Product details
Overview
P4SMA130A-E3/5A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 130 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 124–137 V at IT = 1.0 mA), 179 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 1.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform). It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients and lightning surges in industrial and telecom power rails.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA130A-E3/5A datasheet, P4SMA130A-E3/5A pinout, P4SMA130A-E3/5A application, or P4SMA130A-E3/5A equivalent, this device delivers verified clamping performance, AEC-Q101 qualification readiness (via HE3/HM3 variants), RoHS-compliant matte tin terminations, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity - critical for automotive-grade surge protection layout validation and high-reliability board-level ESD/transient design.
Technical Context
The P4SMA130A-E3/5A operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, enabling sub-nanosecond response to transient overvoltages. Its 124–137 V breakdown range ensures precise voltage thresholding above nominal 111 V stand-off (VWM), while low incremental surge resistance maintains stable clamping under repetitive 0.01% duty cycle pulses.
Thermal design is constrained by RθJA = 120 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, on minimum pad layout) and TJ(max) = 150 °C, requiring copper pad area optimization per Vishay's recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) layout. The cathode band marking confirms polarity for correct series placement in DC power line protection.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage VBR | 124–137 V at 1.0 mA test current - defines precise conduction onset for overvoltage triggering |
| Stand-off Voltage VWM | 111 V maximum - sets safe operating DC/AC voltage limit before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA |
| Clamping Voltage VC | 179 V at 1.7 A IPPM - limits downstream component stress during 10/1000 µs surge events |
| Peak Pulse Power PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs) - supports single-event surge handling per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130A | Same VBR range (124–137 V) but SMB package (DO-214AA); 600 W PPPM rating; RθJA = 100 °C/W | Higher power handling suits higher-energy surge environments; larger footprint requires PCB redesign | Select when 600 W surge margin is required and board space permits SMB footprint |
| 1.5SMC130A | Same VBR and VC, but SMC (DO-214AB) package; 1500 W PPPM; RθJA = 60 °C/W; higher IPPM = 7.2 A | Designed for front-end AC line protection; not optimized for compact DC rail placement | Choose for primary-side AC input protection where higher surge immunity and thermal mass are prioritized |
Compared with SMBJ130A and 1.5SMC130A, the P4SMA130A-E3/5A offers optimal balance of compact SMA footprint, 400 W surge capability, and compatibility with high-density DC power rail layouts - making it preferred for secondary-side protection where space and thermal constraints dominate.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P4SMA130A-E3/5A under standard test conditions?
The P4SMA130A-E3/5A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 179 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs waveform at 1.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM). This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay document 88367 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The P4SMA130A-E3/5A maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C.
Is the P4SMA130A-E3/5A suitable for automotive applications?
The P4SMA130A-E3/5A itself is RoHS-compliant and commercial-grade; however, Vishay offers AEC-Q101-qualified versions under the HE3 and HM3 suffixes (e.g., P4SMA130AHE3_A). These qualified variants meet stress testing requirements for automotive use, including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock. For non-automotive designs, the P4SMA130A-E3/5A remains fully suitable for industrial and telecom applications requiring robust transient suppression.
What does the "E3/5A" suffix indicate in P4SMA130A-E3/5A?
The "E3" denotes RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads, while "/5A" specifies packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel containing 7500 units. This format supports high-speed automated assembly and aligns with IPC-7351B land pattern recommendations for SMA (DO-214AC) devices. The P4SMA130A-E3/5A is not halogen-free - that variant uses the "M3" suffix instead.
How does the thermal resistance of the P4SMA130A-E3/5A affect PCB layout?
The P4SMA130A-E3/5A has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 120 °C/W when mounted on Vishay's recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. To maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C during repetitive surges, designers must ensure adequate copper area and avoid thermal bottlenecks. Reducing pad size increases RθJA, risking premature thermal failure - the P4SMA130A-E3/5A's performance is validated only with the specified layout.
Can the P4SMA130A-E3/5A be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - the P4SMA130A-E3/5A is strictly unidirectional, as indicated by the "A" suffix and cathode band marking. Bidirectional variants use the "CA" suffix (e.g., P4SMA130CA) and lack polarity markings. Using the P4SMA130A-E3/5A in AC or floating applications would result in forward conduction during negative half-cycles, causing failure. Always match device polarity to circuit topology: the P4SMA130A-E3/5A must be oriented with cathode toward the protected line.
