Product details
Overview
TPSMB8.2AHE3/5BT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for clamping inductive and lightning-induced transients on power rails and signal lines. It features 8.2 V nominal 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 49.6 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 TPSMB8.2AHE3/5BT datasheet, TPSMB8.2AHE3/5BT pinout, TPSMB8.2AHE3/5BT application, or TPSMB8.2AHE3/5BT equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, SMB (DO-214AA) package compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification status, 100 μA max reverse leakage at VWM, and thermal derating behavior above 25 °C ambient.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to deliver stable clamping under high-temperature stress (TJ = 185 °C), with low incremental surge resistance enabling consistent voltage limiting during repetitive 10/1000 μs transients. Its unidirectional configuration supports DC-biased rail protection without forward conduction interference.
The device meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (260 °C peak reflow), employs matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and is qualified to AEC-Q101 - confirming suitability for automotive ECUs and under-hood electronics where reliability under thermal cycling and mechanical shock is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 7.79 / 8.20 / 8.61 V - defines precise clamping onset threshold at 10 mA test current |
| VWM | 7.02 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 100 μA |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak transient energy absorption capability under standardized 10/1000 μs waveform |
| VC @ IPPM | 12.1 V - clamped voltage seen by protected circuit at 49.6 A peak pulse current |
| IFSM | 75 A - surge current handling for 8.3 ms half-sine wave, critical for motor driver flyback suppression |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables operation in engine control units and industrial inverters without thermal shutdown |
| αT | 0.056 %/°C - temperature coefficient of VBR, used to calculate breakdown shift across operating range |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during reverse-biased clamping | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail); conducts only when VIN exceeds VBR |
| Cathode | Current exit point during clamping; marked by color band | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; determines unidirectional polarity orientation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Junction passivation | Optimized anisotropic rectifier process ensures stable VBR and low leakage over 1000+ thermal cycles |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock per standard |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Supports single-reflow assembly at 260 °C peak without popcorn or delamination risk |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR) | 1.48 - tight voltage margin between trigger and clamp improves system-level overvoltage margin |
| High IPPM density | 49.6 A in SMB package - delivers robust surge immunity without requiring larger footprint alternatives |
Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial Power Input Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CAN/LIN bus transceivers and analog sensor front-ends (e.g., pressure, temperature) from load-dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between sensor VCC and GND to clamp transients before they reach IC supply pins. Use Value: Maintains 7.02 V stand-off while clamping to 12.1 V at 49.6 A - preserving signal integrity and preventing latch-up in 5 V/3.3 V sensor ICs. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding AC/DC and DC/DC converter inputs against surges from relay switching, ESD events, and grid disturbances. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS on primary-side DC bus (e.g., 24 V input) to shunt energy into chassis ground. Use Value: 600 W peak power rating and 75 A IFSM withstand capability enable reliable operation in DIN-rail mounted PLC power supplies. |
| Consumer Device USB Port Protection | Telecom Line Interface |
Use Scenario: Secondary-level surge suppression on 5 V USB VBUS lines in set-top boxes and smart home hubs exposed to external adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS placed after fuse and upstream of USB controller to limit voltage during hot-plug transients. Use Value: 100 μA max reverse leakage at 7.02 V ensures minimal standby current drain; 12.1 V clamping prevents damage to USB PHY transceivers. |
Use Scenario: Overvoltage protection on low-voltage telecom interface circuits (e.g., RS-485, V.28) connected to field wiring subject to induced lightning surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional-capable systems use two unidirectional devices back-to-back; TPSMB8.2AHE3/5BT serves as one leg in such configurations. Use Value: 185 °C TJ max and 0.056 %/°C αT ensure stable clamping performance across outdoor cabinet temperature ranges (-40 to +85 °C ambient). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ8.0A | VBR = 8.0–8.89 V (min/typ/max); VWM = 6.8 V; VC = 12.7 V @ 47.2 A | Lower VWM reduces margin for 7 V nominal rails; higher VC increases stress on downstream components | Select when tighter VBR tolerance is required and 0.2 V lower VWM is acceptable in design margin |
| SMCJ8.0A | Same VBR/VWM range but SMC (DO-214AB) package; 1500 W PPPM; 127 A IPPM | Larger footprint (7.11 mm × 6.22 mm) and higher surge capacity suit high-energy industrial mains interfaces | Choose for applications needing >600 W surge headroom and PCB space permits larger SMC package |
Compared with SMBJ8.0A and SMCJ8.0A, the TPSMB8.2AHE3/5BT offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 qualification, SMB footprint compatibility, and 600 W clamping performance - making it preferred for space-constrained automotive and industrial modules where qualification and thermal robustness are prioritized over raw power rating.

FAQ
Is TPSMB8.2AHE3/5BT AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, the TPSMB8.2AHE3/5BT is AEC-Q101 qualified. The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified construction, verified per the Vishay qualification report referenced in document 88406. This qualification covers temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and mechanical shock - confirming suitability for automotive electronic control units and body electronics modules.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TPSMB8.2AHE3/5BT at rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMB8.2AHE3/5BT has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 12.1 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 49.6 A under the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 and Table on page 2 of Vishay document 88406 and represents the upper bound voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case transient events.
Does TPSMB8.2AHE3/5BT support bidirectional transient suppression?
No, TPSMB8.2AHE3/5BT is unidirectional only. Its electrical characteristics - including breakdown voltage specification, reverse leakage limits, and clamping behavior - are defined exclusively for reverse-bias operation. For bidirectional protection, two TPSMB8.2AHE3/5BT devices may be connected in series opposition, or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as SMBJ8.0CA should be selected.
What is the thermal derating behavior of TPSMB8.2AHE3/5BT above 25 °C ambient?
The TPSMB8.2AHE3/5BT follows linear derating above 25 °C ambient, as shown in Figure 2 of Vishay document 88406. Peak pulse power (PPPM) decreases to approximately 50 % at +125 °C ambient and reaches zero at +185 °C junction temperature. Designers must apply this curve when sizing thermal pads and estimating safe operating area in high-temperature enclosures.
Can TPSMB8.2AHE3/5BT be used in place of TPSMB8.0A in existing designs?
TPSMB8.2AHE3/5BT is not a direct replacement for TPSMB8.0A due to differences in breakdown voltage (8.20 V vs. 8.00 V nominal), stand-off voltage (7.02 V vs. 6.8 V), and clamping voltage (12.1 V vs. 12.7 V). While both share SMB packaging and AEC-Q101 qualification, the 0.2 V higher VBR and VWM affect margin in 7–8 V rail applications - redesign validation is required before substitution.
