Product details
Overview
P4SMA82AHM3_A/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 82 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 77.9–86.1 V at 1 mA), 70.1 V standoff voltage (VWM), and 113 V clamping voltage (VC) at 3.5 A peak pulse current. It delivers 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), supports automotive-grade reliability per AEC-Q101, and protects MOSFETs and ICs against inductive switching transients in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA82AHM3_A/I datasheet, P4SMA82AHM3_A/I pinout, P4SMA82AHM3_A/I application, or P4SMA82AHM3_A/I equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, clamping performance under surge conditions, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant sourcing details - all specific to the HM3_A/I variant.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VWM (70.1 V), it transitions from high-impedance blocking to low-impedance conduction at VBR (min 77.9 V), limiting transient voltage to ≤113 V at 3.5 A. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable avalanche characteristics and fast response (<1 ns).
Thermal design relies on RθJA = 120 °C/W (typical, no heatsink) and RθJL = 30 °C/W, with derating above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2. The device is qualified to AEC-Q101, uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and meets MSL Level 1 (peak reflow 260 °C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 77.9 V / 86.1 V at 1 mA - defines precise avalanche initiation window for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 70.1 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 113 V at 3.5 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting stress on downstream components |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability under standard lightning-surge waveform |
| IFSM | 40 A - single half-sine surge rating (8.3 ms), critical for inrush and fault-current protection |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature enabling operation in under-hood or enclosed industrial environments |
| Package | SMA (DO-214AC) - standardized SMD outline with 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad requirement for thermal management |
Pinout & Package
SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package with cathode band marking; terminals are matte tin-plated for solderability per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 24 V DC input rails in programmable logic controllers (PLCs) against load dump and relay coil flyback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional shunt TVS placed across input capacitor to clamp transients before they reach DC-DC converters and microcontrollers. Use Value: Clamps 10/1000 µs surges to ≤113 V, preventing damage to 36 V-rated input stages while maintaining <1 µA leakage at 24 V nominal. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding LIN bus transceivers and sensor interfaces in BCMs exposed to battery voltage spikes during jump-start or alternator load dump. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS on 12 V supply rail upstream of regulator, activated only during >70.1 V events. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification ensures operation from −40 °C to +125 °C ambient, with 40 A IFSM tolerance for sustained overvoltage events. |
| Telecom Line Card Surge Protection | Consumer Appliance Motor Drive Stage |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side transient suppression on 48 V PoE-powered Ethernet switch line cards subjected to induced lightning surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response TVS parallel to DC-DC output stage, triggered within nanoseconds to limit overshoot on PHY ICs. Use Value: 113 V clamping voltage prevents latch-up in 5 V/3.3 V logic interfaces powered from regulated 48 V rails. |
Use Scenario: Protecting gate drivers and bootstrap circuits in BLDC motor inverters from shoot-through-induced voltage spikes during commutation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp diode across high-side FET source-drain to absorb inductive kickback from motor windings. Use Value: 400 W peak power rating handles repetitive 10/1000 µs transients common in 20 kHz PWM-driven motor systems without degradation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ82A-E3/5A | Same VBR range (77.9–86.1 V), but lower PPPM = 400 W (same), higher VC = 137 V at 2.9 A; non-AEC-Q101, commercial grade only | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for cost-sensitive industrial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated | Select if AEC-Q101 is unnecessary and lead time favors Vishay's SMAJ series inventory |
| 1.5SMC82AHE3/A | Higher package thermal mass (SMC/DO-214AB), same VBR, VC = 113 V at 3.5 A, PPPM = 1500 W - significantly higher surge capacity | Requires larger PCB footprint (7.11 mm × 6.22 mm vs. SMA's 4.50 mm × 2.79 mm); suited for high-energy surge zones | Choose when system-level surge tests exceed IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 and board space permits larger package |
Compared with P4SMA82AHM3_A/I, SMAJ82A-E3/5A offers identical clamping performance but lacks automotive qualification and has higher VC at lower IPPM, while 1.5SMC82AHE3/A trades compactness for 3.75× higher peak power handling - making P4SMA82AHM3_A/I optimal for space-constrained AEC-Q101 designs needing precise 400 W/113 V performance.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for P4SMA82AHM3_A/I?
The P4SMA82AHM3_A/I has a guaranteed 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 ±5% tolerance ensures predictable turn-on behavior during overvoltage events and aligns with the "82A" designation in the P4SMA family nomenclature.
Is P4SMA82AHM3_A/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, P4SMA82AHM3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified - confirmed by its HM3 suffix and documentation in Vishay's P4SMA datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024. It undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life, making it suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics.
What does the "HM3_A/I" suffix mean in P4SMA82AHM3_A/I?
In P4SMA82AHM3_A/I, "HM3" indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification; "A" denotes the revision level (per ordering table footnote 1); "I" specifies 7500-unit tape-and-reel packaging on 13-inch reels - distinct from "H" (1800-unit, 7-inch reels).
How does P4SMA82AHM3_A/I perform thermally on a standard PCB layout?
When mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per Vishay's recommended layout, P4SMA82AHM3_A/I achieves RθJA ≈ 120 °C/W. At 3.3 W steady-state dissipation, junction temperature rise is ~396 °C - thus it is intended for transient-only operation; continuous power must remain well below PD = 3.3 W.
Can P4SMA82AHM3_A/I be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - P4SMA82AHM3_A/I is strictly unidirectional, as indicated by the "A" (not "CA") suffix and cathode band marking. Bidirectional variants (e.g., P4SMA82CA) exist in the same family but have different VBR/VWM ratings and no polarity marking; substituting them requires circuit redesign to accommodate symmetrical clamping.
