Product details
Overview
P4SMA130A-E3/61 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in power and signal lines. It features a 130 V standoff voltage (VWM), 124–137 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 179 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 1.7 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - used to safeguard MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients and ESD in industrial and automotive electronics.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA130A-E3/61 datasheet, P4SMA130A-E3/61 pinout, P4SMA130A-E3/61 application, or P4SMA130A-E3/61 equivalent, this device delivers verified clamping performance, AEC-Q101 qualification (via HE3 suffix variants), RoHS-compliant SMA (DO-214AC) packaging, and precise unidirectional polarity marking - critical for high-reliability transient suppression in DC power rails and low-speed data lines.
Technical Context
The P4SMA130A-E3/61 operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, leveraging glass-passivated junction technology for stable reverse-biased clamping. Its 120 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and 30 °C/W junction-to-lead resistance support operation up to 150 °C junction temperature under defined PCB pad layouts (0.2" × 0.2" copper).
It responds to transients within picoseconds, limiting voltage excursions to ≤179 V at 1.7 A (10/1000 µs), with <1 μA reverse leakage at 111 V and a +0.107 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR - enabling predictable performance across automotive and industrial temperature ranges without active biasing or control circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 111 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating DC rail margin. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 124–137 V at 1 mA - Tight tolerance ensures consistent turn-on threshold across production lots. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 179 V at IPPM = 1.7 A (10/1000 µs) - Limits transient voltage seen by downstream components during surge events. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 400 W - Sustains single 10/1000 µs surges without degradation when mounted per recommended pad layout. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | 1.0 µA max at VWM - Minimizes standby power loss and avoids false triggering in high-impedance circuits. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Enables use in under-hood automotive and industrial environments with minimal derating. |
| Package | SMA (DO-214AC) - Surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly; cathode band identifies polarity. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 rated, MSL Level 1 (260 °C reflow peak), RoHS-compliant (E3 suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side of protected line; conducts during forward surge (e.g., reverse polarity fault). |
| Cathode | Clamping terminal (marked with band) | Connected to higher-potential side; avalanches in reverse bias to clamp transients above VWM. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 VWM/VBR/VC specs but SMB package (DO-214AA); 600 W PPPM rating; 10% larger footprint. | Better suited for higher-energy surges; requires PCB layout change due to larger pad area and pitch. | Select when 600 W surge margin is required and board space allows SMB footprint. |
| 1.5SMC130A | Higher 1.5 kW PPPM rating; DO-214AB (SMC) package; 2× larger thermal mass; 500 µA ID at VWM. | Used in mains-input stages or high-power inverters where energy absorption exceeds P4SMA limits. | Choose for primary-side AC/DC input protection where 400 W is insufficient. |
Compared with SMBJ130A and 1.5SMC130A, the P4SMA130A-E3/61 offers optimal balance of compact SMA footprint, 400 W surge capability, and ultra-low leakage - making it ideal for space-constrained secondary-side DC rail protection where thermal budget and layout density are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P4SMA130A-E3/61 under standard test conditions?
The P4SMA130A-E3/61 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 179 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs waveform at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 1.7 A. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and reflects the actual voltage imposed on protected circuitry during a defined surge event - critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Is the P4SMA130A-E3/61 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the base P4SMA130A-E3/61 is RoHS-compliant and commercial-grade; however, the AEC-Q101 qualified version is designated as P4SMA130AHE3_A/H (or HM3). The P4SMA130A-E3/61 itself is not AEC-Q101 certified, but shares identical electrical characteristics and package construction - making it appropriate for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems where qualification is not mandated.
What does the "-E3/61" suffix indicate in P4SMA130A-E3/61?
The "E3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads; "/61" specifies packaging in 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a standard quantity of 1800 units per reel. This format supports automated SMT placement and is compatible with industry-standard pick-and-place equipment.
How does the thermal performance of P4SMA130A-E3/61 affect its surge handling capability?
The P4SMA130A-E3/61 has a typical RθJA of 120 °C/W and RθJL of 30 °C/W. Its 400 W peak pulse power rating assumes mounting on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal. Exceeding this layout reduces thermal dissipation, causing junction temperature rise that may trigger premature thermal runaway during repetitive surges - so adherence to the recommended pad design is essential for full PPPM utilization.
Can P4SMA130A-E3/61 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - P4SMA130A-E3/61 is strictly unidirectional, indicated by the "A" suffix and cathode band marking. For bidirectional operation, the correct variant is P4SMA130CA-E3/61 (or P4SMA130CAHE3_A/H for AEC-Q101). Using the unidirectional P4SMA130A-E3/61 in AC or symmetrical transient environments will result in forward conduction during negative half-cycles and potential failure.
