P6SMB200CA-M3/52 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P6SMB200CA-M3/52 is a bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division, designed for general-purpose overvoltage protection applications. This surface-mount component operates in the 171V reverse standoff range with a 274V maximum clamping voltage and 2.2A peak pulse current capability. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for modern electronic circuit protection requirements.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required for manufacturing processes, or when sourcing from different manufacturers is preferred for supply chain optimization.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the P6SMB200CA-M3/52 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 171V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 190V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 274V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 2.2A
• Power - Peak Pulse: 600W
• Package / Case: DO-214AA, SMB
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Type: Zener
• Bidirectional Channels: 1

Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical performance characteristics across all voltage and current parameters. Packaging format variations (Tape & Box, Tape & Reel, Cut Tape) are acceptable as they represent different distribution methods for the same component. Manufacturer differences are acceptable provided all electrical and mechanical specifications remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain Active product status and full compliance with RoHS regulations, ensuring long-term availability and environmental compliance. Selection between equivalent parts should be based on packaging format requirements for your manufacturing process:

• P6SMB200CA-M3/52 and P6SMB200CA-E3/52 are both Vishay products with identical electrical specifications, differing only in packaging format (Tape & Box versus Tape & Reel).
• SMBJP6KE200CA-TP from Micro Commercial Co provides an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C) compared to the primary part (-65°C to 150°C), offering broader thermal performance capability.
• P6SMB200CA from Eaton is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® formats, providing alternative distribution options while maintaining equivalent electrical performance.

All parts are certified ROHS3 or RoHS compliant and carry MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P6SMB200CA-E3/52 be used as a direct replacement for P6SMB200CA-M3/52?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay and maintain identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: 171V reverse standoff, 274V clamping voltage, and 2.2A peak pulse current. The only difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Tape & Box), which does not affect component performance.

Q: What is the difference between the Vishay and Micro Commercial Co versions?

A: The SMBJP6KE200CA-TP from Micro Commercial Co provides an extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 175°C compared to Vishay's -65°C to 150°C. All other electrical parameters remain identical. Selection depends on your application's thermal requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts surface-mount compatible?

A: Yes. All listed parts use the DO-214AA (SMB) package format and are designed for surface-mount assembly. They are compatible with standard SMB footprints and reflow soldering processes.

Q: Do packaging format differences affect circuit performance?

A: No. Packaging formats (Tape & Box, Tape & Reel, Cut Tape) represent different distribution and handling methods only. They do not affect electrical performance, thermal characteristics, or reliability of the component itself.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All listed parts carry either ROHS3 or RoHS compliance certification, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for modern electronics manufacturing.

Q: What does MSL 1 rating mean?

A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) 1 indicates unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. These components do not require special moisture-controlled storage or baking procedures prior to assembly.
