Product details
Overview
TPSMP39AHM3/84A 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 37.1 V to 41.0 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 5.0 μA max reverse leakage at 33.3 V (VWM), 7.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps to ≤53.9 V under 10/1000 μs surge - protecting sensor signal lines and drive transistors against ESD and load dump.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP39AHM3/84A datasheet, TPSMP39AHM3/84A pinout, TPSMP39AHM3/84A application, or TPSMP39AHM3/84A equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, DO-220AA mechanical dimensions, clamping performance at rated IPPM, and direct alternatives with documented VBR, PPPM, and thermal derating behavior.
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 (IEC 61000-4-2) and ISO 7637-2 load-dump transients. Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature and MSL Level 1 rating support reflow soldering at 260 °C peak and operation in under-hood automotive environments.
The device operates unidirectionally with a defined cathode band, requires no external biasing, and delivers stable clamping across -65 °C to +185 °C. Its 1.0 mm typical height and matte tin-plated terminals ensure compatibility with automated SMT placement and J-STD-002 solderability requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 37.1 V / 41.0 V - ensures reliable triggering above 33.3 V stand-off without false conduction during normal operation |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤53.9 V - limits downstream IC voltage stress during 7.4 A 10/1000 μs surge |
| PPPM | 400 W - sustains high-energy transients common in 12 V automotive systems |
| IR @ VWM | ≤5.0 μA at 33.3 V - minimizes standby power loss in battery-critical applications |
| TJ max | +185 °C - enables deployment near hot engine control units without thermal derating penalties |
| Package | DO-220AA (SMP) - 1.0 mm height, 2.67 mm × 1.88 mm footprint, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant |
Pinout & Package
TPSMP39AHM3/84A is a two-terminal unidirectional TVS diode in DO-220AA (SMP) surface-mount package. The cathode is marked by a color band on the body; polarity must be observed during PCB layout to ensure correct clamping direction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side connection point | Connected to ground or low-impedance return path; completes clamping loop during overvoltage event |
| Cathode | High-side connection point | Connected to protected line (e.g., sensor output); color band identifies this terminal for orientation verification |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD robustness per JESD47 |
| Junction passivation | Reduces surface leakage and improves long-term stability under humid, high-bias conditions |
| MSL Level 1 | Supports standard reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak without moisture-induced failure |
| Low profile (1.0 mm) | Enables routing beneath adjacent tall components and reduces board-level mechanical stress during thermal cycling |
| Uni-directional operation | Provides precise clamping only on positive transients - avoids DC blocking issues in biased signal paths |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36A-E3/5A | VBR = 40–44.4 V; PPPM = 400 W; DO-214AC (SMA) package; 2.2 mm height | Larger footprint and height limit use in ultra-thin automotive modules | Select when existing SMA footprint is fixed and 2.2 mm height is acceptable |
| TPSMA6.8A-S | VBR = 7.13–7.88 V; PPPM = 300 W; same DO-220AA package; lower clamping voltage | Not suitable for 33.3 V stand-off; intended for 5 V–12 V rail protection | Choose only for lower-voltage signal lines where TPSMP39AHM3/84A's VWM would cause false triggering |
Compared with SMAJ36A-E3/5A, TPSMP39AHM3/84A offers 44 % lower profile and identical PPPM, enabling denser layouts; versus TPSMA6.8A-S, it provides 5× higher VWM and 1.6× higher clamping threshold - critical for 24 V+ automotive signal integrity.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for TPSMP39AHM3/84A?
The TPSMP39AHM3/84A has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 37.1 V to 41.0 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This range ensures robust triggering above its 33.3 V stand-off voltage while avoiding premature conduction during normal operation - a key requirement for 24 V automotive signal line protection.
Is TPSMP39AHM3/84A qualified for automotive use?
Yes, TPSMP39AHM3/84A is AEC-Q101 qualified and manufactured with halogen-free, RoHS-compliant materials. It meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C, and is rated for continuous operation from -65 °C to +185 °C - satisfying under-hood environmental requirements for modern automotive ECUs.
What is the clamping voltage of TPSMP39AHM3/84A under surge conditions?
At its rated 7.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 μs waveform, the TPSMP39AHM3/84A clamps to a maximum of 53.9 V. This value is measured under standardized test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events - critical for safeguarding 3.3 V or 5 V interface ICs downstream.
Does TPSMP39AHM3/84A have bidirectional capability?
No, TPSMP39AHM3/84A is strictly unidirectional. Its cathode is marked by a visible band, and it conducts only when the cathode is at higher potential than the anode. For bidirectional protection, a separate symmetric TVS or back-to-back configuration would be required - but TPSMP39AHM3/84A's unidirectional design minimizes leakage and optimizes clamping precision for DC-biased lines.
What package type does TPSMP39AHM3/84A use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
TPSMP39AHM3/84A uses the DO-220AA (SMP) package: 2.67 mm × 1.88 mm body size with 1.0 mm typical height and 0.61 mm terminal thickness. Its compact form factor, matte tin-plated leads, and MSL Level 1 rating make it compatible with high-speed automated placement and lead-free reflow processes - essential for automotive Tier 1 manufacturing.
