Product details
Overview
TPSMP13A-E3/84A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, designed for automotive-grade ESD and surge protection. It features a breakdown voltage of 12.4–13.7 V at 1 mA, clamps to ≤18.2 V at 5 A peak pulse current, delivers 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and operates from –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP13A-E3/84A datasheet, TPSMP13A-E3/84A pinout, TPSMP13A-E3/84A application, or TPSMP13A-E3/84A equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, low-profile 1.0 mm height, 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation, and 40 A IFSM surge rating - critical for robust protection in space-constrained automotive sensor interfaces and power rails.
Technical Context
The TPSMP13A-E3/84A uses Vishay's patented PAR oxide passivated chip construction to achieve low incremental surge resistance and excellent clamping linearity under fast transient events. Its unidirectional configuration supports DC-biased signal and power line protection with polarity-sensitive mounting indicated by cathode band marking.
Rated for MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020C and compatible with 260 °C solder dip (40 s), it is optimized for automated SMT placement on PCBs with 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal - ensuring thermal performance matching its 185 °C max junction temperature and 0.081 %/°C V(BR) temperature coefficient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage V(BR) | 12.4–13.7 V at 1 mA - defines precise DC trigger threshold for overvoltage clamping |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ13A | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 400 W PPPM; V(BR) = 14.4–15.9 V; 1.5 mm height | Larger footprint and height - less suitable for ultra-thin automotive modules | Choose SMAJ13A only if legacy layout accommodates SMA and thermal pad area exceeds 5.0 × 5.0 mm |
| TPSMA6.8A | Same DO-220AA package; lower V(BR) = 7.13–7.88 V; 300 W PPPM; 1.0 mm height | Designed for 5 V logic rails - insufficient clamping margin for 12 V systems | Select TPSMA6.8A only for sub-8 V signal lines; not interchangeable with TPSMP13A-E3/84A due to voltage mismatch |
Compared with SMAJ13A and TPSMA6.8A, the TPSMP13A-E3/84A uniquely combines AEC-Q101 readiness (via HE3 variant), 1.0 mm profile, and 12.4–13.7 V breakdown in DO-220AA - making it optimal for next-gen compact automotive electronics where height, voltage accuracy, and qualification matter.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range of the TPSMP13A-E3/84A?
The TPSMP13A-E3/84A has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (V(BR)) range of 12.4 V to 13.7 V at 1 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This narrow tolerance ensures predictable clamping onset in 12 V automotive and industrial systems, and is confirmed in Vishay's Document Number 88937, Table on page 2.
Is the TPSMP13A-E3/84A qualified for automotive use?
The TPSMP13A-E3/84A carries the E3 suffix, indicating commercial-grade qualification. However, the HE3 suffix variant of the same device family is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified. While TPSMP13A-E3/84A shares identical electrical specs and DO-220AA packaging, full automotive qualification requires the HE3 version - confirmed in the "MECHANICAL DATA" section of Vishay's datasheet.
What is the maximum clamping voltage for the TPSMP13A-E3/84A under surge conditions?
The TPSMP13A-E3/84A clamps to a maximum of 18.2 V at 5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is specified in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table (page 2) and ensures downstream ICs remain within safe operating voltage during standardized surge events like ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 and 2b.
Does the TPSMP13A-E3/84A require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes - Vishay specifies that rated PPPM and thermal performance require 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pads attached to each terminal. Smaller pads reduce surge current capability and increase junction temperature. The DO-220AA footprint and cathode band orientation must also be verified against IPC-7351B land pattern guidelines to ensure manufacturability and reliability of TPSMP13A-E3/84A.
What is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of the TPSMP13A-E3/84A?
Vishay does not publish a standalone RθJA value for TPSMP13A-E3/84A. Instead, thermal performance is defined by derating curves: 1.0 W power dissipation is valid up to 50 °C ambient, decreasing linearly to zero at 175 °C (Figure 6). This design approach ties thermal behavior directly to the recommended 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pad layout, not a fixed thermal resistance number.
