Product details
Overview
TPSMB24HE3/5BT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping inductive switching surges and lightning-induced transients on power rails and signal lines. It features 24 V nominal 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 in automotive power supply protection and industrial sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMB24HE3/5BT datasheet, TPSMB24HE3/5BT pinout, TPSMB24HE3/5BT application, or TPSMB24HE3/5BT equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, TJ = 185 °C operation, low clamping ratio (VC/VWM ≈ 1.63), and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity - critical for high-reliability automotive and industrial PCB designs requiring robust ESD and surge immunity.
Technical Context
The TPSMB24HE3/5BT employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to achieve stable breakdown characteristics across temperature. Its junction operates up to +185 °C and maintains tight VBR tolerance (±5%) with 0.085 %/°C temperature coefficient, enabling predictable clamping in under-hood automotive environments.
It delivers 600 W peak pulse power per 10/1000 µs waveform with low incremental surge resistance, ensuring fast response (<1 ns) and minimal voltage overshoot during transient events. The device is rated for 75 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) and exhibits only 3.5 V forward voltage at 50 A, supporting high-energy surge absorption without thermal runaway.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 22.8 / 24.0 / 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 exceeds 1 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | 33.2 V at 18.1 A - peak clamped voltage during 600 W transient, limiting downstream IC stress |
| PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 µs) - energy-handling capacity for repetitive surge events at 0.01% duty cycle |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables placement near hot components (e.g., power MOSFETs, DC/DC converters) without derating |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - protects against positive-going transients only; requires correct cathode orientation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24A | Same SMB package, identical VBR (22.8–25.2 V), but not AEC-Q101 qualified; lower TJ max. (150 °C) | Limited to commercial/industrial use; unsuitable for automotive under-hood deployment | Select SMBJ24A only if AEC-Q101 and 185 °C operation are not required. |
| TPSMB24AHM3/5BT | Halogen-free variant of same base part; identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; differs only in material composition | No functional difference; chosen solely for halogen-free compliance in specific regional regulatory programs | Choose TPSMB24AHM3/5BT when halogen-free materials are mandated by OEM or environmental policy. |
Compared with SMBJ24A, TPSMB24HE3/5BT provides extended thermal capability and automotive qualification; compared with TPSMB24AHM3/5BT, it offers RoHS compliance without halogen-free constraints - making TPSMB24HE3/5BT the preferred choice for cost-sensitive AEC-Q101 applications where halogen content is unrestricted.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TPSMB24HE3/5BT during a 600 W transient event?
The TPSMB24HE3/5BT clamps to a maximum of 33.2 V when subjected to its rated 18.1 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured under standardized test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events - a critical parameter for ensuring downstream ICs remain within their absolute maximum ratings. The TPSMB24HE3/5BT achieves this with low dynamic impedance and stable junction behavior up to 185 °C.
Is the TPSMB24HE3/5BT suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMB24HE3/5BT is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation up to +185 °C junction temperature, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications such as engine control modules, body control units, and ADAS power supplies. Its unidirectional polarity, low clamping ratio, and robust surge handling align with ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2 test requirements. The TPSMB24HE3/5BT also meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in TPSMB24HE3/5BT?
The "HE3" suffix in TPSMB24HE3/5BT denotes a RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified version with matte tin-plated leads and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. It specifies compliance with lead-free soldering standards (peak reflow temperature 260 °C) and automotive reliability testing. The "/5BT" denotes packaging in 7" tape-and-reel format with 750 units per reel - a detail confirmed in Vishay's official ordering information table for the TPSMB24HE3/5BT.
How does the TPSMB24HE3/5BT compare to bidirectional TVS diodes?
The TPSMB24HE3/5BT is unidirectional and therefore protects only against positive-going transients on the cathode side relative to anode - unlike bidirectional variants that clamp both polarities. This makes the TPSMB24HE3/5BT ideal for DC power rail protection where polarity is fixed, offering tighter VBR tolerance and lower leakage than equivalent bidirectional parts. Its design eliminates ambiguity in grounding configuration, simplifying layout for systems like 24 V automotive supplies where reverse polarity is not expected.
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) and why is it important for TPSMB24HE3/5BT?
The TPSMB24HE3/5BT has a maximum standoff voltage (VWM) of 20.5 V, meaning it remains in high-impedance state with leakage < 1 μA up to this DC or RMS voltage. This parameter ensures no interference with normal circuit operation while guaranteeing reliable turn-on only during overvoltage events exceeding VBR. Selecting a VWM ≥10–20% below the protected rail's maximum steady-state voltage - e.g., 20.5 V for a 24 V system - is essential to avoid false triggering and ensure long-term reliability of the TPSMB24HE3/5BT.
