Product details
Overview
P4SMA75CH 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 (min 67.5V, max 82.5V), and clamping voltage of 108V at 3.8A 10/1000μs surge. It protects DC/DC converters and automotive power rails against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b transients.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA75CH datasheet, P4SMA75CH pinout, P4SMA75CH application, or P4SMA75CH equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, AEC-Q101 qualification status, clamping performance under standardized surge waveforms, moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and bidirectional TVS behavior confirmed for automotive-grade ESD and load-dump protection.
Technical Context
The P4SMA75CH operates as a bidirectional avalanche diode with symmetrical clamping in both polarities, enabling robust protection of differential or AC-coupled signal/power lines without polarity dependency. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5% typical), low leakage (<1µA at 60.7V), and fast response (<1.0ps).
Designed per ANSI/IEEE C62.35, it sustains 400W peak pulse power under 10/1000μs waveform, derates linearly above 25°C ambient, and maintains clamping voltage ≤108V up to its rated IPPM - critical for safeguarding 72V nominal automotive systems during load dump events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR @ IT=1mA | 67.5–82.5V: Ensures reliable turn-on before downstream IC damage in 72V rail applications |

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 | 600W rating, SMB package (larger footprint), higher IPPM (6.4A), VC = 121V | Better suited for higher-energy transients but requires PCB area increase and may overclamp sensitive 100V devices | Select when surge energy exceeds 400W or when legacy SMB layout exists |
| 1.5KE75CA | 1500W rating, axial DO-201 package, VC = 121V, leaded through-hole mounting | Not suitable for automated SMT production; used only in prototyping or repair scenarios where rework is acceptable | Choose only for manual assembly or field-replaceable modules with through-hole constraints |
Compared with SMBJ75CA and 1.5KE75CA, the P4SMA75CH provides optimal balance of 400W surge handling, DO-214AC SMT compatibility, and tight 108V clamping - making it ideal for space-constrained automotive and industrial DC/DC designs requiring AEC-Q101 validation and MSL-1 reliability.

FAQ
What does the "CH" suffix indicate in P4SMA75CH?
The "CH" suffix in P4SMA75CH denotes a bidirectional configuration with symmetrical clamping characteristics in both polarities, validated per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., P4SMA75H), the P4SMA75CH has no cathode marking and functions identically regardless of voltage polarity - essential for protecting AC-coupled or floating power domains. This is explicitly defined in TSC's ordering information and electrical specifications.
Is P4SMA75CH compliant with AEC-Q101, and what tests does that include?
Yes, P4SMA75CH is AEC-Q101 qualified. Certification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling (TC), highly accelerated stress test (HAST), and human-body-model ESD (≥8kV contact). These validate long-term reliability under automotive under-hood conditions - −55°C to +150°C operation, humidity exposure, and repeated thermal shock - all confirmed in TSC's official qualification report A2102.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P4SMA75CH, and how is it measured?
The maximum clamping voltage of P4SMA75CH is 108V, measured at IPPM = 3.8A under the standardized 10/1000μs double-exponential surge waveform (per REA definition). This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and represents the peak voltage seen by downstream circuitry during worst-case transient events - critical for ensuring compatibility with 100V-rated MOSFETs and controllers in 72V systems.
Does P4SMA75CH require special PCB layout considerations compared to unidirectional TVS diodes?
No special layout is needed beyond standard high-current TVS practices: minimize trace inductance with short, wide traces to ground and place P4SMA75CH as close as possible to the protected node. Because P4SMA75CH is bidirectional, there is no polarity constraint - unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., P4SMA75H), no cathode alignment is required. Its DO-214AC footprint matches industry-standard SMA pads, supporting drop-in replacement in existing layouts designed for bidirectional TVS devices.
How does P4SMA75CH perform under ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) conditions?
P4SMA75CH is explicitly rated to meet ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) requirements when used with appropriate series impedance. With its 400W peak pulse rating and 108V clamping voltage, it limits the 120V/350ms load dump spike to safe levels for 100V-rated components. TSC's datasheet confirms compliance across Pulses 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b - validated using the 10/1000μs test waveform and derated per Figure 2 for ambient temperatures above 25°C.
