Product details
Overview
P4SMA200A-M3/61 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 200 V standoff voltage (VWM), 210 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 274 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 1.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 400 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 µs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA200A-M3/61 datasheet, P4SMA200A-M3/61 pinout, P4SMA200A-M3/61 application, or P4SMA200A-M3/61 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, SMA package thermal resistance (RθJA = 120 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status (M3 suffix indicates halogen-free RoHS-compliant commercial grade, not automotive-qualified), and clamping performance under repetitive surge conditions.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped crowbar device: when reverse voltage exceeds VBR (190–210 V), it avalanches to limit transient energy by diverting surge current away from protected circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low leakage (<1 µA at VWM).
Designed for 10/1000 µs surge waveforms per IEC 61000-4-5, it delivers 400 W peak pulse power up to 91 V and 300 W above that threshold. Thermal derating begins at TA > 25 °C, with maximum junction temperature of 150 °C and RθJL = 30 °C/W enabling reliable operation on standard 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 171 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; defines safe DC/AC line rating. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 190–210 V at 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche initiation range; ensures precise clamping onset without premature conduction. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 274 V at IPPM = 1.1 A - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs surge; determines margin over IC absolute max ratings. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 400 W - Sustained transient energy handling capability under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform; validates robustness against lightning-induced surges. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | <1 µA at VWM - Minimal standby power loss and signal integrity impact in high-impedance sensing paths. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Enables use in enclosed industrial enclosures with ambient temperatures up to 85 °C after thermal derating. |
| Package | SMA (DO-214AC) - Standardized surface-mount outline with 5.28 mm length, 4.50 mm width, and 2.29 mm height; compatible with automated pick-and-place. |
Pinout & Package
SMA (DO-214AC) package with molded plastic body, matte tin-plated leads, and cathode band marking for unidirectional polarity. Mounting requires 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal per JEDEC standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point in forward bias; connected to ground or low-side reference in unidirectional TVS configuration | Enables low-forward-voltage path during positive transients; must be tied to lowest potential node in protected circuit. |
| Cathode | Current exit point in forward bias; marked with band; connected to line being protected | Defines clamping direction: reverse-biased during overvoltage events on protected line; determines placement relative to IC input or power rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Validated surge immunity for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV line-to-line, 2 kV line-to-ground) in properly laid out PCBs. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR over lifetime and temperature; eliminates parameter drift due to moisture or contamination in harsh environments. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow) | Supports single-pass lead-free reflow assembly without popcorn cracking or delamination risk. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant (M3 suffix) | Fulfills EU Directive 2011/65/EU and IPC-1752A material declaration requirements for green manufacturing. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes VC overshoot during fast-rising transients (<1 ns rise time), improving protection fidelity for high-speed logic interfaces. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Input Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) Signal Line Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ200A | Same VWM (171 V), identical SMA package, but lower PPPM (400 W vs. P4SMA200A-M3/61's 400 W); slightly higher VC (280 V vs. 274 V) | Marginally reduced clamping efficiency; suitable where layout allows minor voltage headroom increase | Select SMAJ200A only if legacy design uses SMAJ series and no VC reduction is required. |
| 1.5SMC200A | Higher package thermal mass (SMC/DO-214AB), RθJA = 60 °C/W vs. 120 °C/W; same VWM/VBR/VC specs; 1500 W PPPM rating | Better thermal endurance under repetitive surges but requires 3× PCB area; not drop-in compatible | Choose 1.5SMC200A only when system-level surge duty cycle exceeds 0.01% and board space permits larger footprint. |
Compared with SMAJ200A and 1.5SMC200A, P4SMA200A-M3/61 offers optimal balance of compact SMA footprint, verified 274 V clamping, and halogen-free compliance - making it preferred for space-constrained industrial and telecom designs requiring consistent surge response without thermal derating penalties.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P4SMA200A-M3/61 under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of P4SMA200A-M3/61 is 274 V at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 1.1 A with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay document 88367 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events. The P4SMA200A-M3/61 maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is P4SMA200A-M3/61 AEC-Q101 qualified?
No, P4SMA200A-M3/61 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. The M3 suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant commercial-grade construction. Automotive-qualified variants use HE3 or HM3 suffixes with revision codes (e.g., P4SMA200AHE3_A), which are distinct orderable parts. P4SMA200A-M3/61 is intended for industrial and telecom applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated.
What does the "-M3/61" suffix mean in P4SMA200A-M3/61?
The "-M3" suffix indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant commercial-grade construction with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The "/61" denotes packaging in 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with 1800 units per reel. This ordering code specifies both material compliance and physical delivery format - critical for procurement and SMT line setup. P4SMA200A-M3/61 is fully compatible with standard SMA pick-and-place equipment.
Can P4SMA200A-M3/61 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, P4SMA200A-M3/61 is unidirectional only, as indicated by the "A" suffix (e.g., P4SMA200A). Bidirectional versions use the "CA" suffix (e.g., P4SMA200CA) and exhibit symmetrical clamping in both polarities. Using P4SMA200A-M3/61 in bidirectional circuits would result in forward conduction during negative transients, causing failure. Always match suffix to polarity requirement.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA) for P4SMA200A-M3/61?
The typical thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA) for P4SMA200A-M3/61 is 120 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, per Vishay document 88367. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions and directly impacts maximum allowable power dissipation at elevated ambient temperatures - critical for derating calculations in sealed enclosures.
