Product details
Overview
P4SMA82AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, rated for 400W peak pulse power, 70.1V working stand-off voltage, and 113V maximum clamping voltage at 3.7A 10/1000μs surge current. It delivers AEC-Q101 qualification and meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b for automotive power line protection.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA82AH datasheet, P4SMA82AH pinout, P4SMA82AH application, or P4SMA82AH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 77.9–86.1V breakdown range at 1mA, <1μA reverse leakage at VWM, glass-passivated junction, and suitability for DC/DC converter input rail protection where fast clamping (<1ps response) and low capacitance are critical.
Technical Context
The P4SMA82AH operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with a single-die configuration optimized for transient suppression on DC power lines. Its electrical behavior follows the IEC 61000-4-5 and ISO 7637-2 standards, featuring a tightly controlled 77.9–86.1V breakdown voltage window and temperature coefficient of 0.105%/°C.
Designed for automated SMT placement, it uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing. The device sustains 40A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3ms half-sine) and maintains stable clamping performance across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ80A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 80V VWM, 125V VC @ 3.2A; same 400W rating but higher clamping voltage | Higher thermal resistance due to smaller SMB package; less suitable for high-density layouts requiring SMA footprint | Select when board space allows larger standoff or when legacy SMB layout exists |
| 1.5SMC82A | DO-214AB (SMC) package; 82V VWM, 125V VC @ 3.2A; 1500W rating but physically larger and higher cost | Over-specified power handling increases PCB area and BOM cost without benefit for 400W-level threats | Choose only if system-level testing requires >1000W surge margin or existing SMC footprint mandates |
Compared with SMBJ80A and 1.5SMC82A, the P4SMA82AH offers optimal balance of compact DO-214AC footprint, precise 70.1V stand-off, and 113V clamping-enabling tighter voltage margins in space-constrained automotive and industrial DC/DC designs without over-engineering.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the P4SMA82AH?
The P4SMA82AH has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 77.9 V to 86.1 V at 1 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This tight tolerance ensures consistent turn-on behavior across production lots and supports reliable design margining for 72–80V nominal systems. The P4SMA82AH's VBR is validated using square-wave pulses of 300 μs duration.
Is the P4SMA82AH suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the P4SMA82AH is a unidirectional TVS diode intended for DC line protection with defined anode and cathode polarity. For bidirectional applications, Taiwan Semiconductor specifies parts with "CH" or "CAH" suffixes (e.g., P4SMA82CH). Using the P4SMA82AH in reverse-biased AC configurations risks permanent failure due to forward conduction during negative transients.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P4SMA82AH under standard surge conditions?
The P4SMA82AH clamps to a maximum of 113 V when subjected to a 10/1000 μs waveform peak impulse current of 3.7 A. This value is guaranteed across temperature and lot variations and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events per IEC 61000-4-5.
Does the P4SMA82AH meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the P4SMA82AH is AEC-Q101 qualified and tested for automotive-grade reliability, including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and electrostatic discharge (ESD). It also meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b requirements-making it suitable for use in engine control units, body control modules, and other automotive electronic control units.
What packaging and reel quantity is offered for the P4SMA82AH?
The P4SMA82AH is supplied in DO-214AC (SMA) package format on 7,500-piece tape-and-reel carriers, optimized for high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly. The lead finish is matte tin per J-STD-002, and the device complies with J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1-requiring no dry pack or baking prior to reflow soldering.
