Product details
Overview
P4SMA130CAHM3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in SMA (DO-214AC) package, designed to protect sensitive electronics against voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lightning surges. It features a 111 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.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA130CAHM3/I datasheet, P4SMA130CAHM3/I pinout, P4SMA130CAHM3/I application, or P4SMA130CAHM3/I equivalent, this device serves as a halogen-free, AEC-Q101-qualified transient protector for automotive sensor signal lines, industrial I/O interfaces, and telecom power rails where bidirectional surge immunity and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility are required.
Technical Context
The P4SMA130CAHM3/I operates as a symmetrical avalanche diode, clamping voltage transients in both directions without polarity dependence. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low incremental surge resistance, enabling fast response (<1 ns) to ESD and surge events per IEC 61000-4-2/4-5.
Rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and compliant with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, it delivers 3.3 W steady-state power dissipation on infinite heatsink at 50 °C ambient. The device is qualified to AEC-Q101 and marked with HM3 suffix indicating halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and automotive-grade construction.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ130CA | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs but in larger SMB (DO-214AA) package; 600 W PPPM; higher thermal mass. | Preferred where board space allows and higher surge margin is needed; not drop-in due to footprint mismatch. | Select when higher peak power (600 W) and improved thermal performance are prioritized over compactness. |
| 1.5KE130CA | Through-hole TO-218 package; 1500 W PPPM; same VWM/VBR range; higher IPPM (12.5 A). | Suitable for high-energy legacy designs or prototyping; incompatible with SMT-only production. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-automated assembly or where extreme surge robustness outweighs size constraints. |
Compared with SMBJ130CA and 1.5KE130CA, the P4SMA130CAHM3/I offers optimal balance of compact SMA footprint, AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free compliance, and 400 W surge capability-making it ideal for space-constrained automotive and industrial SMT designs requiring certified reliability.

FAQ
What does the 'HM3' suffix indicate in P4SMA130CAHM3/I?
The 'HM3' suffix in P4SMA130CAHM3/I denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It confirms compliance with automotive reliability standards, JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and suitability for lead-free reflow soldering up to 260 °C peak temperature per J-STD-020. This makes P4SMA130CAHM3/I appropriate for under-hood and safety-critical applications.
Is P4SMA130CAHM3/I unidirectional or bidirectional?
P4SMA130CAHM3/I is a bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor, as indicated by the 'CA' suffix. It provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities with identical VWM, VBR, and VC characteristics. There is no cathode marking on the SMA package, and either terminal may serve as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity-enabling flexible PCB layout without orientation constraints.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P4SMA130CAHM3/I under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of P4SMA130CAHM3/I is 179 V, measured at 1.7 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value represents the highest voltage imposed on the protected circuit during a standardized surge event and is critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Can P4SMA130CAHM3/I replace P4SMA130A in a design?
No-P4SMA130CAHM3/I is bidirectional while P4SMA130A is unidirectional. Their electrical behaviors differ fundamentally: P4SMA130A conducts only in reverse bias and requires correct polarity placement, whereas P4SMA130CAHM3/I clamps equally in both directions. Substitution would require circuit review and likely layout changes to accommodate the absence of polarity marking and altered conduction behavior.
What thermal derating applies to P4SMA130CAHM3/I above 25 °C ambient?
P4SMA130CAHM3/I follows standard derating per Figure 2 in its datasheet: peak pulse power decreases linearly above 25 °C ambient, with full 400 W rating only at TA ≤ 25 °C. At 85 °C ambient, the device is rated for approximately 270 W; at 125 °C, it drops to ~170 W. Continuous power dissipation (PD = 3.3 W) also derates linearly to zero at 150 °C junction temperature.
