Product details
Overview
TPSMA24AHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 24 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 22.8–25.2 V at 1 mA), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and 12.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM). It clamps transients to ≤33.2 V at IPPM, operates from −65 °C to +185 °C, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive electronics protection.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMA24AHE3_B/H datasheet, TPSMA24AHE3_B/H pinout, TPSMA24AHE3_B/H application, or TPSMA24AHE3_B/H equivalent, this device is selected for robust overvoltage protection on DC power rails and signal lines where high junction temperature capability (TJ = 185 °C), low clamping voltage, and AEC-Q101 qualification are required.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology with optimized junction passivation for stable performance under high-temperature stress. Its unidirectional polarity enables protection of positive-rail circuits without reverse conduction during normal operation.
The device delivers 400 W peak pulse power per 10/1000 µs waveform with 0.01 % duty cycle, and exhibits very fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance - critical for suppressing ESD and lightning-induced transients before sensitive downstream components are damaged.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 22.8 V / 24.0 V / 25.2 V at 1 mA - defines precise clamping onset threshold for reliable overvoltage detection |
| VWM | 20.5 V - maximum continuous working voltage; ensures no leakage or conduction during normal 24 V rail operation |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤33.2 V at 12.0 A - clamping voltage limits stress on protected ICs or MOSFETs during surge events |
| PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs) - supports high-energy transient suppression without thermal failure under standard test conditions |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive environments and high-power industrial enclosures |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - meets stress testing requirements for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling and HTRB |
| Package | SMA (DO-214AC) - industry-standard SMD outline with 0.208" x 0.157" footprint and matte tin-plated leads |
Pinout & Package
TPSMA24AHE3_B/H is housed in an SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package with cathode indicated by a color band. The device has two terminals: anode and cathode, mounted on PCB copper pads (0.2" × 0.2") per JEDEC standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink node | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when VLINE exceeds VBR |
| Anode | Reference/ground return path | Typically tied to system ground; completes clamping path during overvoltage event |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24A | Same VBR range (22.8–25.2 V) but SMB package (DO-214AA); 600 W PPPM; larger footprint (0.236" × 0.157") | Higher power handling but requires more PCB area; not drop-in compatible due to different pad layout | Select when higher surge margin is needed and board space allows SMB footprint |
| 1.5KE24A | Through-hole DO-201 package; same VBR and PPPM; leaded construction; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not suitable for automated SMT assembly or automotive under-hood use; limited thermal cycling endurance | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or non-automotive prototyping |
Compared with SMBJ24A and 1.5KE24A, the TPSMA24AHE3_B/H offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 qualification, compact SMA footprint, and verified 185 °C operation - making it the preferred choice for new automotive and high-reliability industrial SMT designs requiring validated long-term stability.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for TPSMA24AHE3_B/H?
The TPSMA24AHE3_B/H has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 22.8 V to 25.2 V at 1 mA test current, corresponding to ±5 % tolerance around the nominal 24 V rating. This tight VBR distribution ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports predictable circuit protection design without derating overhead.
Is TPSMA24AHE3_B/H suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, TPSMA24AHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for continuous operation up to +185 °C junction temperature. Its passivated anisotropic rectifier structure, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance make it suitable for engine control units, transmission control modules, and other under-hood automotive systems where thermal and mechanical stress are severe.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TPSMA24AHE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of TPSMA24AHE3_B/H is 33.2 V when subjected to its rated 12.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and guarantees that protected downstream components experience no more than 33.2 V during worst-case surge events.
Does TPSMA24AHE3_B/H have RoHS and halogen-free compliance?
Yes, the HE3 suffix in TPSMA24AHE3_B/H indicates RoHS-compliant construction. While the HE3 variant is RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified, it is not explicitly halogen-free; for halogen-free compliance, the HM3 suffix variant (e.g., TPSMA24AHM3_B/H) must be selected per Vishay's ordering nomenclature.
How does the thermal derating of TPSMA24AHE3_B/H work above 25 °C ambient?
TPSMA24AHE3_B/H peak pulse power (PPPM) is derated linearly above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in the datasheet: at 100 °C ambient, PPPM drops to ~65 % of 400 W (~260 W); at 150 °C, it falls to ~35 % (~140 W). Derating ensures safe operation within the 185 °C maximum junction temperature limit under sustained thermal stress.
