Product details
Overview
T6N62CAHM3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount PAR® Transient Voltage Suppressor in DFN3820A package, rated for 62 V breakdown voltage (±5 %), 53.0 V stand-off voltage, and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs). It delivers 7.1 A peak pulse current and clamps to 85.0 V at that current, with 185 °C maximum junction temperature - designed for automotive-grade ESD and surge protection on signal lines and sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the T6N62CAHM3/I datasheet, T6N62CAHM3/I pinout, T6N62CAHM3/I application, or T6N62CAHM3/I equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, side-wettable DFN3820A footprint for AOI compatibility, bidirectional clamping behavior, TJ = 185 °C capability, and 30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity - all critical for robust automotive electronics design.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for high-temperature stability and low-leakage performance. Its bidirectional configuration enables symmetrical clamping across both polarities without polarity marking, and its DFN3820A package supports automated placement with solderable matte tin terminals meeting J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
The device operates over -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range and exhibits 1.0 μA max reverse leakage at VWM (53.0 V) and 1.0 μA at TJ = 150 °C. Thermal resistance is characterized as RθJA ≤ 175 °C/W (JEDEC 51-2A) and RθJM ≤ 6.5 °C/W (JEDEC 51-14), enabling reliable thermal management in compact automotive PCB layouts.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance of the T6N62CAHM3/I?
The T6N62CAHM3/I has a breakdown voltage tolerance of ±5 %, with a specified range of 58.9 V (min) to 65.1 V (max) at 1.0 mA test current. This tight tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports precise circuit protection design in automotive applications where voltage margins are constrained.
Is the T6N62CAHM3/I suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
Yes, the T6N62CAHM3/I is explicitly designed as a bidirectional TVS diode - confirmed by its "CA" suffix (indicating ±5 %, bidirectional) and absence of cathode marking. It provides symmetrical clamping on both polarities, making it ideal for protecting differential buses like CAN FD, LIN, and analog sensor pairs without polarity concerns during layout or assembly.
Does the T6N62CAHM3/I meet AEC-Q101 qualification requirements?
Yes, the T6N62CAHM3/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "H" in its ordering code and documented in Vishay's official datasheet (Doc. #98489, Rev. 17-Oct-2023). This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life - validating its suitability for automotive under-hood and cabin applications.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the T6N62CAHM3/I?
The T6N62CAHM3/I is rated for a maximum junction temperature of +185 °C, enabling reliable operation in high-thermal-load automotive environments such as engine control units and battery management systems. This rating supports extended lifetime and stable clamping performance under sustained elevated ambient temperatures up to +125 °C with appropriate PCB thermal design.
How does the DFN3820A package of the T6N62CAHM3/I support automated optical inspection?
The DFN3820A package of the T6N62CAHM3/I features side-wettable flanks - exposed copper terminations along the package edges - allowing solder joint quality to be verified using standard AOI systems without requiring X-ray imaging. This capability reduces post-SMT inspection cost and improves first-pass yield in high-volume automotive electronics manufacturing.
