Product details
Overview
P4SMA82H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 400W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, with breakdown voltage 73.8–90.2 V at 1 mA, working stand-off voltage 66.4 V, clamping voltage 118 V at 3.5 A (10/1000 µs), and junction temperature range −55 °C to +150 °C. It protects DC/DC converters and automotive power rails against ISO 7637-2 pulses.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA82H datasheet, P4SMA82H pinout, P4SMA82H application, or P4SMA82H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 66.4 V stand-off rating, 118 V clamping under 3.5 A surge, AEC-Q101 qualification, and DO-214AC mechanical compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The P4SMA82H operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, activated when reverse voltage exceeds its 73.8–90.2 V breakdown threshold. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1 µA at 66.4 V) and fast response (<1.0 ps), enabling effective suppression of fast transients like ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b.
Thermal derating follows Fig.2: peak pulse power drops linearly above 25 °C ambient, maintaining safe operation up to TJ = 150 °C. The device is rated for non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine forward surge current of 40 A and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR @ IT | 73.8–90.2 V at 1 mA - defines minimum/maximum voltage at which avalanche conduction begins reliably |
| VWM | 66.4 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage |
| VC @ IPPM | 118 V at 3.5 A (10/1000 µs) - clamped voltage during worst-case surge, limiting downstream stress |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability per single transient event |
| IR @ VWM | <1 µA - ultra-low leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance bias networks |
| TJ Range | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| Package | DO-214AC (SMA) - industry-standard SMT footprint compatible with JEDEC MS-013AC |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) package: molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads, cathode band marking polarity, weight ≈ 0.060 g, UL 94V-0 rated compound, J-STD-002 solderable terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path) in unidirectional TVS configuration |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased clamping terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 48 V rail); conducts avalanche current when VLINE > VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and low long-term drift over thermal and operational life |
| Clamping ratio (VC/VBR) | ~1.3–1.4 - tight ratio enables predictable protection margin without overdesign |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | No floor-life limitation or bake requirement prior to reflow, simplifying SMT production |
| ISO 7637-2 compliance | Validated against all five standard vehicle electrical disturbance waveforms (Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b) |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial DC/DC Converter Input |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ80A | DO-214AA (SMB) package, 80 V VWM, 125 V VC @ 3.2 A, same 400 W rating | Larger footprint; higher thermal mass but lower board density | Select SMBJ80A if PCB layout accommodates SMB and higher clamping voltage is acceptable |
| 1.5SMC82A | DO-214AB (SMC) package, 82 V VWM, 135 V VC @ 2.9 A, 1500 W rating | Higher power rating but larger size and higher clamping voltage | Choose 1.5SMC82A only when system requires >400 W single-pulse handling and space permits SMC |
Compared with SMBJ80A and 1.5SMC82A, the P4SMA82H offers optimal balance of compact DO-214AC footprint, precise 66.4 V stand-off, and 118 V clamping-critical for space-constrained automotive and industrial modules where layout density and voltage margin are tightly coupled.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of the P4SMA82H?
The P4SMA82H is a unidirectional TVS diode, with cathode marked by a band on the DO-214AC package. It conducts in reverse bias above its breakdown voltage and blocks forward current up to 3.5 V. This polarity is confirmed in the "Polarity: As marked" mechanical specification and applies exclusively to the 'H' suffix variant-not the 'AH' version, which is bidirectional.
Does the P4SMA82H meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the P4SMA82H is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly tested to meet ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b requirements. Its glass-passivated junction, JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and moisture sensitivity level 1 rating further validate its suitability for automotive under-hood and body-control module applications.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P4SMA82H under standard test conditions?
The P4SMA82H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 118 V at 3.5 A peak pulse current using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and appears in the Electrical Specifications table on page 3 of the official datasheet revision A2102.
Can the P4SMA82H be used in bidirectional configurations?
No-the P4SMA82H is strictly unidirectional. For bidirectional operation, Taiwan Semiconductor specifies the P4SMA82AH variant (marked CTJ), which features symmetrical breakdown in both directions. Using P4SMA82H in bidirectional circuits risks asymmetric clamping and potential failure during positive-going transients.
What is the lead finish and solderability specification for the P4SMA82H?
The P4SMA82H uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 for solderability, and its molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating. The device is rated MSL Level 1, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions and placed directly into reflow without baking.
