Product details
Overview
TPSMB24AHE3/52T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for clamping inductive switching surges and lightning-induced transients on power rails and signal lines. It features a 24 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR = 22.8–25.2 V at 1 mA), 20.5 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 33.2 V maximum 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 TPSMB24AHE3/52T datasheet, TPSMB24AHE3/52T pinout, TPSMB24AHE3/52T application, or TPSMB24AHE3/52T equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, SMB (DO-214AA) package compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification status, TJ = 185 °C thermal rating, and verified clamping performance under repetitive 10/1000 µs surge conditions.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for high-temperature stability and low incremental surge resistance. Its junction passivation enables reliable operation at TJ = 185 °C and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak.
The device delivers precise clamping with 33.2 V VC at IPPM = 18.1 A (10/1000 µs), exhibits <1 μA reverse leakage at VWM = 20.5 V (TA = 25 °C), and maintains stable VBR across temperature via αT = 0.085 %/°C coefficient - critical for automotive-grade ECU and ADAS power rail protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 22.8 / 24.0 / 25.2 V at 1 mA - defines precise voltage threshold where avalanche conduction begins under transient stress |
| VWM | 20.5 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage occurs |
| VC @ IPPM | 33.2 V at 18.1 A (10/1000 µs) - actual clamped voltage seen by protected IC during worst-case surge |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient energy absorption capability without failure under standardized waveform |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive environments and high-power industrial enclosures |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - protects against positive-going transients only; cathode marked with band |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with 0.220" x 0.130" footprint and 0.096 g unit weight |
Pinout & Package
TPSMB24AHE3/52T uses the SMB (DO-214AA) package: molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 rated compound, and cathode indicated by a color band. Mounting requires 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal per JEDEC standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink node | Connected to protected line; conducts avalanche current to ground during overvoltage events |
| Anode | Reference/return path | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return plane to complete clamping loop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics per stress test requirements including HTOL, TC, and HAST |
| Junction passivation | Enables stable 185 °C operation and long-term reliability under thermal cycling and humidity exposure |
| 600 W peak pulse power | Withstands repeated 10/1000 µs surges at 0.01% duty cycle without degradation in clamping performance |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR) | 1.38 - ensures minimal overvoltage margin between breakdown and clamping, protecting downstream MOSFETs and ICs |
| MSL Level 1 | Zero floor life limitation; supports standard SMT reflow up to 260 °C peak without baking |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A | Same VBR range (22.8–25.2 V), but lower PPPM = 400 W and VC = 38.9 V at 10.3 A; SMA package (smaller thermal mass) | Limited to lower-energy transients; not AEC-Q101 qualified; unsuitable for automotive under-hood use | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and higher surge robustness is unnecessary |
| SMCJ24A | Higher PPPM = 1500 W, same VBR, VC = 38.9 V at 38.9 A; larger SMC (DO-214AB) package | Supports heavier industrial surge standards (IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4); requires more PCB area and thermal relief | Choose when system-level testing demands >600 W surge handling and board space permits SMC footprint |
Compared with SMAJ24A and SMCJ24A, TPSMB24AHE3/52T uniquely balances AEC-Q101 qualification, 600 W surge capacity, SMB footprint, and 185 °C operation - making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial designs requiring validated reliability without over-engineering.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for TPSMB24AHE3/52T?
The TPSMB24AHE3/52T has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 22.8 V to 25.2 V at 1 mA test current (VBR), measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This range reflects manufacturing tolerance and ensures reliable turn-on behavior across production lots while maintaining compatibility with 24 V system margins.
Is TPSMB24AHE3/52T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TPSMB24AHE3/52T is AEC-Q101 qualified - confirmed in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number 88406, Revision 23-Jan-2024). The HE3 suffix denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified construction, validated for use in automotive powertrain, body control, and ADAS modules.
What does the "HE3/52T" suffix indicate in TPSMB24AHE3/52T?
The "HE3" denotes Vishay's RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified variant with matte tin-plated leads and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. "52T" specifies the packaging: 7" diameter tape-and-reel with 750 units per reel, per Vishay's ordering convention for SMB devices.
Can TPSMB24AHE3/52T replace TPSMB24AHE3/A?
TPSMB24AHE3/52T and TPSMB24AHE3/A share identical electrical specifications, package, and qualification. The "52T" and "A" suffixes denote different reel configurations (750 vs. unspecified quantity) and revision codes - both are functionally interchangeable in design and production.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TPSMB24AHE3/52T under surge conditions?
The TPSMB24AHE3/52T clamps to a maximum of 33.2 V when subjected to its rated 18.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in the datasheet and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events.
