Overview
TPSMP27AHM3/84A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the eSMP® Series, designed for high-reliability overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 25.7 V to 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 with 10/1000 µs waveform - optimized for automotive and industrial signal-line protection.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP27AHM3/84A datasheet, TPSMP27AHM3/84A pinout, TPSMP27AHM3/84A application, or TPSMP27AHM3/84A equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-220AA (SMP) package with 1.0 mm profile, TJ = 185 °C operation, low incremental surge resistance, and uni-directional polarity for DC-biased lines such as power rails and sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to deliver fast response time (<1 ns), excellent clamping performance, and stable breakdown characteristics across temperature. Its junction passivation enables robust reliability under repetitive surge stress and high-temperature operation up to 185 °C.
The device operates as a uni-directional clamp, conducting only during reverse overvoltage events above VBR, with forward voltage limited to 2.5 V at 25 A. It meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage VBR | 25.7 V min / 28.4 V max at 1 mA - defines precise overvoltage triggering threshold for reliable system-level protection |
| Clamping Voltage VC | 37.5 V at 10.7 A (10/1000 µs) - limits downstream voltage stress during surge events to safe levels |
| Peak Pulse Power PPPM | 400 W - supports high-energy transients common in automotive load-dump and ISO 7637-2 scenarios |
| Stand-off Voltage VWM | 23.1 V - ensures no conduction during normal 24 V system operation, minimizing leakage and power loss |
| Operating Temperature Range | -65 °C to +185 °C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and harsh-environment control units |
| Package | DO-220AA (SMP) - ultra-low-profile surface-mount package (1.0 mm height) compatible with automated SMT assembly |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity, and surge endurance |
Pinout & Package
TPSMP27AHM3/84A is a two-terminal unidirectional TVS diode in the DO-220AA (SMP) package. The cathode is marked by a color band on the body; the anode and cathode terminals are arranged linearly along the package length for standard PCB layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / Reverse voltage reference node | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path); establishes reference for clamping action |
| Cathode | Reverse voltage input / Surge current sink | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail or sensor output); conducts surge current to ground when VIN exceeds VBR |
Key Features

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 | Higher VBR (25.2–27.8 V), same DO-214AC package, 400 W PPPM, but rated only to TJ = 150 °C | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and 185 °C operation - unsuitable for under-hood automotive use | Select SMAJ28A only for cost-sensitive industrial or consumer designs where extended temperature range is not required |
| TPSMD28A | Same VBR range (25.2–27.8 V), higher PPPM (500 W), larger DO-214AB package (2.3 mm height), TJ = 175 °C | Greater surge handling at expense of board space and height - better for high-energy industrial surges | Choose TPSMD28A when system-level testing requires >400 W surge margin or when thermal mass favors larger package |
Compared with SMAJ28A and TPSMD28A, the TPSMP27AHM3/84A uniquely balances ultra-low profile (1.0 mm), AEC-Q101 qualification, and 185 °C operation - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, high-reliability automotive modules where both mechanical fit and thermal resilience are critical.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for TPSMP27AHM3/84A?
The TPSMP27AHM3/84A has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 25.7 V minimum to 28.4 V maximum at 1 mA test current. This ±5 % tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports robust design margins for 24 V automotive systems where nominal rail voltages can vary between 20 V and 28 V during cranking or load dump.
Is TPSMP27AHM3/84A suitable for bidirectional signal-line protection?
No - the TPSMP27AHM3/84A is a unidirectional TVS diode and conducts only during reverse-biased overvoltage events. It must not be used on AC-coupled or bidirectional data lines (e.g., CAN, USB, RS-485) without external circuitry. For such applications, a bidirectional variant like TPSMP27AHM3/84A's counterpart TPSMP27CA would be required, though that part is not offered in the HM3/84A tape-and-reel configuration.
Does TPSMP27AHM3/84A require a heatsink for 2.5 W steady-state dissipation?
No - the TPSMP27AHM3/84A is rated for 2.5 W power dissipation at TA = 75 °C on an infinite heatsink, but its intended use is transient suppression, not continuous power handling. Under normal operation, leakage current remains below 1 µA at 23.1 V, resulting in negligible steady-state power. Heatsinking is unnecessary unless subjected to frequent high-duty-cycle surges, which is outside its design envelope.
What does the "HM3/84A" suffix indicate in TPSMP27AHM3/84A?
The "HM3" suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The "/84A" specifies the packaging: 3000-piece quantity on 7-inch plastic tape-and-reel with industry-standard SMP carrier tape dimensions - enabling seamless integration into high-speed SMT pick-and-place lines without reel changeovers.
How does TPSMP27AHM3/84A perform under high-temperature operating conditions?
The TPSMP27AHM3/84A maintains full specification compliance up to TJ = 185 °C, with VBR exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +0.096 %/°C. At 150 °C junction temperature, reverse leakage remains ≤1 µA at VWM, and clamping voltage increases only marginally - ensuring reliable protection in under-hood environments where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C.
