Product details
Overview
T6N30AHM3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® Transient Voltage Suppressor in DFN3820A package, rated for 30 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR), 25.6 V stand-off voltage (VWM), and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs). It delivers 14.5 A peak pulse current and clamps to 41.4 V at IPPM, with AEC-Q101 qualification and 185 °C junction temperature capability for automotive sensor line protection.
For engineers reviewing the T6N30AHM3/I datasheet, T6N30AHM3/I pinout, T6N30AHM3/I application, or T6N30AHM3/I equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability transient suppression in space-constrained automotive ECUs where low-profile side-wettable flanks enable AOI-compatible assembly and TJ = 185 °C operation ensures robustness under under-hood thermal stress.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for low-leakage, stable clamping across temperature. Its unidirectional configuration supports DC-biased signal and power rail protection, with VBR temperature coefficient of +0.088 %/°C enabling predictable voltage shift over -65 °C to +185 °C operating range.
The DFN3820A package provides low thermal resistance (RθJM = 5 °C/W typical) and meets MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow), while its side-wettable flanks support automated optical inspection-critical for zero-defect automotive manufacturing flow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (Nominal) | 30.0 V - Stable breakdown threshold at 1 mA test current; defines minimum clamping onset voltage under transient stress. |
| VWM | 25.6 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage; ensures no conduction during normal system operation. |
| PPPM (10/1000 μs) | 600 W - Sustains high-energy transients (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a) without failure in automotive load-dump scenarios. |
| IPPM | 14.5 A - Peak surge current handling capacity; determines survivability against lightning-induced or inductive-switching spikes. |
| VC at IPPM | 41.4 V - Clamped voltage during max surge; limits downstream IC/MOSFET stress below safe operating thresholds. |
| TJ max | +185 °C - Enables placement near heat sources (e.g., power stages) in engine control modules without derating. |
| ESD immunity | ±30 kV (contact/air) per IEC 61000-4-2 - Protects sensor interfaces from human-body-model ESD events in assembly and field use. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN3820A - 2-terminal, leadless, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant surface-mount package with side-wettable flanks (0.88 mm height, 3.95 mm × 2.18 mm footprint); anode connected to exposed thermal pad, cathode marked by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (thermal pad) | Common reference and heat sink node | Electrically tied to PCB ground plane; primary thermal path to board; must be soldered to ≥20 mm² copper pour for RθJM ≤ 6.5 °C/W. |
| Cathode (marked side) | Transient current return path | Connected to protected line (e.g., CAN_H, LIN, sensor supply); conducts surge current to ground when V > VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TC, HAST, and ESD stress-enables direct use in ASIL-B systems without additional qualification. |
| Side-wettable flanks | Enables 100 % automated optical inspection of solder joint integrity on both terminals-eliminates X-ray requirement in Tier-1 production lines. |
| Junction passivation | Reduces IR leakage to ≤1.0 μA at VWM and ≤6.0 μA at TJ = 150 °C-preserves signal integrity on low-power sensor analog inputs. |
| Low-profile height (0.88 mm) | Permits integration beneath connectors or in stacked PCB assemblies where Z-height is constrained to <1.0 mm. |
Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | CAN Bus Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog output sensors (e.g., pressure, temperature) in engine control units from load dump and alternator ripple transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between sensor VDD and chassis ground to clamp overvoltage before it reaches ASIC input pins. Use Value: Maintains VWM = 25.6 V margin above 12 V nominal supply while clamping to 41.4 V-prevents latch-up or gate oxide damage in 3.3 V/5 V sensor interface ICs. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding high-speed CAN FD transceivers (e.g., TJA1044) against ESD and coupled surges on differential bus lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Paired unidirectional TVS devices (one per line) referenced to common ground, absorbing common-mode transients without distorting signal edges. Use Value: 41.4 V clamping voltage stays well below CAN transceiver absolute maximum ratings (typically ±40 V common-mode), preserving signal integrity up to 5 Mbps. |
| Power Rail Surge Suppression | Infotainment Display Interface Protection |
Use Scenario: Shielding 5 V/3.3 V power rails feeding ADAS camera modules from ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed at power entry point upstream of LDO regulators to absorb energy before it propagates into sensitive imaging SoCs. Use Value: 600 W peak pulse rating handles 12 V system load dump surges (up to 60 V, 100 ms) with minimal voltage overshoot due to fast response (<1 ns). | Use Scenario: Guarding MIPI DSI/CSI data lanes in digital instrument clusters against ESD during connector mating/unmating. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS (CJ ≈ 100 pF at 0 V) placed inline on each differential pair to shunt ESD without degrading 1.5 Gbps eye diagram. Use Value: Junction capacitance remains stable across bias (measured at 1 MHz), minimizing signal attenuation and jitter on high-speed serial links. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ30A | DO-214AC package (SMA), higher RθJA (≈200 °C/W), VBR = 33.3–36.8 V, IPPM = 13.9 A, VC = 48.4 V | Larger footprint (4.5 × 2.7 mm vs. 3.95 × 2.18 mm), no side-wettable flanks, not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs AOI requirements and board space permits larger package. |
| SMCJ33A-Q | DO-214AB (SMC) package, AEC-Q101 qualified, VBR = 36.7–40.6 V, IPPM = 12.3 A, VC = 53.3 V, RθJA ≈ 15 °C/W | Higher clamping voltage (53.3 V), larger size (7.1 × 6.2 mm), better thermal dissipation but incompatible with fine-pitch automated placement | Choose for higher-energy surge environments where 53.3 V clamping is acceptable and thermal management prioritizes heatsink mounting. |
