Product details
Overview
P6SMB75CAHM3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in 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 (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power capability with 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB75CAHM3/H datasheet, P6SMB75CAHM3/H pinout, P6SMB75CAHM3/H application, or P6SMB75CAHM3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping symmetry, AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free RoHS compliance, and thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W) under PCB pad-limited cooling conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: during transient overvoltage events exceeding its breakdown threshold, it avalanches to divert surge current away from downstream circuitry while maintaining clamped voltage below 103 V. Its bidirectional structure enables symmetric protection on AC-coupled or floating lines without polarity sensitivity.
Designed for automated SMT assembly, it uses glass-passivated junction technology and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. The SMB package meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL level 1 (peak reflow ≤ 260 °C), supporting high-reliability production 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75CA-T | Same SMB package, 75 V VWM, but rated for 600 W with 8.3 ms sine-wave surge (not 10/1000 μs); higher IPPM (6.5 A), lower VC (103 V same) | Optimized for longer-duration surges (e.g., AC mains coupling); less effective for fast ESD pulses due to slower response | Select P6SMB75CAHM3/H for automotive AEC-Q101 compliance and standardized 10/1000 μs surge validation. |
| 1.5SMC75CA | Larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; same 75 V VWM and 103 V VC, but higher PPPM (1500 W); RθJA = 40 °C/W vs. 100 °C/W | Requires more PCB area; better thermal performance allows higher sustained surge duty cycles | Choose P6SMB75CAHM3/H where space-constrained layouts or AEC-Q101 qualification are mandatory. |

FAQ
What does the 'CA' suffix indicate in P6SMB75CAHM3/H?
The 'CA' suffix in P6SMB75CAHM3/H denotes a bidirectional configuration, meaning the device provides symmetrical transient voltage suppression in both polarities - essential for protecting AC-coupled, differential, or floating signal lines without polarity constraints. This differs from unidirectional variants (e.g., P6SMB75AHM3/H) that require correct cathode orientation relative to ground.
Is P6SMB75CAHM3/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, P6SMB75CAHM3/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the 'HM3' suffix indicating halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with full automotive stress testing - including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling. This makes P6SMB75CAHM3/H suitable for under-hood and body-control module deployments.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6SMB75CAHM3/H and under what test condition?
The maximum clamping voltage of P6SMB75CAHM3/H is 103 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 5.8 A using the standardized 10/1000 μs double-exponential surge waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transient events, directly impacting downstream component survivability.
How does the SMB (DO-214AA) package of P6SMB75CAHM3/H compare thermally to larger packages like SMC?
P6SMB75CAHM3/H in SMB (DO-214AA) has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads - significantly higher than SMC-packaged equivalents (e.g., 1.5SMC75CA at ~40 °C/W). This requires stricter derating above 25 °C ambient and limits repetitive surge duty cycle unless enhanced PCB copper is used.
Can P6SMB75CAHM3/H be used in place of a unidirectional TVS like P6SMB75AHM3/H?
No - P6SMB75CAHM3/H is bidirectional and lacks polarity marking, while P6SMB75AHM3/H is unidirectional with a cathode band. Substituting them without circuit review risks incorrect clamping behavior on DC-biased lines. Use P6SMB75CAHM3/H only where symmetrical protection is required; for DC rails referenced to ground, the unidirectional variant remains appropriate.
