Product details
Overview
SM15T39CAHM3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in SMC (DO-214AB) package, rated for 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 33.3 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 37.1–41.0 V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 53.9 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 28.0 A peak pulse current - used to protect automotive sensor signal lines against lightning-induced and inductive-switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the SM15T39CAHM3_A/H datasheet, SM15T39CAHM3_A/H pinout, SM15T39CAHM3_A/H application, or SM15T39CAHM3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free RoHS compliance, low-inductance SMC package, and verified 1500 W surge handling under IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 threat conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped crowbar during transient overvoltage events, with symmetrical forward/reverse conduction enabling bidirectional protection without polarity sensitivity. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and low leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM) across -65 °C to +150 °C operating range.
The SM15T39CAHM3_A/H delivers 53.9 V clamping at 28.0 A (10/1000 μs), achieving <1.5 ns response time and thermal resistance of 15 °C/W (junction-to-lead), supporting high-reliability placement on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per terminal per JEDEC standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 33.3 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates |
| VBR min/max | 37.1 V / 41.0 V at 1.0 mA - precise bidirectional breakdown threshold ensuring predictable turn-on |
| VC @ IPPM | 53.9 V at 28.0 A (10/1000 μs) - limits downstream IC voltage stress to safe levels during surge |
| PPPM | 1500 W - sustains IEC 61000-4-5 4 kV/2 Ω surge waveform without degradation |
| TJ max | +150 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments with no derating up to 125 °C ambient |
| Package | SMC (DO-214AB) - industry-standard 7.75 mm × 6.22 mm footprint compatible with automated SMT assembly |
| Qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant - certified for automotive-grade production use |
Pinout & Package
SM15T39CAHM3_A/H uses a 2-terminal SMC (DO-214AB) package with no polarity marking (bidirectional). Terminals are matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, rated MSL level 1 (peak reflow 260 °C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal 1 | Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Bidirectional conduction path - either terminal serves as input/output for transient energy diversion |
| Terminal 2 | Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Completes low-inductance clamping loop - requires equal copper pad area (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) per terminal |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ33CA | Same SMC package, 33 V VWM, but lower PPPM = 400 W and non-AEC-Q101 rated | Suitable for commercial-grade industrial controls, not automotive under-hood use | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and 1500 W surge requirement |
| ON Semiconductor SMCJ33CA | Identical 33 V VWM, 1500 W rating, but AEC-Q101 qualified only in HM3 variant (SMCJ33CAHM3) | Matches SM15T39CAHM3_A/H performance but differs in packaging code and reel configuration | Choose if existing BOM uses ON Semi's SMCJ family and tape-and-reel logistics align with HM3 delivery mode |
Compared with SMAJ33CA and SMCJ33CAHM3, SM15T39CAHM3_A/H provides identical clamping performance and AEC-Q101 validation while offering Vishay-specific halogen-free compliance and optimized thermal resistance (RθJL = 15 °C/W), improving long-term reliability in thermally constrained automotive PCB layouts.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SM15T39CAHM3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SM15T39CAHM3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 53.9 V at 28.0 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay document 88380 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events. The SM15T39CAHM3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range (-65 °C to +150 °C).
Is SM15T39CAHM3_A/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SM15T39CAHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and manufactured with halogen-free, RoHS-compliant materials - explicitly intended for automotive use. Its 1500 W surge rating, 150 °C junction temperature limit, and MSL level 1 reflow compatibility meet requirements for engine control units, ADAS sensors, and body electronics. The "HM3" suffix in SM15T39CAHM3_A/H confirms its automotive-grade qualification status.
How does the bidirectional design of SM15T39CAHM3_A/H affect its circuit placement?
The SM15T39CAHM3_A/H has no polarity marking and conducts identically in both directions, allowing placement between any two nodes requiring symmetrical overvoltage protection - such as across differential signal pairs (CAN_H/CAN_L) or between supply and ground. Unlike unidirectional TVS diodes, the SM15T39CAHM3_A/H eliminates orientation errors during SMT assembly and supports AC-coupled or floating-line protection without external biasing.
What is the thermal resistance specification for SM15T39CAHM3_A/H?
SM15T39CAHM3_A/H has a typical thermal resistance of 15 °C/W from junction to lead (RθJL) and 75 °C/W from junction to ambient air (RθJA). These values assume mounting on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per terminal, per JEDEC test condition. The low RθJL enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper, supporting sustained operation at 6.5 W power dissipation when heatsinked.
Does SM15T39CAHM3_A/H meet IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity standards?
Yes, SM15T39CAHM3_A/H is rated for 1500 W peak pulse power with a 10/1000 μs waveform - directly aligned with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV line-to-ground, 2 Ω source impedance). Its 53.9 V clamping voltage at 28.0 A ensures protected circuits remain below semiconductor absolute maximum ratings during full-standard surge events, making SM15T39CAHM3_A/H appropriate for front-end protection in industrial and automotive equipment.
