Product details
Overview
TA6F13AHM3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) in SlimSMA (DO-221AC) package, rated for 13.0 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 11.1 V stand-off voltage (VWM), and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs). It delivers 33.0 V clamping voltage at 18.2 A peak pulse current and operates up to +185 °C junction temperature - designed for automotive sensor line protection against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TA6F13AHM3_A/H datasheet, TA6F13AHM3_A/H pinout, TA6F13AHM3_A/H application, or TA6F13AHM3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD rating, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and low-profile 0.95 mm height enabling high-density automated placement on engine control units and ADAS sensor modules.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology with junction passivation optimized for stable clamping under repeated surge stress. Its thermal resistance junction-to-mount (RθJM) is 12–15 °C/W, supporting reliable operation at TJ = 185 °C when mounted per JEDEC 51-14 TDIM test method.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of VBR (+0.072 %/°C), enabling predictable voltage drift across automotive temperature ranges. Clamping performance is validated under non-repetitive 10/1000 μs waveform conditions with derating above TA = 25 °C per Figure 2.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ13A | Same VBR (13.0 V typ), but lower PPPM (400 W), higher VC (21.5 V), and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not suitable for automotive under-hood use; limited to industrial or consumer-grade boards | Select SMAJ13A only if cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements and surge energy remains ≤400 W |
| TPSMF13A | Identical VBR/VWM, same 600 W rating, but larger SMA package (1.6 mm height) and no MSL Level 1 rating | Requires PCB layout revision due to taller profile; not qualified for high-volume SMT reflow with tight thermal profiles | Choose TPSMF13A only when existing SMA footprint must be retained and 0.95 mm height constraint is relaxed |
Compared with SMAJ13A and TPSMF13A, TA6F13AHM3_A/H uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, MSL Level 1, and 0.95 mm height - making it the only option for next-generation compact, high-reliability automotive sensor nodes requiring zero-layout change and full process compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for TA6F13AHM3_A/H?
The TA6F13AHM3_A/H is rated for a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +185 °C. This specification is validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing and enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive applications such as engine control units and transmission control modules where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C. The device maintains specified VBR and leakage performance up to this limit when mounted per recommended pad layout.
Is TA6F13AHM3_A/H compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, TA6F13AHM3_A/H meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. Its matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102 solderability standards, and the molding compound passes UL 94 V-0 flammability testing. The HM3 suffix also confirms compliance with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, ensuring long-term interconnect reliability after reflow.
Does TA6F13AHM3_A/H meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, TA6F13AHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified - a mandatory requirement for discrete semiconductors used in automotive electronic systems. Qualification includes stress tests for high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling (TC), and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing (uHAST), all performed per the AEC-Q101 standard revision applicable at time of release.
What is the clamping voltage of TA6F13AHM3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The TA6F13AHM3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 33.0 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 18.2 A, measured under the standardized 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform. This clamping level ensures protected components - such as 33 V-rated CAN transceivers or 36 V-input DC-DC controllers - remain within their absolute maximum ratings during surge events.
How does the temperature coefficient of VBR affect TA6F13AHM3_A/H performance in automotive applications?
The TA6F13AHM3_A/H has a VBR temperature coefficient (αT) of +0.072 %/°C, meaning its breakdown voltage increases predictably with junction temperature. At TJ = 150 °C, VBR rises ~8.4% above its 25 °C value (to ~14.1 V), ensuring continued overvoltage protection margin even in high-temperature under-hood environments without premature conduction.
