Product details
Overview
TPSMA39AHM3_B/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 39 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 37.1–41.0 V at 1 mA), 53.9 V clamping voltage (VC) at 7.4 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It operates up to +185 °C junction temperature and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive electronics protection.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMA39AHM3_B/I datasheet, TPSMA39AHM3_B/I pinout, TPSMA39AHM3_B/I application, or TPSMA39AHM3_B/I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal limits, mechanical package data, and automotive-grade reliability context essential for ESD/surge protection design in sensor interfaces and power rails.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology with optimized junction passivation for stable clamping under repetitive surge stress. Its unidirectional polarity enables DC-biased line protection, and its 185 °C maximum junction temperature supports operation in high-temperature engine bay or powertrain modules.
The device meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C lead-free reflow compatibility and features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. The cathode is marked by a color band on the SMA body.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ39AHE3_A/H | Same VBR range (37.1–41.0 V), but SMB (DO-214AA) package - 20 % larger footprint, 1.5× higher thermal mass | Better suited for manual repair or high-power dissipation scenarios where PCB space allows larger outline | Select if thermal cycling robustness or hand-soldering tolerance is prioritized over miniaturization |
| 1.5SMC39A | Same electrical specs but SMC (DO-214AB) package - 30 % larger than SMA, higher PPPM (1500 W), non-AEC-Q101 | Targeted at industrial/commercial equipment where automotive qualification is unnecessary | Choose when higher surge margin is needed and AEC-Q101 compliance is not mandated |
Compared with SMBJ39AHE3_A/H and 1.5SMC39A, TPSMA39AHM3_B/I offers the smallest footprint among 39 V TVS diodes with AEC-Q101 qualification, enabling dense routing in automotive ADAS camera modules and compact industrial controllers without sacrificing reliability.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TPSMA39AHM3_B/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMA39AHM3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 53.9 V at 7.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value ensures protected circuitry remains within safe overvoltage limits during surge events. The clamping performance is validated per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and confirmed in Vishay's datasheet Document Number 88405, page 2.
Is the TPSMA39AHM3_B/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMA39AHM3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation up to +185 °C junction temperature, making it suitable for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces. Its halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and MSL Level 1 rating further support automotive manufacturing requirements.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in TPSMA39AHM3_B/I?
The "HM3" suffix in TPSMA39AHM3_B/I denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101 qualified construction. The "B" indicates revision level, and "I" specifies packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with 7500 units per reel - distinct from "H"-coded 7-inch reels with 1800 units.
How does the TPSMA39AHM3_B/I differ from the HE3 version?
The TPSMA39AHM3_B/I differs from the HE3 version in material composition: HM3 is halogen-free and meets stricter environmental standards, while HE3 is RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free. Both are AEC-Q101 qualified and share identical electrical and thermal specifications, including VBR, VC, and PPPM.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of the TPSMA39AHM3_B/I at its stand-off voltage?
The TPSMA39AHM3_B/I exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 µA at its stand-off voltage (VWM = 33.3 V) and ambient temperature (TA = 25 °C). At elevated temperature (TJ = 150 °C), leakage increases to 5.0 µA - a value confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of Vishay's datasheet 88405.
