Product details
Overview
TPSMC47AHE3/9AT 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), 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and 185 °C maximum junction temperature - designed to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive power electronics against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMC47AHE3/9AT datasheet, TPSMC47AHE3/9AT pinout, TPSMC47AHE3/9AT application, or TPSMC47AHE3/9AT equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (VC = 64.8 V at IPPM), unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, and thermal stability up to +185 °C in high-reliability automotive and industrial environments.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device triggered by reverse-biased avalanche breakdown. Its passivated anisotropic rectifier structure enables low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), with clamping performance validated under 10/1000 µs surge waveforms per ANSI/IEEE C62.35.
Designed for high-temperature reliability, it sustains continuous operation from –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature, meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, and supports lead-free reflow soldering up to 260 °C peak - critical for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives where thermal derating must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 44.7 V / 47.0 V / 49.4 V - precise breakdown threshold ensures reliable triggering before downstream IC damage |
| VWM | 40.2 V - maximum working voltage; allows safe operation below breakdown during normal system operation |
| VC @ IPPM | 64.8 V - clamping voltage limits transient energy delivered to protected circuitry |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak pulse power handling capability for 10/1000 µs waveform per IEC 61000-4-5 |
| IFSM | 200 A - surge current rating for 8.3 ms half-sine wave, supporting high-energy load dump events |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables placement near heat sources (e.g., power MOSFETs, DC-DC converters) without derating |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - protects only against reverse-polarity transients; requires correct orientation in series with protected line |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), surface-mount, matte tin-plated leads, RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified (HE3 suffix). Cathode indicated by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal during forward conduction | Connected to ground or lower-potential node in unidirectional TVS configuration |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal during forward conduction; avalanche terminal during reverse surge | Connected to protected line (e.g., 48 V rail, CAN-H, sensor output); clamps to VC when overvoltage occurs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock |
| 185 °C junction rating | Enables direct mounting on high-power PCB sections without thermal isolation or layout constraints |
| 1500 W peak pulse power | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) and IEC 61000-4-5 surge events in 12 V/48 V systems |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.38) | Minimizes voltage overshoot across protected devices, reducing stress on gate oxides and ESD structures |
| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Allows unlimited floor life and standard reflow without baking, simplifying SMT manufacturing |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ47A-E3/52 (Vishay) | Same VBR range (44.7–49.4 V), but SMB package (DO-214AA); lower PPPM = 600 W | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for load dump or high-current surge events | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy is ≤600 W (e.g., low-power sensor nodes) |
| 1.5KE47A (ON Semiconductor) | Through-hole DO-201 package; same VBR, PPPM = 1500 W, but TJ max. = 175 °C and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not automotive-qualified; requires wave soldering or manual assembly; less suitable for automated SMT lines | Select for cost-sensitive industrial designs where AEC-Q101 and 185 °C operation are not required |
Compared with SMBJ47A-E3/52 and 1.5KE47A, TPSMC47AHE3/9AT uniquely combines 1500 W surge capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, and 185 °C junction rating in an SMC package - enabling drop-in use in automotive power modules where thermal margin and reliability certification are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for TPSMC47AHE3/9AT?
The TPSMC47AHE3/9AT has a specified breakdown voltage range of 44.7 V (minimum) to 49.4 V (maximum) at test current IT = 1 mA, with a typical value of 47.0 V. This ±5% tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports reliable design margins for 48 V system protection.
Is TPSMC47AHE3/9AT suitable for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, TPSMC47AHE3/9AT is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet. It protects against reverse-polarity transients on a single polarity line (e.g., positive rail to ground). For bidirectional protection, two devices in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as TPSMC47CAHE3/9AT would be required.
Does TPSMC47AHE3/9AT meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, TPSMC47AHE3/9AT carries the HE3 suffix, indicating RoHS compliance and full AEC-Q101 qualification per the Vishay ordering nomenclature. This includes stress testing for temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and mechanical shock - validating its suitability for under-hood and powertrain applications.
What is the clamping voltage of TPSMC47AHE3/9AT at its rated peak pulse current?
The clamping voltage VC of TPSMC47AHE3/9AT is 64.8 V at IPPM = 23.1 A (10/1000 µs waveform), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value defines the maximum voltage seen by downstream circuitry during a full-rated surge event.
Can TPSMC47AHE3/9AT be used in place of TPSMC47AHE3/B?
Yes - the "/9AT" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per Vishay's standard ordering convention (7" reel, 850 pcs), while "/B" indicates revision code "B". Both share identical electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications; the /9AT variant is fully compatible for design-in and production use where reel packaging is required.
