Product details
Overview
P4SMA75AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, rated for 400W peak pulse power, 71.3–78.8V breakdown voltage at 1mA, 64.1V working stand-off voltage, and clamps to ≤103V at 4.0A 10/1000μs surge. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used for automotive and industrial DC/DC converter overvoltage protection.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA75AH datasheet, P4SMA75AH pinout, P4SMA75AH application, or P4SMA75AH equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin vs. protected IC VDD, leakage current at operating bias, AEC-Q101 qualification status, DO-214AC thermal performance under repetitive surge, and compliance with ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b.
Technical Context
The P4SMA75AH employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast transient suppression, with typical response time under 1.0ps and maximum reverse leakage of 1μA at 64.1V. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction path during negative transients only when used with proper polarity alignment.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, it operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and is moisture-sensitive Level 1 per J-STD-020 - enabling direct placement without bake-out prior to reflow.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75A | Same 75V nominal, but SMB package (DO-214AA); 600W peak power; higher thermal mass. | Higher power handling suits higher-energy surges; larger footprint may conflict with dense layouts. | Select SMBJ75A only if board space allows and surge energy exceeds 400W capability of P4SMA75AH. |
| 1.5SMC75A | Same 75V rating, but SMC package (DO-214AB); 1500W peak power; higher IPPM (21.7A). | Designed for mains-connected equipment; not AEC-Q101 qualified; unsuitable for automotive. | Choose 1.5SMC75A for industrial AC/DC front-end protection where automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
Compared with SMBJ75A and 1.5SMC75A, the P4SMA75AH offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 compliance, DO-214AC footprint efficiency, and 400W surge capacity - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained automotive DC/DC and lighting modules requiring validated reliability.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the P4SMA75AH under a 10/1000μs surge?
The P4SMA75AH has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 103V when subjected to a 4.0A peak impulse current with a 10/1000μs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The P4SMA75AH maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of –55°C to +150°C.
Is the P4SMA75AH suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the P4SMA75AH is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not rated for bidirectional operation. For bidirectional protection in the same voltage range, Taiwan Semiconductor specifies the P4SMA75CAH variant (with "CAH" suffix). Using the P4SMA75AH in reverse-biased configurations risks exceeding its maximum reverse voltage rating and may lead to premature failure. Always verify polarity alignment in schematic and layout for the P4SMA75AH.
Does the P4SMA75AH meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the P4SMA75AH is AEC-Q101 qualified and additionally meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b test requirements for automotive electrical disturbances. Its construction includes glass-passivated junctions, JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and moisture sensitivity level 1 - all supporting reliable deployment in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems where long-term field reliability is mandatory.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of the P4SMA75AH at its working voltage?
The P4SMA75AH exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1μA when biased at its working stand-off voltage (VWM) of 64.1V. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on systems and prevents interference with high-impedance monitoring circuits. The specification is guaranteed at TA = 25°C and remains within 5× this value across the full –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
What package type does the P4SMA75AH use, and what are its key mechanical attributes?
The P4SMA75AH uses the DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package: a compact, rectangular molded case with cathode band polarity marking, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and UL 94V-0 flammability rating. Its mass is approximately 0.060g, and it supports automated placement without pre-bake due to moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020. The package dimensions align with standard SMA footprints for seamless PCB integration.
