Product details
Overview
SMBJ6.5AHM3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 6.5 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 7.22–7.98 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 10 mA, 11.2 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 53.6 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ6.5AHM3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ6.5AHM3_B/H pinout, SMBJ6.5AHM3_B/H application, or SMBJ6.5AHM3_B/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free RoHS compliance, and real-world clamping performance under surge conditions per IEC 61000-4-5.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its VBR range (7.22–7.98 V). Its low incremental surge resistance and sub-nanosecond response time enable effective suppression of ESD, lightning-induced surges, and inductive switching transients.
Thermally, it exhibits RθJA = 100 °C/W (typ.) and RθJL = 20 °C/W (typ.), with junction temperature rated from –55 °C to +150 °C. The device is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 6.5 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; sets safe margin below circuit operating rail. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 7.22–7.98 V at 10 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures predictable triggering without premature conduction. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 11.2 V at 53.6 A (10/1000 µs) - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge; defines protection window. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Sustained transient energy absorption capability; validated per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 test profiles. |
| IPPM (Peak Pulse Current) | 53.6 A - Maximum non-repetitive surge current supported; determines minimum series impedance required for coordination. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in high-ambient environments like engine control units. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Surface-mount outline with 5.59 mm × 4.06 mm footprint; compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, MSL Level 1 (JEDEC J-STD-020), lead-free and halogen-free compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink node | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when VREV > VBR; polarity must be observed for unidirectional operation. |
| Anode | Reference / ground return path | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return plane; completes clamping loop during overvoltage events. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 surge events up to 4 kV (line-to-earth) without degradation. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified (HM3 suffix) | Validated for automotive applications including body electronics and powertrain subsystems requiring zero-failure reliability. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | Meets environmental compliance requirements for EU, China RoHS, and JEITA EG02, supporting green manufacturing. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on downstream components - critical for 5 V logic and automotive MCU I/O protection. |
| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Allows unlimited floor life before reflow; eliminates baking requirement and simplifies SMT production planning. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial PLC Digital Input Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ6.5AHE3_B/H | Same electrical specs, but RoHS-compliant commercial grade (non-halogen-free); no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Suitable for non-automotive industrial or consumer designs where halogen-free is not mandated. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs halogen-free requirement and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| SMAJ6.5A-M3 | Lower 400 W PPPM, SMA (DO-214AC) package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 140 °C/W). | Limited to lower-energy transients; less suitable for 4 kV surge immunity or high-temperature enclosures. | Choose only for space-constrained boards with <400 W surge exposure and ambient <85 °C. |
Compared with SMBJ6.5AHM3_B/H, the HE3 variant lacks halogen-free certification and AEC-Q101 validation, while the SMAJ6.5A-M3 sacrifices 33 % peak power handling and thermal performance due to smaller package size - making SMBJ6.5AHM3_B/H the optimal choice for automotive and high-reliability industrial surge protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ6.5AHM3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ6.5AHM3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 11.2 V at 53.6 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured under standardized surge conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events - critical for ensuring compatibility with 5 V or 3.3 V logic interfaces downstream.
Is SMBJ6.5AHM3_B/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ6.5AHM3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HM3" suffix. This qualification confirms its suitability for automotive applications including body control modules, infotainment power supplies, and ADAS sensor interfaces - validated for temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock per AEC standards.
What does the "HM3" suffix mean in SMBJ6.5AHM3_B/H?
The "HM3" suffix in SMBJ6.5AHM3_B/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this variant from commercial-grade "E3" or non-automotive "M3" versions, confirming compliance with automotive environmental and reliability requirements - essential for Tier 1 supplier BOMs.
Can SMBJ6.5AHM3_B/H be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, SMBJ6.5AHM3_B/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, identified by its cathode band marking. For bidirectional protection, Vishay specifies the CA-suffixed variant (e.g., SMBJ6.5CA). Using SMBJ6.5AHM3_B/H in reverse-biased AC applications would result in forward conduction and potential failure.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ6.5AHM3_B/H from junction to ambient?
The typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of SMBJ6.5AHM3_B/H is 100 °C/W when mounted on the recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pad per terminal. This value assumes standard PCB layout and natural convection; actual thermal performance improves with enhanced copper area or forced airflow.
