Product details
Overview
TPSMB24HE3/52T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping inductive and lightning-induced transients on power and signal lines. It features 24 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 22.8–25.2 V at IT = 1 mA), 20.5 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 33.2 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 18.1 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs and sensor interfaces in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMB24HE3/52T datasheet, TPSMB24HE3/52T pinout, TPSMB24HE3/52T application, or TPSMB24HE3/52T equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C junction temperature rating, low incremental surge resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for high-temperature stability and fast response (<1 ns typical), enabling robust protection of sensitive nodes against repetitive ESD and load-dump events. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction capability while clamping reverse transients above VWM.
The device operates across -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. The HE3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification - critical for automotive powertrain and body electronics where reliability under thermal cycling is mandatory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 22.8 V / 24.0 V / 25.2 V at 1 mA - defines precise clamping onset threshold for overvoltage detection |
| VWM | 20.5 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage rises significantly |
| VC @ IPPM | 33.2 V at 18.1 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting stress on downstream ICs |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient energy absorption capacity without failure under standardized waveform |
| IFSM | 75 A - surge current handling for 8.3 ms half-sine wave, supporting load-dump immunity |
| TJ max | +185 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments without derating |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - allows forward-biased operation and reverse-transient clamping in DC-biased rails |
Pinout & Package

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 IPPM = 12.1 A; SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for automotive load-dump per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a | Select when space-constrained and surge energy is <400 W; verify thermal derating at elevated ambient temperatures. |
| SMCJ24A | Higher PPPM = 1500 W, same VBR, larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; 30% higher IPPM (27.3 A) | Better suited for high-energy industrial mains coupling or telecom feeder protection where PCB area permits | Choose when system-level testing requires >600 W margin or when operating in >125 °C ambient environments requiring enhanced thermal dissipation. |
Compared with SMAJ24A and SMCJ24A, the TPSMB24HE3/52T delivers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 qualification, 600 W surge capacity, and SMB footprint - making it the preferred choice for automotive and high-reliability industrial designs where qualification, size, and performance must coexist.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for TPSMB24HE3/52T?
The TPSMB24HE3/52T has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 22.8 V to 25.2 V at 1 mA test current, with a nominal value of 24.0 V. This range is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and temperature extremes up to 150 °C.
Is TPSMB24HE3/52T qualified for automotive use?
Yes, TPSMB24HE3/52T is AEC-Q101 qualified - confirmed by the HE3 suffix per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. It is rated for operation from -65 °C to +185 °C and meets MSL Level 1, making it suitable for under-hood and body-control module applications in passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TPSMB24HE3/52T during a surge event?
The TPSMB24HE3/52T clamps to a maximum of 33.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 18.1 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This clamping voltage is measured at the device terminals and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events.
Does TPSMB24HE3/52T have bidirectional capability?
No, TPSMB24HE3/52T is unidirectional only. Its electrical characteristics - including VWM, VBR, and VC - are specified for reverse-bias operation. Forward conduction follows standard diode behavior with VF = 3.5 V at 50 A, but it does not suppress positive transients on grounded lines.
What package type and mounting specifications apply to TPSMB24HE3/52T?
TPSMB24HE3/52T uses the SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads. It is compatible with J-STD-002 solderability standards and supports reflow up to 260 °C peak (MSL Level 1). Recommended pad layout matches Vishay's 0.2" × 0.2" copper pad dimensions for optimal thermal and mechanical reliability.
