Product details
Overview
TPSMP33AHM3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the eSMP® Series, designed for high-reliability overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 31.4 V to 34.7 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 45.7 V clamping voltage (VC) at 8.8 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power rating, and operates up to +185 °C junction temperature - ideal for automotive power line and sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP33AHM3/85A datasheet, TPSMP33AHM3/85A pinout, TPSMP33AHM3/85A application, or TPSMP33AHM3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, DO-220AA (SMP) package compatibility with automated placement, AEC-Q101 qualification, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and low-profile 1.0 mm height for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD, lightning-induced surges, and inductive switching transients. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction path during overvoltage events while maintaining low leakage (<1 μA at VWM = 28.2 V) under normal operation.
The device is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) and dissipates 2.5 W continuously at 75 °C ambient on infinite heatsink. Thermal design must account for derating above 25 °C per Fig. 2, and PCB layout requires 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal to meet specified PPPM ratings.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 31.4 V / 34.7 V - ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage (28.2 V VWM) without false clamping |
| VC @ IPPM | 45.7 V at 8.8 A - limits protected circuit voltage during 10/1000 µs surge to safe levels for 3.3 V–24 V ICs |
| PPPM | 400 W - supports robust protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a and IEC 61000-4-5 surges |
| IFSM | 40 A - withstands repetitive load dump events common in 12 V automotive systems |
| TJ max | +185 °C - enables deployment in engine bay and under-hood applications without thermal derating penalties |
| Package | DO-220AA (SMP) - 1.0 mm profile allows placement beneath connectors and in tight board-to-board spaces |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - meets stress test requirements for automotive electronic components including HTOL, TCT, and ESD |
Pinout & Package
TPSMP33AHM3/85A is housed in a surface-mount DO-220AA (SMP) package with cathode indicated by a color band. The two-terminal construction supports simple series connection across protected lines. Leads are matte tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input/line side of protected circuit | Connected to signal or power line requiring transient suppression; conducts during reverse-biased overvoltage |
| Cathode | Return/GND side of protected circuit | Marked with color band; ties to system ground or lower-potential rail to complete clamping path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Passivated anisotropic rectifier technology | Enables stable VBR tolerance (±5 %) and low dynamic impedance for consistent clamping performance across temperature |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Supports standard lead-free reflow without preconditioning or special handling |
| Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant | Meets environmental compliance requirements for automotive and industrial end equipment |
| Low-profile 1.0 mm height | Reduces mechanical interference with mating connectors and shields in stacked PCB assemblies |
| Junction temperature rating +185 °C | Eliminates need for thermal derating in under-hood environments where ambient exceeds 125 °C |
Applications
| Automotive Power Line Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V battery-fed ECUs from load dump and jump-start transients per ISO 7637-2. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between power rail and chassis ground to clamp surges before reaching DC/DC converters and microcontrollers. Use Value: Withstands 40 A IFSM and 400 W PPPM, ensuring survival through repeated 35 V/100 ms load dump pulses without degradation. | Use Scenario: Shielding analog output lines (e.g., 4–20 mA current loop) from ESD and cable discharge events in factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS connected across signal and return lines to divert sub-100 ns ESD strikes away from precision op-amps and ADC front-ends. Use Value: 45.7 V clamping voltage prevents damage to 24 V-rated signal conditioning ICs while maintaining <1 μA leakage at 28.2 V stand-off. |
| Consumer USB Port Protection | Telecom Power Feeding Circuit |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding USB-C VBUS lines in portable docking stations exposed to hot-plug and adapter fault conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed inline with VBUS to absorb 8 kV contact ESD (IEC 61000-4-2) and 10/1000 µs surges from faulty AC adapters. Use Value: Fast response time and 1.0 mm profile allow integration directly at connector footprint without compromising mechanical clearance. | Use Scenario: Protecting PoE-powered devices (e.g., IP cameras) from induced surges on 48 V DC feeding lines in outdoor installations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS installed across input terminals of PD controller ICs to limit transient energy entering IEEE 802.3af/at compliant circuits. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification and +185 °C TJ rating ensure long-term reliability in unventilated enclosures subject to solar heating. |
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-E3/57T | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 33 V VBR min/max = 36.7–40.4 V; 300 W PPPM; 1.9 mm height | Lower power rating and taller profile limit use in space-constrained automotive modules | Select when legacy SMA footprint compatibility is required and 300 W surge capacity suffices |
| TPSMA6.8A-Q | Same DO-220AA package but 6.8 V VBR; 300 W PPPM; AEC-Q101 qualified; 1.0 mm height | Designed for low-voltage logic and data lines, not 24–48 V power rails | Choose only for sub-12 V signal-level protection where lower clamping voltage is critical |
Compared with SMAJ33A-E3/57T and TPSMA6.8A-Q, the TPSMP33AHM3/85A delivers higher 400 W surge capability in the same low-profile DO-220AA footprint, making it optimal for next-generation automotive and industrial power rail protection where both space and ruggedness are constrained.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for TPSMP33AHM3/85A?
The TPSMP33AHM3/85A has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 31.4 V to 34.7 V at 1.0 mA test current, as specified in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88471. This ±5 % tolerance ensures precise triggering above the 28.2 V maximum stand-off voltage (VWM) while avoiding premature conduction during normal operation.
Is TPSMP33AHM3/85A suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No, the TPSMP33AHM3/85A is a unidirectional TVS diode and must be used only in applications where polarity is fixed - such as DC power rails or single-ended analog outputs. For bidirectional protection (e.g., RS-485, USB D+/D−), a dedicated bidirectional variant like TPSMP33AHM3/85A's counterpart with symmetrical clamping is required; this part does not provide reverse-direction surge suppression.
Does TPSMP33AHM3/85A require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes - to achieve its rated 400 W peak pulse power, the TPSMP33AHM3/85A must be mounted on FR-4 PCB with 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads attached to each terminal, as defined in the datasheet. Smaller pads reduce heat dissipation and cause premature failure under surge conditions; thermal vias under pads are recommended for high-reliability automotive deployments.
What does the "HM3/85A" suffix indicate in TPSMP33AHM3/85A?
The "HM3" denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance; "85A" specifies packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with 10,000 units per reel. This differs from "84A" (7-inch reel, 3000 units) and confirms full compliance with automotive supply chain traceability requirements.
How does TPSMP33AHM3/85A perform under high-temperature operating conditions?
The TPSMP33AHM3/85A maintains full functionality up to +185 °C junction temperature and is characterized for derated surge performance above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in the datasheet. At 125 °C board temperature, its 400 W PPPM rating remains usable for short-duration transients, supporting deployment in engine control modules without external heatsinking.
