Product details
Overview
TA6L39AHM3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SlimSMAW (DO-221AD) package, designed for clamping inductive switching transients and ESD events. It features 39.0 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR), 33.3 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 53.9 V maximum clamping voltage at 11.1 A peak pulse current, 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive electronics protection.
For engineers reviewing the TA6L39AHM3/H datasheet, TA6L39AHM3/H pinout, TA6L39AHM3/H application, or TA6L39AHM3/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, junction temperature capability up to +185 °C, SlimSMAW mechanical dimensions, and direct alternatives for automotive-grade circuit protection design.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology with optimized junction passivation for high-reliability operation under thermal stress. Its unidirectional configuration provides low-clamping-voltage protection against positive-going transients while maintaining <1.0 µA reverse leakage at VWM and 150 °C junction temperature.
The device operates across -65 °C to +185 °C junction range and exhibits 0.091 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, enabling predictable voltage shift over temperature. Thermal resistance is rated at RθJA = 150 °C/W (JEDEC 51-2A, FR4, 2 oz.) and RθJM = 15 °C/W (JEDEC 51-14 TDIM), supporting high-power transient absorption in compact layouts.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36A-E3/57T | Higher VBR (34.2–37.8 V), lower PPPM (400 W), same DO-214AC package but larger footprint than SlimSMAW | Limited to non-automotive industrial use; not AEC-Q101 qualified; lacks 185 °C rating | Choose when cost is primary constraint and automotive qualification or high-temperature operation is unnecessary |
| TPSMF36A | Same VWM/VBR range, 600 W rating, AEC-Q101 qualified, but in SOD-128 (DO-221AD) - identical package to TA6L39AHM3/H | Direct form-fit replacement with identical mounting and thermal performance; slightly higher VC (56.5 V) | Select when needing second-source availability with no PCB or thermal redesign required |
Compared with SMAJ36A-E3/57T and TPSMF36A, TA6L39AHM3/H offers superior high-temperature capability (185 °C vs. 150 °C), tighter VBR tolerance (±5% vs. ±10%), and halogen-free compliance - critical for next-generation automotive electronics requiring extended lifetime under thermal stress.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of TA6L39AHM3/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The TA6L39AHM3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 53.9 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 11.1 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 3 in the official Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 87415) and ensures downstream components remain within safe operating voltage limits during surge events.
Is TA6L39AHM3/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TA6L39AHM3/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker test requirements. Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature, halogen-free construction, and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility make it suitable for under-hood automotive systems including ECUs, ADAS modules, and electric power steering controllers.
What package type does TA6L39AHM3/H use, and what are its key mechanical advantages?
TA6L39AHM3/H uses the SlimSMAW (DO-221AD) package - a low-profile surface-mount outline with 0.118" (3.00 mm) maximum height. Its advantages include reduced PCB footprint versus SMA/SMB, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and optimized thermal resistance (RθJM = 15 °C/W) for high-power transient dissipation.
How does the temperature coefficient affect TA6L39AHM3/H's breakdown voltage over temperature?
The TA6L39AHM3/H has a typical temperature coefficient (αT) of 0.091 %/°C for VBR. Using the formula VBR at TJ = VBR at 25 °C × (1 + αT × (TJ − 25)), VBR increases by ~1.4 V at 150 °C ambient, ensuring consistent clamping margin across the full -65 °C to +185 °C operating range.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of TA6L39AHM3/H at its stand-off voltage?
At its stand-off voltage (VWM) of 33.3 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C, TA6L39AHM3/H exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 µA. At elevated junction temperature (150 °C), leakage remains ≤5.0 µA - a critical parameter for preserving signal integrity in low-power sensor interfaces and always-on automotive circuits.
