Product details
Overview
SMPC85ANHM3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the TRANSZORB® family, designed for high-energy surge protection on power and signal lines. It features a 85 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 94.4–104 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 1500 W peak pulse power (PPPM), and clamps to 137 V at 10.9 A IPPM - deployed in automotive sensor interfaces and industrial power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the SMPC85ANHM3/I datasheet, SMPC85ANHM3/I pinout, SMPC85ANHM3/I application, or SMPC85ANHM3/I equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, TO-277A (SMPC) package compatibility, unidirectional clamping behavior, thermal resistance (RθJA ≤ 100 °C/W), and compliance with J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 reflow.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon avalanche diode optimized for fast response (< 1 ns) to transient overvoltages induced by inductive switching or ESD events. Its unidirectional polarity requires cathode-band orientation toward the protected line's positive rail, with clamping action triggered only when reverse-biased beyond VBR.
Thermal performance is defined for FR4 PCB mounting (2 oz copper, standard footprint), where junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is rated up to 100 °C/W and junction-to-mount resistance is ≤ 3 °C/W - enabling reliable operation up to TJ = 150 °C under repetitive surge conditions.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CAN/LIN bus transceivers and analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) from load dump and inductive kickback in 12 V vehicle systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between sensor signal line and ground, clamping transients before they reach sensitive input circuitry. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity under ISO 16750-2 load dump (up to 120 V) while surviving >1000 surges per AEC-Q101 stress testing. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding DC-DC converter inputs and microcontroller power rails in factory automation controllers exposed to motor drive noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary surge suppression device on 24 V input stage, absorbing energy from relay coil flyback and contact arcing. Use Value: Limits clamped voltage to 137 V at 10.9 A, preventing latch-up or permanent damage to downstream LDOs and PMICs. |
| Telecom Interface Protection | Consumer Device USB/Power Port |
Use Scenario: Shielding Ethernet PHY interface circuits and PoE injectors from lightning-induced surges and EFT bursts in outdoor telecom cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end unidirectional TVS on data line pair, coordinated with common-mode chokes and secondary protection.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS on VBUS line, activated only during overvoltage fault - no leakage impact during normal 5–20 V operation. Use Value: 1.0 μA max IR at 85 V ensures zero standby current drain, preserving battery life in always-on devices. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ85A-E3/5A | Same VWM (85 V) and PPPM (1500 W), but SMA package (higher RθJA ≈ 150 °C/W); not AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited to commercial/industrial use; unsuitable for automotive due to lack of qualification and lower thermal robustness | Select if cost-sensitive and automotive qualification is unnecessary; verify PCB thermal relief for sustained surge duty. |
| 1.5KE85A | Through-hole DO-201 package; same electrical specs but larger footprint and manual assembly required; no AEC-Q101 rating | Used in legacy industrial power supplies where automated SMT is unavailable or board real estate is unconstrained | Choose only for through-hole prototyping or repair; avoid for new automotive or high-volume SMT designs. |
Compared with SMAJ85A-E3/5A and 1.5KE85A, SMPC85ANHM3/I offers superior thermal performance in SMT layout, guaranteed AEC-Q101 compliance, and optimized low-profile packaging - making it the preferred choice for next-generation automotive and space-limited industrial electronics.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for SMPC85ANHM3/I?
The SMPC85ANHM3/I has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 94.4 V to 104 V at 1 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This tolerance ensures consistent clamping onset across production lots and supports robust design margining against system-level transients like ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a.
Is SMPC85ANHM3/I compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, SMPC85ANHM3/I meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 and is rated for maximum peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. Its matte tin-plated terminals are fully compatible with standard lead-free SAC305 solder profiles and pass JESD 22-B102 solderability testing.
Does SMPC85ANHM3/I require heatsinking in typical applications?
No dedicated heatsink is required for SMPC85ANHM3/I in single-event surge applications. Its RθJM ≤ 3 °C/W and low-profile SMPC package enable sufficient heat dissipation via PCB copper when mounted on 2 oz FR4 with standard footprint - verified per JEDEC 51-14 TDIM methodology.
How does the dual-anode structure of SMPC85ANHM3/I improve performance?
The dual-anode construction in SMPC85ANHM3/I provides symmetrical current sharing during high-current surges, reducing localized heating and improving surge lifetime. This architecture also lowers incremental surge resistance compared to single-anode equivalents, resulting in tighter clamping voltage control at high IPPM.
Can SMPC85ANHM3/I be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - SMPC85ANHM3/I is strictly unidirectional. Its internal structure and cathode-band marking indicate polarity-dependent operation. For bidirectional protection, two SMPC85ANHM3/I devices must be connected in series opposition, or a dedicated bidirectional part (e.g., SMPC85CA) should be selected.
