Product details
Overview
TPSMA39AHE3/5AT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) in SMA (DO-214AC) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 39.0 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR), 53.9 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 7.4 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 185 °C max junction temperature, and AEC-Q101 qualification - used in automotive sensor protection and industrial power rail surge suppression.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMA39AHE3/5AT datasheet, TPSMA39AHE3/5AT pinout, TPSMA39AHE3/5AT application, or TPSMA39AHE3/5AT equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 33.3 V stand-off voltage (VWM), low 1.0 µA reverse leakage at VWM, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and compatibility with reflow soldering up to 260 °C peak.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to deliver stable clamping under repetitive surge conditions. Its 185 °C junction rating enables operation in high-temperature automotive engine compartments and industrial motor drives without derating penalties above 125 °C.
The device exhibits fast response time (<1 ps) and low incremental surge resistance, ensuring effective suppression of ESD and lightning-induced transients. It meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements for safety-critical PCB layouts.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ39A | Same VBR (39 V), but lower PPPM = 400 W (same), higher VC = 60.0 V, non-AEC-Q101 rated | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for commercial/industrial only | Select when AEC-Q101 compliance is not required and cost is prioritized over automotive traceability |
| SMCJ39A | Same VBR/VC, but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, higher IFSM = 100 A vs. 40 A, same PPPM | Requires larger PCB footprint; better for high-repetition surge duty cycles | Select when board space allows and higher surge repetition rate (>0.01% duty cycle) is needed |
Compared with SMAJ39A and SMCJ39A, the TPSMA39AHE3/5AT uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, MSL Level 1, and DO-214AC form factor - making it optimal for space-constrained automotive modules where qualification and reflow compatibility are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TPSMA39AHE3/5AT at its rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMA39AHE3/5AT has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 53.9 V at 7.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value ensures protected circuits remain below critical voltage thresholds during standardized surge events. The TPSMA39AHE3/5AT achieves this clamping performance while maintaining low dynamic impedance and minimal let-through energy to downstream ICs.
Is the TPSMA39AHE3/5AT qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMA39AHE3/5AT is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HE3", which denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified construction. This qualification covers stress tests including HTGB, H3TRB, and temperature cycling - validating the TPSMA39AHE3/5AT for use in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS modules.
What is the stand-off voltage (VWM) of the TPSMA39AHE3/5AT, and why does it matter?
The TPSMA39AHE3/5AT has a stand-off voltage (VWM) of 33.3 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this reverse voltage level with leakage <1.0 µA. This parameter ensures the TPSMA39AHE3/5AT does not interfere with normal 24 V or 32 V system operation while remaining ready to clamp transients exceeding that threshold - critical for reliable power rail protection.
Does the TPSMA39AHE3/5AT require special handling during PCB assembly?
No - the TPSMA39AHE3/5AT is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C, compatible with standard lead-free SMT processes. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and the TPSMA39AHE3/5AT requires no baking or dry-pack prior to assembly.
How does the TPSMA39AHE3/5AT differ from the TPSMA39AHE3/B?
The TPSMA39AHE3/5AT uses tape-and-reel packaging with 7" diameter reels (1800 pcs/reel), whereas TPSMA39AHE3/B denotes a different reel size or carrier specification - typically 13" reels (7500 pcs). Both share identical electrical specs, AEC-Q101 qualification, and DO-214AC package; only packaging and quantity differ. The TPSMA39AHE3/5AT is optimized for mid-volume automated placement lines.
