Product details
Overview
SM6T39CAHM3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, rated for 39 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 37.1–41.0 V at 1 mA), 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), and clamping voltage of 53.9 V at 11.1 A. It protects signal lines and MOSFET gates in automotive sensor units against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the SM6T39CAHM3_B/H datasheet, SM6T39CAHM3_B/H pinout, SM6T39CAHM3_B/H application, or SM6T39CAHM3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free RoHS compliance, low clamping ratio (1.38), and SMB thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W).
Technical Context
This TVS operates symmetrically in both directions due to its bidirectional CA construction, enabling suppression of positive and negative transients without polarity sensitivity. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5 %) and low leakage (<1 μA at 33.3 V).
Designed for surface-mount automated placement, it meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 with 260 °C reflow peak, and delivers 600 W surge capability on standard 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads - validated per Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 in Document 88385.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 37.1 V / 41.0 V at 1 mA - defines reliable conduction onset under transient stress |
| VWM | 33.3 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | 53.9 V at 11.1 A (10/1000 μs) - clamping voltage limiting downstream IC stress during surge |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient energy absorption capacity under standardized waveform |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient, critical for derating above 25 °C |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - confirms reliability for automotive electronics per stress test requirements |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002. Dimensions: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm (L × W × H). No polarity marking - bidirectional symmetry eliminates cathode/anode orientation requirement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Transient current entry (negative half-cycle) | One terminal of symmetrical P-N junction; accepts reverse surge in either direction |
| Cathode | Transient current exit (negative half-cycle) / entry (positive half-cycle) | Second terminal; completes bidirectional conduction path with Anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping | Enables single-device protection of AC-coupled or floating signal lines without polarity concerns |
| 600 W peak pulse power | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/3a surges and IEC 61000-4-5 line transients in automotive ECUs |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.38) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on protected ICs compared to higher-ratio TVS devices |
| AEC-Q101 qualified & halogen-free | Meets automotive supply chain requirements for reliability and environmental compliance (HM3 suffix) |
| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Allows unlimited floor life and standard reflow without baking preconditioning |
Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial CAN Bus Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN/CAN transceiver inputs and analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) in engine control modules exposed to load dump and inductive kick. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional voltage clamp placed directly at connector or IC input pins to shunt ESD and fast transients. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or gate oxide damage in 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers and transceivers by limiting voltage to ≤53.9 V during 10/1000 μs surges. | Use Scenario: Guarding differential CAN_H/CAN_L lines in factory automation nodes subject to cable discharge events and ground bounce. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Symmetric transient suppressor across bus lines, absorbing common-mode and differential noise spikes. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity by clamping transients below ISO 11898-2 fault thresholds while adding <0.5 pF capacitance per line. |
| Consumer Power Adapter Input | Telecom DSL Line Interface |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side surge protection on 12 V/24 V DC outputs of wall adapters and PoE injectors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Final-stage clamp after primary-side MOV and filter, handling residual fast transients missed upstream. Use Value: Ensures downstream USB-C PD controllers or DC-DC regulators survive 1 kV/0.5 J surges per IEC 61000-4-5 Ed.3. | Use Scenario: Overvoltage protection on twisted-pair DSL line drivers and receivers in residential gateways. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance bidirectional suppressor placed before line transformer or codec input. Use Value: Limits induced lightning surges to <54 V while preserving high-frequency DSL signal fidelity up to 30 MHz. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36CA | Lower PPPM (400 W), same SMB package, VBR = 40–44.2 V, non-AEC-Q101 | Not qualified for automotive; suitable for commercial-grade industrial or telecom use only | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs 33 % lower surge margin |
| SMCJ36CA | Higher PPPM (1500 W), larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, VBR = 40–44.2 V, AEC-Q101 available (HM3 variant) | Requires PCB layout change; better for high-energy transients like ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a | Choose when system-level testing reveals insufficient margin with 600 W rating or board space permits larger footprint |
Compared with SMAJ36CA and SMCJ36CA, SM6T39CAHM3_B/H uniquely balances AEC-Q101 qualification, SMB footprint, and 600 W capability - making it optimal for space-constrained automotive modules where full SMC-level robustness is unnecessary.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in SM6T39CAHM3_B/H?
The "CA" suffix denotes bidirectional configuration: SM6T39CAHM3_B/H conducts symmetrically in both polarities, unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., SM6T39AHM3_B/H). This allows single-device protection of AC signals, differential buses, or floating nodes without polarity constraints - confirmed in Vishay Document 88385 Section "DEVICES FOR BIDIRECTION APPLICATIONS".
Is SM6T39CAHM3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SM6T39CAHM3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified (per HM3 suffix and Document 88385 page 1), halogen-free, and RoHS-compliant. It meets automotive requirements for temperature cycling, humidity bias, and surge robustness - specifically intended for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces where transient immunity is critical.
What is the clamping voltage of SM6T39CAHM3_B/H at rated peak pulse current?
The clamping voltage VC of SM6T39CAHM3_B/H is 53.9 V at IPPM = 11.1 A under 10/1000 μs waveform (Document 88385, Table "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS"). This value defines the maximum voltage imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events.
How does the SMB package of SM6T39CAHM3_B/H affect thermal performance?
SM6T39CAHM3_B/H in SMB (DO-214AA) package has RθJA = 100 °C/W (Document 88385, "THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS"). When mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads, it supports 5.0 W continuous power dissipation at TA = 50 °C - sufficient for intermittent surge duty but requires derating above 25 °C per Fig. 2.
Does SM6T39CAHM3_B/H have polarity markings on the device body?
No, SM6T39CAHM3_B/H has no polarity markings because it is a bidirectional TVS. Unlike unidirectional SM6T parts (which feature a cathode band), the CA variant uses symmetrical internal structure - verified in Document 88385 "MECHANICAL DATA" section stating "no marking on bidirectional types".
