Product details
Overview
TPSMP33A-E3/84A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, designed for automotive-grade overvoltage protection. It features a breakdown voltage range of 31.4 V to 34.7 V at 1 mA test current, clamps up to 45.7 V at 8.8 A peak pulse current, and delivers 400 W peak pulse power with 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation - used to protect sensor signal lines and drive transistors in engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP33A-E3/84A datasheet, TPSMP33A-E3/84A pinout, TPSMP33A-E3/84A application, or TPSMP33A-E3/84A equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C max junction temperature, low-profile 1.0 mm height, and 1.0 µA reverse leakage at 28.2 V standoff voltage.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs patented PAR oxide passivated chip construction for stable clamping under repetitive surge stress. Its unidirectional configuration supports DC-biased signal line protection with fast response time and low incremental surge resistance.
Designed for surface-mount placement on PCBs with 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal, it meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020C and withstands solder dip at 260 °C for 40 seconds - confirming suitability for high-reliability automotive assembly processes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage V(BR) | 31.4 V min to 34.7 V max at 1 mA - defines precise voltage threshold for avalanche conduction onset |
| Standoff Voltage VWM | 28.2 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage |
| Clamping Voltage VC | 45.7 V at 8.8 A IPPM - limits transient-induced voltage seen by protected IC or transistor |
| Peak Pulse Power PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs waveform) - determines surge energy handling capability |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 1.0 µA at VWM - ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity in high-impedance circuits |
| Junction Temperature Range | -65 °C to +185 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-220AA (SMP), ultra-low-profile surface-mount case with matte tin-plated leads; cathode denoted by color band; epoxy meets UL-94V-0.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry during forward conduction | Connected to lower-potential side of protected line; enables unidirectional clamping |
| Cathode | Current exit during forward conduction; avalanche node during reverse surge | Marked by color band; ties to higher-potential rail or signal reference for transient shunting |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ33A-E3/5AT | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 33 V V(BR); 400 W PPPM; 1.0 µA IR at 26.7 V | Larger 2.3 mm height; lower thermal performance on same PCB pad size | Choose when legacy SMA footprint exists and height constraint is relaxed |
| TPSMA6.8A-Q | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q101); DO-214AC; 6.8 V V(BR); 400 W PPPM; 100 µA IR at 5.8 V | Lower voltage rating; not suitable for 28.2 V standoff requirement of TPSMP33A-E3/84A | Select only for sub-12 V signal line protection where clamping level must be <12 V |
Compared with SMAJ33A-E3/5AT and TPSMA6.8A-Q, the TPSMP33A-E3/84A provides identical 400 W surge capability but in a 1.0 mm low-profile DO-220AA package optimized for automated placement and high-density automotive PCBs - making it preferable where board space and thermal management under constrained height are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TPSMP33A-E3/84A under standard test conditions?
The TPSMP33A-E3/84A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 45.7 V when subjected to an 8.8 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform at TA = 25 °C. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and reflects the upper limit of voltage imposed on protected circuitry during surge events - critical for ensuring compatibility with downstream 48 V-tolerant interfaces in automotive systems.
Is the TPSMP33A-E3/84A qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMP33A-E3/84A carries the E3 suffix indicating commercial-grade qualification, and belongs to the TPSMP family which is fully AEC-Q101 qualified in its HE3 variant. While the E3 version shares identical electrical specifications and DO-220AA packaging with the HE3 part, it is widely deployed in automotive subsystems including ECUs and BCMs where full AEC-Q101 certification is not mandated but robust surge performance is required.
What does the "/84A" in TPSMP33A-E3/84A indicate?
The "/84A" suffix in TPSMP33A-E3/84A specifies the preferred package code per Vishay's ordering nomenclature, corresponding to a 7-inch diameter plastic tape-and-reel delivery format containing 3000 units. This packaging supports high-speed pick-and-place assembly and is compatible with standard SMT feeders used in automotive electronics manufacturing lines.
How does the DO-220AA package of the TPSMP33A-E3/84A compare thermally to DO-214AC?
The DO-220AA (SMP) package of the TPSMP33A-E3/84A offers superior thermal performance versus DO-214AC due to its larger copper pad interface area and optimized internal thermal path - enabling higher sustained power dissipation on equivalent PCB layouts. With 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal, it achieves better heat spreading than the narrower DO-214AC footprint, supporting reliable operation at 185 °C junction temperature.
Can the TPSMP33A-E3/84A be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the TPSMP33A-E3/84A is strictly unidirectional and must be oriented with cathode toward the higher-potential side of the protected line. Bidirectional protection requires two devices in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as the SMBJ33CA. Using TPSMP33A-E3/84A in reverse polarity will result in forward conduction and failure under normal operating voltage.
