Product details
Overview
TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for clamping inductive switching surges and lightning-induced transients on power rails and signal lines. It features a 24.0 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR), 20.5 V maximum standoff voltage (VWM), 33.2 V clamping voltage at 18.1 A peak pulse current, 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and operates up to +185 °C junction temperature - deployed in automotive power supply protection and industrial sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT datasheet, TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT pinout, TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT application, or TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SMB (DO-214AA) package mapping, cathode/anode terminal roles, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and direct alternative part comparisons grounded in Vishay's official specifications.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to deliver stable clamping under high-temperature stress (TJ = 185 °C), with low incremental surge resistance and sub-nanosecond response time. Its unidirectional polarity and 10/1000 µs waveform-rated 600 W peak pulse power enable robust protection of downstream MOSFETs and ICs against repetitive transients in automotive ECUs and industrial motor drives.
The device meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (260 °C peak reflow), features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and carries the HE3 suffix indicating RoHS compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification - confirmed in Vishay Document #88406, Rev. 23-Jan-2024.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 22.8 V / 24.0 V / 25.2 V - ensures reliable conduction onset above system operating voltage while avoiding false triggering |
| VWM | 20.5 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA, compatible with 24 V nominal systems |
| VC @ IPPM | 33.2 V - clamped voltage during 18.1 A transient, limiting stress on protected 36 V-rated components |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling capability under standard 10/1000 µs waveform, sufficient for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a |
| IFSM | 75 A - surge current rating for 8.3 ms half-sine wave, supporting high-energy inductive kickback suppression |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments without derating |

Pinout & Package
TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT is housed in the SMB (DO-214AA) package: a molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 rated compound, and cathode indicated by a color band. Dimensions are 0.220" × 0.130" (5.59 mm × 3.30 mm), with recommended 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink node | Connected to protected circuit's positive rail; conducts surge current to ground when VIN exceeds VBR |
| Anode | Reference/ground return path | Typically tied to system ground plane; completes clamping loop with minimal inductance for fast response |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD per JESD22-A114 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A (onsemi) | Same VBR (24.0 V typ.), but lower PPPM = 400 W; SMB package; no AEC-Q101 qualification stated in datasheet Rev. 12 (2023) | Limited to non-automotive industrial use where 600 W surge margin is not required | Select SMAJ24A only if cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and 50 % peak power headroom. |
| SMCJ24A (Littelfuse) | Higher PPPM = 1500 W, same VBR/VC, but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package (0.285" × 0.175") requiring PCB redesign | Suitable for higher-energy surge environments (e.g., EV charging station front-ends), but incompatible with SMB footprints | Choose SMCJ24A only when system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W and board space permits larger package. |
Compared with SMAJ24A and SMCJ24A, TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT uniquely balances AEC-Q101 qualification, 600 W capability, and SMB footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial designs requiring validated reliability without layout change.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT?
The TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 22.8 V (minimum) to 25.2 V (maximum) at 1 mA test current, with a nominal value of 24.0 V. This specification is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and confirmed in Vishay Document #88406, Table on page 2. The TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT maintains this tolerance across its full operating temperature range.
Is TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT is AEC-Q101 qualified, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet (Document #88406, page 1, "FEATURES" section) and reinforced by the HE3 suffix designation. It undergoes stress testing including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and electrostatic discharge per JESD22 standards - making TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics.
What does the "-1BHE3/5BT" suffix indicate in TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT?
The "-1BHE3/5BT" suffix denotes a specific ordering variant: "HE3" confirms RoHS compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification; "1B" refers to the revision code (per Vishay's marking convention); and "5BT" indicates packaging in 13-inch tape-and-reel format with 3200 units per reel. This matches the preferred package code "I" and delivery mode listed in the Ordering Information table on page 3 of Document #88406.
Does TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT have bidirectional polarity?
No, TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT is unidirectional only, as specified in the "FEATURES" section of the Vishay datasheet (page 1). It functions as a single-polarity clamp - conducting surge current from cathode to anode when reverse voltage exceeds VBR. Bidirectional variants (e.g., TPSMB24CA) are separate part numbers and are not interchangeable with TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of TPSMB24A-1BHE3/5BT is 33.2 V at 18.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the 10/1000 µs waveform, per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of Vishay Document #88406. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transient events.
