Product details
Overview
TPSMP33HM3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, designed for high-reliability automotive and industrial surge protection. It features 33 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 29.7–36.3 V), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 8.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 26.8 V stand-off voltage (VWM), and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood electronics.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP33HM3/85A datasheet, TPSMP33HM3/85A pinout, TPSMP33HM3/85A application, or TPSMP33HM3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (VC = 47.7 V at IPPM), low-profile height (1.0 mm), MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and ±5 % VBR tolerance confirmed for the "A" variant suffix.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to achieve fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction capability with 2.5 V max forward voltage at 25 A, enabling robust overvoltage clamping on DC-biased lines such as automotive power rails and sensor supply inputs.
The device operates across -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range and is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM). Its DO-220AA package supports automated placement and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, with matte tin-plated terminals compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ33A-E3/5AT | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 33 V VBR, 400 W PPPM, but 1.8 mm height and lower IPPM (7.5 A) | Larger footprint and height limit use in ultra-thin automotive modules | Choose when existing SMA layout exists and 1.0 mm height is not required |
| TPSMA6.8A-Q | AEC-Q101 qualified, but 6.8 V VBR; same DO-220AA package, 300 W PPPM, 11.5 A IPPM | Designed for 5 V logic rails, not 24–36 V systems requiring TPSMP33HM3/85A's higher VWM | Choose only for lower-voltage domains where 26.8 V stand-off is insufficient |
Compared with SMAJ33A-E3/5AT and TPSMA6.8A-Q, the TPSMP33HM3/85A delivers superior height efficiency (1.0 mm vs. 2.3 mm), higher surge current headroom (8.4 A vs. 7.5 A), and optimal 26.8 V stand-off for 24 V automotive systems-making it the preferred choice where space, temperature, and voltage alignment are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for TPSMP33HM3/85A?
The TPSMP33HM3/85A has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 29.7 V to 36.3 V at 10 mA test current, per the "A" variant specification in Vishay document 88471. This ±5 % tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports robust design margins for 24 V nominal systems.
Is TPSMP33HM3/85A suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, the TPSMP33HM3/85A is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature. Its DO-220AA package, passivated die, and 185 °C rating make it suitable for engine control units, transmission controllers, and other under-hood locations where thermal and reliability demands are highest.
What does the "HM3/85A" suffix indicate in TPSMP33HM3/85A?
The "HM3" denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified construction with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The "/85A" specifies packaging in 13-inch plastic tape and reel with 10,000 units per reel-distinct from /84A (7-inch reel, 3,000 units) and critical for automated SMT line planning.
How does the clamping voltage of TPSMP33HM3/85A compare to its stand-off voltage?
The TPSMP33HM3/85A has a stand-off voltage (VWM) of 26.8 V and a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 47.7 V at 8.4 A. This 20.9 V differential provides a 1.2× safety margin above typical 24 V automotive transients (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a), ensuring protected ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings during surge events.
Can TPSMP33HM3/85A be used in bidirectional signal protection?
No, the TPSMP33HM3/85A is strictly unidirectional and must be oriented with cathode toward the positive rail. For bidirectional protection (e.g., data lines), a separate symmetric TVS array or dual-diode configuration is required-this part is intended for DC-biased power and supply-line protection only.
