Product details
Overview
SMPC75AN-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the TRANSZORB® family, designed for high-energy surge protection on DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 75 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 - suitable for automotive-grade ESD and load-dump protection in engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the SMPC75AN-M3/H datasheet, SMPC75AN-M3/H pinout, SMPC75AN-M3/H application, or SMPC75AN-M3/H equivalent, this device is evaluated for robust transient immunity in AEC-Q101-compliant automotive subsystems, industrial sensor interfaces, and 24 V/48 V DC power distribution where low-profile surface-mount clamping and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility are required.
Technical Context
The SMPC75AN-M3/H employs a planar junction silicon avalanche structure optimized for fast response (<1 ns) to transient overvoltages and low incremental surge resistance (typ. <0.3 Ω). Its unidirectional configuration enables integration into polarity-sensitive DC circuits without reverse-bias leakage concerns above 75 V.
Thermally, it uses the SMPC (TO-277A) package with dual anode/cathode terminals mounted on FR4 PCBs, delivering RθJA ≤ 100 °C/W and RθJM ≤ 3 °C/W - enabling sustained 1.25 W power dissipation at 25 °C ambient and operation up to +150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin for 24 V/48 V systems. |
| VBR min/max | 83.3 V / 92.1 V at 1.0 mA - Tight breakdown tolerance ensures predictable turn-on across temperature and production lot. |
| VC @ IPPM | 121 V at 12.4 A (10/1000 μs) - Clamping voltage directly limits downstream IC stress during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients. |

Pinout & Package
SMPC75AN-M3/H uses the SMPC (TO-277A) package: a 3-terminal surface-mount device with cathode band marking, matte tin-plated leads, and UL 94 V-0 molding compound. Dimensions conform to JEDEC TO-277A: 4.80 × 3.70 × 1.10 mm (L × W × H), with recommended pad layout per datasheet Figure 5.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode 1 & Anode 2 | Common anode connection | Internally tied anodes allow bidirectional mounting flexibility while maintaining unidirectional clamping behavior from cathode to either anode. |
| Cathode | Clamping output terminal | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when voltage exceeds VBR; marked by cathode band. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional clamping | Enables precise placement on positive-rail protection paths without reverse conduction risk during normal operation. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood environments including thermal cycling (-55 °C to +150 °C) and humidity bias testing. |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C peak without preconditioning - eliminates moisture sensitivity handling overhead. |
| Low-profile SMPC package | 1.1 mm height enables use in space-constrained ECUs and ADAS camera modules where Z-height is critical. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS | Complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and IEC 61249-2-21; no brominated flame retardants in molding compound. |

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-E3/5A | DO-214AC package; 75 V VWM; 1500 W PPPM; higher RθJA (150 °C/W); non-AEC-Q101. | Limited to industrial/commercial use; unsuitable for under-hood automotive due to thermal and qualification gaps. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and thermal performance requirements. |
| 1.5KE75A | DO-201AD axial-leaded package; same VWM/PPPM; 1.5 kW rating; not surface-mount; no MSL rating. | Requires through-hole assembly; incompatible with automated SMT lines and compact PCB layouts. | Choose only for legacy repair, prototyping, or non-automated production where board real estate is unconstrained. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMPC75AN-M3/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMPC75AN-M3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V at 12.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the 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 - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Is SMPC75AN-M3/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMPC75AN-M3/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the "Ordering Information" table and "Features" section of Vishay Document 89116. The HM3 suffix variant is explicitly designated for automotive use, and SMPC75AN-M3/H shares identical die and qualification testing - making it suitable for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS systems requiring certified reliability.
What does the "/H" suffix indicate in SMPC75AN-M3/H?
The "/H" suffix in SMPC75AN-M3/H denotes the preferred package code for 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel delivery, containing 1500 units per reel. This packaging format is optimized for high-speed pick-and-place assembly and aligns with JEDEC standard carrier specifications for SMPC devices.
How does the SMPC (TO-277A) package differ from SMA or SMB packages in thermal performance?
The SMPC (TO-277A) package used by SMPC75AN-M3/H achieves RθJM ≤ 3 °C/W - significantly lower than SMA (RθJM ≈ 15 °C/W) or SMB (RθJM ≈ 10 °C/W) - due to its dual-anode thermal path and larger copper exposure. This allows SMPC75AN-M3/H to sustain higher surge duty cycles in thermally constrained automotive modules without exceeding TJ max = +150 °C.
Can SMPC75AN-M3/H be used in bidirectional transient protection circuits?
No, SMPC75AN-M3/H is strictly unidirectional, as stated in the "Primary Characteristics" and "Features" sections of Document 89116. Its internal structure supports clamping only from cathode to anode. For bidirectional protection, Vishay recommends paired unidirectional devices or dedicated bidirectional variants like SMPC75CA, which are explicitly marked and characterized for symmetrical clamping.
