Product details
Overview
3KASMC22AHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, rated for 22 V stand-off voltage, 25.7 V nominal breakdown voltage at 1 mA, 35.5 V clamping voltage at 84.5 A peak pulse current, and 3000 W peak pulse power with 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed for automotive sensor line protection and MOSFET gate clamp circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H datasheet, 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H pinout, 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H application, or 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, TJ = 185 °C maximum junction temperature, and SMC package thermal resistance of 18.3 °C/W junction-to-leads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to deliver stable clamping under high-temperature operation up to 185 °C, with low incremental surge resistance and fast response time suitable for suppressing inductive switching transients. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction path during overvoltage events while maintaining low leakage (<1.0 μA at 22 V).
The device meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020, with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and passes JESD 201 class 2 whisker testing. The HE3 suffix denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified construction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 22 V - maximum reverse stand-off voltage before significant leakage; defines safe operating window for protected signal lines. |
| VBR (nom) | 25.7 V at 1 mA - guaranteed breakdown onset; ensures predictable clamping initiation during ESD or load dump. |
| VC @ IPPM | 35.5 V at 84.5 A - peak clamped voltage limits stress on downstream ICs like microcontrollers or transceivers. |
| PPPM | 3000 W (10/1000 μs) - handles high-energy transients common in automotive 12 V systems and industrial motor drives. |
| TJ max | +185 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive environments and high-power industrial enclosures without derating. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - provides forward conduction path; required for DC-biased lines such as power supply rails or gate drivers. |
| RθJL | 18.3 °C/W - low junction-to-lead thermal resistance supports reliable power dissipation when mounted on PCB copper pours. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), surface-mount, molded epoxy case meeting UL 94 V-0; cathode indicated by color band; terminals are matte tin-plated.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V at 84.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and guarantees that downstream components see no more than 35.5 V during worst-case surge events. The 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range up to TJ = 185 °C.
Is the 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation and ordering code suffix "HE3", which denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified construction. It is rated for TJ = -65 °C to +185 °C and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 - making the 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H suitable for engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS sensor interfaces.
What package type does the 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H use, and what are its key mechanical features?
The 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H uses the SMC (DO-214AB) surface-mount package, with dimensions of 6.22 mm × 5.59 mm × 2.46 mm and UL 94 V-0 compliant molding compound. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and it passes JESD 201 class 2 whisker testing. The cathode is marked by a visible color band, and the 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H is supplied in 7″ tape-and-reel format (850 units per reel).
How does the 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H differ from the SMCJ22AHE3_A/H in terms of surge capability?
The 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H delivers 3000 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with a 10/1000 μs waveform, whereas the SMCJ22AHE3_A/H is rated for 1500 W - exactly half. Both share identical VWM (22 V), AEC-Q101 qualification, and SMC packaging, but the 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H achieves higher energy handling via optimized junction passivation and thermal design. For ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a compliance, the 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H is required.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H, and why is it significant?
The 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H is rated for a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +185 °C, significantly exceeding standard industrial-grade TVS diodes (typically +150 °C). This enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive locations, high-power industrial enclosures, and other thermally aggressive environments. The 3KASMC22AHE3_B/H sustains full electrical specifications - including clamping voltage and leakage - up to this limit, validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing protocols.
