Product details
Overview
TPSMA33A61HE3J_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 33 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 31.4–34.7 V), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and 185 °C maximum junction temperature - deployed for clamping inductive switching transients on automotive sensor signal lines and power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMA33A61HE3J_B/H datasheet, TPSMA33A61HE3J_B/H pinout, TPSMA33A61HE3J_B/H application, or TPSMA33A61HE3J_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (VC = 45.7 V at IPPM), unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and thermal derating above 25 °C ambient.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to deliver stable clamping under repetitive surge conditions. Its 10/1000 µs waveform rating (400 W) and low incremental surge resistance enable robust protection against lightning-induced surges and inductive load switching events in automotive ECUs.
The device operates across –65 °C to +185 °C, with a temperature coefficient of VBR = +0.089 %/°C, and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (peak reflow = 260 °C). It is RoHS-compliant and qualified to AEC-Q101 when ordered with HE3 suffix.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 31.4 V / 33.0 V / 34.7 V - ensures reliable breakdown initiation within defined tolerance band at 1 mA test current |
| VWM | 28.2 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 45.7 V - clamping voltage during 8.8 A peak pulse (10/1000 µs), limiting downstream IC stress |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability under standardized surge waveform |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments without thermal shutdown |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - protects only against positive transients relative to cathode; requires correct orientation in circuit |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ33A | Same SMA package, 33 V VBR, but lower PPPM = 400 W (same rating), non-AEC-Q101 qualified, higher VC = 53.3 V | Not suitable for automotive AEC-Q101-mandated designs; acceptable for industrial/commercial use where qualification is not required | Select SMAJ33A only if AEC-Q101 is unnecessary and higher clamping voltage is tolerable |
| SMCJ33A | Larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same VBR/VC, higher PPPM = 1500 W, same AEC-Q101 option available (HE3) | Requires PCB layout change due to larger footprint; used where higher single-pulse energy absorption is needed | Choose SMCJ33A when surge threat level exceeds 400 W or when thermal mass must be increased for repeated events |
Compared with SMAJ33A and SMCJ33A, the TPSMA33A61HE3J_B/H provides AEC-Q101 qualification in the compact SMA footprint while maintaining tight VC = 45.7 V - making it optimal for space-constrained automotive modules where both reliability and clamping precision are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for TPSMA33A61HE3J_B/H?
The TPSMA33A61HE3J_B/H has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 31.4 V to 34.7 V at 1.0 mA test current, with a nominal value of 33.0 V. This range is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and reflects manufacturing tolerance at 25 °C ambient; actual VBR shifts predictably with temperature using αT = +0.089 %/°C.
Is TPSMA33A61HE3J_B/H AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, TPSMA33A61HE3J_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified. The "HE3" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified construction. Qualification covers temperature cycling, humidity testing, and surge endurance per the AEC-Q101 standard, confirming suitability for automotive under-hood and cabin applications.
What is the clamping voltage of TPSMA33A61HE3J_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The clamping voltage (VC) of TPSMA33A61HE3J_B/H is 45.7 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 8.8 A, tested with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the maximum voltage seen by downstream circuitry during a worst-case surge event and is critical for ensuring protected ICs remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Does TPSMA33A61HE3J_B/H have bidirectional polarity?
No, TPSMA33A61HE3J_B/H is unidirectional only. It conducts and clamps only when the cathode is more positive than the anode - i.e., during positive transients on the anode side. For bidirectional protection, two devices in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., TPSMA33CA) would be required.
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for TPSMA33A61HE3J_B/H?
The maximum operating junction temperature (TJ) for TPSMA33A61HE3J_B/H is +185 °C. This rating enables reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as automotive engine compartments and industrial motor drives, and supports extended lifetime under thermal stress when mounted per recommended pad layout.
