Overview
TPSMP27AHM3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the PAR® family, designed for high-reliability automotive and industrial overvoltage protection. It features a 25.7 V to 28.4 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 23.1 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 37.5 V clamping voltage at 10.7 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and operates up to +185 °C junction temperature. It protects signal lines and drive transistors in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP27AHM3_A/H datasheet, TPSMP27AHM3_A/H pinout, TPSMP27AHM3_A/H application, or TPSMP27AHM3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, SMP (DO-220AA) package with 1.0 mm profile, unidirectional polarity, low incremental surge resistance, and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility.
Technical Context
The TPSMP27AHM3_A/H employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for high-power-density transient suppression. Its junction passivation enables stable operation at TJ = 185 °C, supporting under-hood automotive environments where thermal robustness is critical.
It delivers fast response time and excellent clamping performance with low incremental surge resistance, ensuring minimal voltage overshoot during ESD or load-dump events. The device is rated for 10/1000 µs waveform testing per IEC 61000-4-5 and meets JESD22-B102 whisker resistance Class 2.

Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial Motor Drive Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog output lines of pressure, temperature, and position sensors in engine control modules exposed to ISO 16750-2 jump-start and load-dump transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between sensor output and microcontroller ADC input to clamp surges before they reach sensitive analog front-end circuitry. Use Value: Limits clamped voltage to ≤37.5 V at 10.7 A, preventing latch-up or damage to 3.3 V or 5 V ADC inputs while maintaining signal integrity below VWM = 23.1 V. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding gate drive signals and feedback lines in 24 V industrial motor inverters subject to IGBT switching noise and inductive kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS mounted at PCB edge connectors and gate driver IC outputs to absorb fast-rising transients (<1 ns rise time) induced by high dV/dt switching. Use Value: Fast response time and low incremental surge resistance ensure sub-40 V clamping during 10/1000 µs surges, preserving gate oxide integrity and preventing false turn-on of power devices. |
| Automotive Body Control Unit (BCU) | Automotive LIN Bus Line Protection |
Use Scenario: Overvoltage protection for 12 V supply rails and switch inputs in door modules, seat controllers, and lighting control units subjected to battery reversal and load dump. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary TVS on main VBAT input rail and local 5 V regulator inputs to absorb energy from 40 V/400 ms load dump pulses per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. Use Value: 400 W peak pulse power rating and 40 A IFSM enable single-device compliance with automotive load dump immunity without parallel staging. | Use Scenario: Protecting LIN transceiver pins (LIN_H/L) against ESD (IEC 61000-4-2 ±8 kV contact) and coupled transients in vehicle wiring harnesses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS connected between LIN_H and ground to shunt ESD current away from transceiver ESD structures while maintaining bus DC bias. Use Value: Low leakage (<1 µA at VWM) avoids signal distortion on 12 V biased LIN bus; 1.0 mm height allows placement adjacent to connector footprints without interference. |
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 | Lower PPPM (400 W → 400 W same), but higher VC (45.4 V vs. 37.5 V), larger SMA package (2.2 mm height) | Less effective clamping margin for 24 V systems; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select TPSMP27AHM3_A/H when automotive qualification, lower clamping, or space-constrained layouts are required. |
| TPSMA6.8A | Same family but lower VBR (6.45–7.14 V); PPPM = 250 W; smaller SMA package | Designed for 5 V logic rails, not 24 V automotive supply lines | Choose TPSMP27AHM3_A/H for 24 V systems requiring ≥400 W surge handling and AEC-Q101 compliance. |
Compared with SMAJ28A and TPSMA6.8A, the TPSMP27AHM3_A/H provides superior clamping performance at 24 V nominal systems, guaranteed automotive qualification, and a 1.0 mm low-profile package-enabling tighter layout integration and higher thermal reliability in under-hood modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TPSMP27AHM3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMP27AHM3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 37.5 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 10.7 A under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value ensures protected downstream components-such as microcontrollers or transceivers-experience no more than 37.5 V during surge events, well within safe operating limits for 24 V system interfaces. The TPSMP27AHM3_A/H achieves this with low incremental surge resistance and optimized junction passivation.
Is the TPSMP27AHM3_A/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMP27AHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature. It meets automotive reliability requirements including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock testing. Its HM3 suffix confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance-making the TPSMP27AHM3_A/H suitable for engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS sensor protection.
What package type does the TPSMP27AHM3_A/H use, and what are its key mechanical advantages?
The TPSMP27AHM3_A/H uses the SMP (DO-220AA) package: a surface-mount case measuring 3.61 mm × 2.18 mm × 1.0 mm with a cathode band marking. Its 1.0 mm height enables ultra-low-profile placement in space-constrained modules like camera ECU housings. The matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD22-B102 whisker resistance Class 2, and it is rated MSL Level 1 for lead-free reflow up to 260 °C.
How does the TPSMP27AHM3_A/H compare to standard SMA-package TVS diodes in terms of surge handling?
The TPSMP27AHM3_A/H delivers 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) in a 1.0 mm height package-matching or exceeding many SMA devices while occupying less board area and offering better thermal performance due to optimized die attachment. Unlike standard SMA parts, the TPSMP27AHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and features junction passivation for stable VBR at high temperature, making it more robust for automotive under-hood deployment than generic SMA alternatives.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the TPSMP27AHM3_A/H at its stand-off voltage?
At its stand-off voltage (VWM) of 23.1 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C, the TPSMP27AHM3_A/H exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 µA. At elevated junction temperature (TJ = 150 °C), leakage remains ≤5.0 µA-ensuring minimal power loss and signal distortion in always-on automotive circuits. This low leakage supports reliable operation in battery-sensitive applications such as LIN bus nodes and sensor wake-up circuits.
