Product details
Overview
P4SMA75A-E3/61 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 75 V standoff voltage (VWM), 71.3–78.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 104 V maximum clamping voltage at 3.9 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating with a 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in power supply inputs and I/O lines of industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA75A-E3/61 datasheet, P4SMA75A-E3/61 pinout, P4SMA75A-E3/61 application, or P4SMA75A-E3/61 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 3.9 A surge, thermal resistance (RθJA = 120 °C/W), unidirectional polarity marking, SMA (DO-214AC) package compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade variants.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under transient overvoltage, it avalanches rapidly to divert surge current away from downstream circuitry while maintaining a controlled clamping voltage. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1 µA at 64.1 V).
The device is rated for 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), derated above 25 °C per Fig. 2, and supports repetitive surges at 0.01 % duty cycle. It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of VBR (+0.105 %/°C), enabling predictable voltage shift across operating junction temperatures from –65 °C to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 64.1 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before significant conduction begins; defines safe operating margin below clamping threshold. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 71.3–78.8 V at 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures reliable triggering during transients without premature conduction. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 104 V at 3.9 A IPPM - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during full-rated surge; critical for IC/MOSFET voltage tolerance alignment. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 400 W (10/1000 µs) - Surge energy handling capacity on standard copper pad layout (0.2" × 0.2"); validates robustness against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 threats. |
| RθJA | 120 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; determines required PCB copper area and ambient derating for sustained reliability. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in high-temperature industrial enclosures without thermal shutdown. |
| Package | SMA (DO-214AC) - Standardized surface-mount outline with cathode band marking; compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 rated, MSL level 1 compliant.

| Anode | Ground reference terminal | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return path; completes shunt path for transient energy dissipation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Applications
| Industrial Sensor Interface Protection | Automotive Body Control Module Input |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75A (Digi-Key: SMBJ75AHE3/TR13CT-ND) | Higher 600 W PPPM rating; larger SMB (DO-214AA) package; 113 V VC at 5.3 A; RθJA = 85 °C/W | Better suited for higher-energy transients; requires larger PCB footprint and more copper area | Select when surge energy exceeds 400 W or thermal budget demands lower RθJA |
| 1.5SMC75A (Mouser: 78-1.5SMC75A) | Same 400 W PPPM but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; 113 V VC at 3.5 A; RθJA = 65 °C/W; higher IFSM (100 A) | Preferred for high-reliability industrial power supplies where mechanical robustness and surge repetition matter | Choose when board space allows larger package and higher forward surge immunity is needed for AC-coupled inputs |
Compared with P4SMA75A-E3/61, SMBJ75A offers superior power handling in a slightly larger footprint, while 1.5SMC75A provides better thermal performance and surge endurance - both require layout review due to differing package dimensions and thermal pad requirements, though all three share identical VWM/VBR/VC voltage grades.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P4SMA75A-E3/61 under full-rated surge conditions?
The P4SMA75A-E3/61 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 104 V at 3.9 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under standardized test conditions on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads and represents the highest voltage the protected circuit will experience during a full-rated transient event. The P4SMA75A-E3/61 maintains this clamping performance consistently across its specified operating temperature range.
Is the P4SMA75A-E3/61 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the P4SMA75A-E3/61 carries the "E3" suffix, indicating it is RoHS-compliant and meets commercial-grade environmental specifications per Vishay's material categorization. It is not halogen-free - that designation applies only to "M3" suffix variants. The P4SMA75A-E3/61 uses matte tin-plated leads and complies with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.
Does the P4SMA75A-E3/61 meet AEC-Q101 qualification?
No, the P4SMA75A-E3/61 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. That qualification applies only to variants with "HE3" or "HM3" suffixes (e.g., P4SMA75AHE3_A). The P4SMA75A-E3/61 is rated for commercial temperature range (–65 °C to +150 °C) and intended for industrial, telecom, and consumer applications where automotive-grade stress testing is not required.
What is the thermal resistance of the P4SMA75A-E3/61, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The P4SMA75A-E3/61 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 120 °C/W when mounted on minimum recommended pad layout (0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal). This value means each watt of sustained power dissipation raises junction temperature by 120 °C above ambient - so for reliable operation at 3.3 W rated power, ambient must stay below ~115 °C. The P4SMA75A-E3/61 requires adequate copper area and airflow to avoid thermal runaway during repetitive surges.
How does the polarity marking work on the P4SMA75A-E3/61?
The P4SMA75A-E3/61 is a unidirectional TVS diode with a visible cathode band on the SMA (DO-214AC) package body. During normal operation, the banded end connects to the line being protected (e.g., 24 V rail), and the opposite end connects to ground. When a transient exceeds VBR, the P4SMA75A-E3/61 conducts from cathode to anode, shunting surge current to ground. No marking appears on bidirectional variants - but the P4SMA75A-E3/61 is strictly unidirectional and relies on this band for correct orientation.
