Product details
Overview
SMCG60AHE3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMCG (DO-215AB) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 60 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 66.7–73.7 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), clamping voltage of 96 V at 15.5 A IPPM, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the SMCG60AHE3/57T datasheet, SMCG60AHE3/57T pinout, SMCG60AHE3/57T application, or SMCG60AHE3/57T equivalent, this device is selected for high-energy surge suppression in DC power rails, automotive sensor interfaces, and industrial control I/O lines where low clamping voltage, fast response (<1 ns), and MSL Level 1 solderability are critical.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, optimized for clamping transients induced by inductive load switching, ESD, and lightning surges. Its 1500 W PPPM rating is validated on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads, and thermal resistance is RθJA = 75 °C/W (typical) with TJ max = 150 °C.
The device exhibits low incremental surge resistance and fast response time due to its planar junction structure. Polarity is marked by a cathode band; it delivers 96 V clamping at 15.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM), with reverse leakage ID ≤ 1.0 µA at VWM = 60 V and forward surge capability IFSM = 200 A (8.3 ms half-sine).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 60 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin. |
| VBR min/max | 66.7 V / 73.7 V at IT = 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures reliable turn-on without premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPPM | 96 V at 15.5 A - Clamping voltage under 10/1000 µs surge; determines protected circuit's maximum transient stress. |
| PPPM | 1500 W - Peak pulse power handling capacity; enables protection against high-energy transients per ISO 7637-2. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤ 1.0 µA - Ultra-low leakage preserves system efficiency and battery life in always-on circuits. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Junction temperature limit supporting under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements (HTOL, TC, HTRB, etc.). |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMCG (DO-215AB) - surface-mount, low-profile gull-wing leaded package with matte tin-plated terminals, compliant with J-STD-002/JESD 22-B102 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; connected to lower-potential side of protected line. | Enables unidirectional clamping from cathode to anode during positive transients; polarity marked by band on cathode end. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; connected to higher-potential side (e.g., VCC rail). | Acts as clamping node - shunts surge current to ground or return path when voltage exceeds VBR; band identifies this terminal. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units, ADAS sensors, and body electronics. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Enables standard reflow assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns or baking requirements. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR over lifetime and improved resistance to humidity-induced degradation. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.44) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during surge events, protecting downstream MOSFETs and ICs with tight VDS/VDD margins. |
| 1500 W PPPM on standard pad layout | Delivers high surge immunity without requiring oversized PCB copper or external heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ60A-E3/57T | Same VWM (60 V), but lower PPPM (400 W); SMA (DO-214AC) package; RθJA = 100 °C/W. | Limited to lower-energy transients; less suitable for load dump or high-current inductive switching. | Select SMCG60AHE3/57T when 1500 W surge handling and automotive qualification are required. |
| SMCJ60AHE3/57T | Same VWM (60 V) and PPPM (1500 W), but SMC (DO-214AB) package; larger footprint; RθJA = 60 °C/W. | Better thermal performance but occupies ~2.5× more PCB area than SMCG; not gull-wing compatible. | Choose SMCG60AHE3/57T for space-constrained automotive modules needing gull-wing reflow compatibility. |
Compared with SMAJ60A-E3/57T and SMCJ60AHE3/57T, the SMCG60AHE3/57T uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 1500 W PPPM, DO-215AB gull-wing leads, and MSL Level 1 - enabling compact, high-reliability surge protection in next-gen automotive ECUs without layout or process compromise.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMCG60AHE3/57T at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMCG60AHE3/57T has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 96 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 15.5 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards on the recommended 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pad layout and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMCG60AHE3/57T maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is SMCG60AHE3/57T suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMCG60AHE3/57T is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use, including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules. Its construction includes glass-passivated junctions, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and operation up to +150 °C junction temperature - all verified per automotive stress test requirements. The SMCG60AHE3/57T meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load dump immunity when applied with appropriate PCB layout.
What does the 'HE3' suffix indicate in SMCG60AHE3/57T?
The 'HE3' suffix in SMCG60AHE3/57T denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and matte tin-plated gull-wing leads. Per Vishay's ordering nomenclature, 'HE3' distinguishes this variant from industrial-grade 'E3' parts and halogen-free 'HM3' versions. The SMCG60AHE3/57T is therefore certified for automotive use, lead-free assembly, and high-reliability operation - confirmed in Document Number 88457, Revision 09-Jan-2024.
How does the SMCG60AHE3/57T package differ from SMA or SMC packages?
The SMCG60AHE3/57T uses the DO-215AB (SMCG) package - a low-profile gull-wing variant with 2.29 mm height and 3.56 mm body width, smaller than SMC (DO-214AB) and distinct from SMA (DO-214AC). Its gull-wing leads enable precise automated placement and superior coplanarity vs. J-leads, while maintaining 1500 W PPPM. Unlike SMAJ or SMCJ series, the SMCG60AHE3/57T achieves this in a footprint optimized for dense automotive PCBs.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SMCG60AHE3/57T at its stand-off voltage?
The SMCG60AHE3/57T specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at its 60 V stand-off voltage (VWM) and TA = 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage is critical for battery-powered and always-on systems, minimizing standby power loss and preventing false triggering in high-impedance sensing circuits. The SMCG60AHE3/57T maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range per the published electrical characteristics table.
