Product details
Overview
P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I 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 a 70.1 V standoff voltage (VWM), 77.9–86.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 113 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 3.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 400 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - used in automotive sensor protection and industrial I/O interface surge suppression.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I datasheet, P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I pinout, P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I application, or P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 120 °C/W), and bidirectional clamping behavior critical for ESD and lightning transient design validation.
Technical Context
The P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I operates as a bidirectional avalanche diode, symmetrically clamping both positive and negative transients without polarity marking. Its glass-passivated junction enables fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance, supporting repetitive 0.01% duty-cycle surges per JEDEC standards.
Rated for -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, it delivers 3.3 W steady-state power dissipation on infinite heatsink at 50 °C ambient and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. The device is AEC-Q101 qualified (HE3 suffix) and RoHS-compliant, targeting automotive-grade reliability in harsh environments.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ85CA | Higher VWM (72.2 V), higher VC (125 V), same SMA package but larger die size; 600 W PPPM rating | Better suited for 75–85 V nominal systems requiring higher surge margin; less optimal for 24 V or 48 V rails due to reduced clamping margin | Select SMBJ85CA when system nominal voltage exceeds 70 V and 600 W surge headroom is required |
| 1.5KE82CA | Through-hole DO-201 package; 400 W PPPM, VWM = 70.1 V, VC = 113 V - identical electrical specs but different mounting | Used where manual assembly, high-reliability through-hole anchoring, or legacy board compatibility is mandatory | Choose 1.5KE82CA only when SMT is not feasible; avoid for new automotive designs due to lack of AEC-Q101 qualification |
Compared with P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I, SMBJ85CA offers higher surge capacity but looser clamping, while 1.5KE82CA matches electrical performance but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and surface-mount compatibility - making P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I the optimal choice for new automotive and industrial SMT designs requiring certified reliability.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I?
The "CA" suffix in P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I denotes a bidirectional configuration, meaning the device clamps voltage transients equally in both polarities without cathode marking. This distinguishes it from unidirectional variants (e.g., P4SMA82A) and makes P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I suitable for AC-coupled or differential signal lines where polarity reversal is possible.
Is P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HE3" suffix and documentation in Vishay's P4SMA datasheet (Rev. 09-Jan-2024). This qualification covers stress testing for automotive environments including temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life - validating P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I for use in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I and at what current is it specified?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I is 113 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 3.5 A using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value represents the worst-case voltage imposed on the protected circuit during surge events and is critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Can P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I be used in place of a unidirectional TVS like P4SMA82A?
No - P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I is bidirectional and lacks polarity marking, whereas P4SMA82A is unidirectional with a defined cathode band. Substituting P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I for P4SMA82A in DC-biased circuits may cause unintended conduction during normal operation. Use P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I only where true bidirectional clamping is required, such as across AC lines or differential data buses.
What packaging and reel options are available for P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I?
P4SMA82CAHE3_A/I is supplied in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel format (I-type packaging) with a base quantity of 7500 pieces per reel. The "I" suffix explicitly denotes this large-reel configuration, optimized for high-volume SMT production lines. Tape dimensions and sprocket hole pitch comply with EIA-481 standards for automated pick-and-place compatibility.
