Product details
Overview
SM6T39AHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 33.3 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 37.1–41.0 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 53.9 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 11.1 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power capability with 10/1000 μs waveform. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and RoHS-compliant, used for automotive sensor line protection.
For engineers reviewing the SM6T39AHE3_B/H datasheet, SM6T39AHE3_B/H pinout, SM6T39AHE3_B/H application, or SM6T39AHE3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 μs surge, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
The SM6T39AHE3_B/H operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggering conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its 37.1–41.0 V breakdown range. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 μA at 33.3 V) and low inductance for fast transient response.
It delivers 600 W peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 μs waveform with clamping limited to 53.9 V at 11.1 A, enabling robust protection of downstream ICs and MOSFETs. Thermal design relies on RθJL = 20 °C/W to lead and RθJA = 100 °C/W to ambient, requiring minimum pad layout per DO-214AA specification.

Use Scenario: Protecting Ethernet PHY or RS-485 transceiver pins from lightning-induced surges on outdoor telecom links and building automation networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-level surge diverter mounted at connector entry point, upstream of common-mode chokes. Use Value: Handles 10/1000 μs surges up to 600 W while maintaining low capacitance (<100 pF), avoiding signal integrity degradation at 100 Mbps. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36A-E3/5B | Same SMB package, 36 V VWM, 40–44.2 V VBR, 58.1 V VC @ 10.3 A; lower PPPM (400 W) | Limited to lower-energy transients; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and 600 W surge margin |
| 1.5SMC39A | SMB-compatible but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; same 33.3 V VWM, 37.1–41.0 V VBR, 53.9 V VC; higher thermal mass | Better power dissipation in high-ambient environments; incompatible with tight SMB footprints | Choose when board space allows larger case and enhanced thermal performance is required |

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SM6T39AHE3_B/H?
The SM6T39AHE3_B/H is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode. Its cathode is marked by a visible band on the SMB package body, and it conducts only when reverse-biased beyond its breakdown voltage. This polarity ensures precise clamping on positive-going transients relative to ground, making it suitable for DC power rail and signal line protection where directionality matters.
Is SM6T39AHE3_B/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SM6T39AHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HE3" and documentation revision 09-Jan-2024. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing-validating its use in automotive body electronics, infotainment, and ADAS sensor modules.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SM6T39AHE3_B/H under standard surge conditions?
The SM6T39AHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 53.9 V when subjected to a 10/1000 μs waveform at its rated peak pulse current of 11.1 A. This value is measured per Figure 1 and Table on page 2 of Vishay document 88385 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events.
Does SM6T39AHE3_B/H require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes, SM6T39AHE3_B/H requires mounting on minimum 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal to achieve specified thermal performance and 600 W pulse rating. The SMB footprint must follow Vishay's recommended pad layout (0.086" min. width, 0.220" ref. length), and traces should avoid narrow necks to prevent fusing during 100 A IFSM events.
How does the "HE3_B/H" suffix in SM6T39AHE3_B/H affect packaging and compliance?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified construction; "B/H" specifies 7" diameter plastic tape and reel packaging with 750 units per reel. This format supports automated pick-and-place and ensures traceability for automotive production, with matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 22-B102 whisker resistance Class 2.
