Description and Introduction

ARK Electronics - Surface Mount Transient Voltage Suppressors Peak Pulse Power 400W Breakdown Voltage 6.8 to 550V # Introduction to the P4SMA160A TVS Diode from VISHAY  

The **P4SMA160A** is a surface-mount **transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode** designed by **VISHAY** to protect sensitive electronic circuits from voltage transients, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and other surge events. This component belongs to the **P4SMA series**, known for its robust performance in a compact SMA (DO-214AC) package.  

With a **standoff voltage of 160V** and a **breakdown voltage range of 178V to 197V**, the P4SMA160A is suitable for applications requiring high-voltage surge protection. It offers a **peak pulse power dissipation of 400W** (10/1000μs waveform) and features low clamping voltage, ensuring effective suppression of transient spikes.  

Key applications include **power supplies, industrial equipment, telecommunications, and automotive systems**, where reliable overvoltage protection is critical. The diode’s fast response time and high surge capability make it an ideal choice for safeguarding circuits against lightning strikes, inductive load switching, and other transient disturbances.  

Constructed with high-quality materials, the P4SMA160A ensures durability and long-term stability in harsh environments. Its compact form factor allows for easy integration into space-constrained designs while maintaining compliance with industry standards.  

For engineers seeking dependable overvoltage protection, the **P4SMA160A** from VISHAY provides a balanced combination of performance, reliability, and efficiency.

Alternative Part Number

  • SMAJ160A --: Same SMA package unidirectional TVS diode with 160V standoff and similar clamping, a direct functional substitute from a different series.
  • SMBJ160A --: Unidirectional 160V TVS in SMB package with comparable surge rating; slightly larger package but electrically compatible for most designs.
  • 1SMA160A --: SMA-packaged 160V unidirectional TVS diode offering equivalent protection characteristics as a cost-effective alternative.
  • SMAJ160A --: Same SMA package unidirectional TVS diode with 160V standoff voltage and similar clamping performance, widely available and a direct functional substitute.
  • SMBJ160A --: Unidirectional 160V TVS diode with comparable surge rating; SMB package is slightly larger but electrically compatible and easy to substitute in most layouts.
  • 1SMA160A --: SMA-packaged 160V unidirectional TVS diode offering equivalent clamping voltage and power rating, suitable as a drop-in replacement.
