Product details
Overview
P6SMB82CAHM3/H 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 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-grade protection circuits for sensor interfaces and power rails.
For engineers reviewing the P6SMB82CAHM3/H datasheet, P6SMB82CAHM3/H pinout, P6SMB82CAHM3/H application, or P6SMB82CAHM3/H equivalent, this device is selected for bidirectional overvoltage protection where AEC-Q101 qualification, low incremental surge resistance, and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility are required in harsh-environment electronics.
Technical Context
The P6SMB82CAHM3/H operates as a symmetrical avalanche diode, conducting in both directions when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD, lightning-induced surges, and inductive switching transients.
Thermally, it supports operation from –65 °C to +150 °C with a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads). The halogen-free, RoHS-compliant HM3 suffix confirms AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance - critical for automotive and industrial reliability validation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off) | 70.1 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; defines operating margin below clamping threshold. |
| VBR (Breakdown) | 77.9–86.1 V at 1 mA - Guaranteed avalanche initiation range; ensures predictable turn-on under transient stress. |
| VC (Clamping) | 113 V at 5.3 A (10/1000 µs) - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge; limits downstream stress. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Sustains high-energy transients without failure; validated per IEC 61000-4-5 surge standards. |
| IPPM | 5.3 A - Peak surge current capability at rated clamping voltage; determines minimum trace width and layout robustness. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Enables use in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial enclosures. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Low-profile SMT package (4.57 mm × 3.94 mm) compatible with automated placement and reflow up to 260 °C. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, bidirectional - no polarity marking; symmetrical terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog output lines of temperature/pressure sensors in engine bay modules exposed to load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS clamp placed directly at connector entry point to shunt transients before reaching ADC input or op-amp buffer. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity under 12 V system load dump (ISO 16750-2) by limiting voltage to ≤113 V, preventing latch-up or damage to 16-bit SAR ADCs. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 24 V DC digital input channels on programmable logic controllers against field-wiring induced surges and relay coil flyback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-clamp TVS mounted across input terminals to absorb repetitive 10/1000 µs transients from inductive loads. Use Value: Enables >100,000 surge cycles at 5.3 A without parameter shift, extending maintenance intervals in factory automation systems. |
| Telecom Line Interface | Consumer Power Adapter Output |
|
Use Scenario: Shielding RS-485 transceiver bus lines in outdoor telecom cabinets from lightning-induced common-mode surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Paired bidirectional TVS devices on A/B lines referenced to ground, forming low-inductance surge path. Use Value: Clamps differential surges to <150 V while preserving signal rise/fall times due to sub-1 ns response and <100 pF junction capacitance. |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side overvoltage suppression on 5 V/12 V USB-C PD adapter outputs subjected to hot-plug and cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Final-stage TVS between output capacitor and connector to prevent voltage overshoot during dynamic load steps. Use Value: Limits output rail excursion to 113 V during 30 kV ESD contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2), protecting connected mobile devices. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional TVS protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ85CA | Higher VWM (72.2 V), higher VC (121 V), same SMB package but lower PPPM (400 W). | Limited to lower-energy transients; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and 600 W surge headroom. |
| 1.5KE82CA | Through-hole DO-201 package, identical VWM/VBR/VC, 600 W rating, but no AEC-Q101 or MSL Level 1 support. | Requires manual assembly or wave solder; unsuitable for high-density SMT automotive PCBs. | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where reflow compatibility is irrelevant. |
Compared with SMAJ85CA and 1.5KE82CA, the P6SMB82CAHM3/H delivers verified AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free compliance, and full MSL Level 1 process readiness - making it the sole option for production automotive SMT designs requiring zero-rework surge immunity.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in P6SMB82CAHM3/H?
The "CA" suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration - meaning the P6SMB82CAHM3/H provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities, unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., P6SMB82AHM3/H) that conduct only in reverse bias. This makes P6SMB82CAHM3/H ideal for protecting AC signals, differential buses, or any line where voltage polarity may reverse during fault conditions.
Is P6SMB82CAHM3/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - the "HM3" suffix certifies that P6SMB82CAHM3/H is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101 qualified. It has passed stress tests including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and high-acceleration life testing required for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics, confirming suitability for production ECUs and ADAS sensor nodes.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P6SMB82CAHM3/H under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of P6SMB82CAHM3/H is 113 V at 5.3 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and represents the highest voltage imposed on the protected circuit during a standardized surge event - a key parameter for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
How does the SMB package of P6SMB82CAHM3/H compare to SMA or SMC packages?
The SMB (DO-214AA) package of P6SMB82CAHM3/H measures 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm - smaller than SMC (DO-214AB) but larger than SMA (DO-214AC). It offers optimal trade-off between surge handling (600 W), board space, and thermal dissipation, supporting reflow up to 260 °C (MSL Level 1), unlike some smaller packages with lower power ratings or tighter thermal limits.
Does P6SMB82CAHM3/H require external series impedance for effective protection?
No - P6SMB82CAHM3/H functions as a shunt protector and does not require series impedance to operate, but adding a small series resistor or ferrite bead upstream improves energy sharing and reduces diode stress during multi-pulse events. Layout best practice places P6SMB82CAHM3/H as close as possible to the protected port with minimal trace inductance to preserve its <1 ns response advantage.
