Product details
Overview
TPSMP24AHM3/84A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, designed for high-energy surge protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 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 with 10/1000 µs waveform - ideal for automotive power line and signal line protection.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP24AHM3/84A datasheet, TPSMP24AHM3/84A pinout, TPSMP24AHM3/84A application, or TPSMP24AHM3/84A equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C junction temperature rating, low-profile 1.0 mm height, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity for robust reflow compatibility.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD, lightning-induced transients, and load dump events. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction capability while clamping reverse surges above VBR.
The device operates across -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Its DO-220AA package supports automated placement and delivers 400 W peak pulse power dissipation when mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal.
Key Specifications

| VBR (min/max) | 22.8 V / 25.2 V - ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage (20.5 V stand-off) without false clamping |
| VC @ IPPM | 33.2 V at 12.0 A - limits protected circuit voltage during 10/1000 µs surge to safe levels for 24 V automotive ICs |
| PPPM | 400 W - sustains high-energy transients common in 12 V/24 V vehicle power networks |
| IFSM | 40 A - withstands 10 ms half-sine surge without degradation, critical for alternator load dump immunity |
| TJ max | +185 °C - enables operation in under-hood environments and supports AEC-Q101 automotive qualification |
| VWM | 20.5 V - maintains stable reverse blocking up to rated system voltage with only 1.0 µA leakage |
| Package | DO-220AA (SMP) - ultra-low profile (1.0 mm height), halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and MSL Level 1 |
Pinout & Package
TPSMP24AHM3/84A 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; the anode and cathode terminals are symmetrically arranged for PCB layout flexibility.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 38.9 V clamping at 10.3 A; 400 W rating; same VBR range but higher VC | Larger footprint (2.5 mm height); lower thermal performance on small pads due to higher RθJA | Choose SMAJ24A only if DO-220AA assembly infrastructure is unavailable; verify pad thermal relief for sustained surge duty. |
| TPSMD24A | DO-214AB (SMC) package; 38.9 V clamping at 10.3 A; 1500 W rating; significantly larger size and higher surge capacity | Designed for primary-side AC/DC or high-power motor drive protection; not suitable for space-constrained automotive modules | Use TPSMD24A where >1000 W surge handling is required; avoid in TPSMP24AHM3/84A-replaced designs due to incompatible footprint and layout change. |
Compared with SMAJ24A and TPSMD24A, the TPSMP24AHM3/84A offers superior power density (400 W in 1.0 mm height), AEC-Q101 qualification, and MSL Level 1 compatibility - making it optimal for automotive and portable industrial electronics where board space, reliability, and reflow robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of TPSMP24AHM3/84A and how is it measured?
The TPSMP24AHM3/84A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 33.2 V at 12.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using a 10/1000 µs standard surge waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and reflects the voltage seen by downstream circuitry during worst-case transient events - critical for ensuring compatibility with 36 V-rated ICs in 24 V systems. The TPSMP24AHM3/84A achieves this with low incremental surge resistance.
Is TPSMP24AHM3/84A suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, TPSMP24AHM3/84A is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature, making it fully compliant for under-hood and powertrain applications. Its DO-220AA package meets MSL Level 1, and its 400 W peak pulse power rating addresses ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load dump requirements - all confirmed in Vishay Document Number 88471 for the TPSMP24AHM3/84A.
What does the "HM3/84A" suffix indicate in TPSMP24AHM3/84A?
The "HM3" suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and AEC-Q101 qualification. The "/84A" specifies the packaging: 7-inch diameter plastic tape-and-reel with 3000 units per reel - a standard logistics format for SMT assembly lines. This coding is defined in the Ordering Information section of the TPSMP24AHM3/84A datasheet.
How does TPSMP24AHM3/84A compare to bidirectional TVS diodes?
TPSMP24AHM3/84A is unidirectional and conducts forward current like a rectifier, enabling use in DC circuits where polarity is fixed - unlike bidirectional devices that clamp both polarities. Its 20.5 V stand-off voltage (VWM) and 22.8–25.2 V breakdown allow precise coordination with 24 V system rails, while offering lower leakage (<1.0 µA) and tighter VBR tolerance than comparable bidirectional parts - essential for stable biasing in sensor interfaces.
What PCB layout guidance applies to TPSMP24AHM3/84A for optimal surge performance?
Vishay specifies mounting TPSMP24AHM3/84A on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal to achieve rated 400 W peak pulse power. Minimize trace inductance by placing the device directly across the protected line and ground with short, wide traces. Maintain clearance from heat sources, and observe the DO-220AA outline (0.142" × 0.126") and 0.030" cathode band position per the package drawing in the TPSMP24AHM3/84A datasheet.
