Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the P6SMB130CAHM3_A/I is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 111V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 124V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 179V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 3.4A
• Power - Peak Pulse: 600W
• Package / Case: DO-214AA, SMB
• Bidirectional Channels: 1
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 150°C (TJ)
• Automotive Grade and AEC-Q101 Qualification

The substitute part P6SMB130CAHM3_B/I maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing only in product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. bulk).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P6SMB130CAHM3_B/I is the direct equivalent for the obsolete P6SMB130CAHM3_A/I. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay and carry identical electrical specifications, automotive grade classification, and AEC-Q101 qualification. The primary distinction is product status: the _B/I variant is currently active in production, while the _A/I is obsolete.

For new designs or ongoing procurement, the P6SMB130CAHM3_B/I should be selected. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for telecom applications requiring 111V standoff voltage protection with 600W peak pulse power handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P6SMB130CAHM3_B/I replace P6SMB130CAHM3_A/I in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The _B/I variant is the active production equivalent of the obsolete _A/I.

Q: What is the difference between the _A/I and _B/I designations?

A: The suffix designates the packaging format and product lifecycle status. The _A/I is obsolete bulk packaging, while _B/I is active production in Tape & Reel format. Electrical specifications are identical.

Q: Are both parts automotive qualified?

A: Yes. Both P6SMB130CAHM3_A/I and P6SMB130CAHM3_B/I carry Automotive Grade classification and AEC-Q101 qualification.

Q: What is the DO-214AA (SMB) package?

A: DO-214AA, commonly referred to as SMB (Surface Mount Body), is a surface mount diode package. Both parts use this identical package, ensuring mechanical compatibility on PCBs.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical environmental and regulatory classifications.

Q: What applications are these parts suitable for?

A: Both parts are specified for telecom applications requiring transient voltage suppression at 111V standoff voltage with 600W peak pulse power handling capability.
