Product details
Overview
TPSMP22AHM3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the eSMP® PAR® series, designed for high-reliability automotive and industrial surge protection. It features a 20.9 V to 23.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 18.8 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 400 W peak pulse power (PPPM), 13.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 185 °C maximum junction temperature - enabling robust clamping on signal lines and power rails in engine control units and ADAS sensors.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP22AHM3_A/H datasheet, TPSMP22AHM3_A/H pinout, TPSMP22AHM3_A/H application, or TPSMP22AHM3_A/H equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SMP (DO-220AA) package dimensions, AEC-Q101 qualification status, clamping performance at rated surge current, and direct alternatives with documented parameter divergence.
Technical Context
The TPSMP22AHM3_A/H uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to achieve low incremental surge resistance and sub-nanosecond response time under 10/1000 µs transients. Its unidirectional polarity and cathode-band marking align with standard PCB layout conventions for reverse-biased protection circuits.
Rated for TJ = 185 °C operation and MSL Level 1 (260 °C reflow), it supports automotive under-hood applications without derating penalties up to 150 °C ambient. The 1.0 mm typical height and DO-220AA footprint enable dense placement near IC inputs while maintaining thermal dissipation via 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 20.9 V / 23.1 V - Ensures reliable turn-on above system operating voltage while avoiding false triggering during normal transients. |
| VWM | 18.8 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA, matching 12 V automotive supply rails with margin. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Sustains 10/1000 µs surges up to 13.1 A without failure when mounted on specified PCB copper area. |
| VC @ IPPM | 30.6 V - Clamped voltage during full-rated surge, limiting downstream IC stress to safe levels per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a. |

Pinout & Package
TPSMP22AHM3_A/H is housed in the SMP (DO-220AA) surface-mount package: a two-terminal, unidirectional device with cathode identified by a color band. The package has no internal leads; terminals are matte tin-plated copper clips soldered directly to PCB pads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input reference node for clamping path | Connected to protected line (e.g., CAN_H, LIN, sensor output); forms low-impedance path to ground during overvoltage events. |
| Cathode | Clamp return path | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return plane; carries full surge current during transient suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Junction passivation | Reduces surface leakage and improves long-term reliability under humid, high-bias conditions in automotive ECUs. |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Allows single-pass reflow at 260 °C peak without popcorn effect or interfacial delamination. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ22A-E3/57T | Lower PPPM (400 W → 400 W same), but higher VC (35.5 V vs. 30.6 V) and larger SMA package (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm). | Less suitable for space-constrained automotive modules; requires larger pad layout and offers weaker clamping margin. | Select TPSMP22AHM3_A/H when board space is limited and tighter clamping voltage is required for 3.3 V logic interfaces. |
| TPSMA6.8A-Q | Same SMP package, but lower VBR (6.45–7.14 V) and PPPM (250 W); AEC-Q101 qualified with identical construction. | Designed for 5 V systems only; cannot protect 12 V or 24 V rails without premature conduction. | Choose TPSMP22AHM3_A/H for 12 V/24 V automotive power domains where VWM ≥ 18.8 V is mandatory. |
Compared with SMAJ22A-E3/57T and TPSMA6.8A-Q, the TPSMP22AHM3_A/H delivers superior clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.32), smallest footprint in its power class, and guaranteed 185 °C operation - making it optimal for next-generation ADAS and electrified powertrain designs requiring both miniaturization and thermal resilience.

The TPSMP22AHM3_A/H has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 20.9 V to 23.1 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This range ensures consistent turn-on behavior across production lots and temperature extremes, supporting robust design margins in 12 V automotive systems where nominal supply may reach 16 V during cranking.
Is TPSMP22AHM3_A/H compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, TPSMP22AHM3_A/H is rated for MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. Its matte tin-plated terminals meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and the HM3 suffix confirms compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance - making it fully compatible with standard lead-free assembly lines.
Does TPSMP22AHM3_A/H meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, TPSMP22AHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and categorized as automotive grade per Vishay documentation. It passes HTGB, HTRB, temperature cycling, and mechanical shock tests required for under-hood and safety-critical applications, with full traceability and lot-level test data available upon request.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TPSMP22AHM3_A/H at rated surge current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of TPSMP22AHM3_A/H is 30.6 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 13.1 A, tested with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under standardized conditions (25 °C, 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transients.
How does the SMP (DO-220AA) package of TPSMP22AHM3_A/H compare to SMA in size and thermal performance?
The SMP (DO-220AA) package of TPSMP22AHM3_A/H measures 2.18 mm × 3.61 mm with 1.0 mm height - 45 % smaller footprint and 50 % lower profile than standard SMA (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm × 2.2 mm). Its thermal resistance (RθJA) is optimized for PCB copper spread, delivering equivalent 400 W pulse handling in less board area while maintaining 185 °C junction capability.
