Product details
Overview
TPSMP13HM3/84A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, designed for high-reliability overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features 11.7 V to 14.3 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 10.5 V stand-off voltage (VWM), and clamps to ≤19.0 V at 21.1 A peak surge current - deployed in automotive sensor signal lines and industrial I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP13HM3/84A datasheet, TPSMP13HM3/84A pinout, TPSMP13HM3/84A application, or TPSMP13HM3/84A equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C junction rating, low-profile 1.0 mm height, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and uni-directional clamping behavior for DC-biased rails.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns). Its junction design enables stable clamping under repetitive transients while maintaining <1.0 µA reverse leakage at VWM and 150 °C.
The device operates across -65 °C to +185 °C, with thermal derating defined per Figure 2 and peak power rated at 400 W for VBR = 13 V to 43 V. It meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) and is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and qualified to AEC-Q101.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 11.7 V / 14.3 V - ensures reliable turn-on above circuit operating voltage while avoiding false triggering |
| VWM | 10.5 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage begins; matches 12 V rail systems |
| IPPM | 21.1 A - peak surge current it safely clamps without failure under 10/1000 µs waveform |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤19.0 V - clamped voltage during max surge, limiting stress on downstream ICs |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capacity for transient suppression in automotive-grade designs |
| TJ max | +185 °C - supports under-hood and high-temperature industrial environments without derating |
| Package | DO-220AA (SMP) - ultra-low profile (1.0 mm typical height), compatible with automated SMT placement |
Pinout & Package
TPSMP13HM3/84A is a two-terminal unidirectional TVS diode in DO-220AA (SMP) surface-mount package. The cathode is marked by a color band on the body; polarity must be observed during PCB layout to ensure correct clamping direction on DC-biased lines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side connection point | Connected to ground or lower-potential node; completes clamping path during overvoltage events |
| Cathode | High-side connection point | Connected to protected line (e.g., sensor output); color band identifies this terminal for orientation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, ADAS sensors, and infotainment power rails |
| 185 °C junction rating | Enables operation in high-temperature zones (e.g., near power converters or under-hood ECUs) without thermal shutdown |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C) | Supports standard lead-free reflow profiles without moisture-related damage or popcorn effect |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes voltage overshoot during fast transients (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a), improving system immunity |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | Fulfills environmental compliance requirements for global OEM supply chains and industrial certifications |
Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial I/O Interface |
|---|---|

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-E3/57T | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 13 V VBR, 400 W PPPM, but only rated to 150 °C TJ max | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and 185 °C capability; not suitable for under-hood automotive use | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and extended temperature needs |
| TPSMP13A | Same family, tighter VBR tolerance (±5 % vs. ±10 %), identical DO-220AA package and ratings | Offers improved voltage consistency for precision clamping where VBR distribution matters | Prefer for new designs requiring tighter breakdown control; TPSMP13HM3/84A remains valid for legacy BOMs |
Compared with SMAJ13A-E3/57T, TPSMP13HM3/84A delivers higher thermal resilience and automotive qualification; versus TPSMP13A, it trades tighter VBR tolerance for broader availability and cost efficiency in non-critical clamping roles.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TPSMP13HM3/84A?
The TPSMP13HM3/84A has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 11.7 V to 14.3 V at 1.0 mA test current. This ±10 % tolerance ensures robust turn-on margin above typical 12 V system rails while avoiding premature conduction during normal operation. The value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards using a 300 µs square-wave pulse.
Is the TPSMP13HM3/84A suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMP13HM3/84A is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from -65 °C to +185 °C, making it suitable for under-hood and body-control module applications. Its DO-220AA package, halogen-free construction, and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility meet stringent automotive manufacturing and reliability requirements.
What is the clamping voltage of the TPSMP13HM3/84A at its rated peak pulse current?
At its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 21.1 A (10/1000 µs waveform), the TPSMP13HM3/84A clamps to a maximum voltage (VC) of 19.0 V. This clamping level protects downstream components such as microcontrollers, transceivers, and analog front-ends by limiting transient overvoltage stress during surge events.
Does the TPSMP13HM3/84A have a bidirectional configuration?
No, the TPSMP13HM3/84A is strictly unidirectional. It functions as a single-junction avalanche diode with cathode marked by a color band. Bidirectional protection requires either a separate symmetrical TVS or a dedicated bi-directional variant - neither applies to the TPSMP13HM3/84A.
What packaging format is used for the TPSMP13HM3/84A?
The TPSMP13HM3/84A is supplied in 7-inch plastic tape and reel format with a base quantity of 3000 units per reel (package code 84A). The DO-220AA (SMP) package features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing.
