Product details
Overview
TPSMP24AHE3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, with 22.8 V to 25.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 33.2 V clamping voltage (VC) at 12.0 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating for VBR ≥13 V. It protects signal lines and ICs in automotive sensor units against ESD and load dump transients.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP24AHE3/85A datasheet, TPSMP24AHE3/85A pinout, TPSMP24AHE3/85A application, or TPSMP24AHE3/85A equivalent, key selection factors include AEC-Q101 qualification, 1.0 mm profile for space-constrained PCB layouts, low incremental surge resistance, and RoHS-compliant matte tin terminations meeting JESD22-B102 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses Vishay's patented PAR oxide-passivated chip construction to achieve excellent clamping performance and fast response time under 10/1000 µs surge conditions. Its unidirectional configuration provides reverse-biased protection only, with cathode denoted by color band and polarity critical for correct circuit placement.
Rated for operation from −65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature, it delivers stable clamping across automotive thermal environments and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C lead-free reflow compatibility. The device is designed for surface-mount automated placement on FR-4 PCBs using 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 22.8 V / 25.2 V - ensures reliable turn-on above system operating voltage while avoiding false triggering during normal transients |

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TPSMP24AHE3/85A?
The TPSMP24AHE3/85A has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 22.8 V minimum to 25.2 V maximum at 1 mA test current. This ensures consistent turn-on behavior across production lots and temperature extremes, making it suitable for protecting 24 V nominal systems where precise clamping threshold is critical.
Is the TPSMP24AHE3/85A qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMP24AHE3/85A is AEC-Q101 qualified and designated as high-reliability/automotive grade (suffix "A" in part number). It meets stringent automotive requirements including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock, and is intended for use in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules.
What is the clamping voltage of the TPSMP24AHE3/85A under surge conditions?
The TPSMP24AHE3/85A clamps to a maximum of 33.2 V at 12.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and guarantees that downstream 24 V-rated ICs remain within safe operating limits during transient events.
Does the TPSMP24AHE3/85A have a unidirectional or bidirectional configuration?
The TPSMP24AHE3/85A is a unidirectional TVS diode, meaning it conducts only in reverse bias to clamp negative-going transients on positive rails. Polarity is marked by a cathode band, and incorrect orientation will result in no protection-designers must observe marking during layout and assembly.
What package type does the TPSMP24AHE3/85A use, and what are its key mechanical features?
The TPSMP24AHE3/85A uses the DO-220AA (SMP) package: a compact surface-mount outline with 1.0 mm typical height, 0.142 inch length, and 0.126 inch width. Its matte tin-plated leads meet JESD22-B102 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and the molding compound complies with UL 94 V-0.
