Product details
Overview
TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I 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 of sensitive electronics. It features a 47 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 44.7–49.4 V), 40.2 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 23.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 64.8 V clamping voltage (VC) - deployed on power rails and signal lines in automotive ECUs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I datasheet, TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I pinout, TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I application, or TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C junction temperature rating, low incremental surge resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to deliver stable clamping under repetitive surge stress at elevated temperatures. Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature and MSL Level 1 rating support high-reliability automotive and industrial deployments where thermal cycling and long-term stability are critical.
The device operates exclusively in unidirectional mode with cathode-band polarity marking, and achieves 64.8 V clamping at 23.1 A (10/1000 µs), enabling robust protection of 40 V-rated downstream circuitry such as CAN transceivers, microcontroller I/O, and MOSFET gate drivers without forward conduction during normal operation.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ47A-E3/57T | Lower PPPM (400 W), same VBR range, SMA package (smaller thermal mass) | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; unsuitable for automotive under-hood use | Select when cost-sensitive consumer applications require basic 47 V clamping with lower surge duty. |
| 1.5KE47A | Through-hole DO-201 package, higher IFSM (200 A), identical VBR/VC, no AEC-Q101 | Requires manual or wave soldering; incompatible with high-speed SMT lines | Choose for legacy board rework or prototyping where SMT footprint is unavailable. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 64.8 V at 23.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured with the device mounted on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per JEDEC test conditions and ensures protected circuits remain within safe voltage margins during surge events. The TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation for HE3-suffix parts. It undergoes rigorous stress testing including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling to meet automotive reliability requirements. The TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I is explicitly designated for under-hood and chassis-mounted ECUs where junction temperatures up to 185 °C may occur.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I?
The "HE3" suffix in TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I denotes a RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified version with matte tin-plated leads that meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. The "B/I" portion specifies packaging: "B" is the revision code, and "I" indicates 3500-unit quantity on 13-inch tape-and-reel. The TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I is not halogen-free - that variant uses the HM3 suffix.
How does the TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in 47 V applications?
The TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I is unidirectional only and must be oriented with cathode toward the protected line, making it suitable for DC-biased rails like 40 V automotive supplies. Bidirectional 47 V TVS devices (e.g., TPSMC47CA) protect both polarities but exhibit higher leakage and reduced clamping efficiency in DC systems. For 40 V DC applications, the TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I provides tighter VWM margin and lower dynamic impedance than equivalent bidirectional parts.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of the TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I at its stand-off voltage?
The TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 µA at its 40.2 V stand-off voltage (VWM) and 25 °C ambient temperature. At elevated junction temperature (150 °C), leakage increases to 20 µA - still well within acceptable limits for precision analog and low-power digital circuits. This low leakage preserves system efficiency and prevents false triggering in high-impedance sensing nodes protected by the TPSMC47A802HE3_B/I.
