Product details
Overview
SMPC85ANHM3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the TRANSZORB® family, designed for high-energy surge protection on power and signal lines. It features a 85 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 94.4–104 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 10.9 A peak pulse current, and 137 V maximum clamping voltage at IPPM - deployed in automotive sensor interfaces and industrial power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the SMPC85ANHM3/H datasheet, SMPC85ANHM3/H pinout, SMPC85ANHM3/H application, or SMPC85ANHM3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, TO-277A (SMPC) package compatibility, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, and thermal performance under FR4 PCB mounting conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon avalanche diode optimized for fast response (<1 ns) to transient overvoltages induced by inductive switching or ESD events. Its low incremental surge resistance and tight VBR tolerance (±5%) ensure consistent clamping behavior across temperature (−55 °C to +150 °C junction).
The SMPC85ANHM3/H uses a dual-anode/single-cathode configuration in the SMPC (TO-277A) package, enabling symmetrical heat dissipation when mounted with cathode on heatsink - validated per JEDEC 51-14 TDIM for RθJM ≤ 3 °C/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 85 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 μA |
| VBR min/max | 94.4 V / 104 V at 1 mA - defines guaranteed avalanche onset range for design margining |
| VC at IPPM | 137 V - clamping voltage under 10.9 A 10/1000 μs surge, limiting downstream IC stress |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak surge power handling capability per standard waveform, critical for IEC 61000-4-5 compliance |
| TJ max | +150 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments without derating |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - thermal resistance to ambient on FR4, informs PCB copper area requirements |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - protects against positive transients only; requires correct cathode orientation |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMPC (TO-277A), surface-mount, 3-terminal, very low profile (1.1 mm typical height), halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified. Cathode marked by band.
| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ85A-HF | DO-214AC (SMA) package, 100 W PPPM, 85 V VWM, unidirectional | Lower surge rating limits use to sub-100 W applications; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and high-energy surge needs |

FAQ
What is the peak pulse power rating of SMPC85ANHM3/H and under what test condition?
The SMPC85ANHM3/H has a peak pulse power rating (PPPM) of 1500 W, measured using the standardized 10/1000 μs double-exponential current waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. This rating applies at TA = 25 °C and is derated linearly above that temperature per Figure 2 in the datasheet. The value reflects real-world surge immunity for automotive load-dump and industrial switching transients.
Is SMPC85ANHM3/H suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, SMPC85ANHM3/H is strictly unidirectional - it conducts only when the cathode is more positive than either anode. For bidirectional protection, two SMPC85ANHM3/H devices must be connected in series opposition, or a dedicated bidirectional part such as SMPC85AT should be selected. The device marking and cathode band confirm its unidirectional polarity.
What does the "HM3/H" suffix indicate in SMPC85ANHM3/H?
The "HM3" denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification; "/H" specifies the preferred packaging code - 7-inch plastic tape and reel with 1500 units per reel. This ordering format ensures traceability, automated placement compatibility, and compliance alignment with automotive supply chain requirements for the SMPC85ANHM3/H.
How is thermal performance characterized for SMPC85ANHM3/H on a standard PCB?
SMPC85ANHM3/H exhibits RθJA ≤ 100 °C/W when mounted on a 2 oz. FR4 PCB with the standard footprint per JEDEC 51-2A. Its RθJM ≤ 3 °C/W (junction-to-mount) supports efficient heat transfer to external heatsinks when the cathode pad is thermally connected - a key advantage over SMA/SMB packages in high-reliability power rail protection.
Does SMPC85ANHM3/H require special handling during reflow soldering?
No special handling is required: SMPC85ANHM3/H meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and withstands lead-free reflow peaks up to 260 °C. Its matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, ensuring reliable wetting and joint integrity without pre-baking or dry-pack requirements - simplifying manufacturing for the SMPC85ANHM3/H.
