Product details
Overview
TPSMP30AHM3_A/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the eSMP® Series, designed for high-reliability automotive and industrial overvoltage protection. It features a 28.5 V to 31.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 25.6 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 400 W peak pulse power (PPPM), 9.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 185 °C maximum junction temperature - deployed to protect signal lines and drive transistors in engine control units and ADAS sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP30AHM3_A/I datasheet, TPSMP30AHM3_A/I pinout, TPSMP30AHM3_A/I application, or TPSMP30AHM3_A/I equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-220AA (SMP) package with 1.0 mm profile, unidirectional polarity, low incremental surge resistance, and clamping voltage of 41.4 V at rated IPPM.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to deliver fast response time (<1 ns), low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.35), and stable performance up to 185 °C junction temperature. Its unidirectional configuration enables robust protection against positive-going transients on DC-biased lines.
The device operates with 1.0 μA max reverse leakage at VWM, 2.5 V max forward voltage at 25 A, and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. Its SMP (DO-220AA) package supports automated placement and provides thermal dissipation via 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm PCB copper pads per terminal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 28.5 V / 31.5 V - defines reliable avalanche initiation threshold under 10 mA test current |
| VWM | 25.6 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 μA |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability with 10/1000 μs waveform, enabling protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a |
| IPPM | 9.7 A - peak surge current supported at clamping voltage, validated with derating above 25 °C |
| VC @ IPPM | 41.4 V - clamped voltage during full-rated surge, limiting stress on downstream ICs |
| TJ max | 185 °C - extended junction temperature rating supporting under-hood automotive deployment |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - suitable for DC-biased signal or power rail protection with cathode band marking |

IC Role / Device Role: Low-capacitance unidirectional clamp on bidirectional data lines referenced to 3.3 V supply. Use Value: 1.0 μA leakage at VWM avoids signal integrity degradation; 1.0 mm height enables co-placement with 0402 passives. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ30A | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 30 V VBR min; 400 W PPPM; 175 °C TJ max; higher profile (2.29 mm) | Less suitable for ultra-thin modules; requires larger pad layout; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Preferred where legacy SMA footprint exists and automotive qualification is not required |
| TPSMA6.8A | Same SMP package; lower VBR (6.45–7.14 V); 250 W PPPM; identical AEC-Q101 and MSL Level 1 ratings | Designed for 5 V rail protection; insufficient clamping margin for 12 V/24 V systems | Select only for sub-10 V applications requiring same form factor and automotive compliance |
Compared with SMAJ30A and TPSMA6.8A, the TPSMP30AHM3_A/I delivers superior thermal robustness (185 °C vs. 175 °C), lower profile (1.0 mm vs. 2.29 mm), and guaranteed AEC-Q101 compliance - making it the optimal choice for next-generation automotive and space-constrained industrial designs requiring high-power-density transient suppression.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TPSMP30AHM3_A/I?
The TPSMP30AHM3_A/I has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 28.5 V to 31.5 V at 10 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This range ensures consistent avalanche initiation across production lots and temperature extremes, directly supporting design margining for 24 V automotive systems. The TPSMP30AHM3_A/I maintains this specification under full AEC-Q101 stress testing.
Is the TPSMP30AHM3_A/I suitable for 24 V automotive power rail protection?
Yes, the TPSMP30AHM3_A/I is explicitly qualified for 24 V system protection: its 25.6 V stand-off voltage (VWM) provides >10 % margin above nominal 24 V, while its 41.4 V clamping voltage (VC) stays well below the 45 V absolute maximum rating of most 24 V-rated MCUs and power ICs. The TPSMP30AHM3_A/I is AEC-Q101 certified and rated for 185 °C operation - meeting under-hood requirements.
Does the TPSMP30AHM3_A/I have a bidirectional configuration option?
No, the TPSMP30AHM3_A/I is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 25-Apr-2022. It is designed for DC-biased lines where transients occur in one polarity - such as positive-going spikes on 12 V or 24 V rails. For AC or bipolar signal line protection, engineers must select a separate bidirectional variant (e.g., TPSMP30CA) or use back-to-back unidirectional devices.
What is the mounting pad layout recommendation for the TPSMP30AHM3_A/I?
Vishay specifies a 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad per terminal for optimal thermal and surge performance. The TPSMP30AHM3_A/I datasheet (Fig. 6, page 3) confirms this layout enables full 400 W PPPM rating at 25 °C ambient. Smaller pads reduce surge capability and increase junction temperature - the TPSMP30AHM3_A/I must be routed with minimum 0.5 mm solder mask defined clearance and internal ground plane connection for best results.
How does the TPSMP30AHM3_A/I compare to standard SMA-package TVS diodes in thermal performance?
The TPSMP30AHM3_A/I achieves 185 °C maximum junction temperature - 10 °C higher than typical SMA-package TVS diodes like SMAJ30A (175 °C). Its SMP (DO-220AA) package also offers lower thermal resistance due to optimized copper slug construction and shorter internal bond wires. In practice, the TPSMP30AHM3_A/I sustains higher average power dissipation in confined spaces, making it preferable for thermally aggressive automotive and industrial deployments.
