Product details
Overview
SMPC75ANHM3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in the SMPC (TO-277A) package, designed for high-energy surge protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 75.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 83.3–92.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 121 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 12.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1500 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 μs waveform - ideal for automotive sensor line protection against load dump and inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMPC75ANHM3/H datasheet, SMPC75ANHM3/H pinout, SMPC75ANHM3/H application, or SMPC75ANHM3/H equivalent, this AEC-Q101 qualified TVS offers verified clamping performance, low-profile mounting (1.1 mm height), and halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction suitable for automated placement in harsh-environment automotive and industrial designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, leveraging silicon p-n junction physics to clamp transient overvoltages above its VWM threshold while maintaining low leakage (<1.0 μA at 75.0 V). Its TO-277A package enables dual-anode/cathode terminal configuration for enhanced thermal dissipation when mounted with cathode on heatsink.
The SMPC75ANHM3/H delivers stable clamping under repetitive surge conditions up to TJ = 150 °C, with thermal resistance RθJM of 2.5–3.0 °C/W (junction-to-mount) and RθJA of 85–100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient on FR4, 2 oz copper). It meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and passes JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing.

Use Value: Sub-1.1 mm height allows placement adjacent to QFN-packaged drivers; 1.0 μA IR at 75 V prevents standby current leakage in battery-backed systems. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ75A-H | DO-214AC package; 75 V VWM; 1500 W PPPM; higher RθJA (140 °C/W); no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Limited to industrial/commercial use; unsuitable for under-hood automotive due to thermal and qualification gaps. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and board space permits larger footprint. |
| SMCJ75A-Q | SMC (DO-214AB) package; same 75 V VWM and 1500 W PPPM; AEC-Q101 qualified; 2.3 mm height vs. 1.1 mm. | Higher profile restricts use in ultra-thin modules; identical clamping but lower thermal efficiency in confined spaces. | Choose where existing SMC footprint exists and vertical clearance >2.3 mm is available. |
Compared with SMAJ75A-H and SMCJ75A-Q, the SMPC75ANHM3/H provides superior thermal performance (RθJM ≤3.0 °C/W), lowest profile (1.1 mm), and AEC-Q101 validation - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability automotive electronics where junction temperature control and qualification traceability are critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMPC75ANHM3/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMPC75ANHM3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 12.4 A using a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay Document 89116 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMPC75ANHM3/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range up to +150 °C junction temperature.
Is SMPC75ANHM3/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMPC75ANHM3/H is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the "Ordering Information" and "Features" sections of Vishay Document 89116. The HM3 suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101-qualified construction. It is approved for use in automotive subsystems including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces where reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is mandatory.
What does the "H" in SMPC75ANHM3/H signify?
The "H" in SMPC75ANHM3/H is the preferred package code indicating 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel packaging with a base quantity of 1500 units. This is defined in the "Ordering Information" table on page 3 of Vishay Document 89116. It is distinct from the "I" code (13-inch reel, 6500 units) and does not affect electrical or thermal specifications of the SMPC75ANHM3/H device itself.
How does the SMPC75ANHM3/H package differ from standard SMA or SMB packages?
The SMPC75ANHM3/H uses the SMPC (TO-277A) package - a 3-terminal, low-profile (1.1 mm) surface-mount case with dual-anode terminals and a single cathode, optimized for thermal performance via heatsink mounting. Unlike 2-terminal SMA/SMB packages, SMPC's dual-anode configuration reduces effective thermal resistance (RθJM ≤3.0 °C/W) and supports higher surge repetition rates in confined automotive layouts.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SMPC75ANHM3/H at its stand-off voltage?
The SMPC75ANHM3/H exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 μA at its stand-off voltage (VWM) of 75.0 V, measured at TA = 25 °C per Vishay Document 89116. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on automotive circuits and prevents false triggering in high-impedance sensor signal paths, preserving accuracy and battery life in 12 V systems.
