Product details
Overview
SMP11A-M3/84A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount TransZORB® transient voltage suppressor in the SMP (DO-220AA) package, featuring a 11 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 12.2–13.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 22 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 18.2 V clamping voltage (VC) at IPPM - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients in industrial and telecom systems.
For engineers reviewing the SMP11A-M3/84A datasheet, SMP11A-M3/84A pinout, SMP11A-M3/84A application, or SMP11A-M3/84A equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 μs surge, unidirectional polarity for DC-biased lines, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and DO-220AA footprint suitability for high-density automated PCB assembly.
Technical Context
The SMP11A-M3/84A operates as a silicon avalanche diode designed for fast-response transient suppression on DC power rails and low-voltage signal paths. Its 1.0 mm profile and matte tin-plated leads support J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
It delivers 400 W peak pulse power per 10/1000 μs waveform with 18.2 V clamping at 22 A, while maintaining ≤1.0 μA reverse leakage at 11 V and a maximum junction temperature of +150 °C - enabling robust protection in space-constrained consumer, industrial, and telecom end equipment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 11 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR min/max | 12.2 V / 13.5 V - guaranteed avalanche breakdown range at 1.0 mA test current |
| VC @ IPPM | 18.2 V - clamped voltage during 22 A 10/1000 μs surge, defining worst-case overvoltage seen by protected circuit |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak transient energy handling capability under standard 10/1000 μs waveform |
| IFSM | 40 A - non-repetitive forward surge rating for 10 ms half-sine, supporting inrush tolerance |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature, enabling operation in hot industrial environments |
| RθJA | 250 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient, requiring adequate copper pad area (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm per terminal) |
Pinout & Package

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance unidirectional TVS placed directly at connector interface, shunting fast transients to ground. Use Value: Achieves sub-100 ns response with <1.0 μA leakage at 11 V, avoiding signal distortion in mV-level sensor outputs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMP11A-M3/85A | Identical electrical specs; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (10,000 pcs vs. 3,000 pcs on 7″ reel) | No functional difference; selected for higher-volume production runs | Choose SMP11A-M3/84A for prototyping and medium-batch builds where 7″ reels align with SMT feeder constraints |
| SMAJ11A | Same VWM (11 V) and VC (18.2 V), but lower PPPM (400 W vs. SMAJ11A's 400 W), larger SMA (DO-214AC) package (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm × 2.2 mm) | Less suitable for ultra-thin designs; requires more PCB area and has higher RθJA (~350 °C/W) | Select SMP11A-M3/84A when board height <1.1 mm or thermal performance with minimal copper is critical |
Compared with SMP11A-M3/85A, the SMP11A-M3/84A offers identical protection performance in a smaller reel format ideal for pilot runs; versus SMAJ11A, it delivers equal clamping with 30% lower profile and 30% better thermal resistance via optimized DO-220AA layout and copper pad coupling.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SMP11A-M3/84A under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The SMP11A-M3/84A clamps to a maximum of 18.2 V at its rated peak pulse current of 22 A under a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured with the device mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events. The SMP11A-M3/84A maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is the SMP11A-M3/84A suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the SMP11A-M3/84A supports automotive use cases including body control modules and LIN bus protection, meeting MSL Level 1 reflow (260 °C peak) and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. While not AEC-Q200 qualified out-of-box, its 150 °C TJ max, 40 A IFSM, and robust DO-220AA construction make it a common choice for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems. Designers should validate SMP11A-M3/84A performance under ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a in their specific layout.
What does the "M3" suffix indicate in SMP11A-M3/84A?
The "M3" suffix in SMP11A-M3/84A denotes Vishay's halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, industrial-grade construction with matte tin-plated terminals that pass JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing. It also confirms compliance with UL 94 V-0 flammability standards for the molding compound. This suffix distinguishes the SMP11A-M3/84A from legacy non-halogen-free variants and ensures long-term reliability in high-reliability industrial deployments.
How does the SMP11A-M3/84A compare to SMAJ11A in terms of PCB footprint?
The SMP11A-M3/84A uses the DO-220AA (SMP) package measuring 3.61 mm × 2.18 mm, while the SMAJ11A uses the larger DO-214AC (SMA) package at 4.5 mm × 2.7 mm - a 30% reduction in board area. Additionally, the SMP11A-M3/84A is only 1.0 mm tall versus 2.2 mm for SMAJ11A, making it viable for ultra-thin assemblies where height clearance is constrained. Both share identical VWM and VC ratings.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SMP11A-M3/84A at its stand-off voltage?
The SMP11A-M3/84A exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 μA at its 11 V stand-off voltage (VWM) and 25 °C ambient temperature. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss and avoids interference with high-impedance sensor circuits or battery-powered IoT nodes where quiescent current budget is tightly constrained. The SMP11A-M3/84A maintains this spec across its full operating temperature range.
