Product details
Overview
P4SMA82CH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, rated for 400W peak pulse power, 73.8–90.2V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 118V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 3.5A peak impulse current - designed to protect automotive-grade DC/DC converters against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b transients.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA82CH datasheet, P4SMA82CH pinout, P4SMA82CH application, or P4SMA82CH equivalent, this device requires attention to bidirectional polarity marking, clamping performance under 10/1000μs surge, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on high-reliability power rails.
Technical Context
The P4SMA82CH operates as a bidirectional avalanche diode, symmetrically clamping voltage surges in both polarities with a typical response time under 1.0ps. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5% for standard H version; tighter for AH variant) and low leakage (<1μA at VWM = 66.4V).
It meets ISO 7637-2 immunity requirements for automotive electronics and is rated for continuous operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, with moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020 - enabling reflow-compatible assembly without dry-pack handling.

| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR @ IT = 1mA | 73.8–90.2V - defines minimum and maximum avalanche initiation threshold under standardized test conditions |
| VWM | 66.4V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before significant leakage begins |
| VC @ IPPM = 3.5A | 118V - clamped voltage during 10/1000μs surge, limiting downstream circuit stress |
| PPPM | 400W - peak pulse power dissipation capability under standardized 10/1000μs waveform |
| IR @ VWM | <1μA - ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity in high-impedance circuits |
| TJ Range | –55°C to +150°C - supports under-hood and powertrain applications without derating |
| Package | DO-214AC (SMA) - industry-standard SMT outline with cathode band marking and matte tin leads |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package with axial lead configuration: Cathode marked by band on body; anode and cathode terminals are non-polarized for bidirectional operation - terminals accept standard reflow profiles per J-STD-002.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Applications
| Automotive On-Board DC/DC Converter | Industrial SMPS Input Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12V/24V input rails of buck-derived DC/DC modules in engine control units and ADAS domain controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS clamp placed directly at converter input filter stage to absorb ISO 7637-2 Pulse 2b (battery interruption) and Pulse 5a (load dump). Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤118V, preventing MOSFET gate oxide rupture and controller latch-up while maintaining <1μA leakage at 66.4V nominal rail. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding primary-side rectifier and controller ICs in industrial switch-mode power supplies exposed to line surges and inductive kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS across bulk capacitor input to shunt 400W 10/1000μs surges before they propagate into PWM controller and gate drivers. Use Value: Delivers 118V clamping at 3.5A with sub-1ps response, reducing required MOV energy rating and minimizing board space versus multi-stage protection. |
| LED Driver Power Input | Automotive Lighting Module |
Use Scenario: Securing constant-current LED driver ICs powered from vehicle battery in headlamp and tail lamp assemblies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage protection element placed upstream of input EMI filter to handle repetitive cold-crank and jump-start transients. Use Value: Withstands ≥1000 surges at rated PPPM, maintains VWM = 66.4V to avoid false triggering during 12V nominal operation, and fits DO-214AC footprint for high-density layout. | Use Scenario: Integrated protection in adaptive front-lighting systems (AFS) where LED arrays and motor drivers share common 12V supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping device co-located with power entry connector to suppress coupled noise from adjacent solenoid actuation and CAN bus transients. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification and –55°C to +150°C operation ensure reliability across full automotive ambient range; halogen-free and RoHS-compliant construction meets OEM material declarations. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ85CA | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 85V standoff; 400W rating; slightly higher VC = 121V at same IPPM | Larger footprint (SMB vs SMA); lower thermal resistance but less dense placement | Select when board space allows larger package and higher clamping margin is acceptable |
| 1.5KE85CA | Through-hole DO-15 package; same 85V VWM; 1500W rating; VC = 123V at 12.3A | Not SMT-compatible; suited for prototyping or legacy through-hole designs | Choose only for manual assembly or retrofit where rework of SMT pads is impractical |
Compared with SMBJ85CA and 1.5KE85CA, the P4SMA82CH offers superior SMT manufacturability in DO-214AC, tighter VBR tolerance (73.8–90.2V vs ±10%), and AEC-Q101 validation - making it the preferred choice for new automotive and high-reliability industrial designs requiring compact, qualified, and repeatable surge suppression.

FAQ
What does the "CH" suffix indicate in P4SMA82CH?
The "CH" suffix in P4SMA82CH denotes a bidirectional configuration with AEC-Q101 qualification. Unlike unidirectional variants ending in "H", the "CH" version provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities - critical for protecting AC-coupled or floating-rail circuits in automotive and industrial applications. The P4SMA82CH maintains all electrical specs listed for the P4SMA82H series while adding bidirectional capability and automotive stress validation.
Is P4SMA82CH compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, P4SMA82CH is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering. Its DO-214AC (SMA) package features matte tin-plated leads that meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, and its molding compound complies with UL 94V-0 flammability rating. The device is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C and has moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020 - eliminating the need for pre-baking before assembly.
How does P4SMA82CH differ from the "AH" variant (e.g., P4SMA82AH)?
The P4SMA82CH differs from P4SMA82AH in both configuration and specification tightness: P4SMA82CH is bidirectional (CH suffix), whereas P4SMA82AH is unidirectional with tighter VBR tolerance (77.9–86.1V vs 73.8–90.2V). The "AH" variant also specifies lower VC (113V vs 118V) and higher VWM (70.1V vs 66.4V), making it better suited for higher-voltage unidirectional rails where leakage and clamping margin are critical.
Does P4SMA82CH meet ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) requirements?
P4SMA82CH is specified to meet ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b - but not Pulse 5a (load dump), which requires >300V clamping capability and energy handling beyond 400W. Pulse 5a typically demands higher-power devices such as 5.0SMDJ or TP5.0 series. For P4SMA82CH, the 118V clamping voltage and 400W rating make it appropriate for lower-energy transients like switching noise and battery interruption - not sustained load dump events.
Can P4SMA82CH be used in place of a unidirectional TVS like P4SMA82H?
No - P4SMA82CH cannot be used as a direct replacement for unidirectional P4SMA82H without circuit review. While both share identical VBR, VWM, and VC values, the P4SMA82CH is bidirectional and lacks defined anode/cathode polarity. Substituting it in a unidirectional design may cause unintended conduction paths or fail to suppress negative-going transients if the original layout assumes polarity-sensitive placement. Always verify schematic symbol and board marking alignment before interchange.
