Product details
Overview
TPSMC47AHE3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, rated for 47 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 44.7–49.4 V), 40.2 V stand-off voltage (VWM), and 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs). It delivers 23.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with 64.8 V clamping voltage (VC) and operates up to +185 °C junction temperature-designed for automotive-grade overvoltage protection on power rails and signal lines.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMC47AHE3/57T datasheet, TPSMC47AHE3/57T pinout, TPSMC47AHE3/57T application, or TPSMC47AHE3/57T equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, unidirectional polarity, 1.0 μA max reverse leakage at VWM, low incremental surge resistance, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity rating.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to achieve stable clamping under repetitive transients and high-temperature operation up to 185 °C. Its 10/1000 μs waveform response ensures robust suppression of inductive switching spikes and lightning-induced surges.
The device features a cathode-band-marked SMC package with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements. The HE3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ47A-E3/57T | Same VBR range (44.7–49.4 V), but 400 W PPPM; SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for automotive load dump per ISO 7637-2 | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy is ≤400 W (e.g., consumer USB ports) |
| TPSMC47CAHE3/57T | Bi-directional variant; identical VBR, PPPM, and package-but adds symmetric clamping for AC-coupled or bidirectional signal lines | Required for RS-485, CAN FD, or audio lines where negative transients occur | Choose only if bidirectional protection is needed; otherwise, TPSMC47AHE3/57T offers lower capacitance and cost for DC rails |
Compared with SMAJ47A-E3/57T and TPSMC47CAHE3/57T, the TPSMC47AHE3/57T provides optimal balance of high-energy clamping (1500 W), automotive qualification, and unidirectional efficiency-making it the preferred choice for 12 V/24 V power rail protection where polarity is fixed and surge severity is high.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TPSMC47AHE3/57T at its rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMC47AHE3/57T has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 64.8 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 23.1 A under a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per standard test conditions defined in the Vishay datasheet document 88407 and reflects the actual voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case transient events. The TPSMC47AHE3/57T maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the TPSMC47AHE3/57T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMC47AHE3/57T is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation and indicated by the "HE3" suffix in its ordering code. It undergoes rigorous stress testing-including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling-to ensure reliability in automotive environments. The TPSMC47AHE3/57T is explicitly recommended for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS modules where 185 °C junction operation and load dump immunity are required.
What does the "HE3" suffix mean in TPSMC47AHE3/57T?
The "HE3" suffix in TPSMC47AHE3/57T indicates RoHS-compliant construction and AEC-Q101 qualification. Per Vishay's ordering information, "HE3" denotes a version that meets both environmental compliance (lead-free, halogen-free exemptions applied) and automotive reliability standards. The "57T" denotes tape-and-reel packaging in 13-inch reels (3500 units per reel), with moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 and peak reflow temperature support up to 260 °C.
Can the TPSMC47AHE3/57T be used in bidirectional signal protection applications?
No, the TPSMC47AHE3/57T is unidirectional only, as stated in the Vishay datasheet. It clamps positive transients relative to its cathode terminal and conducts only in one direction. For bidirectional protection-such as on RS-485, CAN, or AC-coupled lines-the TPSMC47CAHE3/57T (bi-directional variant) must be used instead. Using TPSMC47AHE3/57T in bidirectional configurations risks failure during negative transients.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of the TPSMC47AHE3/57T at its stand-off voltage?
The TPSMC47AHE3/57T exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 μA at its stand-off voltage (VWM) of 40.2 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C. At elevated junction temperatures (e.g., 150 °C), leakage increases to a maximum of 20 μA, as specified in the electrical characteristics table. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss and no measurable impact on high-impedance sensor or reference circuits powered through the protected rail.
