Product details
Overview
P6SMB75AHM3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, rated for 75 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 71.3–78.8 V at IT = 1.0 mA), 103 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 5.8 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform). It protects sensitive ICs and MOSFETs against inductive switching transients and ESD in automotive and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB75AHM3_B/H datasheet, P6SMB75AHM3_B/H pinout, P6SMB75AHM3_B/H application, or P6SMB75AHM3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected circuit's absolute maximum rating, thermal derating above 25 °C ambient, unidirectional polarity alignment with DC bias, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive use cases.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamping surge protector: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (>1 µA leakage at 64.1 V stand-off), but conducts heavily when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold, limiting transient energy via low incremental surge resistance. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and fast response (<1 ns).
Designed for surface-mount assembly on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads, it delivers 600 W peak pulse power with 0.01% duty cycle, and supports repetitive surge events only when thermally managed-junction temperature must remain ≤150 °C, with RθJA = 100 °C/W in still air.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 71.3 V / 78.8 V at 1.0 mA test current - defines precise conduction onset window for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 64.1 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage begins |
| VC @ IPPM | 103 V at 5.8 A - clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case 10/1000 µs surge |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient power dissipation capability without failure under standardized waveform |
| IFSM | 100 A - non-repetitive forward surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine), relevant for fault-current limiting |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - maximum junction temperature limit; requires thermal design to avoid derating below 600 W at elevated ambient |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - industry-standard 2-pin SMD outline with 2.2 mm height, compatible with automated pick-and-place |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 rated, MSL Level 1 (260 °C reflow peak).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when voltage exceeds VBR |
| Anode | Reference/ground return | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return path; completes clamping loop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| 600 W peak pulse power | Withstands high-energy transients such as ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a without degradation when properly mounted |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.37) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on downstream components compared to higher-ratio TVS devices |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | Meets environmental compliance mandates for industrial and consumer electronics manufacturing |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Enables standard reflow soldering without pre-baking, reducing production complexity and cost |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ75A-E3/5B | Same VBR range (71.3–78.8 V), lower PPPM = 400 W, SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA) | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; suitable for commercial-grade consumer products only | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy is ≤400 W; verify thermal performance with smaller pad area |
| 1.5SMC75A-H | Same electrical specs, but SMC (DO-214AB) package - larger body, lower RθJA = 60 °C/W, higher IPPM = 6.5 A | Preferred for high-reliability industrial systems requiring enhanced thermal robustness and higher surge margin | Choose when sustained surge repetition or elevated ambient temperatures demand better heat dissipation |
Compared with P6SMB75AHM3_B/H, SMAJ75A-E3/5B offers space savings but reduced surge handling and automotive qualification, while 1.5SMC75A-H provides superior thermal performance and higher peak current capacity at the cost of larger PCB footprint.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for P6SMB75AHM3_B/H?
The P6SMB75AHM3_B/H has a specified breakdown voltage range of 71.3 V to 78.8 V at 1.0 mA test current, corresponding to a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 75 V rating. This tight VBR distribution ensures predictable clamping onset across production lots and supports robust design margins in automotive and industrial applications where overvoltage thresholds must be precisely controlled. The P6SMB75AHM3_B/H datasheet confirms this range under "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table.
Is P6SMB75AHM3_B/H suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, P6SMB75AHM3_B/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "A" suffix and cathode band marking. It conducts only in reverse bias and must be oriented with cathode toward the protected line. For bidirectional protection, Vishay offers the P6SMB75CA variant. Using P6SMB75AHM3_B/H in AC or floating signal paths without proper DC biasing will result in unintended forward conduction and potential failure. Always verify polarity alignment in schematic and layout for P6SMB75AHM3_B/H.
Does P6SMB75AHM3_B/H meet AEC-Q101 requirements?
Yes, P6SMB75AHM3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "_B/H" suffix in the ordering code and documentation in the Vishay P6SMB datasheet (Rev. 09-Jan-2024, Note 1 on page 3). This qualification covers stress tests including HTGB, HTRB, TCT, and ESD, validating suitability for automotive under-hood and cabin applications. The "HM3" prefix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction, and "B" indicates AEC-Q101 qualification level for the 6.8 V to 220 V voltage range.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6SMB75AHM3_B/H at rated peak pulse current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of P6SMB75AHM3_B/H is 103 V at 5.8 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value represents the upper limit of voltage imposed on the protected circuit during worst-case surge events and is critical for verifying margin against downstream component absolute maximum ratings. The P6SMB75AHM3_B/H achieves this with a clamping ratio of approximately 1.37 (103 V / 75 V nominal), indicating efficient energy diversion.
Can P6SMB75AHM3_B/H be used in place of P6SMB75A-E3/52?
P6SMB75AHM3_B/H is not a direct drop-in replacement for P6SMB75A-E3/52 due to differences in qualification and packaging: P6SMB75AHM3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and halogen-free (HM3), whereas P6SMB75A-E3/52 is commercial-grade, RoHS-compliant but not automotive-qualified (E3). Electrically they share identical VBR, VC, and PPPM, but P6SMB75AHM3_B/H requires validation for automotive use cases where E3 variants are insufficient. Always confirm qualification requirements before substitution.
