Product details
Overview
TPSMC47AHE3_B/I 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 23.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM). It clamps transients to ≤64.8 V at IPPM, operates from −65 °C to +185 °C, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive electronics protection.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMC47AHE3_B/I datasheet, TPSMC47AHE3_B/I pinout, TPSMC47AHE3_B/I application, or TPSMC47AHE3_B/I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, clamping performance under surge conditions, and validated automotive-grade reliability data - all specific to the TPSMC47AHE3_B/I variant with HE3 suffix, RoHS-compliant, halogen-free optional, and 13" tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
The TPSMC47AHE3_B/I employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to achieve low incremental surge resistance and excellent clamping capability. Its unidirectional polarity enables robust protection of DC power rails and signal lines against inductive switching transients and ESD events.
Designed for high-reliability environments, it supports junction temperatures up to 185 °C and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. The device is characterized using standardized 10/1000 µs waveform testing per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and exhibits a typical VBR temperature coefficient of 0.092 %/°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/typ/max) | 44.7 V / 47.0 V / 49.4 V - Ensures reliable triggering above 40.2 V stand-off voltage while maintaining margin against false triggering. |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤64.8 V - Clamps 23.1 A surge to safe levels for downstream 48 V-rated ICs and MOSFETs. |
| PPPM | 1500 W (10/1000 µs) - Handles high-energy transients common in automotive load-dump and inductive kick scenarios. |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - Enables operation in under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives without thermal derating penalties. |
| IFSM | 200 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Withstands repetitive surge events in power supply input stages. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - Protects positive-rail circuits only; requires reverse-biased placement relative to protected line. |
| Package | SMC (DO-214AB) - Standardized footprint compatible with automated SMT assembly and thermal pad layout per Vishay's 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pad recommendation. |
Pinout & Package
TPSMC47AHE3_B/I uses the SMC (DO-214AB) surface-mount package with cathode indicated by a color band. The device has two terminals: anode and cathode. Mounting requires 0.31" × 0.31" (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) copper pads at each terminal for rated power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when VBR exceeded. |
| Anode | Reference/ground return | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return path; completes clamping loop during overvoltage event. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Junction passivation optimized design | Enables stable VBR and low leakage (<1 μA at VWM) across −65 °C to +185 °C operating range. |
| 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Provides immunity to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 3a/b, and IEC 61000-4-5 surge waveforms in automotive ECUs. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification (HE3 suffix) | Validates reliability for automotive applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes clamping voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients (e.g., <1 ns rise time), improving protection margin. |
| MSL Level 1, 260 °C peak reflow | Supports lead-free assembly without preconditioning; eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk during reflow. |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial PLC Digital Input Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ47AHE3_A/H | Lower PPPM (600 W), same VBR range, SMB (DO-214AA) package - smaller footprint, lower thermal mass. | Not suitable for 1500 W load-dump events; limited to lower-energy ESD/EFT protection in space-constrained designs. | Select when board area is critical and surge energy is ≤600 W; verify thermal pad layout compatibility. |
| TPSMC47CAHE3_B/I | Same package and power rating, but bidirectional - symmetric clamping for AC-coupled or dual-polarity signal lines. | Required for protecting differential buses (e.g., RS-485) or AC power inputs where negative transients occur. | Choose only if bidirectional clamping is needed; unidirectional TPSMC47AHE3_B/I offers lower leakage and tighter VBR tolerance for DC rails. |
Compared with SMBJ47AHE3_A/H and TPSMC47CAHE3_B/I, the TPSMC47AHE3_B/I uniquely balances 1500 W surge handling, AEC-Q101 qualification, and unidirectional precision in the SMC package - making it optimal for high-energy DC rail protection where leakage, clamping voltage, and automotive compliance are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for TPSMC47AHE3_B/I?
The TPSMC47AHE3_B/I has a specified breakdown voltage range of 44.7 V (minimum) to 49.4 V (maximum) at 1 mA test current, with a nominal value of 47.0 V. This ±5% tolerance ensures consistent triggering behavior across production lots while maintaining sufficient margin above its 40.2 V stand-off voltage (VWM) to avoid false conduction during normal operation. The parameter is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards.
Is TPSMC47AHE3_B/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, TPSMC47AHE3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified and carries the HE3 suffix indicating RoHS compliance and automotive-grade reliability. It supports junction temperatures up to +185 °C and meets MSL Level 1 with 260 °C peak reflow, making it suitable for under-hood engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS camera power rails. Its 1500 W surge rating aligns with ISO 7637-2 load-dump requirements.
What is the clamping voltage of TPSMC47AHE3_B/I at maximum rated surge current?
The TPSMC47AHE3_B/I clamps to a maximum of 64.8 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 23.1 A (IPPM) under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This clamping voltage defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events and is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range, enabling robust design margin for 48 V-rated downstream components.
Does TPSMC47AHE3_B/I have bidirectional capability?
No, TPSMC47AHE3_B/I is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet. It protects against positive-going transients on DC lines referenced to ground. For applications requiring suppression of both positive and negative surges - such as AC signal lines or differential buses - the bidirectional variant TPSMC47CAHE3_B/I must be used instead. Polarity is marked by a cathode band on the SMC package.
What package type and mounting requirements apply to TPSMC47AHE3_B/I?
TPSMC47AHE3_B/I uses the SMC (DO-214AB) surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads. Vishay specifies mounting on 0.31" × 0.31" (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) copper pads at each terminal to achieve full 1500 W pulse power rating. The device is MSL Level 1 compliant and supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C peak temperature without preconditioning.
