Product details
Overview
P4SMA62H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 50.2 V working stand-off voltage, 55.8–68.2 V breakdown range at 1 mA, 89.0 V clamping voltage at 4.7 A (10/1000 µs), 400 W peak pulse power rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA62H datasheet, P4SMA62H pinout, P4SMA62H application, or P4SMA62H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b, junction temperature derating above 25°C, DO-214AC (SMA) package compatibility with automated placement, and leakage current ≤1 µA at VWM.
Technical Context
The P4SMA62H operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, leveraging glass-passivated junction technology to achieve fast response (<1.0 ps) and stable breakdown characteristics. Its 150°C maximum junction temperature and -55°C to +150°C operating range support under-hood and industrial environments.
It meets ISO 7637-2 for automotive transients and complies with J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1. The device uses a single-die DO-214AC (SMA) package with matte tin-plated leads, rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current and 3.5 V max forward voltage at 25 A.
Key Specifications

IC Role / Device Role: Front-end transient suppressor on converter input, positioned upstream of EMI filters and input bulk capacitors. Use Value: Maintains <50.2 V stand-off while clamping ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 to ≤89.0 V, ensuring regulator IC survival under 100 V/50 ms load dump. |
| Industrial Lighting Driver | USB-C Power Delivery Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ60A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 60 V VWM, 66.7–73.3 V VBR, 96.8 V VC @ 4.1 A | Higher clamping voltage (+7.8 V) and lower IPPM (−0.6 A); same 400 W rating | Select when board space allows larger SMB footprint and higher clamping margin is acceptable |
| 1.5SMC62A | DO-214AB (SMC) package; 62 V VWM, 68.9–76.0 V VBR, 100 V VC @ 4.0 A | 11 V higher clamping voltage; 1.5 kW surge rating but larger footprint and higher thermal mass | Prefer for higher-energy transients where PCB layout accommodates SMC and thermal dissipation is prioritized |
Compared with P4SMA62H, SMBJ60A offers identical power rating but requires PCB redesign for DO-214AA, while 1.5SMC62A delivers greater surge headroom at the cost of size and clamping performance-making P4SMA62H optimal for space-constrained AEC-Q101-compliant designs needing precise 50.2 V stand-off and 89.0 V clamping.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of P4SMA62H and how is it measured?
The P4SMA62H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 89.0 V, measured at a peak impulse current (IPPM) of 4.7 A using the standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform per IEC 61000-4-5 and ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This value represents the upper limit of voltage seen by downstream circuitry during a surge event and is confirmed at TA = 25°C. The P4SMA62H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range with appropriate derating.
Is P4SMA62H suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, P4SMA62H is a unidirectional TVS diode intended for DC rail protection with defined polarity (cathode band marking). For bidirectional applications such as AC lines or differential data buses, the P4SMA62AH variant-or dedicated bipolar parts like P4SMA62CH-must be used. The P4SMA62H does not conduct symmetrically in reverse bias and lacks the dual-junction structure required for bidirectional clamping.
What packaging and reel quantity is available for P4SMA62H?
P4SMA62H is supplied in DO-214AC (SMA) package format on 7,500-piece tape-and-reel carriers compliant with EIA-481 standards. Each reel includes full traceability documentation, RoHS and halogen-free certification per IEC 61249-2-21, and moisture sensitivity level 1 labeling per J-STD-020-eliminating bake requirements prior to SMT assembly.
Does P4SMA62H meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, P4SMA62H is AEC-Q101 qualified and tested per the full stress test schedule including HTGB, AC/DC life test, temperature cycling, and mechanical shock. It also meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b requirements for automotive transient immunity, making it suitable for engine control modules, body control units, and infotainment power supplies in passenger and commercial vehicles.
How does the temperature coefficient affect P4SMA62H's breakdown voltage?
The P4SMA62H has a maximum temperature coefficient of VBR of 0.104 %/°C, meaning its breakdown voltage increases by up to 0.053 V per °C rise above 25°C. At 125°C junction temperature, VBR may shift upward by approximately 5.2 V from its 25°C nominal value-critical for designs operating near TJmax. This positive TC is inherent to silicon avalanche diodes and must be factored into worst-case clamping margin analysis alongside VC derating.
