Product details
Overview
SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount TransZORB® transient voltage suppressor in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 5.0 V stand-off voltage, 6.4–7.07 V breakdown at 10 mA, and 9.1 V maximum clamping voltage at 65.9 A (10/1000 μs). It delivers 600 W peak pulse power and protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients in industrial and telecom equipment.
For engineers reviewing the SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I datasheet, SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I pinout, SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I application, or SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage at rated IPP, unidirectional polarity, SMA package thermal resistance (RθJA = 120 °C/W), and compliance with J-STD-020 MSL level 1.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VBR, it avalanches to divert surge current away from downstream circuitry. Its dynamic resistance (RD = 0.031 Ω) ensures low clamping overshoot under 65.9 A pulses, and its 150 °C max junction temperature supports operation in thermally constrained PCB layouts.
The device is optimized for fast-rising transients (8/20 μs waveform capability up to 4000 W) while maintaining low leakage (<150 μA at 5.0 V) and stable VBR temperature coefficient (αT = 5.7 × 10−4/°C). Polarity is marked by cathode band; terminals are matte tin-plated for solderability per J-STD-002.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 5.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; sets operating margin below breakdown. |
| VBR (min/max) | 6.4 V / 7.07 V at IT = 10 mA - Confirmed avalanche initiation range; defines minimum overvoltage threshold. |
| VC @ IPP | 9.1 V at 65.9 A (10/1000 μs) - Clamping voltage during standard surge event; determines protected circuit's peak stress. |
| PPPM (10/1000 μs) | 600 W - Sustained surge energy handling on PCB with 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal. |
| IFSM | 50 A - Peak forward surge rating (8.3 ms half-sine); validates robustness against accidental forward faults. |
| RθJA | 120 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; informs derating above 50 °C ambient. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - Cathode-band marked; blocks reverse conduction until VBR, conducts forward like rectifier. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), surface-mount, low-profile case with UL 94 V-0 molding compound; matte tin-plated leads; MSL level 1 (260 °C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / Surge current sink (reverse bias) | Connected to protected line; carries full transient current during clamping. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / Reference node (reverse bias) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; establishes clamping reference point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Clamping performance | 9.1 V max at 65.9 A (10/1000 μs) enables reliable protection of 5 V logic and interface ICs. |
| Thermal reliability | RθJA = 120 °C/W and TJ(max) = 150 °C support sustained operation in enclosed industrial enclosures. |
| Manufacturing compatibility | MSL level 1 rating and J-STD-002-compliant terminations ensure robust automated SMT assembly. |
| Environmental compliance | M3 suffix indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and JESD 201 class 2 whisker-tested construction. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMA6J5.0A-E3/61 | Same electrical specs; RoHS-compliant (E3) vs. halogen-free (M3); identical SMA package and marking code "6AE". | No functional difference; E3 variant uses standard Pb-free plating, M3 adds halogen-free compound requirement. | Select SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I when halogen-free compliance per IEC 61249-2-21 is mandated in final BOM. |
| SMCJ5.0A-M3 | Higher PPPM (1500 W vs. 600 W), larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same VWM/VBR/VC ratings. | Used where higher surge margin is needed and board space allows larger footprint; not drop-in due to different pad layout. | Choose SMCJ5.0A-M3 only if design requires >600 W clamping capacity and can accommodate 7.11 mm × 6.22 mm body size. |
Compared with SMA6J5.0A-E3/61, the SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I offers identical protection performance with halogen-free materials, while SMCJ5.0A-M3 provides higher surge rating in a non-pin-compatible package-making SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I optimal for space-constrained, environmentally regulated 5 V rail protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 9.1 V at 65.9 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured under standardized test conditions with PCB-mounted 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal and confirms the device's ability to limit transient overvoltage to safe levels for 5 V logic components.
Does the SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I support automated SMT placement?
Yes, the SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I is designed for automated placement: it features a low-profile SMA (DO-214AC) package, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and MSL level 1 rating (260 °C peak reflow), enabling reliable pick-and-place and lead-free reflow processing without moisture sensitivity concerns.
Is the SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I unidirectional or bidirectional?
The SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I is unidirectional, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet under FEATURES ("Available in unidirectional polarity only") and ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (no VBR spec for forward quadrant). Its cathode band marking and specified reverse-biased parameters confirm operation as a single-quadrant surge clamp.
What is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I?
The SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 120 °C/W, measured under standard JEDEC conditions with 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal. This value governs power derating above 50 °C ambient and must be applied when calculating safe operating area in thermally dense layouts.
How does the M3 suffix in SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I affect compliance?
The M3 suffix in SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and JESD 201 class 2 whisker testing-distinct from the E3 variant. This makes the SMA6J5.0A-01HM3/I suitable for applications requiring strict halogen-free material declarations per IEC 61249-2-21 and enhanced long-term interconnect reliability.
