Product details
Overview
TPSMP39A-E3/84A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, designed for automotive-grade surge protection with 37.1 V to 41.0 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 53.9 V clamping voltage (VC) at 7.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 400 W peak pulse power (PPPM). It protects sensor signal lines and drive transistors in harsh automotive environments.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP39A-E3/84A datasheet, TPSMP39A-E3/84A pinout, TPSMP39A-E3/84A application, or TPSMP39A-E3/84A equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification via HE3 suffix lineage, low-profile 1.0 mm height, and RoHS/WEEE compliance for automotive electronics design.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR oxide passivated chip construction to achieve low incremental surge resistance and excellent clamping capability. Its unidirectional configuration provides precise reverse-biased overvoltage protection with fast response time and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020C.
Rated for operation from −65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature, it delivers stable performance under high-temperature automotive conditions. The device is characterized with 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation on PCB with 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pads and supports 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) per 10 ms half-sine waveform.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36A-E3/5A | DO-214AC package; 36 V VBR; 58.1 V VC @ 6.5 A; 400 W PPPM; same AEC-Q101 qualification path | 0.22 mm taller (2.3 mm vs. 1.0 mm); less suitable for ultra-thin modules | Select when board height budget allows and legacy DO-214AC footprint is fixed |
| TPSMP36A-E3/84A | Lower VBR (34.2–37.8 V); 49.9 V VC @ 8.0 A; identical DO-220AA package and thermal specs | Better suited for 33 V nominal systems where tighter clamping margin is required | Choose for 33 V rail protection where 37.1–41.0 V VBR may risk false triggering |
Compared with SMAJ36A-E3/5A, TPSMP39A-E3/84A offers 1.3 mm lower profile and optimized thermal resistance for high-density automotive layouts; versus TPSMP36A-E3/84A, it provides higher standoff and clamping headroom for 36 V systems, trading off slightly higher VC for improved surge margin.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TPSMP39A-E3/84A?
The TPSMP39A-E3/84A has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 37.1 V to 41.0 V at 1.0 mA test current. This range ensures consistent triggering behavior across production lots and temperature extremes, supporting reliable protection of 36 V automotive subsystems without premature conduction during normal operation. The TPSMP39A-E3/84A maintains this specification under full AEC-Q101 stress testing.
Is the TPSMP39A-E3/84A suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMP39A-E3/84A is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards via its HE3 suffix lineage and is explicitly designed for automotive use. It meets MSL Level 1, withstands 260 °C solder dip for 40 seconds, operates from −65 °C to +185 °C, and is rated for 400 W peak pulse power-key requirements for engine bay and ADAS module deployments. The TPSMP39A-E3/84A appears in Vishay's automotive-grade transient suppressor portfolio.
What does the "E3/84A" suffix indicate in TPSMP39A-E3/84A?
The "E3" denotes commercial-grade termination (matte tin plating), while "84A" specifies the preferred packaging code: 7-inch plastic tape-and-reel with 3000 units per reel. This format ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment and supports automated SMT assembly. The TPSMP39A-E3/84A is not the high-reliability HE3 variant but shares identical electrical and thermal specifications with it.
How does the clamping voltage of TPSMP39A-E3/84A compare to its breakdown voltage?
The TPSMP39A-E3/84A clamps at 53.9 V when subjected to its rated 7.4 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs waveform), which is approximately 1.4× its minimum breakdown voltage (37.1 V). This controlled voltage overshoot ensures downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings during surge events. The TPSMP39A-E3/84A achieves this with low incremental surge resistance inherent to its PAR-passivated die structure.
Can TPSMP39A-E3/84A be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the TPSMP39A-E3/84A is strictly unidirectional, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation and polarity marking (cathode band). It conducts only when reverse-biased beyond VBR; for bidirectional protection, two devices must be connected in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional TVS like TPSMP39CA must be selected. The TPSMP39A-E3/84A datasheet explicitly states "Unidirection only" under FEATURES.
