Product details
Overview
TPSMP13HE3/84A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, with 11.7 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 19.0 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 21.1 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating for VBR ≥ 13 V. It delivers robust ESD and surge protection for sensor signal lines in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP13HE3/84A datasheet, TPSMP13HE3/84A pinout, TPSMP13HE3/84A application, or TPSMP13HE3/84A equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 1.0 mm profile, 185 °C max junction temperature, low incremental surge resistance, and RoHS-compliant matte tin terminations solderable per J-STD-002.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device, activated above its 11.7–14.3 V breakdown range to divert transient energy away from sensitive downstream circuitry. Its patented PAR oxide-passivated chip construction ensures stable VBR and low leakage (<1 µA at VWM = 10.5 V).
Designed for 10/1000 µs surge waveforms, it achieves 21.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with 19.0 V clamping, delivering fast response time and excellent surge handling on compact PCB layouts with 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal.

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-E3/5AT | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 13.0–14.4 V VBR; 200 W PPPM; 17.0 V VC @ 17.5 A | Lower power rating and larger 2.3 mm height limits use in ultra-thin automotive modules | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs height constraints and 200 W surge capacity suffices |
| TPSMA6.8A-S | DO-214AC package; 6.45–7.14 V VBR; 400 W PPPM; but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive qualification and higher VBR tolerance; unsuitable for safety-critical vehicle systems | Acceptable for industrial or consumer applications requiring same power level but no automotive certification |

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TPSMP13HE3/84A?
The TPSMP13HE3/84A has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 11.7 V minimum to 14.3 V maximum at 1 mA test current. This range ensures reliable triggering during overvoltage events while maintaining sufficient margin below system rail voltages-critical for protecting 12 V automotive electronics without false triggering during normal operation. The TPSMP13HE3/84A maintains this specification across its qualified temperature range.
Is the TPSMP13HE3/84A qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the TPSMP13HE3/84A is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified and designated as an automotive-grade part (indicated by the "A" suffix and HE3 suffix). It meets rigorous stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and surge endurance required for under-hood and cabin electronics. The TPSMP13HE3/84A is intended for deployment in ECU, sensor, and body control applications where automotive qualification is mandatory.
What is the clamping voltage of the TPSMP13HE3/84A at its rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMP13HE3/84A clamps to a maximum of 19.0 V at its rated peak pulse current of 21.1 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This clamping voltage represents the highest voltage imposed on the protected circuit during worst-case surge events. The TPSMP13HE3/84A achieves this performance with low incremental surge resistance, ensuring effective protection for downstream 12 V-rated ICs without overstressing their absolute maximum ratings.
What package does the TPSMP13HE3/84A use, and what are its key mechanical features?
The TPSMP13HE3/84A uses the DO-220AA (SMP) surface-mount package, measuring just 1.0 mm in typical height-significantly lower than standard SMA or SMC packages. It features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, a cathode identification band, and UL 94 V-0 molding compound. The TPSMP13HE3/84A is supplied in 7" tape-and-reel (84A code, 3000 pcs/reel) for automated assembly.
Does the TPSMP13HE3/84A have any special reliability certifications beyond AEC-Q101?
In addition to AEC-Q101 qualification, the TPSMP13HE3/84A meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing and is RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC compliant. Its patented PAR oxide-passivated chip construction enhances long-term parameter stability, and it achieves MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with a 260 °C lead-free reflow peak. These attributes collectively ensure the TPSMP13HE3/84A supports high-reliability, long-lifecycle automotive deployments.
