Product details
Overview
SMPC75ANHM3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in the eSMP® SMPC (TO-277A) package, designed for high-energy surge protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 75 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 83.3–92.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 12.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 121 V clamping voltage (VC), and 1500 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 μs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the SMPC75ANHM3/I datasheet, SMPC75ANHM3/I pinout, SMPC75ANHM3/I application, or SMPC75ANHM3/I equivalent, this device is selected for automotive-grade transient suppression in power rails and signal lines where AEC-Q101 qualification, low profile (1.1 mm height), and fast response time are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates in avalanche mode to clamp transient overvoltages before they damage downstream components. Its unidirectional polarity enables integration into DC-biased circuits such as automotive power supplies and sensor interfaces, with cathode band marking for orientation.
The SMPC75ANHM3/I is thermally optimized for FR4 PCB mounting (2 oz copper), exhibiting RθJA ≤ 100 °C/W and RθJM ≤ 3 °C/W. It meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow) and passes JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing, confirming robustness for automated SMT assembly.
Key Specifications

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 | DO-214AC package; 75 V VWM; 1500 W PPPM; unidirectional; no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Lacks automotive qualification; higher profile (2.3 mm); suitable for industrial/commercial boards only. | Select SMAJ75A when AEC-Q101 is not required and board height budget permits larger package. |
| SMCJ75A | DO-214AB package; 75 V VWM; 1500 W PPPM; unidirectional; no AEC-Q101; RθJA ≈ 15°C/W (higher thermal resistance). | Lower power density and inferior thermal performance; not qualified for automotive under-hood use. | Choose SMCJ75A only for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where footprint and thermal constraints are less stringent. |
Compared with SMAJ75A and SMCJ75A, SMPC75ANHM3/I delivers automotive-grade reliability in a 1.1 mm low-profile package with superior thermal resistance (RθJM ≤ 3 °C/W), making it the sole option among the three qualified for AEC-Q101 and optimized for space-constrained automotive power rail protection.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMPC75ANHM3/I?
SMPC75ANHM3/I is a unidirectional TVS diode with anode-cathode-anode (A-K-A) terminal arrangement in the SMPC (TO-277A) package. The cathode band marks the center terminal, and both outer terminals serve as symmetrical anodes-enabling balanced current sharing and reduced effective surge resistance during clamping events.
Is SMPC75ANHM3/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMPC75ANHM3/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation for the SMPC22AN through SMPC85AN family. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD, making SMPC75ANHM3/I suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics.
What is the clamping voltage of SMPC75ANHM3/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The clamping voltage (VC) of SMPC75ANHM3/I is 121 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 12.4 A with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured with the cathode mounted on heatsink per the datasheet test condition and defines the maximum voltage imposed on protected circuitry during surge events.
Does SMPC75ANHM3/I require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes-SMPC75ANHM3/I benefits from symmetric copper pour on both anode pads and direct thermal connection from the cathode pad to internal ground/power planes. Vishay recommends using the standard FR4 footprint with 2 oz copper to achieve RθJA ≤ 100 °C/W and ensure reliable 1500 W pulse handling without thermal runaway.
What does the "/I" suffix indicate in SMPC75ANHM3/I?
The "/I" suffix in SMPC75ANHM3/I denotes the preferred packaging option: 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 6500 units. This format supports high-volume automated SMT assembly and is distinct from the "/H" variant (7-inch reel, 1500 units), both sharing identical electrical and mechanical specifications.
