Product details
Overview
TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT 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 8.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 7.02 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 49.6 V maximum clamping voltage at 12.1 A peak pulse current, and operates up to +185 °C junction temperature - deployed in automotive sensor protection and industrial power supply input stages.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT datasheet, TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT pinout, TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT application, or TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, SMB (DO-214AA) package compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification status, TJ = 185 °C thermal capability, and verified clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge conditions.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to deliver stable breakdown behavior across temperature and high reliability under repetitive surge stress. Its 10/1000 µs waveform rating of 600 W and low incremental surge resistance enable precise overvoltage clamping without thermal runaway during transient events.
The device is rated for 75 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), exhibits 0.056 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak - confirming suitability for automated SMT assembly in automotive-grade production environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 7.79 V / 8.20 V / 8.61 V at 10 mA - defines precise clamping onset threshold under DC bias |
| VWM | 7.02 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 100 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 49.6 V at 12.1 A - peak clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting downstream IC stress |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling capacity under standardized surge waveform |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments |

| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTGB, HTRB, and TCT |
Pinout & Package
TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT is housed in an SMB (DO-214AA) plastic package with matte tin-plated leads. The cathode is marked by a color band on the body; terminals are solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and meet JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Surge current sink node | Connected to protected line; conducts during overvoltage to clamp to VC |
| Anode | Reference/return path | Typically tied to ground or lower-potential rail; completes clamping current path |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ8.0A | 8.0 V VBR min (vs. 7.79 V), 48.4 V VC @ 12.3 A, same SMB package and 600 W rating | Slightly lower clamping voltage but tighter VBR tolerance; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and tighter VBR distribution is prioritized over automotive qualification |
| TPSMB8.2AHM3/5BT | Identical electrical specs; halogen-free molding compound and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance (vs. HE3's RoHS-only) | Required for halogen-free BOMs in EU/Asia markets; identical thermal and surge performance | Choose HM3 suffix where halogen-free compliance and enhanced whisker resistance are mandated by OEM specifications |
Compared with SMBJ8.0A and TPSMB8.2AHM3/5BT, the TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT provides AEC-Q101 qualification out-of-box with RoHS compliance, making it the default choice for automotive Tier 1 designs requiring documented reliability evidence - while HM3 offers material-level enhancements for regulated regions.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance of the TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT?
The TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT has a specified breakdown voltage range of 7.79 V (min) to 8.61 V (max) at 10 mA test current, with a nominal value of 8.20 V. This ±5 % tolerance ensures predictable clamping onset across production lots and temperature extremes, critical for consistent protection in automotive and industrial systems using the TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT.
Is the TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, the TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT is AEC-Q101 qualified. The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101-qualified construction, validated per stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling (TCT). This qualification is explicitly confirmed in Vishay document 88406 for all TPSMBx.xAHE3 variants, including the TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT under surge conditions?
The TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 49.6 V at 12.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during worst-case transient events - a key parameter for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings when using the TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT.
Does the TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT have unidirectional or bidirectional polarity?
The TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet section "FEATURES" and "PRIMARY CHARACTERISTICS". Its cathode is marked by a color band, and it conducts only when the cathode is at higher potential than the anode - making it suitable for DC rail and single-polarity signal line protection. Bidirectional variants are not offered in the TPSMBx.xA family; the TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT must be oriented correctly in-circuit.
What package type does the TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT use, and what are its mounting requirements?
The TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT uses the SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package, with mechanical dimensions of 0.220" × 0.130" and a cathode band indicator. Per datasheet note (2), it must be mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads at each terminal to achieve full 600 W pulse power rating. Reflow profile must comply with J-STD-020 MSL Level 1, with peak temperature up to 260 °C - standard for the TPSMB8.2A1BHE3/5BT.
