Product details
Overview
SM6T100AHE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, rated for 100 V standoff voltage (VWM = 85.5 V), 137 V clamping voltage at 4.4 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs), and 600 W peak pulse power. It features AEC-Q101 qualification, glass passivated junction, and low-inductance design for automotive-grade ESD and surge protection on power rails and signal lines.
For engineers reviewing the SM6T100AHE3/52 datasheet, SM6T100AHE3/52 pinout, SM6T100AHE3/52 application, or SM6T100AHE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 μs transients, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), AEC-Q101 compliance status, and SMB package compatibility with automated SMT placement.
Technical Context
The SM6T100AHE3/52 operates as a unidirectional avalanche-clamping device, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold (VBR min = 95.0 V, max = 105 V at 1 mA). Its clamping action limits transient-induced overvoltage to ≤137 V at 4.4 A, protecting downstream ICs and MOSFETs from inductive switching spikes and lightning surges.
Designed for surface-mount use on PCBs with minimum 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal, it delivers 600 W peak pulse power handling with derating above 25 °C ambient and supports continuous power dissipation of 5.0 W at 50 °C on infinite heatsink. Junction temperature range spans −65 °C to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 85.5 V - maximum steady-state reverse voltage before clamping begins; defines operating margin below breakdown |
| VBR (min/max) | 95.0 / 105 V at 1 mA - ensures reliable avalanche initiation within tight tolerance band for consistent protection threshold |
| VC @ IPPM | 137 V at 4.4 A (10/1000 μs) - peak clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during standardized surge event |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient energy absorption capability without failure under defined waveform |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient; determines self-heating under sustained power dissipation |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum allowable junction temperature; sets upper limit for thermal design margin in automotive environments |
| ID @ VWM | 1.0 μA - reverse leakage at standoff voltage; critical for low-power sensor rail integrity and battery drain control |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ100A-E3/52 | Same SMB package, 100 V VWM, but lower PPPM (400 W) and higher VC (156 V at 3.8 A) | Limited to less severe surge environments; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification or 600 W headroom requirements |
| 1.5SMC100A | Higher power (1500 W), larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same VWM/VC specs, AEC-Q101 available in HE3 variant | Requires PCB layout change; suited for high-energy industrial mains inputs | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 and SMB footprint is not constrained |
Compared with SMAJ100A-E3/52 and 1.5SMC100A, the SM6T100AHE3/52 uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, 600 W capability, and SMB footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial edge nodes where qualification and reliability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SM6T100AHE3/52 under standard surge conditions?
The SM6T100AHE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 137 V when subjected to a 10/1000 μs transient waveform at 4.4 A peak pulse current. This value is measured per industry-standard test conditions and reflects the actual voltage imposed on protected circuitry during surge events, ensuring downstream components remain within safe operating limits.
Is SM6T100AHE3/52 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SM6T100AHE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HE3". This qualification validates its reliability for automotive use cases including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces under extended temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical stress conditions.
What package type does SM6T100AHE3/52 use, and what are its mounting requirements?
SM6T100AHE3/52 uses the SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package. It requires minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal for thermal performance and must be mounted using lead-free reflow per J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (peak 260 °C), with matte tin-plated leads compliant to JESD 22-B102.
How does the breakdown voltage tolerance of SM6T100AHE3/52 affect circuit design?
The SM6T100AHE3/52 has a specified breakdown voltage range of 95.0 V to 105 V at 1 mA test current. Designers must ensure system operating voltage remains below the minimum VBR (95.0 V) with margin to avoid premature conduction, while verifying that clamping (≤137 V) stays below absolute maximum ratings of protected ICs.
Can SM6T100AHE3/52 replace older generation TVS diodes like P6KE100A in new designs?
No-SM6T100AHE3/52 is not a direct replacement for P6KE100A due to different packages (SMB vs. DO-15), thermal characteristics (RθJA = 100 °C/W vs. ~50 °C/W), and surge waveform response. While both have similar VWM and VC, the SM6T100AHE3/52 offers superior SMT manufacturability and AEC-Q101 qualification, but requires PCB redesign and thermal validation.
