Product details
Overview
TPSMP8.2HE3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, with 7.38 V min / 9.02 V max breakdown voltage, 6.63 V standoff voltage, and 24.0 V clamping voltage at 200 A peak pulse current. It delivers 300 W peak pulse power, supports 40 A surge current, and operates from –65 °C to +185 °C for engine control unit (ECU) signal line protection.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP8.2HE3/85A datasheet, TPSMP8.2HE3/85A pinout, TPSMP8.2HE3/85A application, or TPSMP8.2HE3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, low-profile 1.0 mm height, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and verified clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients in automotive sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR oxide-passivated chip construction to achieve low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD and load-dump transients per ISO 16750-2. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction path only during reverse overvoltage events.
The device is rated for 2.5 W steady-state power dissipation on infinite heatsink at 75 °C ambient and exhibits a +0.065 %/°C temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage - critical for stable clamping across wide under-hood temperature ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage VBR | 7.38 V min to 9.02 V max at 10 mA - defines precise overvoltage triggering threshold for 12 V automotive systems |
| Standoff Voltage VWM | 6.63 V - ensures reliable non-conduction during normal 5–6 V logic-level or sensor supply operation |
| Clamping Voltage VC | 24.0 V at 200 A (10/1000 µs) - limits downstream IC stress below 28 V ABS MAX rating of many automotive microcontrollers |
| Peak Pulse Power PPPM | 300 W - sustains ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (inductive switch-off) and Pulse 2a (battery disconnect) waveforms |
| Surge Current IPPM | 200 A - withstands high-energy transients without degradation when mounted on 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pads |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +185 °C - meets under-hood thermal requirements for AEC-Q101 Grade 1 and Grade 0 applications |
| Leakage Current IR | 50 µA max at VWM - minimizes standby power loss in always-on vehicle networks |
Pinout & Package

Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Sensor Inputs | Automotive Camera Module Interfaces |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog voltage outputs of crankshaft/camshaft position sensors exposed to alternator ripple and ignition noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamps negative-going transients while allowing DC bias and signal integrity to pass.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response TVS absorbs sub-ns ESD pulses before they propagate into serializer/deserializer ICs. Use Value: 24.0 V clamping at 200 A prevents damage to 28 V-rated image signal processors without adding series resistance that degrades eye diagram. |
| Body Control Module (BCM) LIN Bus Lines | Electric Power Steering (EPS) Motor Driver Feedback |
Use Scenario: Shielding LIN transceivers from battery dump transients during jump-start conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff voltage of 6.63 V aligns with LIN physical layer's 12 V supply tolerance while blocking false triggers.

Use Value: 185 °C max junction temperature allows continuous operation near MOSFET heat sinks without thermal shutdown. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ8.0A | Higher 8.0 V nominal VBR, SMA package (2.4 mm height), 400 W PPPM, no AEC-Q101 certification | Not qualified for automotive under-hood use; suitable for industrial control panels with less stringent reliability requirements | Select SMAJ8.0A only if AEC-Q101 is not required and board height budget permits 1.4 mm additional profile |
| TPSMA6.8AHE3/85A | Lower 6.45–7.14 V VBR, same DO-220AA package, 300 W PPPM, identical AEC-Q101 and MSL Level 1 ratings | Better suited for 5 V logic rails or CAN FD transceivers requiring tighter clamping margin below 12 V | Choose TPSMA6.8AHE3/85A when protecting 5 V microcontroller I/O pins where 6.63 V VWM avoids false triggering |
Compared with SMAJ8.0A and TPSMA6.8AHE3/85A, the TPSMP8.2HE3/85A offers optimal balance of 12 V system compatibility, ultra-low profile, and full automotive qualification - making it the preferred choice for ECU, ADAS, and body electronics where space and reliability are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TPSMP8.2HE3/85A at its rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMP8.2HE3/85A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 24.0 V at 200 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under standardized test conditions using 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream 28 V-rated ICs in automotive applications. The TPSMP8.2HE3/85A maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the TPSMP8.2HE3/85A qualified for automotive use according to industry standards?
Yes, the TPSMP8.2HE3/85A is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for automotive applications. It meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, passes JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing, and complies with RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC directives. Its –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range and validated reliability testing confirm suitability for under-hood and ADAS deployments. The TPSMP8.2HE3/85A carries the HE3 suffix denoting high-reliability automotive grade.
How does the DO-220AA (SMP) package of the TPSMP8.2HE3/85A compare to traditional SMA packages in terms of board space and thermal performance?
The DO-220AA (SMP) package of the TPSMP8.2HE3/85A measures 2.67 mm × 1.27 mm with 1.0 mm typical height - approximately 50 % lower profile than standard SMA packages. Despite its compact size, it achieves comparable thermal resistance due to optimized copper pad layout (5.0 × 5.0 mm per terminal) and low incremental surge resistance. The TPSMP8.2HE3/85A delivers 300 W peak power in this footprint, outperforming many SMA devices on power density.
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) of the TPSMP8.2HE3/85A, and why is it important for 12 V automotive circuits?
The TPSMP8.2HE3/85A has a standoff voltage (VWM) of 6.63 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this reverse voltage level. This value is intentionally set below typical 12 V system nominal voltages but above 5 V logic levels, preventing false triggering during normal operation while ensuring rapid clamping during transients like load dump or ESD. For 12 V circuits, the TPSMP8.2HE3/85A's VWM provides safe margin against ripple and noise without sacrificing responsiveness.
Does the TPSMP8.2HE3/85A have polarity marking, and how is it identified on the device?
Yes, the TPSMP8.2HE3/85A features a visible cathode band for polarity identification. Per the mechanical drawing, a color band is applied to the cathode end of the DO-220AA (SMP) package - consistent with industry-standard diode marking convention. This band must be aligned toward the circuit ground or lower-potential node during PCB layout to ensure correct unidirectional clamping behavior. The TPSMP8.2HE3/85A is not bidirectional; incorrect orientation will result in no protection.
