Product details
Overview
SMP28-M3/84A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount TransZORB® transient voltage suppressor in DO-220AA (SMP) package, with 28 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 31.1–34.4 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 8.8 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 45.4 V clamping voltage (VC). It protects MOSFETs and signal lines in industrial sensor units against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMP28-M3/84A datasheet, SMP28-M3/84A pinout, SMP28-M3/84A application, or SMP28-M3/84A equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 1.0 mm profile height, MSL Level 1 rating, 260 °C lead-free reflow compatibility, and 150 °C maximum junction temperature.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode for transient overvoltage protection, leveraging silicon p-n junction clamping behavior under surge conditions. Its 45.4 V clamping voltage at 8.8 A ensures robust suppression of 10/1000 μs surges while limiting downstream voltage stress.
Thermal performance is defined by 50 °C/W junction-to-lead and 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, enabling reliable operation on standard 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal. The DO-220AA package supports automated placement and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 28 V - Maximum reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC/AC signal line operating margin |
| VBR min/max | 31.1 V / 34.4 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 1 mA test current; ensures consistent turn-on threshold |
| VC @ IPPM | 45.4 V - Clamped voltage during 8.8 A 10/1000 μs surge; determines protected circuit's worst-case overvoltage exposure |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; defines energy absorption capacity for standardized surge waveforms |
| IFSM | 40 A - Non-repetitive forward surge current rating; supports single-event inrush or fault current tolerance |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; sets upper thermal limit for continuous operation and derating curves |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMP28A-M3/84A | Identical electrical specs and package; same marking code "CG" per datasheet Table 1; SMP28-M3/84A is documented variant of SMP28A-M3/84A with identical VWM/VBR/VC/IPPM ratings | No functional difference; both rated for 28 V stand-off and 400 W pulse power in DO-220AA | Select SMP28-M3/84A when ordering via 7″ tape-and-reel (84A code); verify reel packaging matches production line requirements |
| SMBJ28A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 2.3 mm height vs. 1.0 mm; 400 W rating same, but higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 35°C/W vs. 250°C/W) and larger footprint | Less suitable for ultra-thin designs; requires larger PCB pad area and may not fit automated placement constraints of compact modules | Choose SMBJ28A only if legacy layout uses SMB footprint or higher surge repetition rate demands better thermal mass |
Compared with SMP28A-M3/84A, SMP28-M3/84A offers identical protection performance in the same DO-220AA package, while SMBJ28A trades profile and placement compatibility for marginally improved thermal dissipation in a larger, taller case-making SMP28-M3/84A optimal for space-constrained, high-density industrial and telecom PCBs.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMP28-M3/84A at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMP28-M3/84A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 45.4 V at its peak pulse current (IPPM) of 8.8 A under a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per standard test conditions defined in ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88481, page 2. The SMP28-M3/84A maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is SMP28-M3/84A compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, SMP28-M3/84A is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C, meeting J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 requirements. Its matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. The SMP28-M3/84A's M3 suffix confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction suitable for modern SMT lines.
What does the "84A" in SMP28-M3/84A indicate?
The "84A" in SMP28-M3/84A is the preferred package code denoting 7-inch diameter plastic tape-and-reel packaging with a base quantity of 3000 units per reel. This delivery mode is optimized for high-speed pick-and-place equipment. The SMP28-M3/84A ordering code explicitly references this reel format in Vishay's official ordering information table on page 2 of document 88481.
How does SMP28-M3/84A differ from SMP28A-M3/84A?
SMP28-M3/84A and SMP28A-M3/84A share identical electrical specifications-including VWM = 28 V, VBR = 31.1–34.4 V, VC = 45.4 V, and PPPM = 400 W-and use the same DO-220AA package and M3/84A reel coding. Per Vishay's datasheet 88481, SMP28-M3/84A is a documented variant of SMP28A-M3/84A with no functional distinction; both carry marking code "CG" and meet identical reliability and environmental standards.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SMP28-M3/84A?
The SMP28-M3/84A has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +150 °C, as specified in the "Maximum Ratings" table on page 1 of Vishay document 88481. This rating applies across its full operating range and governs thermal derating above TA = 25 °C per the pulse derating curve in Figure 2. The SMP28-M3/84A's RθJL = 50 °C/W supports effective heat transfer to PCB copper pads.
