Product details
Overview
P4SMA39AHM3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 39 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 37.1–41.0 V at 1 mA), 53.9 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 7.4 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform). It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients in automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA39AHM3_A/H datasheet, P4SMA39AHM3_A/H pinout, P4SMA39AHM3_A/H application, or P4SMA39AHM3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 33.3 V stand-off voltage (VWM), <1 µA reverse leakage at VWM, 150 °C max junction temperature, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated leads.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode uses a glass-passivated silicon junction to achieve fast response time (<1 ns), low incremental surge resistance, and stable clamping under repetitive 10/1000 µs transients. Its design targets transient suppression on DC power rails and low-voltage signal paths where precise voltage thresholding and minimal capacitance are critical.
The device operates within -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine). Thermal resistance is 120 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 30 °C/W (junction-to-lead), requiring minimum 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal for full 400 W rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 37.1 V / 41.0 V at 1 mA - defines precise overvoltage triggering threshold for reliable protection without false trips |
| VWM | 33.3 V - maximum continuous working voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA; sets safe operating margin below VBR |
| VC @ IPPM | 53.9 V at 7.4 A - clamping voltage during 400 W transient; determines protected circuit's maximum stress level |
| PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs) - peak transient energy handling capacity; derates to 300 W above 91 V |
| IFSM | 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - surge current capability for short-duration inrush or fault events |
| TJ max | +150 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial environments |
| Leakage @ VWM | <1 µA - ensures negligible standby power loss and signal integrity on sensitive analog/sensor lines |
Pinout & Package
SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package with cathode band marking; dimensions: 4.93 mm × 3.99 mm × 2.29 mm (L × W × H); matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point in forward bias | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail in unidirectional TVS configuration |
| Cathode | Current exit point in forward bias; marked with band | Connected to protected line (e.g., 33 V supply or sensor output) to clamp positive transients |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per JESD22 |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | Meets environmental compliance requirements for modern electronics manufacturing and end-of-life disposal |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles without moisture sensitivity concerns |
| 400 W peak pulse power | Handles high-energy transients from inductive loads (e.g., solenoids, relays) without degradation |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.38) | Minimizes overvoltage exposure to downstream components during clamping event |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial PLC Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 33 V CAN transceiver power rails and LIN bus signal lines from load-dump and alternator ripple transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between VCC and GND to clamp positive surges exceeding 33.3 V.

Use Scenario: Protecting voltage-monitoring IC inputs (e.g., supervisor ICs sensing 33 V backup rails) from coupling noise and surge injection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS on analog sense line to preserve signal fidelity while blocking transients. Use Value: Maintains accurate voltage monitoring accuracy with <1 µA leakage, preventing false brown-out detection during EMC testing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ39AHE3_A/H | Same VBR (37.1–41.0 V), same SMA package, but rated for 400 W only up to 33 V; 39 V version has higher VC (56.1 V) and lower IPPM (7.1 A) | Less effective clamping margin (VC/VWM = 1.69 vs. 1.62 for P4SMA39AHM3_A/H); suited for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs | Select when AEC-Q101 qualification is not required and tighter clamping is not critical |
| 1.5SMC39AHM3_A/H | Higher power rating (1500 W), larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same VBR and VWM, but VC = 56.3 V at 26.7 A | Requires PCB layout change due to larger footprint; used where system-level surge immunity exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 | Choose for high-energy industrial surge protection where board space permits larger package |
Compared with SMAJ39AHE3_A/H, P4SMA39AHM3_A/H delivers superior clamping performance and automotive qualification; versus 1.5SMC39AHM3_A/H, it offers identical voltage ratings in a smaller, more space-efficient SMA package-ideal for compact modules where 400 W suffices.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the P4SMA39AHM3_A/H under a 400 W transient?
The P4SMA39AHM3_A/H clamps to a maximum of 53.9 V at 7.4 A peak pulse current, corresponding to the 400 W 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in the Vishay datasheet 88367 and reflects worst-case VC under specified test conditions with recommended PCB pad layout.
Is the P4SMA39AHM3_A/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the P4SMA39AHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and carries the HM3 suffix indicating halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and automotive-grade construction. It meets stress test requirements for temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity, making it appropriate for under-hood and body-control module use.
What does the "_A/H" suffix mean in P4SMA39AHM3_A/H?
In P4SMA39AHM3_A/H, "A" denotes the revision level of the AEC-Q101 qualification, and "H" specifies the packaging format: 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with 1800 units per reel. The base "HM3" indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with AEC-Q101 qualification.
How does the P4SMA39AHM3_A/H compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like P4SMA39CHM3_A/H?
The P4SMA39AHM3_A/H is unidirectional and designed for DC rail protection where only positive transients occur; P4SMA39CHM3_A/H is bidirectional with symmetric clamping for AC or data-line applications. They share identical VBR, VWM, and PPPM, but the unidirectional version offers lower leakage and is preferred for power-rail use.
What thermal derating applies to the P4SMA39AHM3_A/H above 25 °C ambient?
The P4SMA39AHM3_A/H must be derated linearly above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in datasheet 88367: peak pulse power decreases by approximately 0.33% per °C rise, reaching 300 W at ~125 °C ambient. Continuous power dissipation (PD = 3.3 W) also follows standard RθJA = 120 °C/W derating.
