Product details
Overview
TPSMP9.1AHM3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, designed for high-reliability overvoltage protection of signal lines and power rails. It features 9.1 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR = 8.65–9.55 V), 22.4 V clamping voltage at 50 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 300 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - optimized for automotive and industrial sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP9.1AHM3/85A datasheet, TPSMP9.1AHM3/85A pinout, TPSMP9.1AHM3/85A application, or TPSMP9.1AHM3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C junction temperature rating, low-profile 1.0 mm height, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and ±5 % VBR tolerance - critical for robust ESD/surge immunity in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to deliver fast response time (<1 ns), low incremental surge resistance, and stable clamping performance under repetitive transients. Its unidirectional polarity and cathode-band marking align with standard PCB layout conventions for reverse-biased protection circuits.
Designed for surface-mount automated placement, the device operates across -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The DO-220AA package supports high thermal dissipation via 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal, enabling reliable 2.5 W steady-state power handling at 75 °C ambient.
Key Specifications

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 | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 9.0 V VBR, 23.0 V VC @ 43.5 A; 400 W PPPM; higher profile (2.29 mm) | Less suitable for ultra-thin modules; requires larger pad area and greater board clearance | Select when higher peak power is required and board height budget allows ≥2.2 mm |
| TPSMA6.8A | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 6.8 V VBR, 14.5 V VC @ 20 A; 400 W PPPM; same AEC-Q101 qualification | Lowers clamping voltage but reduces standoff margin for 9 V rail protection | Select only if protected circuit VCC ≤ 7.5 V and tighter clamping is prioritized over VWM margin |
Compared with SMAJ9.0A and TPSMA6.8A, the TPSMP9.1AHM3/85A delivers identical AEC-Q101 reliability in a 56 % lower profile package, enabling use in next-generation compact ECUs where height constraints preclude SMA devices - while maintaining optimal VWM/VBR ratio for 9 V nominal systems.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for TPSMP9.1AHM3/85A?
The TPSMP9.1AHM3/85A has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 8.65 V to 9.55 V at 1.0 mA test current, reflecting its ±5 % tolerance grade. This tight VBR window ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports precise overvoltage threshold design in 9 V rail protection schemes. The value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards using square-wave pulses.
Is TPSMP9.1AHM3/85A suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, TPSMP9.1AHM3/85A is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for junction temperatures up to +185 °C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications such as engine control units, transmission control modules, and battery management systems. Its DO-220AA package maintains mechanical integrity and electrical performance under thermal cycling and vibration stress per automotive qualification requirements.
What is the clamping voltage of TPSMP9.1AHM3/85A at its rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMP9.1AHM3/85A clamps to a maximum of 22.4 V at 50 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under standardized test conditions (mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within safe operating area.
Does TPSMP9.1AHM3/85A require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes, optimal performance of TPSMP9.1AHM3/85A requires symmetric 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal to maximize thermal dissipation and minimize inductance. Short, wide traces must connect the cathode directly to the protected line and anode to ground, avoiding vias or routing detours that increase impedance. The device's low-profile DO-220AA package also demands precise stencil aperture design for consistent solder paste deposition.
How does the HM3/85A suffix affect TPSMP9.1AHM3/85A packaging and logistics?
The HM3/85A suffix indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction (HM3) supplied in 13-inch plastic tape-and-reel format with 10,000 units per reel (85A). This packaging supports high-speed automated placement and provides full traceability per batch. The "A" revision code confirms compliance with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and LF peak reflow of 260 °C, ensuring process compatibility in modern SMT lines.
