Product details
Overview
P4SMA75C from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, rated for 400W peak pulse power, 75V breakdown voltage (67.5–82.5V), and 108V maximum clamping voltage at 3.8A 10/1000μs surge current-designed to protect DC/DC converters and lighting circuits against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b transients.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA75C datasheet, P4SMA75C pinout, P4SMA75C application, or P4SMA75C equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, sub-1ps response time, <1μA leakage at 60.7V working stand-off voltage, compliance with J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and UL 94V-0 molding compound-critical for automotive-grade power rail protection.
Technical Context
The P4SMA75C implements a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast transient suppression in bidirectional signal and power lines. Its electrical characteristics apply identically in both directions, with VBR tested at 1mA and VC measured under standardized 10/1000μs waveform per ANSI/IEEE C62.35.
Thermal derating follows Figure 2: peak power drops linearly above 25°C ambient, maintaining 150°C max junction temperature. The device meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (inductive load dump), Pulse 2a/2b (battery disconnect/relay bounce), and Pulse 3a/3b (capacitive coupling switch noise), confirming suitability for automotive electronics power conditioning.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AC (SMA), surface-mount, single-die bidirectional configuration. Cathode band marking denotes polarity reference; for bidirectional use (suffix "C"), the band indicates the center tap-both terminals are functionally symmetric.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Transient current entry (reverse bias) | Accepts surge current during positive or negative voltage excursion relative to cathode band |
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current return path | Serves as reference node; bidirectional symmetry means either terminal may serve as system ground reference |
Key Features

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line transient suppressor after bridge rectifier, shunting surge energy away from bulk capacitor and controller IC. Use Value: 108V clamping voltage allows use with 75V-rated electrolytics; DO-214AC footprint enables high-density layout without thermal vias. | Use Scenario: Input rail protection for point-of-load (POL) converters powering FPGAs and ASICs in telecom base stations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Localized TVS placed adjacent to POL input pins to suppress board-level coupling and hot-swap transients. Use Value: 60.7V working stand-off supports 48V nominal systems with 25% tolerance; bidirectional operation eliminates polarity concerns during maintenance hot-plug. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75CA (Bourns) | Same DO-214AA package, 400W rating, but 75V VBR min/max tighter (67.5–77.9V); 112V VC @ 3.6A | Higher clamping voltage reduces margin for 75V-rated downstream components | Select when footprint compatibility with SMBJ-series boards is required and higher VC is acceptable |
| 1.5KE75CA (ON Semiconductor) | Through-hole DO-15 package, same 75V VBR range, 400W rating, 112V VC @ 3.6A | Not surface-mountable; incompatible with automated SMT lines and high-density PCB layouts | Select only for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where rework flexibility outweighs production efficiency |
Compared with SMBJ75CA and 1.5KE75CA, the P4SMA75C offers identical 75V standoff and lower 108V clamping voltage in a compact DO-214AC package-delivering superior surge margin and SMT manufacturability for space-constrained automotive and industrial power modules.

FAQ
What does the "C" suffix indicate in P4SMA75C?
The "C" suffix in P4SMA75C designates a bidirectional configuration-meaning the device provides symmetrical transient suppression in both forward and reverse directions. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., P4SMA75A), the P4SMA75C has no inherent anode/cathode polarity for clamping; its electrical characteristics apply identically across both terminals, making it ideal for AC-coupled or floating bus protection where voltage polarity reverses.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P4SMA75C under standard test conditions?
The P4SMA75C has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 108V when subjected to a 10/1000μs surge waveform at its rated peak pulse current of 3.8A. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and represents the upper limit of voltage imposed on the protected circuit during worst-case transient events-ensuring downstream components rated for ≥108V remain within safe operating limits.
Does P4SMA75C meet automotive transient immunity standards?
Yes, the P4SMA75C meets ISO 7637-2 requirements for Pulse 1 (inductive load dump), Pulse 2a/2b (battery disconnection and relay bounce), and Pulse 3a/3b (capacitive coupling and switch noise). Its 400W peak pulse power rating, 150°C junction temperature capability, and glass-passivated junction are validated for use in automotive power distribution modules, body control units, and lighting control systems per AEC-Q200 stress testing guidelines.
What is the working stand-off voltage (VWM) of P4SMA75C, and why is it important?
The P4SMA75C has a working stand-off voltage (VWM) of 60.7V-the maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage that can be applied without exceeding 1μA leakage current. This parameter defines the safe operating margin below breakdown (VBR = 67.5–82.5V) and ensures the device remains non-conductive during normal operation while retaining fast response when transients exceed this threshold.
Is P4SMA75C compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the P4SMA75C is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, and its moisture sensitivity level is rated J-STD-020 Level 1-meaning it can be processed using standard IPC/JEDEC profiles (e.g., peak temperature up to 260°C) without pre-baking, supporting high-yield, high-volume SMT assembly in automotive and industrial manufacturing lines.
