Product details
Overview
P4SMA62CA from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional 400W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a working stand-off voltage of 53.0 V, breakdown voltage range of 58.9–65.1 V at 1 mA, clamping voltage of 85.0 V at 5.0 A peak pulse current, and operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA62CA datasheet, P4SMA62CA pinout, P4SMA62CA application, or P4SMA62CA equivalent, key selection considerations include its DO-214AC (SMA) package compatibility, bidirectional surge handling per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b, sub-1 ps response time, and <1 µA reverse leakage at VWM, critical for low-power automotive and industrial power supply designs.
Technical Context
The P4SMA62CA implements a glass-passivated silicon avalanche junction optimized for fast transient suppression in both polarities. Its unidirectional counterpart is P4SMA62A; the "CA" suffix explicitly denotes bidirectional configuration with symmetrical electrical characteristics in forward and reverse directions.
It delivers 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), supports 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current, and maintains clamping performance under ambient temperatures up to +150°C - validated per JEDEC JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Moisture Sensitivity Level 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 53.0 V - Maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage the device blocks without significant leakage |
| VBR min/max | 58.9 V / 65.1 V at IT = 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range ensuring reliable turn-on during transients |
| VC @ IPPM | 85.0 V at 5.0 A (10/1000 µs) - Clamped voltage limiting downstream circuit stress during 400 W surge events |
| IR @ VWM | <1 µA - Minimal standby power loss and signal integrity impact in always-on systems |
| PPK | 400 W - Peak pulse power rating enabling protection against ISO 7637-2 automotive load dump and inductive switching spikes |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Junction temperature limit supporting operation in under-hood or enclosed industrial environments |
| Package | DO-214AC (SMA) - Standardized surface-mount outline with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 molding compound |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) package: molded plastic case with two coplanar gull-wing leads; cathode band marking indicates polarity for unidirectional variants - absent on P4SMA62CA due to bidirectional symmetry.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Bidirectional terminal pair | No fixed anode/cathode; either lead serves as input/output depending on transient polarity - enables single-component protection on AC-coupled or floating lines |
| Case | Non-terminating body | Electrically isolated plastic housing; no thermal or electrical connection to PCB except via soldered leads |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Enhances long-term reliability and stability of breakdown voltage under thermal cycling and humidity exposure |
| Response time <1.0 ps | Enables suppression before sensitive ICs experience voltage overshoot - critical for protecting USB, CAN, and sensor interfaces |
| ISO 7637-2 compliance (Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b) | Validated for automotive ECU-level surge immunity without external filtering or derating |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | Zero bake requirement prior to reflow - supports standard SMT assembly without process modification |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and EU Directive 2011/65/EU for environmentally constrained applications |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial DC/DC Converter Input Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN bus transceivers and microcontroller I/O from load dump and jump-start surges in vehicle door modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS clamp placed directly at connector entry point to shunt transients before they reach protected ICs. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity under ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) while adding no propagation delay or capacitance penalty to 20 kbps LIN signaling. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding primary-side MOSFET gate drivers and controller ICs in 24 V-to-5 V isolated flyback converters used in factory automation PLCs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS absorbing inductive kickback from relay coils and motor drives coupled onto shared 24 V rail. Use Value: Limits rail voltage excursions to ≤85 V during 40 A surge events, preventing latch-up or gate oxide rupture in 60 V-rated controllers. |
| LED Streetlight Driver Input | Telecom Power Shelf Surge Protection |
Use Scenario: Suppressing lightning-induced surges on outdoor-rated 120–277 VAC LED driver inputs subjected to Category III surge environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage clamping device upstream of bridge rectifier and bulk capacitor, coordinated with MOVs for staged energy handling. Use Value: Withstands repeated 400 W pulses without degradation, extending system MTBF beyond 50,000 hours in humid coastal deployments. |
Use Scenario: Protecting -48 V DC distribution boards in central office equipment from induced surges on telecom plant wiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS deployed across power/return pairs to suppress common-mode transients without ground reference dependency. Use Value: Symmetrical clamping ensures equal protection regardless of fault polarity - eliminating need for dual-device placement on redundant power feeds. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ64CA (Bourns) | Same DO-214AA (SMB) package; 64 V VWM, 86.4 V VC @ 4.6 A; 600 W rating | Higher power rating but larger footprint - requires PCB layout change | Select when higher surge margin is required and board space allows SMB package |
| 1.5KE68CA (ON Semiconductor) | Through-hole DO-201AD package; 68 V VWM, 104 V VC @ 3.8 A; 1500 W rating | Not surface-mountable; incompatible with automated SMT lines | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where manual assembly is acceptable |
Compared with P4SMA62CA, SMBJ64CA offers higher surge capacity but demands larger board area, while 1.5KE68CA provides greater peak power at the cost of SMT incompatibility - making P4SMA62CA the optimal balance of 400 W capability, DO-214AC footprint, and full bidirectional compliance for high-volume automotive and industrial PCBs.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix mean in P4SMA62CA?
The "CA" suffix in P4SMA62CA designates a bidirectional configuration, meaning the device functions identically in both forward and reverse bias directions. Unlike unidirectional variants such as P4SMA62A, P4SMA62CA has no cathode marking and provides symmetrical clamping - essential for protecting AC-coupled signals or floating power domains where polarity is undefined.
Is P4SMA62CA compliant with automotive surge standards?
Yes, P4SMA62CA meets ISO 7637-2 requirements for Pulse 1 (inductive load disconnect), Pulse 2a/2b (switching transients), and Pulse 3a/3b (capacitive coupling), verified per manufacturer test data. Its 400 W peak pulse rating and 85.0 V clamping voltage ensure robust protection for ECUs, body control modules, and infotainment systems without additional external components.
What is the maximum operating temperature for P4SMA62CA?
P4SMA62CA has a specified junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. This allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and enclosed industrial enclosures. Derating curves in the datasheet confirm usable power dissipation down to 50% at +125°C ambient, supporting sustained surge duty cycles in thermally demanding applications.
Can P4SMA62CA replace P4SMA62A in a design?
No - P4SMA62CA and P4SMA62A are not interchangeable. P4SMA62A is unidirectional with a cathode band and asymmetric conduction; P4SMA62CA is bidirectional with no polarity marking. Substituting one for the other risks incorrect clamping behavior, especially on DC-biased lines. Always verify circuit topology and transient polarity before selecting between "A" and "CA" variants.
What is the typical reverse leakage current of P4SMA62CA at rated VWM?
P4SMA62CA exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 1 µA at its working stand-off voltage of 53.0 V, measured at 25°C. This ultra-low leakage minimizes standby power loss and avoids false triggering in high-impedance sensing circuits - a key advantage over higher-leakage alternatives like older 1N6267-series devices.
