Product details
Overview
TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, with 7.13 V to 7.88 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 6.40 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 150 µA max reverse leakage at VWM, 500 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 300 W peak pulse power (PPPM) for use in automotive sensor line protection.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A datasheet, TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A pinout, TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A application, or TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, low-profile 1.0 mm height, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and clamping voltage of 26.5 V at 500 A for robust ESD/surge immunity in space-constrained automotive PCBs.
Technical Context
The TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, leveraging patented PAR oxide-passivated chip construction to deliver low incremental surge resistance and fast response time under 10/1000 µs transients. Its clamping behavior is defined by a 26.5 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 500 A IPPM, with thermal derating per Fig. 2 above 25 °C ambient.
Designed for surface-mount placement on FR-4 PCBs with 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal, it supports junction temperatures from –65 °C to +185 °C and meets RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC. Polarity is marked by a cathode band; terminals are matte tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 7.13 V / 7.88 V - ensures reliable avalanche conduction onset within tight tolerance for predictable overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 6.40 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 150 µA, compatible with 5 V logic rails |
| IPPM | 500 A - peak surge current handling capability under 10/1000 µs waveform, enabling protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a |
| PPPM | 300 W - peak pulse power rating at TA = 25 °C, derated linearly above 25 °C per Fig. 2 |
| VC @ IPPM | 26.5 V - clamping voltage limiting downstream IC stress during surge events, critical for 12 V automotive systems |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - high junction temperature rating supports under-hood operation without thermal shutdown |
| MSL Level | Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow) - enables standard lead-free SMT assembly without pre-baking |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-220AA (SMP), ultra-low-profile surface-mount case with 1.0 mm typical height, 0.142" × 0.126" footprint (3.61 mm × 3.19 mm), cathode indicated by color band.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ7.5A | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 7.22–8.02 V VBR; 200 W PPPM; 32.4 V VC @ 33.5 A | Lower surge rating and higher clamping voltage; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial designs where automotive qualification is not required |
| TPSMA6.8A | Same DO-220AA package; lower 6.45–7.14 V VBR; 300 W PPPM; 23.8 V VC @ 500 A | Lower stand-off voltage (5.80 V) limits use on 5 V rails with tighter margins | Preferred when protecting 3.3 V logic or legacy 5 V systems requiring tighter VWM headroom |

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range specified for TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A?
The TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 7.13 V minimum to 7.88 V maximum at 10 mA test current (IT), per Vishay Document Number 88471, Revision 21-Oct-08, Table on page 2. This tight 10% tolerance ensures precise overvoltage triggering in 5 V and 12 V automotive circuits, and the value applies specifically to the TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A variant-not the broader TPSMP7.5 family.
Is TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A qualified to AEC-Q101, and what does that mean for automotive use?
Yes, TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the "MECHANICAL DATA" section of its datasheet (page 1). This qualification validates its robustness across temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and surge endurance tests required for automotive under-hood and cabin applications. The TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A meets these standards as a discrete unidirectional TVS diode, not just as part of a family.
What is the clamping voltage of TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A, and at what current is it measured?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A is 26.5 V, measured at 500 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using a 10/1000 µs waveform, per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of Vishay Document 88471. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events and is a confirmed parameter for the TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A, not extrapolated from adjacent variants.
Does TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A have a unidirectional or bidirectional configuration?
TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A is strictly unidirectional, as stated in the FEATURES section on page 1: "Uni-direction only." It conducts in forward bias during surge events and blocks reverse current up to its stand-off voltage (VWM = 6.40 V); it is not rated for bidirectional operation or symmetric clamping. This configuration is integral to the TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A's design and differs from bidirectional variants like TPSMP7.5CA.
What package type and moisture sensitivity level does TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A use?
TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A uses the DO-220AA (SMP) surface-mount package with 1.0 mm typical height and is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, with a maximum lead-free reflow peak temperature of 260 °C. This information is documented in the MECHANICAL DATA section (page 1) and applies uniquely to the TPSMP7.5AHE3/85A, confirming compatibility with standard high-volume SMT assembly processes without baking.
