It features a breakdown voltage of 11.7–14.3 V at 1 mA, clamps to ≤19.0 V at 21.1 A peak pulse current, and delivers 400 W peak pulse power with 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP13-E3/84A datasheet, TPSMP13-E3/84A pinout, TPSMP13-E3/84A application, or TPSMP13-E3/84A equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101-compliant reliability, low-profile 1.0 mm height, 185 °C max junction temperature, and suitability for high-density PCB layouts in harsh-environment signal line protection.
Technical Context
The TPSMP13-E3/84A operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, leveraging Vishay's patented PAR oxide passivated chip construction to achieve excellent clamping performance and low incremental surge resistance. Its response time is sub-nanosecond, and it meets J-STD-020C MSL Level 1 for moisture sensitivity.
Rated for operation from –65 °C to +185 °C, it supports automotive applications requiring robust ESD and surge immunity on signal lines, drive transistors, and IC inputs. The device uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002B and JESD22-B102D solderability standards.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.

|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ13A | DO-214AC package (higher profile: 2.3 mm), 400 W PPPM, VC = 21.5 V at 19.1 A | Larger footprint and lower thermal efficiency; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Choose SMAJ13A only if DO-220AA footprint is unavailable and board space allows taller component |
| TPSMP13A-E3/84A | Narrower V(BR) range (12.4–13.7 V), tighter tolerance, same package and PPPM | Better voltage matching for precision 12 V rail protection where tighter clamping threshold is required | Select TPSMP13A-E3/84A when design requires improved V(BR) consistency and reduced VC variation across production lots |
Compared with SMAJ13A and TPSMP13A-E3/84A, the TPSMP13-E3/84A offers optimal balance of ultra-low profile, AEC-Q101 qualification, and broad V(BR) tolerance-making it preferred for space-constrained automotive modules where qualification and height are critical.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TPSMP13-E3/84A?
The TPSMP13-E3/84A has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 11.7 V to 14.3 V at a test current of 1 mA. This range reflects manufacturing tolerance and ensures reliable turn-on behavior across temperature and production lots. The TPSMP13-E3/84A maintains this specification under standard test conditions per ANSI/IEEE C62.35, supporting consistent clamping performance in automotive and industrial circuits.
Is the TPSMP13-E3/84A AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, the TPSMP13-E3/84A carries the E3 suffix, indicating commercial-grade qualification per AEC-Q101. Vishay explicitly lists the TPSMP family-including TPSMP13-E3/84A-as meeting AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for automotive use. This qualification covers temperature cycling, humidity testing, and surge endurance, confirming suitability for under-hood and cabin-mounted electronic control units.
What is the maximum clamping voltage for the TPSMP13-E3/84A under surge conditions?
The TPSMP13-E3/84A clamps to a maximum of 19.0 V at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 21.1 A using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 and Table on page 2 of Vishay document 88937 and represents the upper limit of voltage imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transient events, ensuring downstream ICs remain within safe operating limits.
Does the TPSMP13-E3/84A have polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes, the TPSMP13-E3/84A uses a color band to denote the cathode terminal, consistent with DO-220AA (SMP) package conventions. The band is located near one end of the molded body and must be oriented toward the ground or lower-potential side of the protected line. This unidirectional configuration ensures proper clamping action and prevents reverse-bias failure during surge events.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the TPSMP13-E3/84A above 25 °C ambient?
The TPSMP13-E3/84A follows a linear derating curve shown in Figure 2 of Vishay document 88937: its peak pulse power (PPPM) decreases gradually above 25 °C ambient, reaching ~75 % of rated 400 W at 100 °C and ~50 % at 150 °C. Steady-state power dissipation remains fixed at 1.0 W regardless of ambient, but surge capability must be adjusted per the published derating chart for reliable operation in high-temperature environments.
