Product details
Overview
T6N47CAHM3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount PAR® Transient Voltage Suppressor in DFN3820A package, with 47 V nominal breakdown voltage (±5 %), 40.2 V stand-off voltage, 64.8 V maximum clamping voltage at 9.3 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, targeting automotive sensor line protection.
For engineers reviewing the T6N47CAHM3/I datasheet, T6N47CAHM3/I pinout, T6N47CAHM3/I application, or T6N47CAHM3/I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package dimensions, clamping behavior under surge, thermal resistance (RθJA = 140–175 °C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification status - all critical for automotive-grade transient suppression design.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to achieve stable bidirectional clamping across -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range. Its DFN3820A package features side-wettable flanks for AOI compatibility and supports automated placement without cathode marking.
It delivers 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) with 64.8 V clamping at 9.3 A, while maintaining ≤1.0 μA reverse leakage at 40.2 V (TA = 25 °C) and ≤1.0 μA at TJ = 150 °C - enabling robust protection of low-voltage signal lines in harsh environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (Nominal) | 47 V ±5 % - defines precise voltage threshold where avalanche conduction begins reliably |
| VWM | 40.2 V - maximum continuous working voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | 64.8 V at 9.3 A - clamping voltage during 10/1000 μs surge, limiting downstream IC stress |
| PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 μs) - peak transient energy absorption capability per single event |
| TJ max | +185 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments without derating |
| ESD Immunity | ±30 kV (IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air) - protects against human-body-model and system-level ESD events |
| RθJA | 140–175 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient on standard FR4 PCB, guiding heatsinking needs |
Pinout & Package
DFN3820A package: 2-terminal, leadless, bidirectional configuration with no polarity marking. Dimensions: 3.95 mm × 2.18 mm × 0.88 mm (L × W × H), side-wettable flanks for solder joint inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Infotainment Interface Lines |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN bus and analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) from load-dump and ESD transients in vehicle cabins. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional voltage clamp placed directly at connector entry point to shunt surges before reaching MCU ADC inputs. Use Value: Clamps 10/1000 μs transients to ≤64.8 V while maintaining <1.0 μA leakage at 40.2 V - preserving signal integrity and preventing false triggers. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding USB 2.0, HDMI, or audio differential pairs in head units against hot-plug ESD and cable-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS placed adjacent to connector to suppress fast transients without distorting high-speed signals. Use Value: 600 W peak power handling and ±30 kV ESD immunity ensure reliable interface operation without signal degradation or latch-up. |
| ADAS Camera Power Rails | Body Control Module (BCM) Inputs |
Use Scenario: Protecting 5 V or 12 V camera module power inputs from ISO 7637-2 pulses and ignition noise in forward-facing ADAS systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on power rail, coordinated with upstream fuse and downstream LDO. Use Value: 185 °C TJ rating allows direct placement near heat-generating image sensors; 64.8 V clamping prevents LDO overvoltage failure during load dump. | Use Scenario: Shielding discrete input pins (e.g., door lock switch, window motor feedback) from inductive kickback in BCM PCBs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Point-of-use TVS on each switch input trace to localize surge energy and avoid shared-path coupling. Use Value: DFN3820A footprint enables dense placement; bidirectional symmetry eliminates orientation errors during automated assembly. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ47CA-Q | DO-214AC package (SMA), higher RθJA (~190 °C/W), same VBR/VC specs | Larger footprint, less suitable for ultra-dense automotive PCBs; no side-wettable flanks | Preferred when legacy SMA layout exists and AOI is not required |
| TPSMD47CA | DO-214AB (SMC) package, 1500 W PPPM, higher VC (77 V), larger size | Better for high-energy surges but incompatible with space-constrained modules like radar ECUs | Select when surge energy exceeds 600 W and board area permits larger case |
Compared with SMAJ47CA-Q and TPSMD47CA, the T6N47CAHM3/I offers superior board-space efficiency, AOI-ready construction, and tighter thermal performance in automotive under-hood zones - making it optimal for next-generation compact, high-reliability modules where footprint and manufacturability are critical.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance of the T6N47CAHM3/I?
The T6N47CAHM3/I has a nominal breakdown voltage of 47 V with a tolerance of ±5 %, meaning its actual VBR falls between 44.7 V and 49.4 V at 1.0 mA test current. This tight tolerance ensures consistent clamping onset across production lots and supports precise circuit margining in automotive designs where overvoltage thresholds must be tightly controlled.
Is the T6N47CAHM3/I suitable for under-hood automotive applications?
Yes, the T6N47CAHM3/I is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 and rated for a maximum junction temperature of +185 °C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications such as engine control units, transmission control modules, and radar sensors. Its DFN3820A package maintains mechanical and electrical integrity at elevated ambient temperatures without derating below 150 °C.
Does the T6N47CAHM3/I require polarity-aware PCB layout?
No - the T6N47CAHM3/I is a bidirectional TVS diode with no cathode band or polarity marking. Both terminals are functionally identical, allowing unrestricted orientation during automated placement. This eliminates orientation-related assembly errors and simplifies layout for differential or AC-coupled signal lines.
What is the peak pulse current rating of the T6N47CAHM3/I at 10/1000 μs?
The T6N47CAHM3/I is rated for 9.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is derived from its 600 W peak pulse power rating and 64.8 V clamping voltage (P = V × I), and is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Table "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" for the T6N47CA variant.
How does the DFN3820A package of the T6N47CAHM3/I support automated optical inspection (AOI)?
The DFN3820A package of the T6N47CAHM3/I features side-wettable flanks - exposed metal on the vertical edges of the terminals - enabling standard AOI systems to inspect solder joint quality without requiring X-ray. This capability reduces post-reflow defect escapes and supports high-yield automotive manufacturing where zero-defect assembly is mandatory.
