Product details
Overview
P6SMB82CAH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional 600W surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, with breakdown voltage range 77.9–86.1 V, clamping voltage 113 V at 5.5 A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB82CAH datasheet, P6SMB82CAH pinout, P6SMB82CAH application, or P6SMB82CAH equivalent, this device is selected for ESD and ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b transient protection in automotive power electronics, lighting control modules, and industrial sensor interfaces where low-leakage (<1 µA @ 70.1 V), fast response (<1.0 ps), and robust clamping are required.
Technical Context
P6SMB82CAH is a bipolar (bidirectional) TVS diode designed to protect sensitive circuitry from high-energy transients in both polarity directions. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage, while its 10/1000 µs waveform rating supports compliance with ISO 7637-2 test pulses.
The device operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, features 10 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and maintains clamping performance under repetitive surge conditions when derated per ambient temperature (Fig.2). Its 70.1 V stand-off voltage enables reliable blocking during normal operation while allowing rapid conduction above 77.9 V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ85CA | Higher VBR (77.8–85.5 V), same DO-214AA package, 600 W rating | Marginally higher clamping (121 V) reduces protected circuit margin vs. P6SMB82CAH's 113 V | Select when system requires tighter VWM/VBR ratio and can tolerate higher VC |
| 1.5KE82CA | Through-hole DO-15 package, same VBR range, 1500 W rating but larger footprint | Not suitable for high-density SMT layouts; higher thermal mass slows response slightly | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or where higher single-pulse energy is needed |
Compared with SMBJ85CA and 1.5KE82CA, P6SMB82CAH delivers lower clamping voltage (113 V vs. 121 V/129 V) and SMT compatibility in automotive-grade packaging-critical for space-constrained, AEC-Q101-compliant modules requiring repeatable reflow assembly.

FAQ
What does the 'CAH' suffix indicate in P6SMB82CAH?
The 'CAH' suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration with AEC-Q101 qualification and halogen-free construction. Unlike unidirectional 'H' variants, P6SMB82CAH conducts symmetrically in both polarities-essential for protecting AC-coupled or dual-rail circuits without polarity concerns. This matches the exact marking code 'MTJ' specified in TSC's datasheet for P6SMB82CAH.
Is P6SMB82CAH compliant with ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 testing?
Yes, P6SMB82CAH is explicitly rated to meet ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (inductive load dump), Pulse 2a/2b (switching transients), and Pulse 3a/3b (electrical fast transients). Its 600 W peak pulse power rating and 113 V clamping voltage at 5.5 A ensure it limits voltage overshoot within safe thresholds for 12 V automotive electronics during standardized load-dump events.
What is the maximum junction temperature for P6SMB82CAH?
The maximum junction temperature for P6SMB82CAH is +150 °C, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating allows operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures where ambient temperatures exceed 105 °C, provided thermal design accounts for RθJA = 55 °C/W and RθJC = 10 °C/W.
How does P6SMB82CAH differ from P6SMB82AH?
P6SMB82AH is unidirectional with cathode marking and forward voltage specification; P6SMB82CAH is bidirectional with symmetrical breakdown and no polarity marking. Their VBR ranges differ slightly (P6SMB82AH: 73.8–90.2 V; P6SMB82CAH: 77.9–86.1 V), and P6SMB82CAH has tighter VC (113 V vs. 118 V) due to optimized doping and junction design for bidirectional clamping.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of P6SMB82CAH?
P6SMB82CAH has Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH without baking prior to reflow soldering. This eliminates dry-pack requirements and simplifies manufacturing logistics for high-volume SMT assembly lines producing automotive and industrial control boards.
