Product details
Overview
P6SMB75CAHM3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features a 75 V standoff voltage (VWM), 82.9 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 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 - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB75CAHM3_B/H datasheet, P6SMB75CAHM3_B/H pinout, P6SMB75CAHM3_B/H application, or P6SMB75CAHM3_B/H equivalent, this device is selected for robust ESD and surge protection where bidirectional clamping, AEC-Q101 qualification, and low-profile SMB packaging are required in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The P6SMB75CAHM3_B/H operates as a bidirectional avalanche diode, symmetrically clamping transient overvoltages in both polarities without polarity marking. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 μA at 64.1 V), while its MSL Level 1 rating supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C.
It delivers 600 W peak pulse power handling under standardized 10/1000 μs surge conditions, with thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead), enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature in properly laid-out PCBs with 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 64.1 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC/AC working range. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 71.3–78.8 V at 1 mA - Voltage at which avalanche conduction initiates; ensures predictable turn-on during transients. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 103 V at 5.8 A IPPM - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 μs surge; determines stress on downstream components. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Maximum transient energy absorption capability; validates suitability for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3/4 surge testing. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | <1.0 μA at VWM - Minimal standby power loss and signal integrity impact in high-impedance circuits. |

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-E3/5B | Same VWM (64.1 V), lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 140 °C/W) | Lower surge margin; suitable only for light-duty consumer applications with derated layout. | Select when board space is critical and surge threat level is ≤ IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2. |
| 1.5SMC75CA | Same VWM and clamping, but SMC package (larger, 7.1 mm × 6.2 mm), higher thermal mass, RθJA = 60 °C/W | Better thermal performance for high-repetition surges; requires more PCB area. | Choose for industrial power supplies needing sustained surge resilience and easier manual rework. |
Compared with SMAJ75CA-E3/5B, P6SMB75CAHM3_B/H offers 50 % higher surge power headroom and superior thermal dissipation in the same height profile; versus 1.5SMC75CA, it saves >40 % board area while maintaining AEC-Q101 qualification - making it optimal for automotive and compact industrial designs.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in P6SMB75CAHM3_B/H?
The "CA" suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration: the P6SMB75CAHM3_B/H conducts and clamps symmetrically in both polarities, eliminating the need for polarity-aware placement on PCBs. This differs from unidirectional variants (e.g., P6SMB75AHM3_B/H) that require correct anode/cathode orientation. The CA version is ideal for AC-coupled lines, differential buses, and floating grounds.
Is P6SMB75CAHM3_B/H suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 surge testing?
Yes, P6SMB75CAHM3_B/H is rated for 600 W peak pulse power with a 10/1000 μs waveform - meeting the energy requirement for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV open-circuit, 12 Ω source impedance) and Level 4 (2 kV) when applied with proper PCB layout (e.g., 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads). Its 103 V clamping voltage ensures protected ICs remain within safe operating limits.
How does the HM3_B suffix differ from standard M3 or E3 versions?
The HM3_B suffix indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction plus AEC-Q101 qualification - verified for automotive use under temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing. Standard M3 parts lack AEC-Q101 validation, and E3 parts are commercial-grade only; HM3_B ensures long-term reliability in under-hood and chassis-mounted applications.
What is the maximum operating temperature for P6SMB75CAHM3_B/H?
The P6SMB75CAHM3_B/H has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C, validated per AEC-Q101. At ambient temperatures up to +105 °C, it sustains full 600 W surge capability when mounted on recommended 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads. Derating applies above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in the datasheet, with 50 % power capability retained at TJ = 125 °C.
Can P6SMB75CAHM3_B/H replace P6SMB75A in existing designs?
No - P6SMB75CAHM3_B/H is bidirectional, whereas P6SMB75A is unidirectional. Substituting them without circuit review risks improper clamping during negative transients or forward conduction in DC-biased paths. If replacing P6SMB75A, verify that the application truly requires bidirectional behavior and confirm no DC bias exceeds the device's 64.1 V standoff rating in either polarity.
