Product details
Overview
SMC3K58CA-M3/57 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, rated for 3000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 64.4–71.2 V breakdown voltage, and 93.6 V maximum clamping voltage at 32.1 A surge current. It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients and lightning-induced surges in automotive and industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the SMC3K58CA-M3/57 datasheet, SMC3K58CA-M3/57 pinout, SMC3K58CA-M3/57 application, or SMC3K58CA-M3/57 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected circuit's absolute maximum rating, standoff voltage compatibility with operating rail (58 V), bidirectional polarity requirement, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped crowbar device triggered by transient overvoltage exceeding its breakdown range (64.4–71.2 V). Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time ensure effective suppression of sub-microsecond transients without latch-up or thermal runaway.
Designed for unidirectional PCB top-side mounting only, it meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020 and is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and qualified to AEC-Q101 - confirming suitability for under-hood automotive electronics where reliability under thermal cycling and humidity is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 64.4 V / 71.2 V - defines minimum trigger threshold and worst-case conduction onset across temperature and unit variation |
| VWM | 58 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage; must exceed system's highest steady-state rail voltage |
| VC @ IPPM | 93.6 V - clamping voltage at 32.1 A peak pulse; determines upper bound of protected node voltage during surge |
| PPPM | 3000 W - peak pulse power handling (10/1000 μs waveform); quantifies energy absorption capability per transient event |
| IPPM | 32.1 A - peak surge current corresponding to 3000 W at 93.6 V; used to size series impedance and verify layout current capacity |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; sets thermal derating limits for repetitive surge conditions |
| Polarity | Bidirectional - protects both positive and negative transients without polarity-sensitive placement |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), surface-mount, matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 molding compound, M3 suffix indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (marked end) | Transient current sink path | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when voltage exceeds VBR |
| Anode | Reference return path | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return plane; completes clamping loop during bidirectional events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Enables robust protection against high-energy transients common in automotive load-dump and industrial motor switching |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validates reliability for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces |
| MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity | Allows unlimited floor life and standard reflow without baking, simplifying SMT manufacturing flow |
| UL 497B recognition (E136766) | Confirms safety compliance for telecom and industrial equipment requiring certified surge protection components |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients, improving clamping precision and downstream IC survivability |
Applications
| Automotive Power Distribution | Industrial Sensor Signal Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V/24 V power rails in junction boxes and battery management modules from load-dump and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff voltage clamp placed between supply rail and ground, activated only during overvoltage events.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMC3K58CAHM3/57 | AEC-Q101 qualified version; identical electrical specs but enhanced process validation for automotive use | Required for new automotive designs; not necessary for commercial/industrial applications | Select SMC3K58CAHM3/57 when automotive qualification documentation (test reports, PPAP) is mandatory |
| SMC3K60CA-M3/57 | Higher VBR (66.7–73.7 V) and VWM (60 V); same PPPM, lower IPPM (31.0 A), higher VC (96.8 V) | Better suited for 60 V nominal systems; less margin for 58 V rails | Choose SMC3K60CA-M3/57 only if system operating voltage is ≥60 V and clamping headroom allows 96.8 V |
Compared with SMC3K58CA-M3/57, the HM3 variant adds automotive qualification without electrical change, while SMC3K60CA-M3/57 trades lower clamping performance for higher standoff - making SMC3K58CA-M3/57 optimal for 58 V systems needing tight clamping margin and commercial-grade cost structure.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the SMC3K58CA-M3/57?
The SMC3K58CA-M3/57 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 64.4 V to 71.2 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This range ensures reliable triggering across temperature extremes and unit-to-unit variation while maintaining sufficient margin above its 58 V standoff rating.
Is the SMC3K58CA-M3/57 suitable for automotive applications?
The SMC3K58CA-M3/57 is halogen-free and RoHS-compliant but is not AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive use, Vishay specifies the SMC3K58CAHM3/57 variant. The SMC3K58CA-M3/57 remains appropriate for commercial and industrial applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMC3K58CA-M3/57 at rated surge current?
The SMC3K58CA-M3/57 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage of 93.6 V at its rated peak pulse current of 32.1 A (10/1000 μs waveform). This value is critical for verifying that protected circuits remain below their absolute maximum voltage ratings during surge events.
Does the SMC3K58CA-M3/57 have polarity marking on the package?
No - the SMC3K58CA-M3/57 is a bidirectional TVS diode and carries no polarity marking on the SMC (DO-214AB) case. Physical orientation does not affect functionality, though standard practice places the cathode band toward the protected line for consistency with unidirectional layouts.
What packaging format is supplied for the SMC3K58CA-M3/57?
The SMC3K58CA-M3/57 is supplied in 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel format, with a base quantity of 850 units per reel (package code /57). This configuration supports automated SMT placement and complies with EIA-481 standards for carrier tape dimensions and pocket geometry.
