Product details
Overview
TPSMP24AHM3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, designed for high-reliability automotive and industrial overvoltage protection. 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, 400 W peak pulse power rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood electronics.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP24AHM3/85A datasheet, TPSMP24AHM3/85A pinout, TPSMP24AHM3/85A application, or TPSMP24AHM3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 1.0 mm profile suitability for space-constrained PCBs, TJ = 185 °C operation, MSL Level 1 compliance, and 300 μs/10/1000 μs surge waveform capability.
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 performance across -65 °C to +185 °C, with <1.0 μA reverse leakage at 20.5 V stand-off voltage and 2.5 V forward voltage at 25 A.
The device operates as a shunt-type protector: during transients exceeding VWM = 20.5 V, it avalanches to clamp voltage at ≤33.2 V, diverting up to 12.0 A (10/1000 μs) while maintaining low thermal impedance via its SMP package copper pad layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 22.8 V / 25.2 V - defines reliable avalanche initiation threshold under 1 mA test current |
| VC @ IPPM | 33.2 V @ 12.0 A - maximum clamped voltage during 10/1000 μs surge, limiting downstream IC stress |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capacity for transient suppression per JEDEC standard |
| VWM | 20.5 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 μA |
| TJ max | +185 °C - enables placement near heat sources in automotive engine control units |
| Package | DO-220AA (SMP) - 1.0 mm height, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, MSL Level 1 |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling and HTRB |
Pinout & Package
TPSMP24AHM3/85A 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 proper clamping direction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes clamping path during overvoltage events |
| Cathode | High-side transient input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V supply rail); avalanche conduction initiates here when VIN > VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Passivated anisotropic rectifier technology | Enables consistent VBR tolerance (±5 %) and low dynamic impedance across production lots |
| 185 °C junction rating | Supports direct mounting in high-temperature zones of ADAS modules and powertrain ECUs without derating |
| 1.0 mm profile | Reduces board real estate use by 40 % vs. SMA packages, enabling dense sensor interface layouts |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Eliminates pre-bake requirements for reflow soldering, reducing manufacturing cycle time |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates robustness against mechanical shock, temperature humidity bias, and accelerated life testing |
Applications
| Automotive Power Supply Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 24 V battery rail in engine control unit exposed to load dump (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt clamping device that activates within nanoseconds to limit rail voltage to ≤33.2 V. Use Value: Prevents damage to microcontrollers and CAN transceivers rated for 36 V absolute maximum, extending system field life. | Use Scenario: Analog output line (4–20 mA) of pressure sensor in factory automation PLC I/O module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional transient suppressor placed between sensor output and ADC input. Use Value: Clamps ESD (IEC 61000-4-2) and inductive switching spikes without distorting low-level analog signals due to <1.0 μA leakage at 20.5 V. |
| Consumer Device USB Port Protection | Telecom DC Power Input Protection |
Use Scenario: VBUS line of USB-C port in automotive infotainment head unit. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage guard against hot-plug surges and cable-induced transients.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary protection after primary MOV, absorbing residual fast-rising spikes. Use Value: Provides precise 33.2 V clamping with 12.0 A surge capacity, complementing coarse MOV protection without follow-on current risk. |
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-E3/5T | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 24.0 V nominal VBR; 38.9 V VC @ 10.3 A; 400 W PPPM | 1.8 mm height limits use in ultra-thin modules; higher VC increases stress on protected ICs | Select when legacy SMA footprint compatibility is required and board height ≥1.8 mm is acceptable |
| TPSMA6.8A-Q | Automotive-grade SMA package; 6.8 V VBR; not suitable for 24 V systems | Lower voltage rating restricts use to 5 V/12 V rails only; incompatible with 24 V load dump | Choose only for sub-15 V applications where TPSMP24AHM3/85A's 22.8–25.2 V range is excessive |
Compared with SMAJ24A-E3/5T and TPSMA6.8A-Q, TPSMP24AHM3/85A delivers superior height efficiency (1.0 mm vs. 2.3 mm), tighter VBR tolerance (±5 %), and lower clamping voltage (33.2 V vs. 38.9 V), making it optimal for next-generation compact automotive electronics requiring AEC-Q101 compliance.
