Product details
Overview
3KASMC22AHE3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in DO-214AB (SMC) package, rated for 3000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 22 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 24.4–26.9 V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 185 °C maximum junction temperature - designed for automotive-grade overvoltage protection of MOSFETs and sensor signal lines.
For engineers reviewing the 3KASMC22AHE3/57T datasheet, 3KASMC22AHE3/57T pinout, 3KASMC22AHE3/57T application, or 3KASMC22AHE3/57T equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (35.5 V at IPPM), AEC-Q101 qualification, MSL Level 1 rating, unidirectional polarity, and thermal resistance (RθJA = 77.5 °C/W) under standard PCB mounting.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to achieve stable clamping performance across -65 °C to +185 °C operating range, with low incremental surge resistance and sub-nanosecond response time to transient events. Its 10/1000 μs waveform capability supports robust protection against inductive switching spikes and ESD-induced surges.
The device operates exclusively in unidirectional mode, with cathode denoted by color band, and is optimized for high-reliability automotive applications requiring compliance with AEC-Q101 and JEDEC J-STD-020 (peak reflow 260 °C). It delivers 84.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) while maintaining clamping voltage ≤35.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 22 V - maximum reverse working voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin for 24 V automotive systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 24.4 V / 26.9 V - breakdown occurs within this range at 1 mA test current; ensures predictable turn-on threshold. |
| VC @ IPPM | 35.5 V - clamping voltage at 84.5 A peak pulse; limits downstream voltage stress during transients. |
| PPPM | 3000 W - peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 μs waveform; supports high-energy surge suppression. |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments without derating. |
| RθJA | 77.5 °C/W - thermal resistance junction-to-ambient on standard pad layout; informs heatsinking requirements. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - certified for automotive electronic systems per stress-test standard including HTGB, HTRB, and TCT. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AB (SMC), surface-mount, matte tin-plated leads, RoHS-compliant, UL 94 V-0 molding compound. Cathode indicated by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; connected to protected circuit ground or low-side reference. | Provides low VF (3.5 V @ 100 A) path during surge conduction; requires low-inductance grounding. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; marked by color band; connected to protected line (e.g., signal or power rail). | Defines unidirectional clamping direction; must be placed between transient source and IC input. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Junction passivation | Optimized anisotropic rectifier design ensures stable leakage (<1 μA at VWM) and long-term reliability at TJ = 150 °C. |
| High-temperature operation | Rated up to TJ = 185 °C - eliminates need for external derating in engine-control units and ADAS modules. |
| Peak pulse power | 3000 W (10/1000 μs) - suppresses ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients without failure. |
| Clamping performance | VC = 35.5 V at IPPM = 84.5 A - maintains <1.6× VWM ratio for tight protection margins on 24 V rails. |
| Manufacturing compliance | MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow), JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and AEC-Q101 qualification ensure production robustness. |
Applications
| Automotive Powertrain Control | Industrial Sensor Signal Protection |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (typ. <100 pF) unidirectional clamp on 12 V bias rail and differential video lines. Use Value: Clamps ISO 16750-2 pulses without distorting high-speed video signals due to fast response and minimal parasitic loading. |
Use Scenario: Front-end protection for PoE-powered network switches and base station RF modules facing lightning-induced surges on DC input lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-level TVS on 48 V DC input stage, coordinated with upstream GDT and downstream polymer PTC. Use Value: Handles 3000 W surges while surviving repeated 8.3 ms half-sine wave tests (IFSM = 200 A), ensuring field longevity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ22A | Lower PPPM (400 W), higher RθJA (100 °C/W), same DO-214AC (SMA) package but smaller footprint and lower surge rating. | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; suitable for consumer-grade 24 V systems but not automotive under-hood use. | Select SMAJ22A only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications where 3000 W surge immunity is unnecessary. |
| SMCJ22A | Same DO-214AB (SMC) package, 3000 W PPPM, but VBR = 24.4–26.9 V and VC = 35.5 V identical; differs in marking code and tape/reel packaging (e.g., SMCJ22AHE3/57T). | Functionally identical clamping behavior and thermal specs; fully interchangeable in layout and electrical design. | SMCJ22A is a direct functional match with identical electrical and mechanical specs - verify reel code compatibility for procurement. |
Compared with SMAJ22A and SMCJ22A, the 3KASMC22AHE3/57T provides guaranteed AEC-Q101 qualification and tighter manufacturing controls for automotive deployment, while matching SMCJ22A's surge capability and thermal performance - making it preferred for mission-critical vehicle subsystems.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 3KASMC22AHE3/57T at its rated peak pulse current?
The 3KASMC22AHE3/57T has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 84.5 A using a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures reliable protection of downstream 24 V-rated components without exceeding safe voltage thresholds. The 3KASMC22AHE3/57T maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the 3KASMC22AHE3/57T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the 3KASMC22AHE3/57T is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling (TCT). It is rated for continuous operation up to TJ = 185 °C and meets MSL Level 1 reflow requirements - making it suitable for engine control units, ADAS modules, and other under-hood automotive systems.
What package type does the 3KASMC22AHE3/57T use, and what are its key mechanical features?
The 3KASMC22AHE3/57T uses the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package, with dimensions of 6.22 mm × 5.59 mm × 2.90 mm. Key features include UL 94 V-0 flammability-rated molding compound, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102, and cathode identification via molded color band. The 3KASMC22AHE3/57T also passes JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing.
How does the 3KASMC22AHE3/57T compare to the SMAJ22A in terms of surge handling capability?
The 3KASMC22AHE3/57T delivers 3000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), whereas the SMAJ22A is rated for only 400 W under the same waveform. This 7.5× higher energy absorption makes the 3KASMC22AHE3/57T suitable for severe automotive transients like load dump and ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a, while the SMAJ22A is limited to lighter-duty consumer or industrial applications.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of the 3KASMC22AHE3/57T at its stand-off voltage?
The 3KASMC22AHE3/57T exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1.0 μA at its 22 V stand-off voltage (VWM) and 25 °C ambient temperature. At elevated junction temperature (TJ = 150 °C), leakage remains ≤10 μA - confirming stable performance in high-temperature environments. This low leakage preserves signal integrity in precision sensor and communication circuits.
