Product details

Overview

TPSMP36AHM3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, designed for high-reliability automotive and industrial overvoltage protection. It features a 34.2 V to 37.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 30.8 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 52.0 V clamping voltage (VC) at 8.0 A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood applications.

For engineers reviewing the TPSMP36AHM3/85A datasheet, TPSMP36AHM3/85A pinout, TPSMP36AHM3/85A application, or TPSMP36AHM3/85A equivalent, this device delivers verified 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 185 °C junction temperature capability, low-profile 1.0 mm height, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity - critical for automated SMT assembly in harsh-environment electronics.

Technical Context

The TPSMP36AHM3/85A employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for fast response time and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional configuration enables robust reverse-biased clamping during transients while maintaining low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) across its operating temperature range.

Designed for PCB-mounted protection with 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal, it sustains 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) and operates reliably from –65 °C to +185 °C. The device meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing and UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements via halogen-free molding compound.

Key Specifications

ParameterValue and Actual Design Meaning
VBR (min/max)34.2 V / 37.8 V - ensures precise triggering above normal 24 V system rail with ±5 % tolerance
VWM30.8 V - blocks normal operating voltage while allowing margin before clamping onset
VC @ IPPM49.9 V at 8.0 A - limits downstream IC voltage stress during 10/1000 µs surge events
PPPM400 W - supports high-energy transients common in automotive load-dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses
TJ max+185 °C - enables placement near heat sources (e.g., power modules, ECUs) without derating

Applications

Automotive Power DistributionIndustrial Sensor Interface Protection

Use Scenario: Protecting 24 V supply inputs of body control modules (BCM) against load dump and jump-start surges per ISO 16750-2.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between battery rail and DC-DC input to clamp transients before LDOs or PMICs.

Use Value: Withstands 400 W peak pulse power and 185 °C operation, enabling direct placement on high-temp PCB zones near fuse boxes.

Use Scenario: Safeguarding analog outputs of pressure/temperature sensors in factory automation PLC I/O modules.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-biased clamping element on 4–20 mA current loop lines to absorb ESD and inductive switching spikes.

Use Value: Sub-1 µA leakage at 30.8 V VWM prevents signal offset errors; DO-220AA footprint fits tight 2.54 mm pitch terminal blocks.

Automotive Lighting Driver ProtectionIndustrial Motor Drive Gate Control

Use Scenario: Shielding LED driver ICs in adaptive front lighting systems (AFS) from alternator ripple and relay coil flyback.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response TVS on high-side switch output to limit voltage overshoot during PWM turn-off.

Use Value: 49.9 V clamping at 8.0 A ensures MOSFET drain voltage stays below 60 V rating during 10/1000 µs transients.

Use Scenario: Protecting isolated gate drivers in servo motor inverters from dv/dt-induced coupling and bus transients.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamping component on gate drive supply rails (e.g., 15 V bias) to prevent driver latch-up or bootstrap capacitor overvoltage.

Use Value: 30.8 V VWM provides 2× margin over 15 V rail; 1.0 mm height avoids interference with adjacent gate driver ICs.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.

Alternative PartTechnical DifferenceApplication DifferenceSelection Advice
SMAJ36A-E3/5ADO-214AC (SMA) package; 36.0–40.0 V VBR; 400 W PPPM; 150 °C TJ maxLarger 2.3 mm height; lower thermal endurance in high-ambient zonesSelect when legacy SMA footprint exists and 185 °C operation is not required
TPSMA6.8A-QSame DO-220AA package; 6.45–7.14 V VBR; 300 W PPPM; AEC-Q101 qualifiedLower voltage rating; insufficient for 24 V systems requiring ≥30 V VWMUse only for 5 V or 12 V rail protection where tighter VBR tolerance is needed

Compared with SMAJ36A-E3/5A, TPSMP36AHM3/85A offers superior thermal robustness (185 °C vs. 150 °C) and smaller footprint; versus TPSMA6.8A-Q, it provides higher voltage rating and 400 W surge capacity essential for 24 V automotive power nets.
