Product details
Overview
P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in the P6SMB series, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features a 75 V standoff voltage (VWM), 103 V maximum clamping voltage at 5.8 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power capability with a 10/1000 μs waveform. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and RoHS-compliant, targeting automotive and industrial electronics protection.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I datasheet, P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I pinout, P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I application, or P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I equivalent, key selection considerations include bidirectional clamping behavior, 75 V reverse standoff rating, 103 V clamping voltage under 5.8 A surge, SMB (DO-214AA) package compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS diode operates symmetrically in both polarities, with breakdown voltage (VBR) specified at 85.5–94.5 V (min/max) and test current IT = 1.0 mA. Its low incremental surge resistance enables fast response to ESD and lightning-induced transients while maintaining stable clamping performance across temperature.
The device uses a glass-passivated junction and is mounted on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per JEDEC DO-214AA layout. Thermal resistance is 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead), supporting reliable operation up to TJ = +150 °C with 5.0 W steady-state power dissipation.

Applications
| Automotive Sensor Interface Protection | Industrial CAN Bus Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) in engine control units from load-dump spikes and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS clamping element placed directly at connector entry point before signal conditioning amplifier. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤103 V, preventing latch-up or damage to 5 V or 3.3 V ADC inputs while maintaining signal integrity below 75 V normal operation. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding CAN_H/CAN_L differential pair against ESD and ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a/5a surges in factory automation nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Paired TVS devices (one per line) providing symmetrical clamping referenced to ground. Use Value: Maintains CAN bus signal fidelity by clamping transients within 103 V while preserving <10 pF junction capacitance to avoid data rate degradation at 1 Mbps. |
| Consumer Power Adapter Input Stage | Telecom DSL Line Surge Protection |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side transient suppression on 12 V DC output rails of wall adapters exposed to mains-borne noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS shunting surge energy to ground after primary-side filtering. Use Value: Withstands repetitive 600 W pulses at 0.01% duty cycle, enabling robust protection without thermal runaway in compact enclosed designs. |
Use Scenario: Front-end protection for ADSL/VDSL line interface ICs subjected to lightning-induced longitudinal surges on twisted-pair copper lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional suppressor bridging tip/ring to ground, absorbing common-mode transients. Use Value: 75 V VWM ensures no conduction during normal ±40 V line signaling, while 103 V VC limits surge exposure to PHY-level transceivers rated for 120 V abs max. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ75CA | Same VWM (75 V) and VC (103 V), but 400 W PPPM rating and SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA) | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for automotive load-dump where 600 W is required | Select only if space-constrained and surge energy is confirmed ≤400 W |
| 1.5KE75CA | Through-hole TO-218 package, same 75 V VWM and 103 V VC, 1500 W PPPM rating | Not surface-mountable; requires PCB real estate and wave-solder process; higher mechanical robustness | Choose for legacy through-hole designs or where higher pulse energy margin is needed and SMT is not mandatory |
Compared with SMAJ75CA and 1.5KE75CA, P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I delivers optimal balance of 600 W surge capability, SMB footprint compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it the preferred choice for new automotive and industrial SMT designs requiring validated reliability and standardized mounting.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 103 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 5.8 A under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay document 88370 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events. The P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I maintains this clamping performance across its operational temperature range.
Is P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designated for automotive use via the "HE3" and "_B" suffixes in its ordering code. It meets stress test requirements including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and humidity testing. The P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I is commonly deployed in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules where certified reliability is mandatory.
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I?
The "CA" suffix in P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I denotes a bidirectional configuration-meaning the device provides symmetrical transient voltage suppression in both forward and reverse directions. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., P6SMB75A), the P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I has no cathode band marking and functions identically regardless of voltage polarity, making it ideal for AC-coupled or floating signal lines such as CAN bus or Ethernet pairs.
What is the thermal resistance of P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I, and how does it affect layout design?
P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W and junction-to-lead resistance (RθJL) of 20 °C/W, measured on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per JEDEC DO-214AA guidelines. These values require adherence to the recommended pad layout to ensure safe operation at 5.0 W steady-state dissipation and prevent thermal runaway during repetitive surges. Deviating from the specified copper area increases RθJA and reduces safe operating margins.
How does P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I compare to unidirectional P6SMB75AHE3_B/I in circuit implementation?
P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I differs from the unidirectional P6SMB75AHE3_B/I by offering symmetrical clamping without polarity constraints-eliminating the need for orientation-aware placement and enabling use on differential or AC signals. While both share identical VWM (75 V), VBR, and VC (103 V), only the unidirectional version supports forward conduction and IFSM (100 A surge), which is irrelevant for P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I's bidirectional role. Layouts using P6SMB75CAHE3_B/I omit cathode marking verification.
