Product details
Overview
TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A 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 a 9.55 V maximum breakdown voltage (VBR), 7.78 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 22.4 V clamping voltage at 50 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 300 W peak pulse power rating at 10/1000 µs waveform - optimized for automotive sensor interface and microcontroller I/O line protection.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A datasheet, TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A pinout, TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A application, or TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A equivalent, this device delivers AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C junction temperature capability, low-profile 1.0 mm height, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction - critical for automotive ECU, ADAS sensor modules, and industrial control I/O protection design-in.
Technical Context
The TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A operates as a silicon avalanche diode with passivated anisotropic rectifier technology, enabling fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional polarity and cathode band marking align with standard PCB layout conventions for reverse-biased protection placement across DC rails or signal paths.
Designed for surface-mount automated assembly on FR-4 PCBs with 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal, it supports 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) and maintains stable clamping performance up to 150 °C ambient, validated under JESD22-B102 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ9.0A-E3/5A | Higher VBR min (8.1 V), lower PPPM (400 W only at ≥13 V VBR; rated 300 W at 9.0 V), SMA package (2.3 mm height) | Less suitable for ultra-low-profile automotive modules due to taller package; same AEC-Q101 qualification | Select when board height budget allows >1.3 mm and legacy SMA footprint reuse is prioritized |
| TPSMA6.8A-Q | Lower VBR (6.45–7.14 V), same DO-220AA package, AEC-Q101 qualified, but 250 W PPPM rating | Better suited for 5 V rail protection where tighter clamping margin is required | Choose for 5 V MCU I/O protection where lower clamping voltage (<18 V) is mandatory |
Compared with SMAJ9.0A-E3/5A and TPSMA6.8A-Q, the TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A uniquely balances 9.55 V VBR, 300 W surge capability, and 1.0 mm profile in an AEC-Q101-qualified DO-220AA package - making it optimal for next-generation compact automotive electronics requiring both space efficiency and robust transient immunity.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A?
The TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 8.65 V (minimum) to 9.55 V (maximum) at 1.0 mA test current, per Vishay Document Number 88471. This tight tolerance ensures predictable turn-on behavior for protecting 7.78 V nominal systems while avoiding premature conduction during normal operation. The TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A achieves this using passivated anisotropic rectifier technology calibrated for automotive-grade consistency.
Is the TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature, making it fully suitable for under-hood and cabin automotive applications. Its DO-220AA package meets MSL Level 1 reflow requirements, and the HM3 suffix confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and automotive material categorization. The TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A is explicitly listed in Vishay's automotive-grade TVS portfolio for ECU, sensor, and camera module protection.
What is the clamping voltage of the TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A at its rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 22.4 V at 50 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and guarantees that protected circuitry - such as 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers - remains within safe operating limits during surge events. The TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A achieves this with low incremental surge resistance inherent to its optimized junction passivation.
Does the TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A have a bidirectional configuration?
No, the TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A is strictly unidirectional, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet's FEATURES section and ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS table. It features a cathode band for polarity identification and is intended for DC rail or single-polarity signal line protection. For bidirectional AC or differential line protection, engineers must select alternate parts such as the TPSMP9.1CA series - the TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A does not support symmetrical clamping.
What packaging format is used for the TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A?
The TPSMP9.1AHM3/84A is supplied in 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel packaging, with a base quantity of 3000 units per reel (ordering code /84A). The DO-220AA (SMP) package has matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102, supporting standard SMT reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak. This packaging format ensures compatibility with high-speed automated placement equipment used in automotive electronics manufacturing.
