Device identity and family lineage
The P6SMB11CAT3 is a TVS diode from onsemi, part of the P6SMB series — a 600 W peak pulse power family commonly used for transient voltage suppression on low-voltage supply rails and signal lines.
Obsolete — planning the BOM transition
onsemi lists the P6SMB11CAT3 as Obsolete. For sustainment programs, this means the last-time-buy window has closed; any remaining stock is what is available through independent distribution. The base product number P6SMB ties this part to a well-documented TVS family, so parametric cross-referencing to a non-obsolete sibling or a second-source equivalent is straightforward for the design engineer.
Sourcing posture for obsolete inventory
Because the part is obsolete, no new factory orders are accepted. Availability is limited to existing distributor and broker stock.
