Product details
Overview
SMP6.0A-M3/84A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount TransZORB® transient voltage suppressor in the SMP (DO-220AA) package, rated for 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 6.0 V stand-off voltage, and 38.8 A peak pulse current. It clamps transients to 10.3 V at IPPM and operates from −55 °C to +150 °C, protecting MOSFETs and ICs in power supply input stages.
For engineers reviewing the SMP6.0A-M3/84A datasheet, SMP6.0A-M3/84A pinout, SMP6.0A-M3/84A application, or SMP6.0A-M3/84A equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage at rated surge current, unidirectional polarity, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, 1.0 mm profile for space-constrained PCBs, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction.
Technical Context
This device functions as a unidirectional TVS diode with avalanche breakdown behavior, designed to shunt transient energy away from sensitive downstream circuitry during ESD or inductive switching events. Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time ensure effective suppression of sub-microsecond transients without latch-up or thermal runaway.
The SMP6.0A-M3/84A uses a planar junction structure in a molded DO-220AA case with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. It meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements, supporting automated SMT placement on standard 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power (10/1000 μs) | 400 W - sustains high-energy surges without failure under standardized lightning-surge test conditions |
| Stand-off Voltage (VWM) | 6.0 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; sets operating margin below clamping threshold |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) at IPPM | 10.3 V - maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during 38.8 A transient, defining safe overvoltage headroom |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 6.67–7.37 V at 10 mA - ensures reliable turn-on above VWM while avoiding false triggering |
| Operating Temperature Range | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports deployment in automotive engine bays and industrial motor drives |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level | MSL Level 1 - no dry-pack or bake-out required prior to reflow, simplifying manufacturing flow |
| Package | SMP (DO-220AA) - ultra-low 1.0 mm height enables use in slim consumer enclosures and dense power modules |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMP (DO-220AA), surface-mount, unidirectional, cathode indicated by color band. Dimensions: 3.61 mm × 1.88 mm × 1.0 mm (L × W × H), with 2.54 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ6.0A-E3/5A | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 1.9 mm height; 400 W rating; VWM = 6.0 V; VC = 10.5 V at 38.5 A | Higher profile limits use in ultra-thin designs; same electrical performance but larger footprint | Select when existing SMA footprint is fixed and board height > 1.9 mm is acceptable |

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMP6.0A-M3/84A under rated surge conditions?
The SMP6.0A-M3/84A exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 10.3 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 38.8 A using the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at the device terminals under standardized test conditions with 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per lead, and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The SMP6.0A-M3/84A maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the SMP6.0A-M3/84A suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification?
The SMP6.0A-M3/84A is not AEC-Q200 qualified. While it operates from −55 °C to +150 °C and is used in automotive body control modules, Vishay does not list this specific part number under its AEC-Q200-qualified portfolio. For AEC-Q200-compliant TVS solutions, engineers should consult Vishay's Automotive-grade SMP series variants explicitly marked with "-AEC" suffixes. The SMP6.0A-M3/84A remains appropriate for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems where qualification is not mandated.
Does the SMP6.0A-M3/84A have bidirectional or unidirectional polarity?
The SMP6.0A-M3/84A is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor, as confirmed by its electrical characteristics table (VBR specified only for reverse bias) and marking code "AG" in the Vishay SMP3V3–SMP36A datasheet. Its cathode is identified by a color band, and it conducts only during reverse overvoltage events-making it suitable for DC line protection where polarity is fixed. It must not be used in AC-coupled or bidirectional signal paths without external circuitry.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for optimal thermal and surge performance of the SMP6.0A-M3/84A?
Vishay specifies a minimum pad layout of 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper areas attached to each terminal of the SMP6.0A-M3/84A for rated 400 W pulse power dissipation. These pads must be connected to internal ground or power planes via multiple thermal vias to minimize junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Deviation from this layout reduces surge current capability and increases clamping voltage due to trace inductance and thermal impedance-directly impacting the SMP6.0A-M3/84A's real-world protection margin.
How does the M3/84A suffix affect the specifications of the SMP6.0A-M3/84A?
"M3" denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, industrial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads passing JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing; "84A" specifies packaging in 7-inch plastic tape-and-reel format with 3000 units per reel. Neither suffix alters electrical or thermal specifications-the SMP6.0A-M3/84A shares identical VWM, VC, PPPM, and TJ ratings with other SMP6.0A variants. The M3/84A designation solely reflects environmental compliance and logistics configuration for the SMP6.0A-M3/84A.
