Product details
Overview
TA6F47AHM3_A/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) in SlimSMA (DO-221AC) package, rated for 47 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 44.7–49.4 V at 1 mA), 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and 185 °C maximum junction temperature. It delivers clamping voltage of 64.8 V at 9.3 A peak pulse current and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive sensor line protection.
For engineers reviewing the TA6F47AHM3_A/I datasheet, TA6F47AHM3_A/I pinout, TA6F47AHM3_A/I application, or TA6F47AHM3_A/I equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability transient suppression in space-constrained automotive ECUs, where low-profile mounting, ESD immunity up to 30 kV (IEC 61000-4-2), and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology with junction passivation optimized for stable clamping under repetitive surge stress. Its unidirectional configuration enables precise reverse-biased overvoltage clamping on DC power rails and signal lines without forward conduction interference.
The SlimSMA package provides thermal resistance RθJA ≤ 150 °C/W and RθJM ≤ 15 °C/W, supporting operation up to TJ = 185 °C. Its 0.95 mm typical height and matte tin-plated terminals meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD22-B102 lead finish standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 44.7 / 47.0 / 49.4 V at 1 mA - defines minimum voltage at which clamping initiates; ensures reliable turn-on before downstream IC damage |
| VWM | 40.2 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage; sets safe DC bias margin below breakdown |
| VC @ IPPM | 64.8 V at 9.3 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines worst-case stress on protected circuit |
| PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 µs) - peak surge energy handling capacity; validates robustness against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients |
| TJ max | 185 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive environments without derating penalties above 150 °C ambient |
| ESD Rating | 30 kV contact/air per IEC 61000-4-2 - eliminates need for external ESD diodes in sensor interface designs |
| MSL Level | Level 1 (260 °C peak) - supports standard lead-free reflow without moisture sensitivity concerns or baking |
Pinout & Package

| Unidirectional clamping | Prevents forward conduction during normal operation while delivering fast (<1 ns) response to negative transients |
Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | CAN Bus Transient Suppression |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog output sensors (e.g., pressure, temperature) in engine bay modules exposed to load dump and inductive switching noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between sensor VSUPPLY and GND to clamp positive-going transients before they reach the sensor ASIC. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity under ISO 16750-2 Load Dump (12 V system: +35 V/1 s) and prevents latch-up in 5 V sensor regulators. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding CAN_H and CAN_L lines in vehicle gateway ECUs subjected to ESD and coupled surges from nearby high-current actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One TA6F47AHM3_A/I per line (CAN_H to GND, CAN_L to GND) providing bidirectional protection via paired unidirectional devices. Use Value: Limits clamped voltage to ≤64.8 V, preserving common-mode range of ISO 11898-2 transceivers and avoiding bus shutdown. |
| Body Control Module Power Rail | LIN Bus Node Protection |
Use Scenario: Securing 12 V input rail of BCMs against jump-start spikes and alternator ripple-induced transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary TVS on main power entry point, upstream of DC/DC converter input filter. Use Value: Absorbs 600 W surges without degradation, enabling compliance with ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (75 V/400 ms) test conditions. |
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN slave nodes (e.g., door modules, seat controllers) from ESD events during assembly and service. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS connected between LIN bus and chassis ground, leveraging low capacitance (<100 pF) to avoid signal edge distortion. Use Value: Withstands 30 kV contact discharge while adding <1.5 pF parasitic capacitance-no LIN timing budget impact at 19.2 kbps. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ47A-E3/5A (Vishay) | Same VBR (44.7–49.4 V), but SMA package (DO-214AC); RθJA = 195 °C/W vs. 150 °C/W; no AEC-Q101 certification | Not qualified for automotive under-hood use; suitable for industrial power supplies only | Select SMAJ47A-E3/5A only if AEC-Q101 is not required and board space allows larger 4.5 × 2.7 mm footprint |
| 1.5SMC47A (ON Semiconductor) | Identical VBR and PPPM, but SMC package (DO-214AB); height 2.3 mm vs. 0.95 mm; MSL Level 1, but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Larger profile limits use in thin modules; higher thermal resistance reduces sustained surge capability at elevated ambient | Choose 1.5SMC47A only for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where 2.3 mm height is acceptable |
Compared with SMAJ47A-E3/5A and 1.5SMC47A, TA6F47AHM3_A/I offers superior thermal performance (RθJM ≤ 15 °C/W), guaranteed AEC-Q101 qualification, and 55% lower profile-making it the only option validated for high-density, high-temperature automotive sensor nodes requiring zero layout redesign.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for TA6F47AHM3_A/I?
The TA6F47AHM3_A/I has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 44.7 V to 49.4 V at 1 mA test current, with a nominal value of 47.0 V. This range is measured per JEDEC JESD22-A114 and guarantees turn-on behavior across manufacturing lot and temperature extremes, ensuring consistent protection threshold in automotive applications.
Is TA6F47AHM3_A/I compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, TA6F47AHM3_A/I 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, enabling direct integration into standard SnAgCu lead-free assembly lines without pre-baking or special handling.
Does TA6F47AHM3_A/I provide bidirectional transient protection?
No, TA6F47AHM3_A/I is a unidirectional TVS diode. It clamps only reverse-polarity transients (cathode-to-anode voltage exceeding VBR). For bidirectional protection, two TA6F47AHM3_A/I devices must be used in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional part like TA6F47CA should be selected.
What is the clamping voltage of TA6F47AHM3_A/I at its rated peak pulse current?
At its rated peak pulse current of 9.3 A (10/1000 µs waveform), TA6F47AHM3_A/I clamps to a maximum voltage of 64.8 V. This value is guaranteed per datasheet Table 1 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events.
How does the SlimSMA package of TA6F47AHM3_A/I improve thermal performance over standard SMA?
The SlimSMA (DO-221AC) package of TA6F47AHM3_A/I achieves RθJM ≤ 15 °C/W-over 30% lower than standard SMA (DO-214AC)-due to optimized die attach and thermal pad geometry. This enables sustained power dissipation at elevated ambient temperatures without exceeding the 185 °C TJ limit.
