Product details
Overview
P4SMA47H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 400W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode with a breakdown voltage range of 42.3–51.7V, clamping voltage of 67.8V at 6.2A peak pulse current, and DO-214AC (SMA) package. It protects DC/DC converters, automotive power supplies, and industrial adapters against ESD and lightning-induced surges per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA47H datasheet, P4SMA47H pinout, P4SMA47H application, or P4SMA47H equivalent, key selection criteria include its 38.1V working stand-off voltage, <1μA reverse leakage at VWM, 150°C junction rating, AEC-Q101 qualification, and fast sub-1ps response time in surge suppression circuits.
Technical Context
The P4SMA47H operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, leveraging glass-passivated junction technology to achieve stable breakdown and low capacitance. Its clamping behavior follows the 10/1000μs standard waveform, delivering 67.8V maximum clamping voltage at 6.2A peak impulse current while maintaining <1μA leakage above 38.1V.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, it meets AEC-Q101 stress tests and ISO 7637-2 transients across all five pulse types. The device's thermal derating curve supports continuous operation up to 150°C junction temperature, with moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ47A | 600W rating, SMB package (larger footprint), 64.8V clamping at 9.3A | Better suited for higher-energy surges; requires PCB layout change due to larger package | Select when system-level surge testing exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 and DO-214AC thermal limits are insufficient |
| 1.5SMC47A | 1500W rating, SMC package, 67.2V clamping at 22.3A, higher VWM (40.2V) | Designed for front-end AC input stages; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Choose for non-automotive industrial mains input protection where space allows larger SMC footprint |
Compared with SMBJ47A and 1.5SMC47A, the P4SMA47H offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 compliance, compact DO-214AC footprint, and precise 38.1V standoff for mid-power automotive and industrial DC rails-without requiring PCB redesign or sacrificing reliability.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the P4SMA47H?
The P4SMA47H has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 42.3V to 51.7V at 1mA test current (VBR), measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This range reflects manufacturing tolerance and ensures consistent clamping performance across production lots. The P4SMA47H maintains this specification under ambient temperatures from –55°C to +150°C.
Is the P4SMA47H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the P4SMA47H is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly tested to meet ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b transient immunity requirements. Its glass-passivated junction, 150°C maximum junction temperature, and moisture sensitivity level 1 make it appropriate for under-hood and body-control module applications. The P4SMA47H is designed for automotive-grade durability without derating.
What is the clamping voltage of the P4SMA47H under surge conditions?
The P4SMA47H delivers a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 67.8V at 6.2A peak pulse current using the standardized 10/1000μs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25°C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The P4SMA47H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Does the P4SMA47H have polarity markings, and how is it oriented on the PCB?
Yes, the P4SMA47H features a cathode band marking on the DO-214AC (SMA) package body, indicating the cathode terminal. During PCB layout, the cathode must be connected to the higher-potential side of the protected line (e.g., VIN), while the anode connects to ground or lower potential. Incorrect orientation renders the P4SMA47H ineffective for reverse-transient suppression.
What packaging and reel quantity is available for the P4SMA47H?
The P4SMA47H is supplied in tape-and-reel format with 7,500 units per reel, compatible with standard high-speed SMT pick-and-place equipment. The DO-214AC (SMA) package uses matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability requirements, and the reel labeling includes full part number, date code, and factory code per TSC's ordering specification.
