Product details
Overview
P4SMA75AHE3/5A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 75 V standoff voltage (VWM), 71.3–78.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, and 104 V clamping voltage (VC) at 3.9 A peak pulse current (IPPM), designed to protect sensitive ICs and MOSFETs against inductive switching transients and ESD in automotive and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA75AHE3/5A datasheet, P4SMA75AHE3/5A pinout, P4SMA75AHE3/5A application, or P4SMA75AHE3/5A equivalent, this device delivers AEC-Q101 qualification, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), low incremental surge resistance, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity - critical for high-reliability automotive electronics and industrial control systems requiring robust overvoltage protection.
Technical Context
The P4SMA75AHE3/5A operates as a unidirectional clamping TVS diode with avalanche breakdown behavior, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its specified VBR range. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of transient energy before downstream components are damaged.
Thermal design relies on its RθJA of 120 °C/W and RθJL of 30 °C/W, with derating above 25 °C per Figure 2. It supports repetitive 0.01% duty cycle pulses up to 400 W below 91 V and 300 W above 91 V, mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per JEDEC standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 64.1 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC/AC rail margin. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 71.3–78.8 V at 1 mA - Avalanche onset threshold; tight tolerance ensures predictable triggering across temperature. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 104 V at IPPM = 3.9 A - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs transient; limits stress on downstream ICs. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 400 W (10/1000 µs waveform) - Energy-handling capacity for single or low-duty-cycle surges; enables protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 events. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | 1.0 µA at VWM - Ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity and minimizes standby power loss in high-impedance circuits. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature rating; supports operation in under-hood automotive environments and enclosed industrial enclosures. |

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 | Same VWM (64.1 V) and VC (104 V), but SMB package (DO-214AA); 600 W PPPM rating; higher thermal mass. | Preferred where board space allows larger footprint and higher surge margin is needed (e.g., industrial mains input stages). | Select SMBJ75A if layout permits larger pad area and system requires >400 W transient handling without derating. |
| 1.5SMC75A | Same electrical specs, but SMC (DO-214AB) package; 1500 W PPPM; higher IFSM (100 A); RθJA = 100 °C/W. | Better suited for high-repetition-rate surges and higher ambient temperatures due to improved thermal dissipation. | Choose 1.5SMC75A when protecting high-power motor drives or inverters with frequent switching-induced transients. |
Compared with P4SMA75AHE3/5A, SMBJ75A offers higher surge margin in a slightly larger package, while 1.5SMC75A provides superior thermal performance and repetition capability - both retain identical clamping behavior but differ in mechanical integration and thermal envelope.
