Product details
Overview
TPSMP7.5AHM3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, designed for high-reliability overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 7.13 V to 7.88 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 6.40 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 300 W peak pulse power (PPPM), and clamps at ≤26.5 V under 500 A surge current - ideal for automotive sensor line and microcontroller I/O protection.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP7.5AHM3/85A datasheet, TPSMP7.5AHM3/85A pinout, TPSMP7.5AHM3/85A application, or TPSMP7.5AHM3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C junction rating, low-profile 1.0 mm height, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and uni-directional clamping behavior in compact surface-mount form.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs 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 unidirectional polarity supports DC-biased signal lines where reverse conduction must be blocked.
The device operates across -65 °C to +185 °C, with thermal derating defined up to 175 °C ambient, and achieves 2.5 W steady-state power dissipation on infinite heatsink at 75 °C. Its 10/1000 μs waveform capability and 40 A IFSM rating support robust surge handling in automotive power domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage VBR | 7.13 V to 7.88 V at 10 mA - defines precise turn-on threshold for reliable clamping onset |
| Stand-off Voltage VWM | 6.40 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 150 μA |
| Peak Pulse Power PPPM | 300 W (10/1000 μs) - sustains automotive-level load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses |
| Clamping Voltage VC | ≤26.5 V at 500 A - limits protected circuit voltage during worst-case surge events |
| Operating Temperature Range | -65 °C to +185 °C - enables use in engine bay, transmission control, and under-hood modules |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling and HTRB |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ7.5A | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 7.22–8.02 V VBR; 400 W PPPM; 1.9 mm height | Higher surge rating but larger footprint and taller profile; less suitable for ultra-thin automotive modules | Select SMAJ7.5A only if board space permits larger package and higher clamping voltage (≤30.0 V) is acceptable. |
| TPSMA6.8A | Same DO-220AA package; lower 6.45–7.14 V VBR; 300 W PPPM; 6.0 V VWM | Designed for 5 V systems; not suitable for 6.4 V+ rail protection where tighter margin is required | Choose TPSMA6.8A only for legacy 5 V logic interfaces where lower standoff voltage aligns with system design. |
Compared with SMAJ7.5A and TPSMA6.8A, the TPSMP7.5AHM3/85A delivers optimal balance of low-profile packaging, AEC-Q101 qualification, and precise 6.40 V standoff - making it preferred for next-generation automotive ECUs requiring minimal Z-height and guaranteed high-temperature reliability.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for TPSMP7.5AHM3/85A?
The TPSMP7.5AHM3/85A has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 7.13 V to 7.88 V at 10 mA test current, per the Vishay datasheet revision 22-Jul-16. This ±5 % tolerance ensures consistent clamping onset across production lots and temperature extremes, critical for protecting 6.4 V nominal circuits without premature conduction.
Is TPSMP7.5AHM3/85A qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the TPSMP7.5AHM3/85A is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature. Its construction meets automotive reliability standards including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 - confirming suitability for under-hood and safety-critical ECUs.
What does the "HM3/85A" suffix indicate in TPSMP7.5AHM3/85A?
The "HM3" suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance; "85A" specifies 13-inch tape-and-reel packaging with 10,000 units per reel. This packaging format supports high-volume SMT assembly and is compatible with industry-standard pick-and-place equipment.
How does TPSMP7.5AHM3/85A compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in protection circuits?
The TPSMP7.5AHM3/85A is unidirectional, meaning it blocks reverse current until breakdown occurs - ideal for DC-biased lines like MCU GPIO or sensor outputs. Unlike bidirectional variants, it avoids leakage paths in asymmetric voltage rails and provides tighter VWM/VBR margins, enhancing noise immunity in automotive signal chains.
What is the clamping voltage of TPSMP7.5AHM3/85A under maximum surge conditions?
At 500 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs waveform), the TPSMP7.5AHM3/85A clamps to a maximum of 26.5 V. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and guarantees that protected circuitry remains below destructive voltage thresholds during ISO 7637-2 and IEC 61000-4-5 surge events.
