Product details
Overview
T6N27CAHM3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount PAR® Transient Voltage Suppressor in DFN3820A package, featuring 27.0 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR), 23.1 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 37.5 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 16.0 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating (10/1000 μs). It is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for TJ = 185 °C, designed for automotive sensor signal line protection against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the T6N27CAHM3/H datasheet, T6N27CAHM3/H pinout, T6N27CAHM3/H application, or T6N27CAHM3/H equivalent, this device delivers verified bidirectional clamping performance, side-wettable flanks for AOI compatibility, and high-temperature reliability in compact DFN3820A footprint-critical for space-constrained automotive ECUs and ADAS sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology with junction passivation optimized for stable breakdown behavior under thermal stress. Its bidirectional configuration enables symmetrical transient suppression on AC-coupled or differential signal lines without polarity constraints.
The DFN3820A package provides low thermal resistance (RθJM = 5 °C/W typ.) and supports automated placement with matte tin-plated terminals compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. It meets MSL Level 1 and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 25.7 / 27.0 / 28.4 V - Ensures reliable conduction onset above system operating voltage while accommodating ±5 % tolerance |
| VWM | 23.1 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 μA, defining safe operating margin for 24 V automotive systems |
| VC @ IPPM | 37.5 V - Clamped voltage at 16.0 A peak pulse current, limiting downstream IC stress during 600 W transients |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ28A-E3/57T | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 28 V VBR; 400 W PPPM; unidirectional; RθJA = 50 °C/W | Requires polarity-aware layout; higher thermal resistance limits sustained surge duty cycle | Use where legacy SMA footprint exists and bidirectionality is not required; avoid in new AEC-Q101 designs |
| SMCJ28CA | DO-214AB (SMC) package; 28 V VBR; 1500 W PPPM; bidirectional; RθJA = 15 °C/W | Larger 7.11 mm × 6.22 mm footprint; higher clamping voltage (45.4 V) reduces system margin | Select when higher single-pulse energy handling is critical and board space permits larger case outline |
Compared with SMAJ28A-E3/57T and SMCJ28CA, T6N27CAHM3/H offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 compliance, compact DFN3820A footprint, 600 W capability, and 37.5 V clamping-making it the preferred choice for new automotive sensor and communication interface designs requiring AOI support and high-temperature operation.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance of T6N27CAHM3/H?
The T6N27CAHM3/H has a ±5 % breakdown voltage tolerance, confirmed by its "CA" suffix per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. Its specified VBR range is 25.7 V (min) to 28.4 V (max) at 1.0 mA test current, with 27.0 V nominal value. This tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots while allowing design margin for worst-case system overvoltage conditions.
Is T6N27CAHM3/H compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, T6N27CAHM3/H is fully compatible with lead-free reflow processes. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 and supports a maximum peak reflow temperature of 260 °C. The matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and the HM3 suffix confirms qualification to JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Does T6N27CAHM3/H require a heatsink for 600 W pulse handling?
No external heatsink is required for single-pulse 600 W (10/1000 μs) events. The DFN3820A package achieves RθJM = 5 °C/W (typ.) when mounted on a standard FR4 PCB with adequate copper area. Thermal simulations per JEDEC 51-14 confirm junction temperature remains within 185 °C limit for ≤1 pulse/second duty cycle under typical board layouts.
How does the side-wettable flank design of T6N27CAHM3/H benefit manufacturing?
The side-wettable flanks on T6N27CAHM3/H enable reliable Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) of solder joint quality on both terminals-eliminating the need for X-ray inspection in high-volume automotive SMT lines. This reduces final-test cost and improves first-pass yield, especially critical for safety-critical modules where zero-defect soldering is mandated.
Can T6N27CAHM3/H be used in place of unidirectional TVS diodes?
T6N27CAHM3/H is strictly bidirectional and must not replace unidirectional TVS diodes in DC-biased circuits without circuit review. Its symmetrical V-I curve provides equal clamping in both polarities, making it suitable for AC-coupled or floating signal lines-but unsuitable for protecting single-rail logic inputs where reverse conduction would cause malfunction or damage.
