Product details
Overview
SE20PB-M3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount, AEC-Q101-qualified, single silicon rectifier diode in the eSMP® SMP (DO-220AA) package, rated for 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 2.0 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 32 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM). It delivers low forward voltage drop (0.85 V at 2.0 A, 125 °C), 5 μA max reverse leakage at 25 °C, and 1.2 μs typical reverse recovery time - optimized for power line polarity and rail-to-rail ESD protection in automotive and industrial DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SE20PB-M3/85A datasheet, SE20PB-M3/85A pinout, SE20PB-M3/85A application, or SE20PB-M3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, SMP package footprint compatibility with automated placement, and verified ESD immunity per AEC-Q101-001 (H3B class, >8 kV HBM).
Technical Context
This device implements an oxide planar chip junction structure enabling low VF and fast trr while maintaining robust thermal performance (RθJA = 105 °C/W, RθJM = 20 °C/W). Its cathode-band polarity marking and matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.
The SE20PB-M3/85A operates across -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements. Its 1.0 mm typical profile and DO-220AA mechanical outline support high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained automotive control modules and industrial power supplies.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SE20PBHM3/85A | Automotive-grade variant with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance; identical electrical specs | Required for AEC-Q101-compliant designs where enhanced whisker mitigation is mandated | Select HM3 when automotive OEM PPAP requires Class 2 whisker testing; otherwise M3 suffices for commercial/industrial use |
| SB2100-TB | 2 A Schottky rectifier, 100 V VRRM, VF ≈ 0.55 V @ 2 A, but no AEC-Q101 qualification or HBM >8 kV rating | Limited to non-automotive, lower-temperature applications due to 125 °C TJ max and no automotive qualification | Choose SB2100-TB only for cost-sensitive consumer products where ESD robustness and 175 °C operation are not required |
Compared with SE20PBHM3/85A, the SE20PB-M3/85A offers identical electrical performance but omits automotive whisker testing - reducing cost for industrial and consumer use. Versus SB2100-TB, it trades higher VF for guaranteed AEC-Q101 reliability, 175 °C operation, and certified ESD immunity - critical for automotive and medical power inputs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the SE20PB-M3/85A?
The SE20PB-M3/85A has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +175 °C, validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This allows continuous operation in under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures without thermal derating below 2.0 A average forward current when mounted on a 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm 2 oz. copper pad. The SE20PB-M3/85A maintains specified VF and IR performance across this full range.
Does the SE20PB-M3/85A have AEC-Q101 qualification?
Yes, the SE20PB-M3/85A is fully AEC-Q101 qualified per the Vishay document 87905 (Revision: 16-Jun-2023). This includes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, high-temperature operating life, and ESD per AEC-Q101-001 (H3B class). The SE20PB-M3/85A carries the "M3" suffix indicating commercial-grade qualification - distinct from "HM3", which adds JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing.
What does the "85A" in SE20PB-M3/85A indicate?
The "85A" suffix denotes the packaging configuration: 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 10,000 units per reel. This format is optimized for high-volume SMT placement equipment. The SE20PB-M3/85A shares identical electrical and thermal specifications with the 7-inch reel variant (SE20PB-M3/84A); only packaging differs.
Is the SE20PB-M3/85A suitable for rail-to-rail ESD protection?
Yes - the SE20PB-M3/85A is explicitly designed for rail-to-rail protection per Vishay's stated typical applications. Its >8 kV HBM ESD rating (AEC-Q101-001 H3B class), low IR (5 μA), and fast trr (1.2 μs) enable effective clamping of transient overvoltages between power rails while minimizing leakage and recovery distortion. The SE20PB-M3/85A is commonly deployed across 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V DC rails in automotive and industrial systems.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA) for the SE20PB-M3/85A?
The typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) for the SE20PB-M3/85A is 105 °C/W under free-air conditions on a 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm 2 oz. FR4 PCB. This value assumes the recommended mounting pad layout per the DO-220AA outline drawing. For heatsink-mounted applications, the junction-to-mount thermal resistance (RθJM) is 20 °C/W - a key parameter used when calculating temperature rise under high-power pulsed loads.
