Overview
TPSMB39AHM3_A/H 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 39.0 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 33.3 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 185 °C maximum junction temperature, and SMB (DO-214AA) package - used in automotive power supply protection and industrial sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMB39AHM3_A/H datasheet, TPSMB39AHM3_A/H pinout, TPSMB39AHM3_A/H application, or TPSMB39AHM3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction, 53.9 V clamping voltage at 11.1 A peak pulse current, and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility up to 260 °C.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with avalanche breakdown behavior, optimized for fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its passivated anisotropic rectifier structure ensures stable VBR drift (0.091 %/°C) and robust performance under repetitive surge stress.
Rated for 75 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), it delivers 3.5 V maximum forward voltage at 50 A and maintains reliable operation across –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range - meeting high-reliability requirements in automotive ECUs and industrial motor drives.
Key Specifications
