Product details

600 W Zener TVS – AEC-Q101, DO-214AA

Its 12.8 V reverse standoff voltage and 14.3 V minimum breakdown voltage define the clamping threshold, with a maximum clamping voltage of 21.2 V at 28 A peak pulse current. The 645 pF capacitance at 1 MHz is typical for this power class and should be considered when protecting high-speed signal lines.

Obsolete – Sourcing Through Authorized Channels

No official successor is named in the available records. For existing BOM lines, buyers should confirm whether the P6SMB15CA (non-automotive grade) or another AEC-Q101 rated TVS in the same package and power class is a functional drop-in.

Package and Mounting – DO-214AA (SMB)

The SMB footprint is shared with many TVS diodes in the 600 W class, easing second-source evaluation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between P6SMB15CAT3 and P6SMB15CA?

The P6SMB15CAT3 carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification; the P6SMB15CA does not. Both are bidirectional Zener TVS diodes with the same 600 W rating, 12.8 V standoff, and DO-214AA package. The 'T3' suffix indicates the tape-and-reel packaging variant.

Can P6SMB15CAT3 be used in automotive applications?

Yes, it is specifically qualified to AEC-Q101, making it suitable for automotive-grade designs including under-hood and body electronics. The -65°C to 150°C junction temperature range covers the full automotive thermal envelope.
