Product details
Overview
P6SMB75AHM3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 71.3 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 64.1 V standoff voltage (VWM), 103 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 5.8 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power capability with 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB75AHM3/I datasheet, P6SMB75AHM3/I pinout, P6SMB75AHM3/I application, or P6SMB75AHM3/I equivalent, this device is selected for robust overvoltage protection where low-profile SMT placement, AEC-Q101 qualification (via HM3 suffix), and stable clamping under repetitive surge conditions are required.
Technical Context
The P6SMB75AHM3/I operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds its VBR threshold (71.3–78.8 V), with cathode-band polarity marking. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM) and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling suppression of ESD and inductive switching spikes before sensitive circuitry is damaged.
Thermally, it delivers 5.0 W steady-state power dissipation at 50 °C ambient and supports 100 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), while maintaining 150 °C max junction temperature. The SMB package provides 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Standoff) | 64.1 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; defines safe operating margin below clamping onset |
| VBR (Breakdown) | 71.3–78.8 V at 1 mA - Avalanche conduction initiates within this range, ensuring predictable turn-on during transients |
| VC (Clamping) | 103 V at 5.8 A (10/1000 μs) - Limits downstream voltage to ≤103 V during 600 W surge, protecting 75 V-rated components |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak transient energy handling capacity with standardized 10/1000 μs waveform; validated per Fig. 1 |
| IPPM | 5.8 A - Peak pulse current corresponding to VC; determines minimum trace width and PCB copper area needed |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive or high-ambient industrial environments |

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 VWM (64.1 V), identical SMB package, but lower PPPM (400 W) and higher VC (121 V at 3.3 A) | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a compliance | Select P6SMB75AHM3/I when 600 W surge handling and tighter clamping (103 V vs. 121 V) are required for automotive or industrial robustness |
| 1.5SMC75A | Higher package thermal resistance (RθJA = 125 °C/W vs. 100 °C/W), same VBR range but SMC (DO-214AB) package (larger footprint) | Requires more PCB area; less suitable for dense layouts or automated placement with tight pitch | Choose P6SMB75AHM3/I for space-constrained designs needing AEC-Q101 qualification and optimized thermal performance in SMB form factor |
Compared with SMAJ75A-E3/5B and 1.5SMC75A, the P6SMB75AHM3/I delivers superior surge robustness (600 W), lower clamping voltage (103 V), and automotive qualification in the smallest standard SMT TVS package - making it optimal for high-reliability, space-limited overvoltage protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the P6SMB75AHM3/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The P6SMB75AHM3/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 is measured per Figure 1 in the Vishay datasheet 88370 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a 600 W transient event. The P6SMB75AHM3/I maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is the P6SMB75AHM3/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the P6SMB75AHM3/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HM3" suffix indicating halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with automotive-grade reliability testing. It meets requirements for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and surge endurance - making the P6SMB75AHM3/I appropriate for under-hood and body electronics such as BCMs and ADAS power domains.
What does the "HM3" suffix mean in P6SMB75AHM3/I?
The "HM3" suffix in P6SMB75AHM3/I denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification, and the "I" indicates packaging in 13-inch tape-and-reel (3200 units per reel). This distinguishes it from commercial-grade "M3" variants and confirms that the P6SMB75AHM3/I meets automotive reliability standards without compromising SMT process compatibility.
How does the P6SMB75AHM3/I compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in the same series?
The P6SMB75AHM3/I is unidirectional, meaning it protects only against reverse-polarity transients on a positive rail, with polarity marked by a cathode band. Bidirectional variants (e.g., P6SMB75CA) suppress surges in both directions and lack polarity marking. The P6SMB75AHM3/I offers lower leakage and is preferred for DC power line protection, whereas bidirectional types suit AC or differential signal lines like RS-485.
What PCB layout considerations apply to the P6SMB75AHM3/I for optimal surge performance?
For rated 600 W performance, the P6SMB75AHM3/I requires 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, per Vishay's mechanical data. Minimizing trace inductance between the P6SMB75AHM3/I and protected node - especially the ground path - is critical to avoid voltage overshoot. Thermal relief should be avoided on pads to maintain low RθJL (20 °C/W).
