Product details
Overview
TPSMC39AHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, designed for clamping fast-rising voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features 39 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 37.1–41.0 V at 1 mA), 33.3 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 53.9 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 27.8 A peak pulse current, and 1500 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed in automotive sensor protection and industrial power rail surge suppression.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMC39AHE3_B/H datasheet, TPSMC39AHE3_B/H pinout, TPSMC39AHE3_B/H application, or TPSMC39AHE3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C junction temperature capability, low incremental surge resistance, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated terminals solderable per J-STD-002.
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 reliable performance in automotive under-hood environments and industrial control systems exposed to load-switching transients.
The device responds within picoseconds to overvoltage events and maintains low dynamic impedance during 10/1000 μs surges, delivering consistent clamping at ≤53.9 V up to 27.8 A. It meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and supports reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 37.1 / 39.0 / 41.0 V at 1 mA - defines precise voltage threshold where avalanche conduction begins reliably |
| VWM | 33.3 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | 53.9 V at 27.8 A - clamping voltage limiting downstream IC/MOSFET stress during 10/1000 μs surge |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak transient power dissipation capability without failure under standardized waveform |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables use in high-ambient automotive and industrial environments without derating |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - protects against positive-going transients only; cathode marked by band |
| Package | SMC (DO-214AB) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with 8.13 mm × 6.22 mm footprint and thermal pad compatibility |
Pinout & Package
TPSMC39AHE3_B/H is housed in an SMC (DO-214AB) plastic package with two terminals: cathode (marked by color band) and anode. The package conforms to JEDEC DO-214AB mechanical dimensions and supports automated placement and reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink node | Connected to protected line; conducts avalanche current to ground during overvoltage event |
| Anode | Reference/return path | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return plane to complete clamping path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and surge endurance per stress test plan |
| Junction passivation | Reduces surface leakage and improves long-term stability under humidity and bias stress |
| MSL Level 1 | Zero floor-life limitation; supports unlimited exposure to ambient prior to reflow soldering |
| 1500 W peak pulse power | Withstands IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge (4 kV line-earth) when properly mounted on 8 mm × 8 mm copper pads |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.38) | Minimizes overvoltage margin between clamping and protected device's absolute maximum rating |
Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial Power Rail Clamping |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on main supply rail, coordinated with upstream fuse and downstream LDO/regulator. Use Value: Limits rail overshoot to ≤53.9 V during 1500 W transients, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in downstream MOSFETs and controllers. |
| Telecom Line Interface Protection | Consumer Power Adapter Input Stage |
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36A-E3/5AT (Vishay) | Lower VBR (34.2–37.8 V), lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package (smaller thermal mass) | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; limited to commercial-temperature industrial use | Select when cost and board space are critical and 400 W surge rating suffices |
| 1.5KE39A (ON Semiconductor) | Through-hole DO-201 package, same VBR range, 1500 W rating, but no AEC-Q101 qualification | Requires wave soldering; unsuitable for fully SMT automotive production | Choose for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where reflow compatibility is not required |
Compared with SMAJ36A-E3/5AT and 1.5KE39A, the TPSMC39AHE3_B/H delivers automotive-grade reliability via AEC-Q101 qualification, superior thermal robustness (TJ = 185 °C), and SMC package compatibility with high-volume SMT assembly - making it the preferred choice for production automotive and industrial systems requiring validated surge immunity.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for TPSMC39AHE3_B/H?
The TPSMC39AHE3_B/H has a specified breakdown voltage range of 37.1 V (minimum) to 41.0 V (maximum) at 1 mA test current, with 39.0 V as the nominal value. This ±5% tolerance ensures predictable clamping onset across production lots and temperature extremes, supporting design margining for protected ICs with known absolute maximum ratings.
Is TPSMC39AHE3_B/H suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, TPSMC39AHE3_B/H is unidirectional only - it clamps positive transients relative to its cathode terminal and blocks reverse voltage up to VWM = 33.3 V. For bidirectional protection, a pair of TPSMC39AHE3_B/H devices in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as TPSMC39CAHE3_B/H would be required.
Does TPSMC39AHE3_B/H require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes, TPSMC39AHE3_B/H must be derated above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in the datasheet. At 125 °C ambient, its peak pulse power drops to approximately 750 W (50% of rated 1500 W), and at 150 °C, it falls to ~500 W. Proper PCB copper pad area (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm per terminal) is essential to maintain thermal performance.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in TPSMC39AHE3_B/H?
The "HE3" suffix in TPSMC39AHE3_B/H denotes RoHS-compliant construction and AEC-Q101 qualification. It confirms the device meets automotive reliability standards and uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 whisker testing Class 2 - critical for long-term solder joint integrity in automotive applications.
How is the clamping voltage VC measured for TPSMC39AHE3_B/H?
VC for TPSMC39AHE3_B/H is measured as the maximum voltage across the device when subjected to a 10/1000 μs exponential current waveform peaking at 27.8 A - per Figure 3 in the datasheet. This yields a guaranteed VC ≤ 53.9 V, representing worst-case overvoltage seen by downstream circuitry during standardized surge testing.
