Product details
Overview
TPSMB24AHE3/5BT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for clamping inductive and lightning-induced transients on power rails and signal lines. It features a 24.0 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR), 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 - used in automotive power supply protection and industrial sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMB24AHE3/5BT datasheet, TPSMB24AHE3/5BT pinout, TPSMB24AHE3/5BT application, or TPSMB24AHE3/5BT equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, SMB (DO-214AA) package compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification status, clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, and thermal derating behavior above 25 °C ambient.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology with optimized junction passivation for stable clamping across temperature. Its 185 °C maximum junction rating enables operation in high-reliability automotive engine bay and industrial motor drive environments where sustained thermal stress occurs.
The device delivers consistent 33.2 V clamping at 18.1 A (10/1000 µs), with low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), ensuring robust protection of downstream MOSFETs and ICs against repetitive transients without degradation under MSL Level 1 reflow conditions (260 °C peak).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 22.8 / 24.0 / 25.2 V - defines reliable conduction onset under surge; ensures clamping initiates before damage to 24 V-rated components |
| VWM | 20.5 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA; sets safe operating margin below system rail |
| VC @ IPPM | 33.2 V at 18.1 A - actual clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines protected circuit's worst-case overvoltage exposure |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient energy absorption capability; supports repeated surges in automotive load-dump scenarios |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables use in under-hood electronics without thermal derating penalties up to this junction temperature |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - protects only against positive transients relative to cathode; requires correct orientation in DC power paths |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - industry-standard SMD outline with 0.205" × 0.220" footprint; compatible with automated placement and reflow |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads. Cathode indicated by color band. Compliant with UL 94 V-0, J-STD-002 solderability, and JESD 22-B102 whisker testing (HE3 suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink node | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when VLINE > VBR; must be routed with low-inductance path to GND |
| Anode | Reference/return node | Typically tied to system ground or lower-potential rail; completes clamping path; polarity-sensitive installation required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified (HE3 suffix) | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and surge endurance per AEC standard |
| 185 °C junction rating | Supports continuous operation in high-temperature zones (e.g., engine control units) without derating until TJ exceeds 185 °C |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load-dump transients in 12 V systems with margin |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.38) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on protected ICs compared to higher-ratio TVS devices |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles without moisture sensitivity concerns |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |

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 (24 V), but lower PPPM = 400 W; SMB package identical; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not suitable for automotive under-hood use; acceptable for commercial-grade industrial controls | Select SMAJ24A only if AEC-Q101 and 600 W surge margin are not required |
| TPSMB24AHM3/5BT | Identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; differs only in halogen-free molding compound (HM3 vs HE3) | No functional difference; HM3 required where halogen-free compliance is mandated (e.g., EU RoHS + POPs) | Choose TPSMB24AHM3/5BT when halogen-free material specification applies; otherwise HE3 suffices |
Compared with SMAJ24A, TPSMB24AHE3/5BT provides 50 % higher surge power handling and automotive qualification; versus TPSMB24AHM3/5BT, it uses standard RoHS-compliant compound without halogen restriction - making HE3 optimal for cost-sensitive AEC-Q101 designs where halogen-free is not mandated.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TPSMB24AHE3/5BT under standard test conditions?
The TPSMB24AHE3/5BT has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 33.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 18.1 A using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and reflects the actual voltage seen by protected circuitry during surge events - critical for verifying compatibility with downstream IC voltage tolerances. The TPSMB24AHE3/5BT maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the TPSMB24AHE3/5BT qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMB24AHE3/5BT is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's official documentation and ordering code suffix "HE3". This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and surge endurance - validating its suitability for automotive powertrain, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems. The TPSMB24AHE3/5BT meets requirements for under-hood deployment up to +185 °C junction temperature.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in TPSMB24AHE3/5BT?
The "HE3" suffix in TPSMB24AHE3/5BT denotes RoHS-compliant construction and AEC-Q101 qualification. It specifies that the device uses matte tin-plated leads, passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing, and is packaged in 7" or 13" tape-and-reel formats per ordering code. The "HE3" designation distinguishes it from non-automotive variants and confirms compliance with automotive reliability and environmental standards - a key identifier for TPSMB24AHE3/5BT in procurement and design-in.
How does the TPSMB24AHE3/5BT compare to the TPSMB24AHM3/5BT variant?
The TPSMB24AHE3/5BT and TPSMB24AHM3/5BT share identical electrical specifications, thermal ratings, and AEC-Q101 qualification. Their sole difference lies in material composition: HM3 uses halogen-free molding compound, while HE3 uses standard RoHS-compliant compound. For most automotive and industrial designs, TPSMB24AHE3/5BT is functionally interchangeable with TPSMB24AHM3/5BT unless halogen-free compliance is explicitly required by regulatory or customer specifications.
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) of the TPSMB24AHE3/5BT, and why does it matter?
The TPSMB24AHE3/5BT has a standoff voltage (VWM) of 20.5 V, meaning it remains non-conductive with leakage <1 µA up to this reverse voltage. This parameter establishes the maximum continuous operating voltage of the protected line - critical for avoiding false triggering during normal operation. Selecting a TVS with VWM ≥110 % of system nominal voltage (e.g., 20.5 V for a 18 V nominal rail) ensures reliable immunity to ripple and tolerance drift while preserving TPSMB24AHE3/5BT's protective function during transients.
