Product details
Overview
TPSMP39HM3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, designed for high-reliability overvoltage protection of signal lines and ICs. It features a 35.1 V to 42.9 V breakdown voltage range, 56.4 V clamping voltage at 7.1 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP39HM3/85A datasheet, TPSMP39HM3/85A pinout, TPSMP39HM3/85A application, or TPSMP39HM3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 31.6 V stand-off voltage, 1.0 μA max reverse leakage at VWM, 185 °C junction temperature capability, and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility.
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 and lightning-induced transients per IEC 61000-4-2 and ISO 16750-2. Its 1.0 mm profile supports dense PCB layouts in space-constrained automotive and industrial modules.
The device operates with uni-directional polarity (cathode marked), requires no external biasing, and delivers stable clamping performance across -65 °C to +185 °C ambient, validated under AEC-Q101 stress testing including temperature cycling, HTRB, and HTGB.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR Min/Max | 35.1 V / 42.9 V - ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage while avoiding false trips during normal transients |
| VWM | 31.6 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage compatible with 24 V automotive supply rails |
| VC @ IPPM | 56.4 V - clamping voltage limits downstream component stress during 10/1000 µs surge events |
| IPPM | 7.1 A - peak pulse current capacity derived from 400 W PPPM rating at specified waveform |
| TJ max | +185 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments without derating |

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-E3/5AT | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 36 V VWM; 58.1 V VC @ 6.9 A; 400 W PPPM; same AEC-Q101 grade | Larger 2.3 mm height increases board clearance risk in ultra-thin modules | Select when existing SMA footprint is fixed and 1.0 mm height constraint does not apply |
| TPSMA6.8A-Q | DO-214AC package; 6.8 V VWM; 11.2 V VC @ 35.7 A; 400 W PPPM; AEC-Q101 qualified | Lower voltage rating suits 5 V logic rails but cannot protect 24 V systems | Choose only for 3.3 V/5 V interface protection where TPSMP39HM3/85A's 31.6 V VWM would be excessive |
Compared with SMAJ36A-E3/5AT and TPSMA6.8A-Q, the TPSMP39HM3/85A provides identical 400 W surge handling in a 44 % lower profile package, making it optimal for next-generation automotive ADAS modules where Z-axis space is constrained and 24 V rail protection is required.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TPSMP39HM3/85A?
The TPSMP39HM3/85A has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 35.1 V to 42.9 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This range ensures robust triggering margin above its 31.6 V stand-off voltage while accommodating process variation and temperature drift across the full -65 °C to +185 °C operating range. The TPSMP39HM3/85A maintains this specification under AEC-Q101 stress conditions.
Is the TPSMP39HM3/85A suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMP39HM3/85A is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation up to +185 °C junction temperature, making it suitable for under-hood and transmission-control applications. Its DO-220AA package meets MSL Level 1 for lead-free reflow, and its halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction satisfies automotive environmental requirements. The TPSMP39HM3/85A is explicitly listed in Vishay's automotive-grade product documentation.
What is the clamping voltage of the TPSMP39HM3/85A at its rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMP39HM3/85A exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 56.4 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 7.1 A, tested with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under standardized conditions per IEC 61000-4-5 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events. The TPSMP39HM3/85A maintains this clamping performance across its full temperature range.
Does the TPSMP39HM3/85A have unidirectional or bidirectional polarity?
The TPSMP39HM3/85A is a unidirectional TVS diode, with polarity indicated by a cathode band on the DO-220AA package. It conducts only during reverse-bias overvoltage events and blocks forward current like a standard rectifier. This configuration is appropriate for protecting DC power rails and single-ended signal lines where polarity is fixed. The TPSMP39HM3/85A is not rated for bidirectional operation.
What packaging option does the TPSMP39HM3/85A use for volume shipment?
The TPSMP39HM3/85A is supplied in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel format, with a base quantity of 10,000 pieces per reel. The "85A" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes this packaging variant, which is optimized for high-speed pick-and-place assembly. The TPSMP39HM3/85A reel meets J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards and supports automated optical inspection.
