Product details
Overview
TPSMP24-E3/84A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, designed for automotive-grade surge protection. It features a breakdown voltage range of 21.6 V to 26.4 V at 1 mA test current, 34.7 V clamping voltage at 11.5 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power dissipation with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in sensor signal line and ECU power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP24-E3/84A datasheet, TPSMP24-E3/84A pinout, TPSMP24-E3/84A application, or TPSMP24-E3/84A equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 19.4 V stand-off voltage, 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at 25 °C, -65 °C to +185 °C operating junction temperature, and RoHS/WEEE compliance for automotive electronics design.
Technical Context
The TPSMP24-E3/84A uses patented PAR oxide passivated chip construction to achieve low incremental surge resistance and fast response time under transient events. Its unidirectional configuration enables precise clamping on positive-going surges while maintaining low leakage below 19.4 V stand-off voltage.
Rated for MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020C and qualified to AEC-Q101 when marked HE3, the device operates up to 185 °C junction temperature and supports automated placement due to its 1.0 mm typical height in DO-220AA package - optimized for space-constrained automotive PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage V(BR) | 21.6 V min / 26.4 V max at 1 mA - defines minimum voltage at which clamping initiates under surge conditions |
| Stand-off Voltage VWM | 19.4 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage begins |
| Clamping Voltage VC | 34.7 V at 11.5 A IPPM - peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs transient |
| Peak Pulse Power PPPM | 400 W - surge energy handling capability with 10/1000 µs waveform, derated above 25 °C ambient |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 1.0 µA max at VWM - ensures minimal power loss and signal integrity in standby state |
| Junction Temperature Range | -65 °C to +185 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A-E3/5A | DO-214AC package; 24 V nominal V(BR); 38.9 V VC at 10.3 A; 400 W PPPM | Larger footprint (2.79 mm height); higher thermal mass but less suitable for ultra-thin modules | Preferred where board height >1.2 mm is acceptable and legacy SMA footprint exists |
| TPSMP24A-E3/84A | Narrower V(BR) tolerance (22.8–25.2 V); 33.2 V VC at 12.0 A; same DO-220AA package | Tighter regulation improves consistency in precision clamping applications | Best choice when tighter breakdown voltage distribution is required for margin-critical designs |
Compared with SMAJ24A-E3/5A and TPSMP24A-E3/84A, the TPSMP24-E3/84A offers broader V(BR) tolerance for cost-sensitive automotive applications while retaining identical package, surge rating, and thermal performance - making it optimal for general-purpose ECU and sensor protection where absolute voltage precision is secondary to reliability and footprint.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TPSMP24-E3/84A under standard 10/1000 µs surge conditions?
The TPSMP24-E3/84A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 34.7 V at 11.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and ensures protected circuits remain within safe operating limits during automotive-level transients such as ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 and Pulse 2a.
Is the TPSMP24-E3/84A AEC-Q101 qualified?
The TPSMP24-E3/84A carries the E3 suffix, indicating commercial-grade qualification. While it shares the same DO-220AA package and electrical specs as AEC-Q101-qualified variants (marked HE3), the E3 version itself is not AEC-Q101 certified. For automotive production, use TPSMP24HE3/84A or confirm qualification status via Vishay's official documentation for TPSMP24-E3/84A.
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) and why does it matter for TPSMP24-E3/84A placement?
The TPSMP24-E3/84A has a standoff voltage (VWM) of 19.4 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this DC or RMS voltage level. This allows safe integration on 12 V automotive rails without leakage-induced power loss or false triggering, while still providing robust clamping above that threshold during surge events.
Can TPSMP24-E3/84A be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - the TPSMP24-E3/84A is unidirectional only, as confirmed in Vishay's datasheet features and electrical specifications. It conducts only in reverse bias during clamping and must be oriented with cathode toward the protected line. For bidirectional protection, select a symmetric TVS like SMAJ24CA or consult Vishay's bidirectional TPSMP variants.
What is the thermal derating behavior of TPSMP24-E3/84A above 25 °C ambient?
The TPSMP24-E3/84A follows Vishay's standard derating curve (Fig. 2): peak pulse power drops linearly from 400 W at 25 °C to zero at ~175 °C ambient. At 100 °C, it retains approximately 60 % of rated PPPM. Derating applies to both single-pulse and repetitive surge conditions and must be factored into layout using 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal.
