Product details
Overview
P4SMA47AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, rated for 400W peak pulse power, 44.7–49.4V breakdown voltage at 1mA test current, and 64.8V clamping voltage at 6.4A peak impulse current. It protects DC/DC converters and automotive power rails against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b transients.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA47AH datasheet, P4SMA47AH pinout, P4SMA47AH application, or P4SMA47AH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40.2V working stand-off voltage, <1μA reverse leakage at VWM, AEC-Q101 qualification, glass-passivated junction, and 1.0ps typical response time-critical for robust overvoltage protection in automotive and industrial power supplies.
Technical Context
The P4SMA47AH operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with a single-die DO-214AC construction, optimized for fast clamping of high-energy transients on 24V/48V automotive and industrial bus lines. Its 150°C maximum junction temperature and -55°C to +150°C operating range support under-hood and high-temperature PCB environments.
It meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (inductive load dump), Pulse 2a/2b (battery disconnection), and Pulse 3a/3b (switching noise), with clamping performance validated using the standardized 10/1000μs waveform. The device's <1.0ps response ensures suppression before downstream ICs experience overstress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR @ IT=1mA | 44.7–49.4V: Ensures reliable avalanche initiation above system nominal voltage while avoiding false triggering during normal operation. |
| VWM | 40.2V: Maximum continuous reverse voltage the device blocks without significant leakage-aligned with 48V automotive supply tolerances. |
| VC @ IPPM=6.4A | 64.8V: Clamped voltage during 10/1000μs surge-limits stress on downstream 75V-rated MOSFETs or controllers. |
| PPPM | 400W: Peak pulse power handling per single transient-supports repeated ISO 7637-2 compliance testing without degradation. |
| IR @ VWM | <1μA: Ultra-low reverse leakage preserves battery life in always-on vehicle modules and avoids false wake-up in low-power systems. |
| Response Time | <1.0ps: Enables sub-nanosecond reaction to ESD and fast-edge transients-critical for protecting CAN/LIN transceivers and microcontrollers. |
| TJ Range | -55°C to +150°C: Full operational capability across automotive under-hood thermal profiles without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ45A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 45V VWM; 64.5V VC @ 6.2A; same 400W rating but 20% larger footprint. | Higher mounting height (2.6mm vs. 2.2mm) may conflict with low-profile enclosures; identical electrical performance. | Select when board space allows larger package or existing SMB land pattern is fixed. |
| 1.5SMC47A | DO-214AB (SMC) package; 47V VWM; 69.4V VC @ 5.8A; 1500W rating but higher clamping voltage. | Used where higher surge repetition rate or multi-pulse endurance is required; less precise clamping than P4SMA47AH. | Choose for heavy-duty industrial surge environments requiring >1000 pulses, accepting higher VC trade-off. |
Compared with SMBJ45A and 1.5SMC47A, the P4SMA47AH delivers optimal balance of compact DO-214AC size, tight 40.2V VWM/64.8V VC ratio, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it preferred for space-constrained automotive and high-reliability industrial designs where clamping precision and qualification matter most.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of the P4SMA47AH?
The P4SMA47AH is a unidirectional TVS diode, with cathode marked by a band on the DO-214AC package. It conducts only during reverse overvoltage events-forward voltage drop is 3.5V at 25A, but forward conduction is not its intended protection mode. This polarity enables precise clamping on positive-rail systems like 48V automotive supplies.
Does the P4SMA47AH meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the P4SMA47AH is AEC-Q101 qualified and tested per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b. Its glass-passivated junction, MSL Level 1 rating, and -55°C to +150°C operating range satisfy requirements for engine bay and chassis-mounted electronic control units-making P4SMA47AH suitable for ASIL-B functional safety domains.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P4SMA47AH under surge conditions?
The P4SMA47AH has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 64.8V at 6.4A peak impulse current using the 10/1000μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across temperature and lifetime, ensuring downstream components rated for 75V operation remain within safe operating limits during standardized surge events defined in ISO 7637-2 and IEC 61000-4-5.
Can the P4SMA47AH be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No-the P4SMA47AH is unidirectional only. For bidirectional applications, Taiwan Semiconductor offers the P4SMA47CAH variant (with "CAH" suffix), which provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities. Using P4SMA47AH in reverse-biased configurations beyond its specified VWM risks permanent damage; always verify polarity alignment in schematic and layout.
What packaging and reel quantity is available for the P4SMA47AH?
The P4SMA47AH is supplied in DO-214AC (SMA) package on 7,500-piece tape-and-reel format, compliant with EIA-481 standards. The reel includes moisture-sensitive level 1 handling instructions, and no baking is required prior to SMT reflow-supporting seamless integration into high-volume automated assembly lines without process interruption.
