Product details
Overview
P6SMB7.5CAHM3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal and power lines. It features a 7.5 V standoff voltage (VWM), 11.3 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 53.1 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - used in automotive sensor protection, industrial I/O interfaces, and telecom line surge suppression.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB7.5CAHM3_B/H datasheet, P6SMB7.5CAHM3_B/H pinout, P6SMB7.5CAHM3_B/H application, or P6SMB7.5CAHM3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free RoHS compliance, low thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This device operates as a bidirectional avalanche diode, symmetrically clamping both positive and negative transients without polarity dependence. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior and fast response time (<1 ns), while the SMB package supports high surge current handling (53.1 A IPPM) with minimal incremental surge resistance.
Designed for repetitive surge events at 0.01% duty cycle, it maintains clamping performance across -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. The 7.13–7.88 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 10 mA test current and 0.061 %/°C temperature coefficient ensure predictable voltage threshold stability under thermal variation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off) | 6.40 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before conduction begins; defines safe operating margin below clamping threshold. |
| VBR (Breakdown) | 7.13–7.88 V at 10 mA - Verified avalanche onset range; ensures reliable triggering during ESD or lightning-induced surges. |
| VC (Clamping) | 11.3 V at 53.1 A - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 μs transient; determines downstream component stress level. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power dissipation capability with standard 10/1000 μs waveform; enables robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 surges. |
| IPPM | 53.1 A - Maximum non-repetitive peak pulse current; defines surge current handling limit before degradation. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; supports operation in under-hood automotive and industrial environments. |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables effective heat transfer to PCB copper pads without external heatsink. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow). Dimensions: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm (L × W × H); matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ7.5CA | Same VWM (6.4 V), lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 150 °C/W). | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 without derating. | Select when board space is constrained and surge threat level is ≤ Level 2. |
| 1.5SMC7.5CA | Same VWM and VC, higher PPPM (1500 W), larger SMC package (DO-214AB), non-AEC-Q101 rated. | Supports higher surge repetition rates but lacks automotive qualification and has longer lead time. | Choose for industrial power supplies needing higher single-pulse margin where AEC-Q101 is not required. |
Compared with SMAJ7.5CA and 1.5SMC7.5CA, P6SMB7.5CAHM3_B/H uniquely balances 600 W surge capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, SMB footprint, and halogen-free compliance - making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial designs requiring certified reliability.

FAQ
What does the "HM3_B/H" suffix mean in P6SMB7.5CAHM3_B/H?
The "HM3" denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification; "B" indicates AEC-Q101 qualification for this voltage grade (6.8 V to 220 V); "H" specifies 7" diameter tape-and-reel packaging (750 units per reel). This suffix confirms full automotive-grade compliance and standardized SMT handling for P6SMB7.5CAHM3_B/H.
Is P6SMB7.5CAHM3_B/H unidirectional or bidirectional?
P6SMB7.5CAHM3_B/H is a bidirectional TVS diode, as confirmed by the "CA" suffix and electrical specifications applying equally in both directions. Its symmetrical breakdown and clamping behavior eliminate polarity concerns during PCB layout - unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., P6SMB7.5A) which require cathode-band orientation.
What is the maximum clamping voltage for P6SMB7.5CAHM3_B/H under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) for P6SMB7.5CAHM3_B/H is 11.3 V at 53.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed per Vishay's datasheet (Document Number: 88370, Rev. 09-Jan-2024) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during transient events.
Can P6SMB7.5CAHM3_B/H be used in place of P6SMB7.5A in existing designs?
No - P6SMB7.5CAHM3_B/H is bidirectional and AEC-Q101 qualified, whereas P6SMB7.5A is unidirectional and commercial-grade. Substituting requires verifying layout polarity, surge profile, and qualification requirements. P6SMB7.5CAHM3_B/H must be placed without orientation constraints, unlike the cathode-marked P6SMB7.5A.
What PCB pad layout is recommended for optimal thermal and surge performance of P6SMB7.5CAHM3_B/H?
Vishay specifies mounting P6SMB7.5CAHM3_B/H on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal to achieve rated 600 W pulse power and 53.1 A IPPM. Smaller pads reduce thermal dissipation and surge current capacity - use the exact dimensions shown in the SMB (DO-214AA) outline drawing (Document 88370, page 5) for P6SMB7.5CAHM3_B/H.
