Product details
Overview
TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T 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 7.5 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR), 6.4 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 11.3 V maximum clamping voltage at 53.1 A peak current, and operates up to +185 °C junction temperature - enabling use in automotive engine control units and industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T datasheet, TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T pinout, TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T application, or TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SMB (DO-214AA) package dimensions, cathode/anode terminal mapping, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and real-world protection use cases for high-reliability 12 V system designs.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for stable clamping under repetitive surge stress. Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature and MSL Level 1 rating support reflow soldering at 260 °C peak and operation in under-hood automotive environments.
The device delivers 53.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with 11.3 V clamping voltage (VC) at rated 600 W, achieving low incremental surge resistance and sub-nanosecond response time - critical for protecting MOSFET gates and microcontroller I/O pins against fast-rising transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 7.13 / 7.50 / 7.88 V at 10 mA - ensures reliable turn-on before downstream IC damage threshold |
| VWM | 6.4 V - blocks normal 5–6 V rail noise while allowing conduction above safe margin |
| VC @ IPPM | 11.3 V at 53.1 A - limits voltage seen by protected load during 10/1000 µs surge |
| PPPM | 600 W - sustains single-pulse energy without degradation in automotive load-dump scenarios |
| IFSM | 75 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands motor commutation surges without bond-wire failure |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables placement near heat sources in engine control modules |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - protects DC rails only; requires correct cathode orientation toward positive rail |
Pinout & Package
TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T uses the SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm body, 2.20 mm cathode band width, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Polarity is marked by a color band denoting the cathode end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Surge current sink | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail); conducts when transient exceeds VBR |
| Anode | Reference/return path | Connected to ground or lower-potential node; completes clamping path during overvoltage event |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock per JESD22 standards |
| Junction passivation | Reduces leakage drift and improves long-term stability under thermal stress in industrial power supplies |
| MSL Level 1 | Enables single-reflow assembly without moisture-related popcorning at 260 °C peak temperature |
| Low VC/VBR ratio (1.51) | Minimizes clamping overshoot relative to breakdown, improving protection margin for 5 V logic interfaces |
| 0.052 %/°C tempco | Ensures predictable VBR shift across -65 °C to +185 °C, simplifying thermal derating in engine compartments |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial PLC Digital Input Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects microcontroller GPIO and CAN transceiver power rails from alternator load dump and solenoid coil flyback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamp placed between 12 V supply and local LDO input.

Use Value: Provides precise 11.3 V clamping with <1 µA leakage at 6.4 V, minimizing standby power loss. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.5A | Same SMB package, 7.5 V VBR, but rated for 600 W with higher VC = 12.0 V and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for commercial/industrial use only | Select SMBJ7.5A only if AEC-Q101 compliance is not required and higher clamping voltage is acceptable |
| 1.5SMC7.5A | Higher-power SMC package (1500 W), same VBR range, VC = 12.9 V, TJ max = 175 °C, non-AEC-Q101 | Requires larger PCB footprint; used where higher single-pulse energy handling is needed | Choose 1.5SMC7.5A when surge energy exceeds 600 W capability and board space allows SMC outline |
Compared with SMBJ7.5A and 1.5SMC7.5A, the TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C operation, and tight 11.3 V clamping in the compact SMB footprint - making it the only choice for space-constrained, high-temperature automotive modules requiring zero-derating up to +150 °C ambient.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T at its rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 11.3 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 53.1 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standard test conditions and ensures downstream components see no more than 11.3 V during surge events. The TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's official documentation and ordering code suffix "HE3", which denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101-qualified variants. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - validating its suitability for under-hood automotive systems. The TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T meets these requirements without derating up to +150 °C ambient.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T?
The "HE3" suffix in TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T identifies a RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified version with matte tin-plated leads that meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. It also passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing. The "52T" denotes tape-and-reel packaging in 13-inch reels with 3200 units per reel - a standard logistics configuration for automated SMT assembly. The TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T is fully traceable to Vishay's certified manufacturing lot data.
Can the TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No, the TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet. It conducts surge current from cathode to anode and blocks reverse voltage up to VWM = 6.4 V. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC line or differential signal lines), a separate bidirectional TVS such as SMBJ7.5CA must be used. Using the TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T in reverse-biased configurations risks permanent breakdown and failure.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T above 25 °C ambient?
The TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T follows Vishay's standard derating curve (Fig. 2 in datasheet 88406): peak pulse power decreases linearly from 600 W at 25 °C to ~300 W at 125 °C ambient, with full capability restored at junction temperatures up to +185 °C. Derating is based on initial junction temperature, not ambient alone. The TPSMB7.5AHE3/52T supports continuous operation at +150 °C ambient when mounted on 5 mm × 5 mm copper pads per terminal, as validated in thermal characterization.
