Product details
Overview
TPSMP30AHM3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, designed for high-reliability overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features 30 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR = 28.5–31.5 V), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 9.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps to ≤41.4 V at rated surge - used in automotive sensor signal lines, industrial I/O ports, and power supply rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP30AHM3/85A datasheet, TPSMP30AHM3/85A pinout, TPSMP30AHM3/85A application, or TPSMP30AHM3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C junction temperature rating, low-profile 1.0 mm height, and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility - critical for automotive-grade PCB designs requiring robust ESD/surge immunity.
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 (IEC 61000-4-2) and lightning-induced transients (IEC 61000-4-5). Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction capability while clamping reverse surges above VWM = 25.6 V.
Thermally rated for TJ = –65 °C to +185 °C and qualified per AEC-Q101, the device supports high-reliability deployment in under-hood automotive modules and industrial controllers where thermal cycling and long-term stability are essential. The DO-220AA package enables automated placement with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial I/O Port Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN/CAN bus nodes and analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) in engine control modules against load dump and ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between signal line and chassis ground to clamp transients before reaching MCU or transceiver inputs. Use Value: Clamps to ≤41.4 V at 9.7 A surge, preserving signal integrity and preventing latch-up in AEC-Q100 qualified microcontrollers. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding digital input/output channels on PLC modules exposed to inductive switching noise and field wiring surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff protection element mounted directly at connector entry point to shunt energy before entering isolation barriers or logic buffers. Use Value: 400 W peak power rating handles repetitive 10/1000 µs transients per IEC 61000-4-4, reducing need for secondary protection stages. |
| 24 V Power Rail Protection | Consumer Device USB/DC Jack Protection |
Use Scenario: Secondary overvoltage protection on 24 V DC input rails of industrial gateways and PoE-powered equipment subjected to ISO 7637-2 pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS that activates only during overvoltage events, maintaining low quiescent current during normal operation. Use Value: VWM = 25.6 V ensures no conduction during nominal 24 V ±10 % operation while responding within nanoseconds to transients. | Use Scenario: ESD protection for USB Type-C receptacles and barrel jack inputs in smart home hubs and portable test instruments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line defense against human-body-model (HBM) and contact-discharge ESD events per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±8 kV). Use Value: Low capacitance (typ. <100 pF) avoids signal degradation on high-speed data lines while providing ≥30 kV air discharge immunity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ30A | Same VBR range (28.5–31.5 V), but SMA package (2.5 mm height); lower PPPM = 400 W same, but higher thermal resistance due to larger footprint | Less suitable for ultra-low-profile automotive modules; better for manual repair or legacy layouts with SMA footprints | Select SMAJ30A only if DO-220AA placement equipment is unavailable or board stack height allows 2.5 mm profile |
| TPSMP30AHE3/85A | Identical electrical specs and DO-220AA package; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (85A vs. HE3 suffix denotes different reel size and carrier tape specification) | No functional difference; identical performance and mounting - purely logistics variant | TPSMP30AHE3/85A is functionally interchangeable but requires verification of reel compatibility with pick-and-place feeders |
Compared with SMAJ30A and TPSMP30AHE3/85A, the TPSMP30AHM3/85A offers optimal balance of ultra-low profile (1.0 mm), AEC-Q101 qualification, and standardized 13" tape-and-reel delivery - making it preferred for high-volume automotive SMT production where board height and reliability are prioritized over legacy footprint reuse.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for TPSMP30AHM3/85A?
The TPSMP30AHM3/85A has a specified breakdown voltage range of 28.5 V to 31.5 V at 1 mA test current, corresponding to a ±5 % tolerance. This tight VBR window ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports precise coordination with downstream overvoltage thresholds in protected circuits. The value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards.
Is TPSMP30AHM3/85A suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, TPSMP30AHM3/85A is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for TJ = –65 °C to +185 °C, making it suitable for under-hood and cabin automotive applications including engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS sensor interfaces. Its DO-220AA package supports automated assembly in high-reliability automotive PCB manufacturing.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TPSMP30AHM3/85A at its rated surge current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of TPSMP30AHM3/85A is 41.4 V when subjected to its rated 10/1000 µs peak pulse current of 9.7 A. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events and is critical for ensuring compatibility with 3.3 V or 5 V logic interfaces downstream of the protection stage.
Does TPSMP30AHM3/85A have a bidirectional configuration option?
No, TPSMP30AHM3/85A is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet. It conducts in forward bias and clamps reverse transients above VWM. For bidirectional protection, engineers must select alternate part numbers such as TPSMP30AHM3/85A's counterpart in the bidirectional TPSMB series - not a drop-in replacement for TPSMP30AHM3/85A.
What packaging format does TPSMP30AHM3/85A ship in?
TPSMP30AHM3/85A ships in 13-inch diameter plastic tape-and-reel format with a base quantity of 10,000 units per reel (package code "85A"). The HM3 suffix indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, meeting automotive and industrial environmental compliance requirements.
