Product details
Overview
TPSMA39AHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for clamping inductive switching and lightning-induced transients on power rails and signal lines. It features a 39.0 V 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 maximum junction temperature, and SMA (DO-214AC) package - used in automotive power supply protection and industrial sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMA39AHE3_B/H datasheet, TPSMA39AHE3_B/H pinout, TPSMA39AHE3_B/H application, or TPSMA39AHE3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification status, clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, thermal derating above 25 °C, and compatibility with standard SMA PCB footprints.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds its 39.0 V nominal breakdown threshold. Its passivated anisotropic rectifier technology ensures stable VBR drift (0.091 %/°C) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling consistent clamping across temperature.
Designed for high-reliability environments, the TPSMA39AHE3_B/H supports continuous operation up to 185 °C junction temperature and meets MSL Level 1 reflow requirements (260 °C peak). It is RoHS-compliant, halogen-free optional (HM3 suffix), and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 37.1 V / 39.0 V / 41.0 V - defines precise clamping onset voltage at 1 mA test current |
| VWM | 33.3 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage rises significantly |
| VC @ IPPM | 53.9 V at 7.4 A - peak clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting stress on downstream ICs |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability under standardized transient waveform |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive or high-temperature industrial enclosures |
| IR @ VWM | 1.0 µA - ultra-low reverse leakage preserves standby power integrity in battery-powered systems |
| Package | SMA (DO-214AC) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad requirement |
Pinout & Package
The TPSMA39AHE3_B/H is housed in an SMA (DO-214AC) plastic package with two terminals: cathode (marked by color band) and anode. The device is unidirectional and must be oriented with cathode toward the higher-potential side of the protected line.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient conduction path | Connects to the line being protected; conducts surge current to ground when VREV > VBR |

| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Allows unlimited floor life and single-reflow processing at 260 °C peak without preconditioning |
| 400 W 10/1000 µs pulse rating | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 3a/b, and IEC 61000-4-5 surge waveforms in automotive designs |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V/24 V power inputs in body control modules against load dump and inductive switching transients.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ39A | Same VBR (39 V), but SMB package (DO-214AA); 600 W PPPM; larger footprint and higher thermal mass | Better suited for higher-energy transients where board space allows; not drop-in compatible due to different pad layout | Select SMBJ39A if surge energy exceeds 400 W or thermal dissipation margin is critical |
| SMCJ39A | Same VBR, SMC package (DO-214AB); 1500 W PPPM; 2× larger footprint than SMA | Used in heavy-duty industrial power supplies requiring multi-kW surge handling; incompatible with SMA land pattern | Choose SMCJ39A for applications demanding >1 kW peak pulse capability and higher IFSM (100 A) |
Compared with SMBJ39A and SMCJ39A, the TPSMA39AHE3_B/H offers optimal balance of compact size, AEC-Q101 qualification, and 400 W surge rating - making it ideal for space-constrained automotive and industrial PCBs where strict qualification and standardized SMA mounting are required.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for TPSMA39AHE3_B/H?
The TPSMA39AHE3_B/H has a specified breakdown voltage range of 37.1 V (minimum) to 41.0 V (maximum) at 1.0 mA test current, with 39.0 V as the nominal value. This ±5% tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports reliable design margining in automotive and industrial applications where precise overvoltage thresholds are critical.
Is TPSMA39AHE3_B/H suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the TPSMA39AHE3_B/H is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not rated for bidirectional operation. It conducts only during reverse-biased overvoltage events. For bidirectional protection - such as on AC lines or differential data buses - a dedicated bidirectional part like TPSMA39CA must be selected instead.
Does TPSMA39AHE3_B/H meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the TPSMA39AHE3_B/H carries the HE3 suffix, indicating RoHS-compliance and full AEC-Q101 qualification. It has passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and ESD per JESD22-A114, making it approved for use in automotive powertrain, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TPSMA39AHE3_B/H under surge conditions?
The TPSMA39AHE3_B/H exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 53.9 V when subjected to its rated 7.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across temperature and ensures downstream ICs see no more than 53.9 V during worst-case transient events.
Can TPSMA39AHE3_B/H be used in high-humidity or outdoor environments?
Yes - the TPSMA39AHE3_B/H uses UL 94 V-0 rated molding compound and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, providing resistance to moisture ingress and corrosion. Its -65 °C to +185 °C operating range and AEC-Q101 qualification confirm suitability for sealed outdoor enclosures and under-hood automotive locations.
