Product details
Overview
P4SMA62AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode rated for 400W peak pulse power, with a working stand-off voltage of 53.0V, breakdown voltage range of 58.9–65.1V at 1mA, and clamping voltage of 85.0V at 5.0A (10/1000μs waveform). It is AEC-Q101 qualified and designed for automotive-grade surge protection in DC/DC converters and power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA62AH datasheet, P4SMA62AH pinout, P4SMA62AH application, or P4SMA62AH equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-214AC (SMA) package compatibility, 150°C junction temperature rating, ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b compliance, and low leakage (<1µA at VWM) for low-power system integrity.
Technical Context
The P4SMA62AH operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, leveraging glass-passivated junction technology to achieve sub-1ps response time and stable clamping under repetitive transients. Its 53.0V working stand-off voltage ensures reliable blocking during normal operation while allowing fast conduction above 58.9V breakdown threshold.
Designed for automotive and industrial environments, it meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, UL 94V-0 mold compound flammability, and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020 - enabling robust reflow soldering and long-term reliability in harsh ambient conditions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ64A | DO-214AA package; 64V VWM, 70.1V VC @ 5.7A; same 400W rating but higher clamping voltage | Broader industry footprint; slightly larger body height may affect board clearance | Select SMBJ64A if DO-214AA layout is already established and 70.1V clamping is acceptable |
| 1.5SMC68A | DO-214AB package; 68V VWM, 105V VC @ 3.8A; 1500W rating but significantly higher clamping | Higher power handling but less precise voltage control; suited for less sensitive circuits | Choose 1.5SMC68A only where higher clamping voltage is tolerable and PCB space allows larger package |
Compared with SMBJ64A and 1.5SMC68A, the P4SMA62AH offers tighter VBR tolerance (±5.2%), lower clamping (85.0V), and DO-214AC footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained, automotive-grade designs requiring precise voltage limiting and AEC-Q101 validation.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the P4SMA62AH?
The P4SMA62AH has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 58.9 V to 65.1 V at a test current of 1.0 mA, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This tight ±5.2% tolerance ensures consistent overvoltage triggering behavior across production lots and temperature extremes, supporting robust design margins in automotive and industrial systems where the P4SMA62AH is deployed.
Is the P4SMA62AH suitable for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, the P4SMA62AH is a unidirectional TVS diode intended for protection against positive-polarity transients only. For bidirectional applications, Taiwan Semiconductor specifies parts with "CH" or "CAH" suffixes (e.g., P4SMA62CH). Using the P4SMA62AH in reverse-biased configurations risks permanent damage due to lack of symmetric avalanche capability - always verify polarity alignment during PCB layout for the P4SMA62AH.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P4SMA62AH under surge conditions?
The P4SMA62AH clamps to a maximum of 85.0 V when subjected to a 10/1000 μs impulse current of 5.0 A. This value is guaranteed across temperature and process variation, and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. Designers must ensure downstream components tolerate this clamped voltage, as the P4SMA62AH will not limit further once this threshold is reached.
Does the P4SMA62AH meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the P4SMA62AH is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly tested to meet ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b waveforms. It also complies with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1, and UL 94V-0 flammability - confirming its suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics where the P4SMA62AH is commonly applied.
What package type does the P4SMA62AH use, and is it compatible with standard SMT assembly?
The P4SMA62AH uses the DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability requirements. Its standardized footprint supports automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering per IPC-7351 guidelines. The cathode band marking ensures correct orientation during assembly, and the 0.060g weight minimizes mechanical stress - all verified features of the P4SMA62AH used in high-volume manufacturing.
