Product details
Overview
P4SMA82CAHE3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal and power lines. It features 82 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max = 77.9 V / 86.1 V at 1 mA), 70.1 V 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 systems.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA82CAHE3_A/H datasheet, P4SMA82CAHE3_A/H pinout, P4SMA82CAHE3_A/H application, or P4SMA82CAHE3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, low incremental surge resistance, thermal resistance (RθJA = 120 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on standard PCB copper pads.
Technical Context
The P4SMA82CAHE3_A/H operates as a bidirectional avalanche diode, symmetrically clamping transient overvoltages in both polarities without polarity marking. Its glass-passivated junction enables fast response time (<1 ns) and stable breakdown characteristics across temperature (tempco = 0.105 %/°C).
It delivers 400 W peak pulse power (derated to 300 W above 91 V) under 10/1000 µs waveform, with 3.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) and 113 V clamping voltage - validated under JEDEC-standard mounting on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads. Junction temperature range spans −65 °C to +150 °C, supporting automotive under-hood environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 77.9 V / 86.1 V at IT = 1 mA - defines reliable avalanche initiation threshold in both directions |

Use Scenario: Protecting CAN/LIN bus transceivers and analog sensor inputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) from load dump and inductive switching transients in vehicles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS placed between signal line and chassis ground to clamp ±100 V spikes within nanoseconds. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or permanent damage to 3.3 V/5 V interface ICs while maintaining signal integrity due to low capacitance (<100 pF at VWM). |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding digital input modules in programmable logic controllers exposed to 24 V DC field wiring surges and relay coil kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS shunting transients before they reach optocoupler or microcontroller GPIO pins. Use Value: Enables compliance with IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT) and IEC 61000-4-5 (surge) without additional filtering components. |
| Telecom Line Interface | Consumer Power Adapter ESD Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Shielding Ethernet PHY magnetics secondary side and RS-485 transceiver terminals from lightning-induced surges on outdoor cabling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-level transient suppressor mounted at connector entry point, upstream of common-mode chokes. Use Value: Limits induced common-mode voltage to <113 V, preserving isolation barrier integrity and preventing data corruption. |
Use Scenario: Adding secondary-side surge immunity to USB-C PD adapters and AC/DC wall adapters handling ungrounded user contact. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage TVS across output rails (e.g., 5 V/9 V/20 V) to absorb human-body-model (HBM) and system-level ESD events. Use Value: Meets UL 497B recognition and maintains <1 μA leakage at full-rated output voltage for standby efficiency. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional TVS protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ85CA | Higher VWM (72.2 V), higher VC (121 V), same SMA package but larger SMB footprint (DO-214AA) | Lower clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.42 vs. 1.38), less suitable for tight-margin 5 V rail protection | Select when board layout allows SMB package and higher clamping voltage is acceptable for 24 V systems |
| SMCJ85CA | Same VBR/VWM range, 1500 W rating, SMC (DO-214AB) package - 7.11 mm × 6.22 mm | Higher power handling but 3× larger footprint and 2.5× higher RθJA (100 °C/W), requiring more copper area | Choose for high-energy surge environments (e.g., outdoor telecom) where space permits larger package |
Compared with SMBJ85CA and SMCJ85CA, the P4SMA82CAHE3_A/H offers optimal balance of compact SMA footprint, AEC-Q101 qualification, and precise 70.1 V standoff - making it preferred for space-constrained automotive and industrial PCBs where 400 W surge immunity suffices.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for P4SMA82CAHE3_A/H?
The P4SMA82CAHE3_A/H has a specified breakdown voltage range of 77.9 V to 86.1 V at 1 mA test current, corresponding to ±5% tolerance around the nominal 82 V rating. This tolerance is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and applies equally in both directions due to its bidirectional construction. The P4SMA82CAHE3_A/H maintains this specification across −65 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature.
Is P4SMA82CAHE3_A/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the P4SMA82CAHE3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designated for automotive use with ordering code suffix "HE3" indicating RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101–qualified construction. It meets stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and ESD per AEC-Q101 Rev D, making it appropriate for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor protection circuits.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P4SMA82CAHE3_A/H under surge conditions?
The P4SMA82CAHE3_A/H exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 113 V at 3.5 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform, as verified on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads. This value represents the upper limit of voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case transient events and is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range.
Does P4SMA82CAHE3_A/H have polarity markings?
No, the P4SMA82CAHE3_A/H is a bidirectional TVS diode and carries no polarity marking on its SMA (DO-214AC) package. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., P4SMA82A), it functions identically in either orientation and is intended for AC signal lines, differential buses, or floating grounds where polarity reversal may occur.
What is the thermal resistance of P4SMA82CAHE3_A/H?
The P4SMA82CAHE3_A/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 120 °C/W when mounted on minimum recommended PCB copper pads. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions (single device on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pad per terminal) and is essential for calculating safe power derating above 25 °C ambient temperature.
