Product details
Overview
P6SMB82CAHE3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection on signal and power lines. It features a 70.1 V standoff voltage (VWM), 77.9–86.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 113 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 5.3 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power capability with a 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive sensor interfaces, industrial I/O modules, and telecom line protection.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB82CAHE3/5B datasheet, P6SMB82CAHE3/5B pinout, P6SMB82CAHE3/5B application, or P6SMB82CAHE3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping symmetry, AEC-Q101 qualification, SMB (DO-214AA) package compatibility, and verified 150 °C junction temperature operation under repetitive surge conditions.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: during transient events exceeding VWM, it avalanches symmetrically in both directions to limit voltage across protected circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1 µA at 70.1 V) and fast response (<1 ns), while low incremental surge resistance enables effective energy diversion without thermal runaway.
The device is rated for 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), derated linearly above 25 °C ambient per Fig. 2, and supports repetitive surges at 0.01 % duty cycle. Thermal resistance is 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads, with 20 °C/W junction-to-lead for localized heat sinking.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ85CA | Higher VWM (72.2 V), higher VC (125 V), same SMB package and 600 W rating | Less margin between VWM and system nominal voltage; tighter fit for 75 V nominal rails | Select when operating voltage approaches 72 V and clamping margin allows 125 V excursion |
| 1.5SMC82CA | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; 1.5 kW rating | Requires PCB real estate increase; suited for higher-energy surge environments (e.g., AC mains input) | Choose only if system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W or thermal constraints demand lower RθJA |
Compared with SMAJ85CA and 1.5SMC82CA, P6SMB82CAHE3/5B offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 qualification, compact SMB footprint, and precise 70.1 V standoff - making it preferred for space-constrained automotive and industrial PCBs where 600 W surge handling suffices.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage of P6SMB82CAHE3/5B and how does it relate to system operating voltage?
The P6SMB82CAHE3/5B has a maximum reverse standoff voltage (VWM) of 70.1 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this DC or RMS voltage in either direction. This value provides ≥10 % margin above a typical 64 V nominal automotive or industrial rail, ensuring reliable blocking during normal operation while allowing rapid clamping during transients exceeding that threshold. The P6SMB82CAHE3/5B is therefore appropriate for 48 V–72 V systems where sustained overvoltage must be avoided.
Is P6SMB82CAHE3/5B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, P6SMB82CAHE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified (indicated by the "HE3" suffix and revision "B"), having passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and ESD per JESD22-A114. Its 150 °C maximum junction temperature, MSL Level 1 rating, and bidirectional clamping make it suitable for under-hood engine control units, ADAS camera modules, and body electronics where transient immunity and long-term reliability are critical. The P6SMB82CAHE3/5B meets automotive-grade manufacturing and traceability requirements.
How does the clamping performance of P6SMB82CAHE3/5B compare to its breakdown voltage?
The P6SMB82CAHE3/5B exhibits a clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V at 5.3 A, measured under a 10/1000 µs surge waveform, while its breakdown voltage (VBR) ranges from 77.9 V to 86.1 V at 1 mA. This yields a clamping ratio (VC/VBR) of approximately 1.45, indicating tight voltage control during surge events. That ratio ensures protected circuits experience minimal overvoltage beyond the avalanche onset - a key advantage of the P6SMB82CAHE3/5B in safeguarding sensitive 75 V-tolerant transceivers and power management ICs.
What is the thermal resistance of P6SMB82CAHE3/5B and how does it affect PCB layout?
P6SMB82CAHE3/5B 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 - as specified in the datasheet's test condition. To maintain safe junction temperatures during repetitive surges, designers must provide adequate copper area and avoid excessive trace length. Reducing pad size or omitting thermal vias increases RθJA, risking thermal runaway; thus, the P6SMB82CAHE3/5B requires adherence to Vishay's recommended mounting layout for rated performance.
Does P6SMB82CAHE3/5B have polarity markings, and how is it oriented on the PCB?
No, P6SMB82CAHE3/5B is a bidirectional TVS and carries no polarity marking - unlike unidirectional variants which feature a cathode band. Its symmetrical internal structure allows installation in either orientation on the PCB without affecting clamping behavior. This simplifies layout and eliminates risk of reverse placement during automated assembly. The absence of marking is consistent across all CA-suffixed P6SMB devices, including the P6SMB82CAHE3/5B, and is explicitly confirmed in the mechanical data section of the Vishay datasheet.
