Product details
Overview
TPSMP27AHE3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, with 25.7–28.4 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 37.5 V clamping voltage (VC) at 10.7 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating for VBR ≥13 V. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used to protect sensor signal lines and drive transistors in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP27AHE3/85A datasheet, TPSMP27AHE3/85A pinout, TPSMP27AHE3/85A application, or TPSMP27AHE3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, unidirectional polarity, RoHS-compliant matte tin terminations, and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility up to 260 °C.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, activated when reverse voltage exceeds its specified VBR range (25.7–28.4 V). Its patented PAR oxide-passivated chip construction ensures low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), critical for suppressing ESD and load-dump transients in automotive environments.
Designed for surface-mount placement on FR-4 PCBs with 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal, it delivers 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform) at TA = 25 °C and maintains stable clamping up to TJ = 185 °C, with temperature coefficient of VBR at +0.096 %/°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 25.7 V / 28.4 V - defines precise avalanche turn-on threshold for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VC @ IPPM | 37.5 V at 10.7 A - maximum clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting stress on protected ICs |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling for VBR ≥13 V, enabling robust protection against ISO 7637-2 pulses |
| IFSM | 40 A - non-repetitive forward surge current rating, supporting high-energy transient suppression |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - maximum junction temperature, allowing operation in under-hood automotive locations |
| VWM | 23.1 V - maximum working voltage, ensuring no conduction during normal 24 V system operation |
| IR @ VWM | 1.0 µA - ultra-low reverse leakage at stand-off voltage, minimizing standby power loss |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ28A-E3/5AT | DO-214AC (SMA) package, 28.0–31.0 V VBR, 400 W PPPM, but 2.2 mm height and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not automotive-qualified; suitable for industrial/commercial designs where qualification is not mandated | Select SMAJ28A-E3/5AT only if AEC-Q101 compliance is unnecessary and board height budget permits 2.2 mm profile |
| TPSMP28AHE3/85A | Same DO-220AA package, AEC-Q101 qualified, VBR = 26.6–29.4 V, VC = 38.9 V @ 10.3 A - slightly higher clamping and tighter VBR tolerance | Direct family variant with marginally improved voltage matching for 28 V nominal systems | Choose TPSMP28AHE3/85A when tighter VBR distribution or lower clamping drift is required for 28 V rail protection |
Compared with SMAJ28A-E3/5AT, TPSMP27AHE3/85A offers automotive qualification and lower profile; versus TPSMP28AHE3/85A, it provides lower VBR and VC, making it better suited for 24 V systems needing earlier clamping onset and reduced let-through voltage.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TPSMP27AHE3/85A?
The TPSMP27AHE3/85A has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 25.7 V to 28.4 V at test current IT = 1 mA, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This tight tolerance ensures predictable turn-on behavior in 24 V automotive systems where early clamping is critical to prevent downstream IC damage.
Is the TPSMP27AHE3/85A suitable for lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, the TPSMP27AHE3/85A is rated for MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C, fully compatible with standard lead-free soldering processes without preconditioning or dry-pack requirements.
Does the TPSMP27AHE3/85A meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the TPSMP27AHE3/85A carries AEC-Q101 qualification, verified through stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and mechanical shock. The HE3 suffix further confirms high-reliability automotive grade per Vishay's internal specifications.
What is the clamping voltage of the TPSMP27AHE3/85A under surge conditions?
The TPSMP27AHE3/85A clamps to a maximum of 37.5 V at 10.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C with 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pads and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events.
How does the TPSMP27AHE3/85A differ from the standard TPSMP27AHE3/84A?
The TPSMP27AHE3/85A differs from TPSMP27AHE3/84A solely in packaging: both share identical electrical and thermal specifications, but the /85A variant ships in 13-inch tape-and-reel format (10,000 units/reel), whereas /84A uses 7-inch reels (3,000 units/reel), enabling higher-volume automated assembly throughput.
