Product details
Overview
P4SMA7.5H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, designed for overvoltage protection in DC power rails. It features a 6.75–8.25 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 6.05 V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 11.7 V clamping voltage (VC) at 35 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 µs waveform - ideal for protecting automotive-grade SMPS inputs against ISO 7637-2 pulses.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA7.5H datasheet, P4SMA7.5H pinout, P4SMA7.5H application, or P4SMA7.5H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, <1 ps response time, <500 µA reverse leakage at VWM, glass-passivated junction, and UL 94V-0 molding compound - all critical for robust, high-reliability board-level surge suppression in automotive and industrial environments.
Technical Context
The P4SMA7.5H operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with a single-die configuration optimized for fast clamping of transient energy on positive-polarity DC lines. Its junction is glass passivated to ensure stable leakage performance and long-term reliability under thermal cycling.
It meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b test requirements and is rated for operation across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. The device exhibits a 0.061 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, enabling predictable voltage drift over temperature in precision protection circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR @ IT = 10 mA | 6.75–8.25 V: Ensures reliable turn-on before system IC damage thresholds in 5 V–12 V rail applications. |
| VWM | 6.05 V: Allows safe operation above typical 5 V logic or USB supply rails without leakage-induced power loss. |
| VC @ IPPM = 35 A | 11.7 V: Limits downstream voltage stress during 400 W transients, protecting 12 V-rated components like MOSFET gate drivers. |
| IR @ VWM | <500 µA: Minimizes standby current drain in battery-powered or always-on systems. |
| PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs): Handles automotive load-dump and inductive-switching surges without degradation. |
| TJ max | +150 °C: Supports under-hood and high-temperature PCB placement without derating concerns. |
| Response time | <1.0 ps: Clamps faster than most microcontroller I/O or power stage propagation delays, preventing latch-up. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AC (SMA), surface-mount, single-ended cathode-banded configuration. Matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability; polarity marked by cathode band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.0A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 7.0 V nominal VBR; 7.78 V VC @ 34.4 A; 600 W PPPM. | Higher clamping voltage margin but larger footprint; better suited for space-tolerant 12 V systems with higher surge budgets. | Select SMBJ7.0A when board layout allows larger SMA-equivalent footprint and higher clamping voltage is acceptable for downstream component ratings. |
| 1.5SMC7.0A | DO-214AB (SMC) package; 7.0 V nominal VBR; 12.0 V VC @ 33.3 A; 1500 W PPPM. | Triple the peak power rating but 3× larger volume; intended for industrial mains-input stages, not compact DC/DC converters. | Choose 1.5SMC7.0A only for high-energy surge environments where PCB area and thermal mass permit larger SMC packaging. |
Compared with SMBJ7.0A and 1.5SMC7.0A, the P4SMA7.5H delivers optimal balance of compact DO-214AC footprint, AEC-Q101 qualification, and precise 6.05 V VWM for 5 V–12 V rail protection - making it preferred for space-constrained automotive and portable electronics where leakage, response speed, and qualification rigor are prioritized over raw power handling.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P4SMA7.5H under standard test conditions?
The P4SMA7.5H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 11.7 V at 35 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures downstream components rated for ≤12 V operation remain within safe voltage limits during surge events. The P4SMA7.5H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C.
Is the P4SMA7.5H suitable for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, the P4SMA7.5H is a unidirectional TVS diode and must be used with correct polarity - anode to the protected line, cathode to ground. For bidirectional applications, Taiwan Semiconductor offers the P4SMA7.5AH variant (marked AGJ), which provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities. Using the P4SMA7.5H in reverse-biased configurations risks permanent breakdown and failure; always verify polarity alignment in schematic and layout for the P4SMA7.5H.
Does the P4SMA7.5H require special handling or baking before reflow soldering?
No, the P4SMA7.5H is rated at Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life and does not require dry-packaging or pre-reflow baking. Its DO-214AC (SMA) package uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, supporting standard lead-free reflow profiles (e.g., JEDEC J-STD-020D). This simplifies manufacturing and eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk during assembly of the P4SMA7.5H.
How does the P4SMA7.5H compare to older SMA-package TVS diodes in terms of leakage current?
The P4SMA7.5H specifies maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 500 µA at its 6.05 V working stand-off voltage (VWM), significantly lower than legacy SMA TVS parts that often exceed 1 mA at similar VWM. This low leakage is achieved via glass passivation and tight process control, reducing standby power loss in always-on systems - a critical advantage for battery-backed modules and low-power automotive ECUs using the P4SMA7.5H.
Can the P4SMA7.5H be used in place of a Zener diode for voltage regulation?
No, the P4SMA7.5H is not designed for continuous voltage regulation. It is a transient suppression device rated for non-repetitive 400 W surges, not steady-state power dissipation. Its VBR tolerance (6.75–8.25 V) and lack of tight regulation specs make it unsuitable as a replacement for precision Zener regulators. Use the P4SMA7.5H strictly for surge clamping - not for DC voltage reference or linear regulation functions.
