Product details
Overview
TPSMP43HM3/85A 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 power rails. It features 43 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max = 38.7–47.3 V), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 6.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 36.8 V stand-off voltage (VWM), and 61.9 V clamping voltage (VC) at IPPM, enabling robust surge suppression in automotive sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP43HM3/85A datasheet, TPSMP43HM3/85A pinout, TPSMP43HM3/85A application, or TPSMP43HM3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C junction temperature rating, low-profile 1.0 mm height, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking - all critical for automotive-grade PCB-level ESD and surge protection design.
Technical Context
The TPSMP43HM3/85A employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for high-power-density transient suppression. Its unidirectional architecture provides low forward voltage (2.5 V at 25 A) and fast response time to clamp transients before downstream IC damage occurs.
Rated for operation from –65 °C to +185 °C and qualified per AEC-Q101, it delivers stable clamping performance under thermal stress. The device meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 with 260 °C peak reflow profile and uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with JESD 22-B102 and J-STD-002.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for TPSMP43HM3/85A?
The TPSMP43HM3/85A has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 38.7 V to 47.3 V at 1.0 mA test current, per the Vishay datasheet revision 22-Jul-16. This ±10 % tolerance ensures reliable triggering above nominal 36.8 V stand-off voltage while accommodating process variation. The value is measured using a square-wave pulse per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards.
Is TPSMP43HM3/85A AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, TPSMP43HM3/85A is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet under "FEATURES" and "MECHANICAL DATA" sections. Its qualification supports use in automotive powertrain, chassis, and body electronics where reliability under thermal cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock is mandatory.
What is the clamping voltage of TPSMP43HM3/85A at its rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMP43HM3/85A clamps to a maximum of 61.9 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 6.5 A under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within their absolute maximum voltage ratings during surge events, and is verified per standardized test methods in the datasheet.
What package type does TPSMP43HM3/85A use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
TPSMP43HM3/85A uses the DO-220AA (SMP) package: 2.67 mm × 1.88 mm footprint with 1.0 mm typical height. Its cathode is marked by a color band, and terminals are matte tin-plated for J-STD-002 solderability. The package meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and is MSL Level 1 compatible.
How does TPSMP43HM3/85A differ from TPSMP43A?
TPSMP43HM3/85A and TPSMP43A share identical electrical specs (VBR, VC, PPPM, TJ), DO-220AA package, and AEC-Q101 qualification. The difference lies in VBR tolerance: TPSMP43HM3/85A is ±10 % (38.7–47.3 V), while TPSMP43A is ±5 % (40.9–45.2 V). The 'HM3/85A' suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant tape-and-reel packaging (10,000 pcs per 13″ reel).
