Product details
Overview
P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in the P6SMB series, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features a 82 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max = 77.9 V / 86.1 V), 113 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 5.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive sensor interfaces, industrial I/O protection, and telecom line surge suppression.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I datasheet, P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I pinout, P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I application, or P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, SMB (DO-214AA) package compatibility, and verified 113 V clamping performance under 5.3 A transient stress.
Technical Context
This device operates as a bidirectional avalanche diode, symmetrically clamping both positive and negative transients without polarity dependence. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior and low leakage (<1.0 µA at 70.1 V stand-off), while thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W) supports operation up to +150 °C junction temperature.
The P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I delivers repeatable 600 W surge handling per JEDEC-standard 10/1000 µs waveform at 0.01% duty cycle. Its low incremental surge resistance enables fast response (<1 ns) and tight clamping ratio (VC/VBR(min) ≈ 1.45), critical for protecting downstream MOSFETs and ICs in automotive-grade systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

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 | 85 V VBR (min 80.8 V), 120 V VC at 5.0 A, same SMB package but non-AEC-Q101 rated | Commercial-grade only; not qualified for automotive temperature cycling or reliability testing | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements and clamping voltage margin allows 120 V tolerance |
| SMCJ85CA | Same VBR/VC specs but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; 1500 W PPPM rating | Higher power handling requires larger PCB area; thermal performance differs due to RθJA = 35 °C/W vs. 100 °C/W | Choose for higher-energy surge environments (e.g., AC mains coupling) where board space permits larger footprint and enhanced thermal mass |
Compared with SMAJ85CA and SMCJ85CA, the P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I offers tighter clamping (113 V vs. 120 V), automotive qualification, and optimized thermal profile for compact, high-reliability PCB layouts - making it preferred for space-constrained automotive and industrial edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I?
The P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 77.9 V to 86.1 V at 1 mA test current, measured in both directions due to its bidirectional construction. This specification is confirmed in Vishay's official P6SMB datasheet (Document Number: 88370, Rev. 09-Jan-2024) and applies directly to the P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I variant with HE3 automotive qualification suffix.
Is P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified - explicitly stated in the ordering information section of the Vishay datasheet, where "_B" denotes AEC-Q101 qualification for P6SMB6.8(C)A to P6SMB220(C)A devices. The HE3 suffix confirms RoHS-compliant and automotive-grade construction, making P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I appropriate for engine control, ADAS, and body electronics.
What does the "CA" suffix mean in P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I?
The "CA" suffix in P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I indicates a bidirectional configuration - meaning the device clamps voltage transients equally in both polarities, with no anode/cathode distinction. This is distinct from "A"-suffixed unidirectional parts and is confirmed in Vishay's documentation under "DEVICES FOR BIDIRECTION APPLICATIONS".
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I is 113 V at 5.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the Vishay P6SMB datasheet and represents the worst-case voltage imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge testing.
Does P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I have a defined polarity marking on the package?
No, P6SMB82CAHE3_B/I has no polarity marking - as a bidirectional TVS, it is symmetrical and functions identically regardless of orientation. The Vishay datasheet explicitly states "no marking on bidirectional types", and the SMB (DO-214AA) package uses identical terminals with no cathode band or other visual indicator.
