Product details
Overview
P4SMA200CA-M3/5A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 200 V standoff voltage (VWM), 210 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), and 274 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 µs waveform. It delivers 400 W peak pulse power, features glass-passivated junction, and is halogen-free and RoHS-compliant - deployed for surge protection on sensor signal lines and MOSFET gate drivers in industrial motor controls.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA200CA-M3/5A datasheet, P4SMA200CA-M3/5A pinout, P4SMA200CA-M3/5A application, or P4SMA200CA-M3/5A equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability at 200 V, low incremental surge resistance, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped transient protector with symmetrical avalanche behavior in both directions due to its bidirectional construction. Its 200 V standoff rating ensures reliable blocking during normal operation while triggering conduction only above ~210 V (VBR min), with clamping voltage limited to 328 V at 274 A IPPM.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 120 °C/W and RθJL = 30 °C/W, supporting continuous power dissipation of 3.3 W at TA = 50 °C. It meets AEC-Q101 qualification when ordered with HE3/HM3 suffixes, though P4SMA200CA-M3/5A itself is commercial-grade halogen-free.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off) | 200 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before clamping begins; defines operating margin for protected circuitry. |
| VBR min | 210 V at 1 mA - Minimum breakdown voltage threshold; guarantees conduction onset no earlier than 210 V. |
| VC @ IPPM | 328 V at 274 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress on downstream components. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 µs waveform; enables robust protection against lightning-induced transients. |
| IPPM | 274 A - Peak surge current capacity; supports high-energy transient suppression without failure. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; allows operation in high-ambient industrial environments. |
| Package | SMA (DO-214AC) - Standardized SMT outline with 5.28 mm × 4.50 mm footprint; compatible with JEDEC MS-013AC. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), surface-mount, bidirectional configuration with no polarity marking - terminals are symmetrical anode/cathode pair.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode / Cathode (symmetrical) | Transient conduction path | Both terminals function identically; bidirectional clamping occurs regardless of voltage polarity applied across them. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables single-device protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV/2 Ω) on 24 V–48 V bus lines. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients (<1 ns rise time), improving protection fidelity for sensitive ICs. |
| Glass passivated chip junction | Ensures stable VBR over lifetime and resistance to humidity-induced degradation in unsealed industrial enclosures. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow) | Supports standard lead-free reflow profiles without preconditioning; eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant (M3 suffix) | Meets IPC-1752A material declaration requirements and EU environmental compliance for industrial OEM shipments. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drive Control | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |

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 200 V VWM, but SMB package (DO-214AA); 600 W PPPM, higher IPPM (329 A), larger footprint (4.57 mm × 3.94 mm). | Better suited for higher-energy surges where board space permits larger package; not drop-in compatible with SMA layout. | Select SMBJ200CA when surge energy exceeds 400 W and PCB real estate allows SMB footprint. |
| 1.5KE200CA | Through-hole DO-201 package; same 200 V VWM, 400 W PPPM, but lower thermal efficiency (RθJA ≈ 150 °C/W) and no MSL rating. | Requires wave soldering; unsuitable for mixed-technology SMT-only assemblies or high-reliability reflow processes. | Choose 1.5KE200CA only for legacy through-hole designs or cost-sensitive non-automated production. |
Compared with SMBJ200CA and 1.5KE200CA, P4SMA200CA-M3/5A provides optimal balance of SMT manufacturability, MSL Level 1 compatibility, and verified 400 W surge handling in the smallest standardized surface-mount TVS outline - making it preferred for space-constrained industrial and telecom PCBs.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of P4SMA200CA-M3/5A at its rated peak pulse current?
The P4SMA200CA-M3/5A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 328 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 274 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in the Vishay datasheet 88367 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The P4SMA200CA-M3/5A maintains this clamping performance consistently across its operational temperature range.
Is P4SMA200CA-M3/5A suitable for automotive applications?
P4SMA200CA-M3/5A is a commercial-grade halogen-free part and is not AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive use, Vishay offers the P4SMA200CAHM3_B/I variant (with HM3 suffix and revision B), which carries full AEC-Q101 qualification. The P4SMA200CA-M3/5A may be used in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems only if validated per customer-specific reliability requirements - but the P4SMA200CA-M3/5A itself does not carry automotive qualification.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of P4SMA200CA-M3/5A?
The P4SMA200CA-M3/5A has a maximum steady-state power dissipation (PD) of 3.3 W when mounted on an infinite heatsink at ambient temperature (TA) of 50 °C. This rating assumes ideal thermal conditions; derating applies above 50 °C per Figure 2 in the datasheet. The P4SMA200CA-M3/5A is not intended for continuous power regulation but for transient energy absorption.
Does P4SMA200CA-M3/5A have polarity markings on its package?
No, P4SMA200CA-M3/5A does not have polarity markings because it is a bidirectional TVS diode. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., P4SMA200A), the P4SMA200CA-M3/5A features symmetrical terminal behavior - both ends function identically as either anode or cathode depending on instantaneous voltage polarity. Therefore, no band or marking is present on the SMA (DO-214AC) case.
What is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of P4SMA200CA-M3/5A?
The typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of P4SMA200CA-M3/5A is 120 °C/W, measured under standard test conditions using 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value reflects its thermal performance in typical PCB layouts and informs thermal design margins when estimating junction temperature rise under repetitive surge conditions. The P4SMA200CA-M3/5A also has RθJL = 30 °C/W for lead-based conduction paths.
