P4SMA200A-M3/61 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P4SMA200A-M3/61 is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division, part of the P4SMA TransZorb® series. This surface mount component is designed for general-purpose transient voltage protection applications. The device features a 171V reverse standoff voltage with 274V maximum clamping voltage and 1.1A peak pulse current capability in a compact DO-214AC (SMA) package. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified based on identical electrical specifications and compatible packaging configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P4SMA200A-M3/61 is determined by strict equivalence of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 171V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 190V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 274V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 1.1A
• Power - Peak Pulse: 300W
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C to 150°C (TJ)
• Package / Case: DO-214AC, SMA
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Type: Zener
• Unidirectional Channels: 1

The identified substitute part P4SMA200A-E3/61 maintains identical electrical performance specifications and is housed in the same DO-214AC (SMA) surface mount package. The primary difference is the packaging format: the main part uses Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute uses Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® configuration. Both are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division and share the same base product number P4SMA200.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both P4SMA200A-M3/61 and P4SMA200A-E3/61 are Active status components manufactured by Vishay and are ROHS3 compliant with REACH Unaffected designation. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and supply chain requirements:

• P4SMA200A-M3/61 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations requiring continuous reel feeding.
• P4SMA200A-E3/61 (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®): Suitable for mixed-volume production, prototyping, or applications requiring flexible packaging formats.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for circuit design purposes. The choice between them does not affect circuit performance or reliability characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are P4SMA200A-M3/61 and P4SMA200A-E3/61 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications including 171V reverse standoff voltage, 274V clamping voltage, 1.1A peak pulse current, and 300W peak pulse power rating. They are functionally equivalent for circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between these substitute parts?

A: The primary difference is packaging format. P4SMA200A-M3/61 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while P4SMA200A-E3/61 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® configuration. Both use the same DO-214AC (SMA) component package.

Q: Can I use P4SMA200A-E3/61 in place of P4SMA200A-M3/61 on a PCB?

A: Yes. The physical component package is identical (DO-214AC, SMA), and all electrical parameters match. The substitute part will function identically in the circuit.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and have identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited). Compliance status is equivalent.

Q: Which part should I select for my application?

A: Selection depends on your procurement and assembly process. Choose Tape & Reel (TR) for high-volume automated assembly. Choose Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® for lower volumes, prototyping, or when packaging flexibility is required.
