Product details
Overview
SMA6F58A-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in SlimSMA (DO-221AC) package, designed to protect sensitive electronics against voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lightning surges. It features a 58 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 64.4–71.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 93.8 V maximum clamping voltage at 3.53 A (10/1000 μs), 600 W peak pulse power, and IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 ESD immunity (15 kV air / 8 kV contact).
For engineers reviewing the SMA6F58A-M3/H datasheet, SMA6F58A-M3/H pinout, SMA6F58A-M3/H application, or SMA6F58A-M3/H equivalent, this device is selected for robust overvoltage protection on DC power rails and signal lines in industrial sensor interfaces, telecom power inputs, and automotive control modules where low-profile mounting and high surge resilience are required.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional Zener-based clamp, activating above its 58 V stand-off threshold to shunt transient energy to ground. Its dynamic resistance of 6.4 Ω (typ.) ensures rapid voltage limiting during 10/1000 μs surges up to 3.53 A, while maintaining low leakage current (≤0.2 μA at VWM) at normal operating conditions.
The device is rated for junction temperatures from –55 °C to +175 °C and meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C lead-free reflow compatibility. Its SlimSMA (DO-221AC) package delivers a typical height of 0.95 mm, enabling use in space-constrained PCB layouts without compromising thermal performance on FR4 boards.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMA6F58A-M3/6B | Same electrical specs; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (14,000 pcs/reel vs. 3,500 pcs/reel) and package code "6B" instead of "H" | No functional difference; intended for high-volume automated assembly requiring larger reels | Select SMA6F58A-M3/6B when optimizing for SMT line efficiency with bulk reel feeding |
| SMA6F60A-M3/H | Higher VWM (60 V) and VBR (66.7–73.7 V); clamping voltage 96.8 V at 3.73 A; otherwise identical SlimSMA package and surge ratings | Better suited for 60 V nominal systems (e.g., certain telecom or industrial 48 V+ rails) where tighter margin above operating voltage is needed | Choose SMA6F60A-M3/H if design requires ≥2 V headroom above 58 V nominal rail or must meet stricter VBR tolerance bands |
Compared with SMA6F58A-M3/H, SMA6F58A-M3/6B offers identical protection performance with higher reel quantity for production throughput, while SMA6F60A-M3/H provides elevated voltage thresholds for systems operating closer to 60 V, enabling more precise clamping alignment without sacrificing surge capability or footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMA6F58A-M3/H under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The SMA6F58A-M3/H exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 93.8 V at a peak pulse current (IPP) of 3.53 A for the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per the manufacturer's test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on the protected circuit during such a transient event. The SMA6F58A-M3/H maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range and is validated per JEDEC test methods.
Does the SMA6F58A-M3/H support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, the SMA6F58A-M3/H is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C, meeting J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 requirements. Its matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 for solderability and JESD22-B102 for intermetallic reliability. The SMA6F58A-M3/H is also certified to JESD201 class 2 for whisker resistance, ensuring long-term solder joint integrity in industrial and automotive applications.
How does the SMA6F58A-M3/H differ from bidirectional TVS diodes?
The SMA6F58A-M3/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, meaning it functions as a Zener clamp only in reverse bias and conducts forward like a standard diode. Unlike bidirectional variants, it does not suppress transients on both polarities of an AC signal. This makes the SMA6F58A-M3/H ideal for DC power rails and single-polarity signal lines where polarity is fixed and forward conduction is acceptable. Its unidirectional architecture provides lower leakage and sharper knee characteristics than equivalent bidirectional parts.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA) for the SMA6F58A-M3/H on a standard PCB?
The SMA6F58A-M3/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 120 °C/W when mounted on a standard FR4 PCB with 2 oz. copper and the recommended footprint per JEDEC 51-2A. This value increases to 150 °C/W maximum under worst-case board layout conditions. The RθJA directly impacts steady-state power dissipation capability: at TA = 25 °C, the SMA6F58A-M3/H supports 1.0 W continuous power, derating linearly above that ambient temperature.
Can the SMA6F58A-M3/H be used in automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, the SMA6F58A-M3/H is rated for an operating junction temperature range of –55 °C to +175 °C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive environments where ambient temperatures may exceed 125 °C. Its SlimSMA package is qualified to MSL level 1 and withstands multiple reflow cycles, while its halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction meets automotive material compliance requirements. The SMA6F58A-M3/H is commonly deployed in body control modules and engine control interface circuits for transient suppression.
