated power rails and gate drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 64.1 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; defines safe operating margin for 75 V nominal systems. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 71.3–78.8 V at IT = 1 mA - precise voltage threshold where avalanche conduction initiates; ensures predictable turn-on during transients. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 103 V at IPPM = 5.8 A - maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during 600 W transient; limits stress on downstream 75 V-rated components. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W (10/1000 μs) - energy-handling capacity for standardized surge waveforms; sufficient for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV/2 Ω) compliance. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | ≤1.0 μA at VWM - negligible standby current draw; avoids power loss or false triggering in low-power sensor interfaces. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and enclosed industrial enclosures without thermal shutdown. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per AEC standard; suitable for engine control modules. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, matte tin-plated leads, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free (HE3 suffix), MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Anode-side connection in unidirectional configuration | Connected to protected line (e.g., 75 V rail); clamps to cathode when voltage exceeds VBR - requires correct orientation to avoid forward conduction. |
| Anode | Reference/ground return path | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return plane; forms current loop during clamping - PCB layout must minimize inductance here. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage across -65 °C to +150 °C; eliminates passivation-related drift in harsh thermal environments. |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Handles repeated surges from inductive loads (e.g., solenoids, relays) without degradation - validated for ≥1000 pulses at rated conditions. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.39) | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during clamping; protects sensitive gate oxides and logic inputs more effectively than higher-ratio TVS devices. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification (HE3 suffix) | Confirms suitability for automotive applications including powertrain and body electronics - includes HTGB, AC-H3TRB, and mechanical shock testing. |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Allows unlimited floor life and standard SMT reflow without baking; reduces manufacturing complexity and cost in high-volume automotive assembly. |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Input Protection | Industrial PLC Digital Input Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects 75 V battery-supplied microcontroller power rail from load dump and alternator ripple transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between input rail and chassis ground to clamp positive-going surges above 75 V.

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-E3/52 | Same SMB package, 75 V VWM, but lower PPPM (400 W) and higher VC (121 V at 3.3 A); no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Limited to commercial-grade consumer/industrial use; insufficient for automotive load-dump immunity per ISO 7637-2. | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements and surge energy stays below 400 W. |
| 1.5SMC75A | Higher-power SMC package (1500 W PPPM), same VWM/VC specs, but larger footprint (7.11 × 6.22 mm vs. SMB's 4.57 × 3.94 mm) and no AEC-Q101 variant. | Suitable for high-energy industrial surge zones but incompatible with space-constrained automotive PCBs. | Choose when board area permits and system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W - not a drop-in replacement due to package mismatch. |
Compared with SMAJ75A-E3/52 and 1.5SMC75A, P6SMB75AHE3/52 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, SMB footprint, and 600 W capability - making it the only option meeting automotive functional safety requirements without increasing PCB area or compromising surge margin.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of P6SMB75AHE3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The P6SMB75AHE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 103 V at 5.8 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during transient events - critical for ensuring compatibility with 80 V-rated downstream components in automotive power systems.
Is P6SMB75AHE3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, P6SMB75AHE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified and manufactured with HE3 suffix indicating automotive-grade reliability. It passes temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and ESD validation per AEC-Q101 Rev D. Its 150 °C maximum junction temperature and MSL Level 1 rating make it appropriate for under-hood engine control modules and body electronics where thermal and mechanical robustness are mandatory.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in P6SMB75AHE3/52?
The "HE3" suffix in P6SMB75AHE3/52 denotes RoHS-compliant, halogen-free construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this automotive-grade variant from commercial versions (e.g., P6SMB75A-E3/52), confirming compliance with automotive reliability standards, material restrictions, and process controls required for safety-critical vehicle systems.
How does P6SMB75AHE3/52 differ from bidirectional variants like P6SMB75CA?
P6SMB75AHE3/52 is unidirectional with cathode marking and conducts only in reverse bias, while P6SMB75CA is bidirectional and symmetrical - clamping both positive and negative transients. The unidirectional version offers lower leakage (<1.0 μA) and tighter VBR tolerance, making it preferred for DC power rail protection; the bidirectional type suits AC signal lines or differential buses where polarity reversal occurs.
What is the thermal resistance of P6SMB75AHE3/52, and how does it affect PCB layout?
P6SMB75AHE3/52 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. To maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C under 5.0 W steady-state dissipation, designers must provide adequate copper area and consider airflow - undersized pads or lack of thermal vias will cause premature thermal derating and reduced surge endurance.
