Product details
Overview
P6SMB82AHM3_B/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, rated for 82 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 77.9–86.1 V at 1 mA), 113 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 5.3 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power with 10/1000 μs waveform. It protects MOSFETs and signal lines in automotive sensor units against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB82AHM3_B/I datasheet, P6SMB82AHM3_B/I pinout, P6SMB82AHM3_B/I application, or P6SMB82AHM3_B/I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), junction temperature range (−65 to +150 °C), and halogen-free RoHS compliance per ordering code HM3_B/I.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates by avalanche breakdown to clamp transient overvoltages above its stand-off voltage (VWM = 70.1 V) while maintaining low leakage (<1 μA). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and fast response time (<1 ns).
Designed for automated SMT placement, it meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (peak reflow 260 °C) and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The cathode band identifies polarity, and its SMB package provides 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad thermal dissipation per terminal.

Use Scenario: Overvoltage protection for microcontroller GPIOs driving small brushed DC motors in smart home appliances (e.g., vacuum cleaners, blenders). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Localized TVS on motor driver output traces to prevent latch-up or gate oxide damage during commutation spikes. Use Value: Fast <1 ns response and low incremental surge resistance ensure clamping occurs before MCU I/O damage threshold (typically <2 kV HBM) is exceeded. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ82A-E3/5B | Same VBR range (77.9–86.1 V), but SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 140 °C/W), non-AEC-Q101, RoHS-compliant only | Limited to commercial-temperature industrial use; unsuitable for under-hood automotive due to lower thermal performance and qualification gap | Select when board space is constrained and automotive qualification is not required |
| 1.5SMC82A-Q | Same electrical specs, but SMC package (larger than SMB), AEC-Q101 qualified, halogen-free, higher PPPM margin (1500 W) | Higher surge margin supports harsher transients (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5b); requires larger PCB area and different pad layout | Select when enhanced surge immunity beyond 600 W is needed and layout allows SMC footprint |
Compared with P6SMB82AHM3_B/I, SMAJ82A-E3/5B offers smaller size but lacks automotive qualification and thermal robustness, while 1.5SMC82A-Q provides higher surge headroom and same qualification at the cost of larger board area-making P6SMB82AHM3_B/I the optimal balance of AEC-Q101 compliance, SMB footprint, and 600 W capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P6SMB82AHM3_B/I under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The P6SMB82AHM3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V at 5.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and ensures downstream components remain below their absolute maximum voltage ratings during transient events. The P6SMB82AHM3_B/I maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the P6SMB82AHM3_B/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the P6SMB82AHM3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HM3_B" suffix in its ordering code. It has passed stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and electrostatic discharge (ESD) per AEC-Q101 Rev D. This makes the P6SMB82AHM3_B/I suitable for under-hood and cabin electronics where reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is critical.
What does the "HM3_B/I" suffix mean in P6SMB82AHM3_B/I?
The "HM3" denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance; "B" indicates AEC-Q101 qualification for the 6.8 V to 220 V voltage range; "I" specifies 3200-unit quantity on 13-inch tape-and-reel packaging. Together, P6SMB82AHM3_B/I confirms the part meets automotive material, reliability, and logistics requirements-distinct from commercial-grade variants like E3 or M3.
How does the P6SMB82AHM3_B/I compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in the same series?
The P6SMB82AHM3_B/I is unidirectional, meaning it conducts only in reverse breakdown and blocks forward current-ideal for DC-biased lines like power rails or single-ended signal paths. Bidirectional variants (e.g., P6SMB82CA) conduct in both directions and are used for AC-coupled or differential lines such as USB or RS-485. The P6SMB82AHM3_B/I's 70.1 V stand-off voltage applies only in reverse; forward voltage drop is ~3.5 V at 50 A, unlike bidirectional types which lack defined forward conduction.
What is the thermal resistance of the P6SMB82AHM3_B/I, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The P6SMB82AHM3_B/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. To maintain safe junction temperatures under repeated surges, PCB layout must replicate this minimum pad area and avoid excessive trace narrowing. Reducing pad size increases RθJA, risking thermal runaway during high-duty-cycle transients-so the P6SMB82AHM3_B/I requires strict adherence to Vishay's recommended land pattern.
