Product details
Overview
TPSMC33AHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection on power and signal lines. It features a 33 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR = 31.4–34.7 V at 1 mA), 28.2 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 45.7 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 32.8 A peak pulse current, and 1500 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed in automotive power supply rails and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMC33AHE3_B/H datasheet, TPSMC33AHE3_B/H pinout, TPSMC33AHE3_B/H application, or TPSMC33AHE3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C junction temperature rating, low 1.0 μA reverse leakage at VWM, unidirectional polarity, and compatibility with lead-free reflow per J-STD-020 MSL level 1.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to achieve stable clamping under repetitive surge stress and high-temperature operation up to 185 °C. Its junction passivation enables robust performance in automotive under-hood environments and industrial control systems exposed to load-switching transients.
The device operates exclusively in unidirectional mode with cathode-band polarity marking, delivers 45.7 V clamping at 32.8 A (10/1000 μs), and maintains <1.0 μA reverse leakage at 28.2 V stand-off voltage and 150 °C junction temperature - critical for low-power sensor line protection.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ33A-E3/5A (Vishay) | Lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package (smaller footprint), same VBR range, non-AEC-Q101 | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer electronics; not qualified for automotive under-hood use | Select when space is constrained and 1500 W surge margin is unnecessary |
| 1.5KE33A (ON Semiconductor) | Through-hole DO-201 package, 1500 W rating, same VBR/VC, no AEC-Q101, higher VF | Used in legacy industrial power supplies where SMT is not required | Select for through-hole assembly or where board-level mechanical robustness outweighs SMT density needs |
Compared with SMAJ33A-E3/5A and 1.5KE33A, TPSMC33AHE3_B/H uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, SMC surface-mount form factor, and full 1500 W surge capability - making it the only option qualified for next-generation automotive ADAS power domains requiring both high reliability and high-density layout.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TPSMC33AHE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMC33AHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 45.7 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 32.8 A using the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and ensures downstream components see limited overvoltage stress during surge events. The TPSMC33AHE3_B/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range up to 185 °C junction temperature.
Is the TPSMC33AHE3_B/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMC33AHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified - explicitly confirmed in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88407, Revision: 19-Jan-2024). Its HE3 suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified construction. The TPSMC33AHE3_B/H is rated for junction temperatures up to 185 °C and meets stringent automotive reliability tests including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and humidity testing - making it suitable for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS power domains.
What does the "HE3" and "B/H" suffix mean in TPSMC33AHE3_B/H?
The "HE3" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified construction with matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The "B/H" denotes packaging: "B" is the revision code, and "H" specifies 7-inch plastic tape-and-reel packaging with 850 units per reel. This configuration ensures compatibility with high-speed SMT placement equipment and supports automotive traceability requirements for the TPSMC33AHE3_B/H.
How does the TPSMC33AHE3_B/H compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in surge protection?
The TPSMC33AHE3_B/H is unidirectional only, meaning it protects against positive transients relative to ground - ideal for DC power lines where polarity is fixed. Unlike bidirectional TVS diodes, it offers lower leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM) and tighter VBR tolerance, improving efficiency in always-on systems. For AC or floating signal lines, a bidirectional device would be required; the TPSMC33AHE3_B/H is optimized for 24 V/48 V DC rails in automotive and industrial applications.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of the TPSMC33AHE3_B/H at elevated temperature?
The TPSMC33AHE3_B/H exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 μA at its stand-off voltage (VWM = 28.2 V) and junction temperature of 150 °C - confirmed in the Vishay Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage is maintained due to junction passivation and ensures minimal power loss and signal distortion in thermally stressed environments such as under-hood automotive modules or enclosed industrial controllers using the TPSMC33AHE3_B/H.
