Product details
Overview
TPSMB7.5A1BHE3/5BT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for clamping inductive switching surges and lightning-induced transients on power and signal lines. It features a 7.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 6.4 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 11.3 V clamping voltage at 53.1 A, and operates up to +185 °C junction temperature. It is used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMB7.5A1BHE3/5BT datasheet, TPSMB7.5A1BHE3/5BT pinout, TPSMB7.5A1BHE3/5BT application, or TPSMB7.5A1BHE3/5BT equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, SMB (DO-214AA) package compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification status, TJ = 185 °C rating, and clamping performance under 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 7.5 V nominal breakdown voltage is specified at 10 mA test current, with ±5% tolerance (7.13–7.88 V), and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.052 %/°C for VBR.
The device delivers 53.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) at 11.3 V clamping voltage under 10/1000 µs waveform, with 75 A non-repetitive forward surge rating (8.3 ms half-sine). It meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use when ordered with HE3 suffix.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 7.13 / 7.50 / 7.88 V at 10 mA - defines precise clamping onset threshold under standardized test conditions |
| VWM | 6.4 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 250 µA, ensuring reliable blocking in normal operation |
| VC @ IPPM | 11.3 V at 53.1 A - actual clamped voltage during 600 W surge, critical for downstream component overvoltage margin |
| PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 µs) - peak transient energy handling capacity without failure under standard surge waveform |
| TJ max | +185 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments without derating |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - protects against positive-going transients only; requires correct cathode orientation in circuit |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with 0.220" x 0.130" footprint and matte tin-plated leads |
Pinout & Package
TPSMB7.5A1BHE3/5BT uses the SMB (DO-214AA) package: a two-terminal, surface-mount plastic case with cathode indicated by a color band. Dimensions are 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm × 1.52 mm (L × W × H), mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction or surge clamping | Connected to protected line (e.g., power rail or signal trace); must be routed with low-inductance path to ground reference |
| Cathode | Current exit point during clamping; marked by color band | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return path; determines unidirectional clamping direction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Junction passivation | Optimized anisotropic rectifier process ensures stable VBR and low leakage across temperature and life cycle |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated reliability for automotive electronics including engine control, body modules, and ADAS sensors |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak, eliminating moisture sensitivity concerns |
| Low clamping ratio | VC/VBR ≈ 1.51 - tight voltage control minimizes overvoltage stress on protected ICs during surge events |
| High IFSM | 75 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands repetitive motor-commutation or relay-switching surges without degradation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.5A | Same SMB package, identical VBR (7.13–7.88 V), but rated for 600 W with 10/1000 µs waveform and 53.1 A IPPM; no AEC-Q101 qualification stated in standard version | Not pre-qualified for automotive; suitable for industrial/commercial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated | Select SMBJ7.5A if AEC-Q101 is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized |
| SMCJ7.5A | Larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same electrical specs but higher 1500 W PPPM rating; 10.5 V VC at 123 A IPPM | Requires PCB layout change due to larger footprint; used where higher single-pulse energy absorption is required | Select SMCJ7.5A only when surge energy exceeds 600 W and board space allows larger package |

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for TPSMB7.5A1BHE3/5BT?
The TPSMB7.5A1BHE3/5BT has a breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 7.13 V to 7.88 V at 10 mA test current, representing a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 7.5 V value. This specification is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88406, Table "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS", row for TPSMB7.5A. The tolerance ensures predictable clamping behavior across production lots and temperature ranges.
Is TPSMB7.5A1BHE3/5BT AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, TPSMB7.5A1BHE3/5BT is AEC-Q101 qualified. The HE3 suffix in the part number explicitly denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified construction, as stated in the "MECHANICAL DATA" section of the Vishay datasheet. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing, making TPSMB7.5A1BHE3/5BT suitable for automotive electronic control units.
What is the clamping voltage of TPSMB7.5A1BHE3/5BT at its rated peak pulse current?
The clamping voltage (VC) of TPSMB7.5A1BHE3/5BT is 11.3 V at 53.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is specified in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table of the Vishay datasheet and reflects the maximum voltage seen across the device during a full-power surge event, directly determining the protection level provided to downstream components.
Does TPSMB7.5A1BHE3/5BT have bidirectional capability?
No, TPSMB7.5A1BHE3/5BT is unidirectional only. The datasheet explicitly states "Available in unidirectional polarity only" under FEATURES, and the device marking code KGP and cathode band orientation confirm this configuration. It conducts and clamps only for positive transients relative to its cathode; a separate device or bidirectional variant (e.g., TPSMB7.5CA) would be required for symmetrical surge protection.
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for TPSMB7.5A1BHE3/5BT?
The maximum operating junction temperature (TJ) for TPSMB7.5A1BHE3/5BT is +185 °C, as listed in the "PRIMARY CHARACTERISTICS" and "MAXIMUM RATINGS" sections of the Vishay datasheet. This rating enables reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as automotive engine compartments or industrial enclosures, and supports extended lifetime under thermal stress when properly mounted on adequate copper area.
