Product details
Overview
TPSMP24HM3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, designed for high-reliability automotive and industrial circuit protection. It features a 21.6 V to 26.4 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 34.7 V clamping voltage (VC) at 11.5 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood electronics.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP24HM3/85A datasheet, TPSMP24HM3/85A pinout, TPSMP24HM3/85A application, or TPSMP24HM3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 1.0 mm profile height, 185 °C junction temperature capability, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on FR-4 PCBs.
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 and lightning-induced transients per IEC 61000-4-2/4-5. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction path during overvoltage events while maintaining low leakage (<1 μA at 19.4 V) at stand-off voltage.
The device operates across -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range and is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM). Thermal derating follows a defined curve up to 75 °C ambient, with 2.5 W steady-state power dissipation on infinite heatsink.

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-E3/61 | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 24 V nominal VBR; 400 W PPPM; 38.9 V VC at 10.3 A | Higher clamping voltage and 2.2 mm height limit space-constrained automotive modules | Preferred where legacy SMA footprint exists and height >1.0 mm is acceptable |
| TPSMA6.8A-Q | Automotive-grade SMA package; lower VBR (6.45–7.14 V); 600 W PPPM; 11.3 V VC | Designed for 5 V/12 V systems; not suitable for 24 V rail protection due to insufficient VWM margin | Select only for sub-15 V applications requiring higher surge robustness |
Compared with SMAJ24A-E3/61 and TPSMA6.8A-Q, the TPSMP24HM3/85A delivers superior height efficiency (1.0 mm vs. 2.2 mm), tighter VBR tolerance (±10 % vs. ±5 %), and optimized thermal performance for sustained 185 °C operation-making it the preferred choice for next-generation compact automotive electronics.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TPSMP24HM3/85A?
The TPSMP24HM3/85A has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 21.6 V to 26.4 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This range ensures consistent turn-on behavior across production lots while providing adequate margin above the 19.4 V stand-off voltage (VWM) for 24 V system applications. The TPSMP24HM3/85A maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range.
Is the TPSMP24HM3/85A suitable for automotive under-hood use?
Yes, the TPSMP24HM3/85A is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for continuous operation up to +185 °C junction temperature, making it suitable for under-hood environments including engine control units and transmission control modules. Its DO-220AA package passes MSL Level 1 reflow requirements, and its passivated anisotropic rectifier structure ensures stable performance under thermal cycling and humidity exposure. The TPSMP24HM3/85A is explicitly listed in Vishay's automotive-grade product portfolio.
What is the clamping voltage of the TPSMP24HM3/85A at maximum rated surge current?
The TPSMP24HM3/85A clamps to a maximum of 34.7 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 11.5 A, using the standard 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform. This clamping voltage is measured under specified test conditions (mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The TPSMP24HM3/85A achieves this performance with low incremental surge resistance, critical for protecting sensitive 24 V-rated ICs.
Does the TPSMP24HM3/85A have bidirectional capability?
No, the TPSMP24HM3/85A is a unidirectional TVS diode, meaning it functions as a Zener-like clamp only in reverse bias and conducts forward current like a standard diode. Its polarity is marked by a cathode band, and it must be oriented correctly on the PCB to protect against negative-going transients on positive rails. Bidirectional variants are not offered in the TPSMP24x family; the TPSMP24HM3/85A is strictly unidirectional per Vishay's datasheet specifications.
What packaging option does TPSMP24HM3/85A use and how many units are supplied per reel?
The TPSMP24HM3/85A is supplied in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel packaging, with a base quantity of 10,000 units per reel. The "85A" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes this delivery format, distinguishing it from the 7-inch reel variant (e.g., TPSMP24HM3/84A). The DO-220AA (SMP) package is compatible with standard high-speed pick-and-place equipment, and the matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements for lead-free reflow.
