Product details
Overview
TPSMP27AHM3/85A 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, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and operates up to +185 °C junction temperature - ideal for automotive power line and sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP27AHM3/85A datasheet, TPSMP27AHM3/85A pinout, TPSMP27AHM3/85A application, or TPSMP27AHM3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-220AA (SMP) package with 1.0 mm profile, low incremental surge resistance, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity rating for robust automated assembly.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for fast response (<1 ns) and stable clamping under repetitive surge events. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction capability while suppressing reverse transients, with thermal design validated for operation at TJ = 185 °C on standard FR-4 PCBs using 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal.
The device meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (260 °C reflow peak), supporting automotive-grade reliability without derating in harsh environments. Its 0.096 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient ensures predictable voltage threshold stability across wide operating ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 25.7 V / 28.4 V - defines precise reverse breakdown threshold for accurate overvoltage triggering |
| VC @ IPPM | 37.5 V at 10.7 A - limits maximum protected-line voltage during 10/1000 µs surge |
| PPPM | 400 W - sustains high-energy transients common in automotive load-dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses |
| VWM | 23.1 V - ensures reliable blocking of normal operating voltage with margin before clamping |
| IR @ VWM | 1.0 µA - minimizes standby leakage in battery-powered or low-power sensor circuits |
| TJ max | +185 °C - enables placement near hot components (e.g., power MOSFETs, DC/DC converters) without derating |
| Package | DO-220AA (SMP) - ultra-low-profile 1.0 mm height supports dense PCB layouts and automated pick-and-place |
Pinout & Package
TPSMP27AHM3/85A is a two-terminal unidirectional TVS diode in the DO-220AA (SMP) surface-mount package. The cathode is marked by a color band on the body; polarity must be observed during PCB layout to ensure correct transient suppression direction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction path | Connects to lower-potential side (e.g., GND or signal return); conducts during positive surges when used in reverse-biased protection |
| Cathode | Clamping node | Connects to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail or sensor input); initiates avalanche breakdown when voltage exceeds VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C) | Enables single-pass reflow without baking, reducing manufacturing cost and process complexity |
| 185 °C junction rating | Eliminates thermal derating in under-hood environments and high-power industrial enclosures |
| 0.096 %/°C VBR tempco | Ensures ±3.5 % VBR shift over -40 °C to +150 °C ambient, critical for precision protection thresholds |
| Low-profile 1.0 mm height | Reduces board-level mechanical stress and improves shock/vibration resilience in mobile and automotive systems |
Applications

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 only rated to +150 °C TJ | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and 185 °C rating; unsuitable for under-hood automotive use | Select SMAJ28A only for cost-sensitive industrial or consumer designs where extended temperature range is not required |
| TPSMA6.8A | Lower VBR (6.45–7.14 V), same eSMP® platform, but 300 W PPPM and 26.5 V VC; smaller 0.9 mm height | Designed for 5 V/3.3 V logic rails, not 24 V systems; insufficient clamping headroom for TPSMP27AHM3/85A's target voltage range | Choose TPSMA6.8A only for low-voltage digital I/O protection where space is more constrained than power handling |
Compared with SMAJ28A and TPSMA6.8A, TPSMP27AHM3/85A uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, +185 °C operation, and 400 W surge capacity in a 1.0 mm profile - making it the only option among the three suitable for high-reliability 24 V automotive power line protection.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for TPSMP27AHM3/85A?
The TPSMP27AHM3/85A has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 25.7 V to 28.4 V at 1.0 mA test current, as specified in the Vishay datasheet revision 22-Jul-16. This tight tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and temperature extremes, critical for protecting 24 V systems where overvoltage margins are narrow.
Is TPSMP27AHM3/85A suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, TPSMP27AHM3/85A is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for continuous operation up to +185 °C junction temperature, making it fully suitable for under-hood automotive applications such as engine control modules, transmission control units, and ADAS sensor hubs where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C.
What does the "HM3/85A" suffix mean in TPSMP27AHM3/85A?
The "HM3" denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance; "85A" specifies packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with a base quantity of 10,000 units - optimized for high-volume SMT assembly lines requiring minimal changeover and verified moisture sensitivity compliance (MSL Level 1).
How does TPSMP27AHM3/85A compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in the same package?
TPSMP27AHM3/85A is unidirectional and optimized for DC power line protection where polarity is fixed; it offers lower leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and higher surge capability (400 W) than comparable bidirectional devices. Bidirectional variants like TPSMP27AHM3/85A-B would sacrifice leakage performance and clamping precision for AC or floating-line applications - which TPSMP27AHM3/85A does not support.
Can TPSMP27AHM3/85A replace older SMAJ28A parts in existing designs?
TPSMP27AHM3/85A is not a direct pin-compatible replacement for SMAJ28A due to different package footprints (DO-220AA vs. DO-214AC). While both offer 400 W surge rating, TPSMP27AHM3/85A requires PCB layout revision to accommodate its smaller 2.54 mm lead pitch and 1.0 mm height - but delivers superior thermal performance and automotive qualification that SMAJ28A lacks.
