Product details
Overview
TPSMP8.2AHM3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, designed for high-reliability circuit protection with 7.79 V to 8.61 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 7.02 V stand-off voltage (VWM), and 300 W peak pulse power (PPPM) at 10/1000 µs waveform. It clamps transients to ≤24.8 V at 200 A peak surge current and operates up to +185 °C junction temperature, targeting automotive and industrial sensor line protection.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP8.2AHM3/85A datasheet, TPSMP8.2AHM3/85A pinout, TPSMP8.2AHM3/85A application, or TPSMP8.2AHM3/85A equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, DO-220AA mechanical dimensions, clamping behavior under surge conditions, and direct alternatives with documented parameter differences.
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. Its unidirectional polarity and 7.02 V reverse stand-off voltage allow integration into DC-biased signal or power rails without leakage concerns at nominal operating voltage.
The device is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) and dissipates 2.5 W continuously at 75 °C ambient on infinite heatsink. Thermal design must account for derating above 25 °C per Figure 2, and PCB layout requires 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal to sustain full PPPM capability.
Key Specifications
