Product details
Overview
P4SMA82AHE3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, designed for clamping transient overvoltages on power and signal lines. It features a 77.9 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 70.1 V maximum standoff voltage (VWM), 113 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 3.5 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in automotive and industrial electronics.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA82AHE3_A/H datasheet, P4SMA82AHE3_A/H pinout, P4SMA82AHE3_A/H application, or P4SMA82AHE3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, unidirectional polarity, low incremental surge resistance, fast response time, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on PCBs requiring robust ESD and surge immunity per IEC 61000-4-2/4-5.
Technical Context
The P4SMA82AHE3_A/H operates as a clamping-type TVS diode that enters avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its VBR threshold (77.9–86.1 V), limiting transient energy by diverting surge current away from protected circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and long-term reliability under repetitive surge stress.
Rated for 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) and 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), it maintains thermal stability via RθJA = 120 °C/W and operates across –65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range - validated for automotive-grade deployment per AEC-Q101 requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 77.9 V / 86.1 V - defines precise avalanche onset range for predictable clamping behavior |
| VWM | 70.1 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage rises significantly |
| VC @ IPPM | 113 V at 3.5 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, determining protection margin for downstream ICs |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak transient energy absorption capability without failure under standard surge waveform |
| IFSM | 40 A - withstands single half-sine surge events common in automotive load-dump scenarios |
| TJ max | +150 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - certified for automotive electronic systems requiring zero-defect reliability and extended temperature cycling |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), surface-mount, low-profile plastic case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102; cathode indicated by band marking.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ82A-E3/5A | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs but lower PPPM (400 W vs. 400 W), identical SMA package and AEC-Q101 qualification | No functional difference; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (5A vs. H) and base suffix (E3 vs. HE3) | Select SMAJ82A-E3/5A if sourcing volume reels (7500 pcs) or requiring legacy Vishay part numbering alignment |
| 1.5SMC82A | Higher package thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 150 °C/W vs. 120 °C/W), same electrical specs, larger SMC (DO-214AB) footprint | Requires PCB layout change; better suited for higher-power derating needs where board space permits larger package | Choose 1.5SMC82A only when thermal margin is constrained and DO-214AB mounting is already standardized in design |
Compared with SMAJ82A-E3/5A, P4SMA82AHE3_A/H offers identical protection performance in a RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified variant with optimized SMT process compatibility; versus 1.5SMC82A, it delivers superior thermal performance in a smaller footprint but requires verification of current layout compatibility with DO-214AC dimensions.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of P4SMA82AHE3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The P4SMA82AHE3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V at 3.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events and is critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings. The P4SMA82AHE3_A/H achieves this clamping performance while maintaining low incremental surge resistance and fast response time.
Is P4SMA82AHE3_A/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, P4SMA82AHE3_A/H is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024. This qualification covers temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and surge endurance testing required for automotive electronics deployed in engine compartments, body control modules, and ADAS subsystems. The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101-qualified construction, making P4SMA82AHE3_A/H suitable for Tier 1 automotive supply chains.
What does the "HE3_A/H" suffix mean in P4SMA82AHE3_A/H?
The "HE3" portion indicates RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification; "A" denotes the revision level of the device specification; and "H" specifies the packaging format - 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel containing 1800 units. This full suffix distinguishes P4SMA82AHE3_A/H from commercial-grade variants (e.g., E3/61) and confirms its automotive-grade material content, test certification, and logistics configuration. The P4SMA82AHE3_A/H ordering code ensures traceability to qualified production lots.
How does P4SMA82AHE3_A/H compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like P4SMA82CA?
P4SMA82AHE3_A/H is unidirectional and intended for DC power line or signal line protection where polarity is fixed, offering lower leakage current and tighter VBR tolerance than bidirectional equivalents. In contrast, P4SMA82CA supports AC-coupled or polarity-agnostic applications but exhibits higher reverse leakage above VWM. The P4SMA82AHE3_A/H's cathode band marking and single-junction structure simplify layout and reduce parasitic capacitance - advantageous for high-speed signal lines where P4SMA82AHE3_A/H is preferred over bidirectional alternatives.
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for P4SMA82AHE3_A/H?
The P4SMA82AHE3_A/H has a maximum operating junction temperature (TJmax) of +150 °C, as specified in the Vishay datasheet. This rating enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial enclosures. Thermal design must account for RθJA = 120 °C/W and recommended 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal to maintain safe junction temperatures during repetitive surge events. Derating curves in Figure 2 of the P4SMA82AHE3_A/H datasheet guide thermal margin validation across ambient conditions.
