Product details
Overview
TPSMP27HM3/85A 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 24.3 V to 29.7 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 39.1 V clamping voltage (VC) at 10.2 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood electronics.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP27HM3/85A datasheet, TPSMP27HM3/85A pinout, TPSMP27HM3/85A application, or TPSMP27HM3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 1.0 mm profile height, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, 185 °C junction temperature capability, 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 and ISO 7637-2. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction path only during overvoltage events, supporting DC-biased signal and power line protection.
The device operates across -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range and delivers stable clamping performance up to 150 °C ambient, with 0.100 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR. It is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) and dissipates 2.5 W continuously at 75 °C on infinite heatsink.

The TPSMP27HM3/85A has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 24.3 V to 29.7 V at 1 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This range ensures consistent avalanche initiation across production lots and temperature extremes, and is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88471, page 2. The device is marked "BNP" on its body per the ordering table.
Is the TPSMP27HM3/85A suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMP27HM3/85A is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications including engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS power supplies. Its DO-220AA package meets MSL Level 1 and supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C.
What is the clamping voltage of the TPSMP27HM3/85A at its rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMP27HM3/85A clamps to a maximum of 39.1 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 10.2 A under a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 and Table on page 2 of the Vishay datasheet 88471 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events.
Does the TPSMP27HM3/85A have unidirectional or bidirectional polarity?
The TPSMP27HM3/85A is a unidirectional TVS diode, as explicitly stated in the Features section of the Vishay datasheet. Polarity is indicated by a cathode band; it conducts only when the cathode is biased positively relative to the anode, making it appropriate for DC-biased lines like power rails and signal outputs.
What packaging option does the TPSMP27HM3/85A use, and what is its reel size?
The TPSMP27HM3/85A is supplied in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel format, with base package code "85A" and base quantity of 10,000 units per reel. This packaging supports high-speed automated placement and complies with EIA-481 standards, as documented in the Ordering Information section of Vishay document 88471.
