Product details
Overview
P6SMB75AHM3_B/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in the P6SMB series, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 75 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max = 71.3–78.8 V at 1 mA), 64.1 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 103 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 5.8 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB75AHM3_B/I datasheet, P6SMB75AHM3_B/I pinout, P6SMB75AHM3_B/I application, or P6SMB75AHM3_B/I equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification (HM3 suffix), halogen-free RoHS compliance, SMB (DO-214AA) package, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, and thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient).
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with sensitive circuit nodes, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds VWM (64.1 V) and entering avalanche breakdown above VBR (71.3–78.8 V). Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time ensure effective suppression of ESD and inductive switching transients.
The device is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM), supports continuous power dissipation of 5.0 W at 50 °C on infinite heatsink, and maintains operation across -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range - validated per JESD22-B102 solderability and J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 reflow profile (260 °C peak).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 71.3 V / 78.8 V at 1 mA - defines precise avalanche onset threshold for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 64.1 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | 103 V at 5.8 A - clamped voltage during 600 W transient, limiting stress on downstream components |
| PPPM | 600 W with 10/1000 μs waveform - peak transient energy handling capability under standardized surge test |
| IFSM | 100 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - surge current robustness for inductive load switching events |
| TJ max | +150 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial environments |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - thermal performance baseline for PCB pad layout design (0.2" × 0.2" copper pads) |

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-E3/5B | Same SMB package, 75 V VBR, but rated for 400 W PPPM and not AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited to commercial-grade consumer/industrial use; lacks automotive reliability validation | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements |
| 1.5SMC75AHE3_A/H | Higher-power SMC package (1500 W PPPM), same 75 V VBR, AEC-Q101 qualified, but larger footprint | Used where higher surge margin is required and PCB space allows SMC (DO-214AB) footprint | Choose for enhanced surge immunity in harsher environments, accepting larger board area |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of P6SMB75AHM3_B/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The P6SMB75AHM3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 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 seen by protected circuitry during a full-rated transient event, ensuring downstream components remain within safe operating limits. The clamping behavior is consistent across the device's qualified temperature range (-65 °C to +150 °C).
Is P6SMB75AHM3_B/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, P6SMB75AHM3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HM3" suffix (halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and automotive-grade). It undergoes rigorous stress testing including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and ESD verification per JEDEC standards. The device is explicitly recommended for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power domains where transient immunity and long-term reliability are critical.
What does the "_B/I" suffix mean in P6SMB75AHM3_B/I?
The "_B" denotes AEC-Q101 qualification for the P6SMB75A variant (applicable to devices from P6SMB6.8A through P6SMB220A), while "/I" specifies packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with 3200 units per reel. This format supports high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly and aligns with Vishay's ordering nomenclature for automotive-grade, halogen-free TVS diodes.
How does the thermal resistance of P6SMB75AHM3_B/I affect PCB layout?
P6SMB75AHM3_B/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W, measured on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. To maintain safe junction temperatures under sustained power dissipation, designers must provide adequate copper area and consider airflow or adjacent heat sources. Reducing pad size or omitting thermal vias increases RθJA, potentially exceeding the +150 °C TJ max during repeated transients.
Can P6SMB75AHM3_B/I be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, P6SMB75AHM3_B/I is a unidirectional TVS diode, as confirmed by its part number ending in "A" (not "CA") and explicit designation in Vishay's ordering table. Bidirectional variants use the "CA" suffix (e.g., P6SMB75CA). Using this unidirectional device in a bidirectional application would result in forward conduction during negative transients, potentially causing failure or incorrect clamping behavior.
