Product details

Overview

SM6T200CAHE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, rated for 200 V standoff voltage (VWM), 274 V clamping voltage (VC) at 2.2 A IPPM, and 600 W peak pulse power with 10/1000 μs waveform. It features AEC-Q101 qualification, low inductance, and glass passivated junction for robust ESD and surge protection in automotive sensor signal lines.

For engineers reviewing the SM6T200CAHE3/52 datasheet, SM6T200CAHE3/52 pinout, SM6T200CAHE3/52 application, or SM6T200CAHE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, TJ max. of 150 °C, MSL level 1 compliance, RoHS-compliant matte tin terminals, and suitability for IFSM-sensitive layouts requiring 100 A surge tolerance.

Technical Context

This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, delivering consistent clamping performance regardless of transient polarity. Its 274 V VC at 2.2 A (10/1000 μs) ensures reliable overvoltage suppression while maintaining low leakage (<1 μA at 171 V) and thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W).

Designed for surface-mount automation, the device uses a glass-passivated silicon junction and meets J-STD-020 MSL level 1 with 260 °C reflow peak. The SMB package enables compact placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal to sustain full 600 W pulse rating.

Key Specifications

Applications

Automotive Sensor ProtectionIndustrial CAN Bus Interface

Use Scenario: Protecting LIN/CAN transceiver inputs and analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) from load dump and inductive switching spikes in vehicle ECUs.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping element placed directly at connector or IC input pins to shunt surge energy before it reaches sensitive circuitry.

Use Value: Maintains signal integrity by clamping transients to ≤274 V while surviving repeated 100 A surges per ISO 16750-2, extending system MTBF.

Use Scenario: Safeguarding differential CANH/CANL lines in factory automation controllers exposed to motor drive noise and relay switching events.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Symmetrical TVS pair (one per line) suppressing common-mode and differential transients without disrupting 1 Mbps data timing.

Use Value: Prevents bus lockup by limiting voltage excursions to <±300 V, ensuring uninterrupted communication during 600 W surge events.

Telecom Power Supply InputConsumer Appliance Motor Control

Use Scenario: Front-end protection of AC/DC adapter inputs in base stations and PoE injectors subjected to lightning-induced surges on primary-side traces.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line transient absorber between fuse and bridge rectifier, diverting energy before upstream components.

Use Value: Withstands 2.2 A peak pulse at 274 V clamping, reducing need for oversized input capacitors and improving surge margin per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4.

Use Scenario: Shielding microcontroller GPIOs and gate drivers in washing machine motor inverters from commutation spikes generated by BLDC motors.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Localized clamp at motor driver IC supply rails and feedback nodes to prevent latch-up or false triggering.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.

Alternative PartTechnical DifferenceApplication DifferenceSelection Advice
SMAJ200CASame VWM (171 V) and VC (274 V), but 400 W PPPM rating and SMA package (higher RθJA = 140 °C/W)Limited to lower-energy transients; less suitable for automotive load dump where 600 W is requiredSelect SMAJ200CA only if board space constraints favor smaller SMA footprint and surge energy is confirmed ≤400 W
1.5KE200CAHigher PPPM (1500 W), axial DO-201 package, higher VC (324 V), non-AEC-Q101Requires through-hole assembly; clamps at higher voltage, risking downstream IC damage in low-voltage systemsChoose 1.5KE200CA only for legacy through-hole designs needing higher pulse energy, not for new SMT automotive designs

Compared with SMAJ200CA and 1.5KE200CA, SM6T200CAHE3/52 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 600 W pulse handling in compact SMB, and precise 274 V clamping-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability automotive and industrial SMT applications.

FAQ

What does the "CA" suffix indicate in SM6T200CAHE3/52?

The "CA" suffix in SM6T200CAHE3/52 denotes a bidirectional configuration, meaning the device provides symmetrical transient suppression for both positive and negative voltage excursions. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., SM6T200A), SM6T200CAHE3/52 has no polarity marking and clamps equally in either direction-critical for protecting AC-coupled or differential signal lines such as CAN or LIN buses where transient polarity is unpredictable.

Is SM6T200CAHE3/52 suitable for automotive applications?

Yes, SM6T200CAHE3/52 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified (indicated by the "HE3" suffix) and rated for operation from −65 °C to +150 °C. It meets automotive surge standards including ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2, with validated performance under temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity testing-making SM6T200CAHE3/52 appropriate for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules.

What is the clamping voltage of SM6T200CAHE3/52 and how is it measured?

The clamping voltage (VC) of SM6T200CAHE3/52 is 274 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 2.2 A using the standardized 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform. This value represents the maximum voltage seen across the device during a surge event and is guaranteed per Vishay's datasheet (Document Number 88385, Rev. 09-Jan-2024). Lower VC values reduce stress on downstream ICs, making SM6T200CAHE3/52 effective for protecting 200 V-rated circuits.

Does SM6T200CAHE3/52 require a heatsink for 600 W pulse handling?

No, SM6T200CAHE3/52 achieves its full 600 W peak pulse power rating without an external heatsink when mounted on the recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. Its RθJA of 100 °C/W and low thermal mass allow rapid dissipation of transient energy. However, for sustained power dissipation (>5 W DC), additional copper area or thermal vias are advised-SM6T200CAHE3/52 is optimized for short-duration surges, not continuous operation.

How does the HE3 suffix differ from E3 or M3 in SM6T200CAHE3/52?

The "HE3" suffix in SM6T200CAHE3/52 indicates RoHS-compliant construction plus full AEC-Q101 qualification, whereas "E3" denotes RoHS-compliant commercial grade only, and "M3" adds halogen-free compliance. Only HE3- and HM3-suffixed parts undergo automotive-grade stress testing-including extended temperature life, vibration, and solderability validation-making SM6T200CAHE3/52 the correct choice for automotive Tier 1 suppliers and safety-critical subsystems.
