Product details
Overview
P4SMA200CA-E3/61 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in the P4SMA series, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power 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) capability with a 10/1000 µs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial and telecom equipment.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA200CA-E3/61 datasheet, P4SMA200CA-E3/61 pinout, P4SMA200CA-E3/61 application, or P4SMA200CA-E3/61 equivalent, this device delivers verified bidirectional surge suppression in SMA (DO-214AC) package with AEC-Q101 qualification option, low leakage (<1 µA at VWM), and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity - critical for automotive-grade board-level ESD and lightning transient protection design.
Technical Context
The P4SMA200CA-E3/61 operates as a bidirectional avalanche diode, symmetrically clamping both positive and negative transients without polarity dependence. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior and fast response time (<1 ns), while its low incremental surge resistance enables effective energy diversion during 10/1000 µs surges.
Rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and derated above 25 °C ambient, it delivers 400 W peak pulse power on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads, with thermal resistance of 120 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 30 °C/W (junction-to-lead) - supporting reliable operation in compact, thermally constrained PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 200 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin for 200 V nominal bus lines. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 210 V min - Avalanche conduction initiates no earlier than 210 V, ensuring precise overvoltage threshold control. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 274 V max at IPPM = 1.1 A - Limits transient voltage seen by protected circuitry to ≤274 V during 10/1000 µs surge. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 400 W - Sustains 400 W surge energy per IEC 61000-4-5 10/1000 µs waveform, enabling robust Class 3/4 system-level surge compliance. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | <1 µA at 200 V - Negligible standby current draw, preserving signal integrity and minimizing power loss in high-impedance circuits. |
| Package | SMA (DO-214AC) - Industry-standard surface-mount outline (5.28 mm × 4.50 mm × 2.29 mm), compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Available in HE3/HM3 variants - Meets automotive reliability requirements for under-hood and infotainment applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ200CA | Same VWM/VBR/VC ratings but in larger SMB (DO-214AA) package; 600 W PPPM rating. | Higher power handling supports longer surge durations; requires 30% more PCB area. | Select when system-level surge tests exceed 400 W or thermal margin is marginal on small pads. |
| 1.5KE200CA | Through-hole TO-218 package; same 200 V VWM but higher 1.5 kW PPPM; higher junction capacitance (~100 pF). | Not suitable for high-frequency signal lines due to parasitic capacitance; limited to power rail use. | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or where manual assembly and extreme surge robustness outweigh size constraints. |
Compared with SMBJ200CA and 1.5KE200CA, the P4SMA200CA-E3/61 offers optimal balance of compact SMA footprint, verified 400 W surge capability, and ultra-low leakage - making it preferred for modern SMT-based industrial and automotive control boards where board space and signal integrity are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of P4SMA200CA-E3/61 at its rated peak pulse current?
The P4SMA200CA-E3/61 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 274 V at 1.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value ensures downstream components see no more than 274 V during surge events, providing predictable protection margin for 200 V-rated circuits. The clamping performance is validated per Fig. 1 and Table on page 2 of Vishay document 88367.
Is P4SMA200CA-E3/61 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - while the base P4SMA200CA-E3/61 is commercial-grade, Vishay offers AEC-Q101 qualified versions under ordering codes P4SMA200CAHE3_A and P4SMA200CAHM3_A. These variants undergo stress testing per automotive reliability standards and are approved for use in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces where transient immunity is mission-critical.
How does the bidirectional configuration of P4SMA200CA-E3/61 affect PCB layout?
The bidirectional nature of P4SMA200CA-E3/61 eliminates polarity marking - no cathode band or orientation dependency exists. This allows unrestricted placement during automated assembly and simplifies routing on differential or AC-coupled lines. Layout requires only symmetrical 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal, per Vishay's recommended pad dimensions in Document 88367, page 5.
What is the maximum operating temperature for P4SMA200CA-E3/61?
The P4SMA200CA-E3/61 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C and operates across -65 °C to +150 °C. Derating begins above 25 °C ambient per Fig. 2 in the datasheet: at 85 °C ambient, peak pulse power drops to ~280 W. Thermal design must account for RθJA = 120 °C/W and ensure adequate copper area to maintain safe TJ under worst-case surge repetition.
Does P4SMA200CA-E3/61 meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes - the "E3" suffix in P4SMA200CA-E3/61 indicates full RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. For halogen-free compliance, select the M3-suffixed variant (P4SMA200CA-M3/61), which meets IEC 61249-2-21 and contains <900 ppm bromine and <900 ppm chlorine, verified per Vishay's material declarations in Doc. 99912.
