Product details
Overview
TPSMP24HE3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, with 21.6 V to 26.4 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 34.7 V clamping voltage (VC) at 11.5 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating for VBR ≥13 V. It protects sensor signal lines and drive transistors in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP24HE3/85A datasheet, TPSMP24HE3/85A pinout, TPSMP24HE3/85A application, or TPSMP24HE3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, 1.0 mm profile for space-constrained PCBs, low incremental surge resistance, and RoHS-compliant matte tin terminations meeting J-STD-002 solderability.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR oxide-passivated chip construction to achieve excellent clamping capability and very fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD and ISO 7637-2/ISO 16750-2 transients. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction path during overvoltage events while maintaining low leakage (<1 µA at 19.4 V).
The device operates across -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. Its DO-220AA package features UL 94 V-0 molding compound and cathode band polarity marking.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TPSMP24HE3/85A at its rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMP24HE3/85A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 34.7 V at 11.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value ensures protected downstream components remain below their absolute maximum voltage ratings during surge events. The TPSMP24HE3/85A achieves this with low incremental surge resistance inherent to its PAR oxide-passivated chip structure.
Is the TPSMP24HE3/85A qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMP24HE3/85A is AEC-Q101 qualified and designated as high-reliability/automotive grade (HE3 suffix). It undergoes rigorous stress testing including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD per the AEC-Q101 standard. The TPSMP24HE3/85A is intended for use in engine control units, body modules, and other automotive subsystems where reliability under harsh environmental conditions is mandatory.
What does the "HE3/85A" suffix indicate in TPSMP24HE3/85A?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, high-reliability/automotive grade construction with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The "85A" indicates packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with a base quantity of 10,000 units. This packaging format supports high-volume automated assembly and is specified in Vishay's ordering information table for the TPSMP24HE3/85A.
How does the DO-220AA package of the TPSMP24HE3/85A compare to traditional SMA packages?
The DO-220AA (SMP) package of the TPSMP24HE3/85A measures 3.61 mm × 2.18 mm with a typical height of 1.0 mm-35 % lower and 25 % smaller in footprint than the DO-214AC (SMA) package. This enables denser PCB layouts in space-constrained automotive modules. The TPSMP24HE3/85A maintains equivalent 400 W surge capability while improving thermal performance due to optimized copper pad layout recommendations.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the TPSMP24HE3/85A?
The TPSMP24HE3/85A has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +185 °C and an operating junction/storage temperature range of -65 °C to +185 °C. This wide range supports placement in under-hood environments such as engine control units and transmission control modules. The TPSMP24HE3/85A retains full electrical specifications across this range, with VBR exhibiting a temperature coefficient of 0.094 %/°C.
