Product details
Overview
SM6T39AHM3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, rated for 39 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 37.1–41.0 V at 1.0 mA), 53.9 V clamping voltage (VC) at 11.1 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power with 10/1000 μs waveform. It provides robust ESD and surge protection for automotive sensor signal lines, MOSFET gate drivers, and industrial I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SM6T39AHM3_B/H datasheet, SM6T39AHM3_B/H pinout, SM6T39AHM3_B/H application, or SM6T39AHM3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free RoHS compliance, low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.38), and thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W) under standard PCB mounting.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in reverse-biased configuration, activating when transient voltage exceeds its stand-off voltage (VWM = 33.3 V). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior and low leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM), while low inductance supports fast response to sub-microsecond transients.
The device is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use and features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. Its SMB package meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL level 1 (peak reflow 260 °C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 37.1 V / 41.0 V at 1.0 mA - defines precise conduction onset for reliable overvoltage thresholding |
| VWM | 33.3 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage rises significantly |
| VC @ IPPM | 53.9 V at 11.1 A (10/1000 μs) - clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during surge events |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient power handling capacity under standardized surge waveform |
| IFSM | 100 A - single half-sine surge current rating (10 ms), critical for inductive load switching protection |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature enabling operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, unidirectional polarity marked by cathode band on case body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Enables standard SMT assembly without dry-pack or baking preconditioning |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures long-term stability of breakdown voltage and low leakage under thermal stress |
Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial I/O Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ39A | Same VBR range (37.1–41.0 V), but lower PPPM = 400 W; SMA package (larger RθJA = 130 °C/W) | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; suitable only for commercial-grade consumer/industrial use | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and higher surge margin |
| SMCJ39A | Higher PPPM = 1500 W; larger SMC package (DO-214AB); same VBR, VC, and AEC-Q101 option available | Requires more PCB area; better suited for high-energy industrial motor drives | Select when system-level surge testing exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV line-earth) |
Compared with SMAJ39A and SMCJ39A, SM6T39AHM3_B/H delivers optimal balance of automotive qualification, compact SMB footprint, and 600 W surge capability-making it ideal for space-constrained, AEC-Q101–mandated applications where thermal performance and regulatory compliance are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage tolerance for SM6T39AHM3_B/H?
The SM6T39AHM3_B/H has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 37.1 V to 41.0 V at 1.0 mA test current, per Vishay's datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024. This ±5.5% tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports reliable overvoltage threshold design in automotive and industrial circuits using SM6T39AHM3_B/H.
Is SM6T39AHM3_B/H suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, SM6T39AHM3_B/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "A" suffix and cathode band marking. For bidirectional protection, Vishay offers the SM6T39CA variant (with "CA" suffix). Using SM6T39AHM3_B/H in bidirectional applications would result in forward conduction during negative transients, potentially damaging the device or failing to protect the circuit.
Does SM6T39AHM3_B/H require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes, SM6T39AHM3_B/H must be derated above TA = 25 °C per Figure 2 in the datasheet. At 85 °C ambient, its peak pulse power drops to ~420 W (70% of 600 W), and at 125 °C, it falls to ~240 W (40%). Designers must apply this derating when specifying SM6T39AHM3_B/H for under-hood or enclosed industrial environments.
What is the meaning of the "HM3_B/H" suffix in SM6T39AHM3_B/H?
The "HM3" denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101 qualified construction; "B/H" specifies packaging: 7″ tape-and-reel, 750 units per reel, with "H" as the preferred package code. This suffix confirms SM6T39AHM3_B/H meets automotive-grade material and assembly requirements, distinguishing it from commercial-grade variants like SM6T39A-E3.
Can SM6T39AHM3_B/H replace SMAJ39A in an existing design without layout changes?
No-although both are unidirectional 39 V TVS diodes, SM6T39AHM3_B/H uses the SMB (DO-214AA) package while SMAJ39A uses SMA (DO-214AC). Their footprints differ: SMB has 3.94 mm length vs. SMA's 4.57 mm, and pad layouts are not interchangeable. Replacing SMAJ39A with SM6T39AHM3_B/H requires PCB land pattern revision to accommodate the smaller SMB outline.
