Product details
Overview
P4SMA130AHE3/5A 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 automotive electronics.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA130AHE3/5A datasheet, P4SMA130AHE3/5A pinout, P4SMA130AHE3/5A application, or P4SMA130AHE3/5A equivalent, this AEC-Q101 qualified, RoHS-compliant TVS offers verified clamping performance, low incremental surge resistance, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity - critical for high-reliability automotive ECUs and industrial control modules requiring stable transient suppression without layout redesign.
Technical Context
The P4SMA130AHE3/5A operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with cathode-band polarity marking, leveraging glass-passivated junction technology for stable breakdown and fast response (<1 ns). Its thermal design uses a DO-214AC case with 120 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
It delivers 400 W peak pulse power (derated to 300 W above 91 V) under 10/1000 µs waveform per JEDEC standards, with 111 V stand-off voltage (VWM) and ≤1.0 µA reverse leakage at VWM. The device meets UL 94 V-0 flammability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 124 V / 137 V at 1.0 mA test current - defines precise avalanche initiation threshold for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 111 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA, ensuring no false conduction in normal operation |
| VC @ IPPM | 179 V at 1.7 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting downstream component stress to safe levels |
| PPPM | 400 W (≤91 V); 300 W (>91 V) - peak transient energy absorption capability under standardized surge waveform |
| IFSM | 40 A - single half-sine surge rating (8.3 ms), supporting robust inrush and fault-current handling |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature enabling operation in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments |
| Package | SMA (DO-214AC) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with 5.28 mm × 4.50 mm footprint and matte tin-plated leads |
Pinout & Package
SMA (DO-214AC) package: molded epoxy case with cathode band marking on unidirectional devices; terminals are matte tin-plated, solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102.

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-E3/52 | Same VBR range (124–137 V), but SMB package (DO-214AA) - 20 % larger footprint, 50 % higher RθJA (150 °C/W) | Lower power density; less suitable for compact automotive modules where thermal dissipation is constrained | Select when existing PCB layout uses SMB pads or when higher IPPM margin (2.2 A) is required despite larger size |
| 1.5KE130A | Through-hole TO-204AE (DO-41) package; identical VBR, VC, and PPPM, but 10× slower mounting and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not suitable for automated SMT lines or automotive production; limited to prototyping or legacy through-hole designs | Choose only for manual assembly, cost-sensitive non-automotive applications, or legacy board refresh where footprint change is prohibited |
Compared with SMBJ130A-E3/52 and 1.5KE130A, the P4SMA130AHE3/5A provides optimal balance of AEC-Q101 compliance, compact SMA footprint, and verified 400 W surge capability - making it the preferred choice for new automotive and industrial SMT designs requiring zero layout revision and full production traceability.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the P4SMA130AHE3/5A under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The P4SMA130AHE3/5A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 179 V at 1.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay document 88367 and reflects the actual voltage seen by protected circuitry during transient events - critical for ensuring downstream components remain within safe operating limits. The P4SMA130AHE3/5A maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range (-65 °C to +150 °C).
Is the P4SMA130AHE3/5A qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the P4SMA130AHE3/5A is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HE3", which denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified construction. It undergoes rigorous stress testing including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and ESD validation per AEC-Q101 Rev D. This makes the P4SMA130AHE3/5A suitable for deployment in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS modules where automotive-grade reliability is mandatory.
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) of the P4SMA130AHE3/5A, and why does it matter?
The P4SMA130AHE3/5A has a maximum working peak reverse voltage (VWM) of 111 V, meaning it remains in high-impedance blocking mode up to this voltage with ≤1.0 µA reverse leakage. This parameter ensures the P4SMA130AHE3/5A does not conduct during normal operation - essential for protecting 100 V-class power rails or signal lines without introducing standby current or signal distortion. Exceeding VWM risks premature conduction and reduced system efficiency.
Can the P4SMA130AHE3/5A be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the P4SMA130AHE3/5A is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "A" suffix (not "CA"). Its cathode band marking and internal structure support clamping only from anode to cathode - i.e., from protected line to ground. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential data buses), the P4SMA130CAHE3/5A variant must be used instead. Using the P4SMA130AHE3/5A in reverse-biased configurations will not provide symmetrical clamping and may fail catastrophically.
What packaging format does the P4SMA130AHE3/5A ship in?
The P4SMA130AHE3/5A ships in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel format (ordering suffix "/5A"), containing 7500 units per reel. This format supports high-speed pick-and-place assembly and is compatible with standard SMT feeders. The device is supplied with matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability requirements and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance - ensuring reliable reflow soldering without voiding or dewetting issues in production environments using the P4SMA130AHE3/5A.
