Product details
Overview
3KASMC22AHM3_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. It operates up to 185 °C junction temperature and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive electronics protection.
For engineers reviewing the 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H datasheet, 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H pinout, 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H application, or 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional clamping performance, high-temperature reliability, MSL Level 1 solderability, halogen-free RoHS compliance, and suitability for inductive load switching transients in automotive sensor signal lines.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for junction stability under repetitive surge stress. Its 10/1000 μs waveform rating reflects standardized IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity testing conditions, and its 185 °C maximum junction temperature enables operation in under-hood automotive environments without derating penalties up to that limit.
The device exhibits low incremental surge resistance and fast response time-critical for protecting downstream MOSFETs and ICs from sub-microsecond transients. Its cathode-band polarity marking and matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 for reliable reflow soldering and whisker resistance per JESD 201 Class 2.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ22AHE3_A/H | Lower PPPM (400 W), same VWM/VBR, SMA package (smaller thermal mass) | Not suitable for 3000 W surge events; limited to consumer-grade I/O protection | Select only when peak surge energy is ≤ 0.4 J and ambient temperature remains < 85 °C. |
| SMCJ22AHE3_A/H | Same 3000 W rating and SMC package, but HE3 suffix (not HM3) - RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free | Lacks halogen-free certification required for some Tier 1 automotive programs | Use where AEC-Q101 qualification is needed but halogen-free material is not mandated by OEM spec. |
Compared with 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H, SMAJ22AHE3_A/H offers lower cost and smaller footprint but insufficient energy handling for automotive load-dump scenarios, while SMCJ22AHE3_A/H matches surge capability and form factor but lacks halogen-free compliance critical for modern EV platforms.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 84.5 A using the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per IEC 61000-4-5 and ensures protected circuits remain within safe overvoltage margins during surge events. The 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H suitable for 24 V automotive systems?
Yes, the 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H is explicitly designed for 24 V nominal automotive systems. Its 22 V stand-off voltage (VWM) provides adequate margin above normal operating voltage while allowing reliable clamping during load dump transients up to 3000 W. The 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for 185 °C junction temperature, making it appropriate for under-hood ECUs and body control modules.
What does the 'HM3' suffix indicate in 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H?
The 'HM3' suffix in 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this variant from HE3-suffix parts (RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free) and confirms compliance with JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1. The 'B/H' indicates packaging in 7-inch tape-and-reel format with 850 units per reel. The 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H meets stringent environmental and reliability requirements for modern automotive supply chains.
How does the thermal resistance of the 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H affect PCB layout?
The 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 77.5 °C/W and junction-to-leads resistance (RθJL) of 18.3 °C/W. To maintain TJ ≤ 185 °C under worst-case surge conditions, PCB copper pour under the cathode/anode pads must follow Vishay's recommended minimum pad layout (0.185" × 0.126"). The 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H does not require external heatsinking for typical automotive duty cycles.
Can the 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H replace older SMAJ or SMBJ series TVS diodes?
The 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H is not a direct drop-in replacement for SMAJ or SMBJ series due to its larger SMC (DO-214AB) package and higher surge rating. While it shares the same VWM and VBR as SMAJ22A/SMBJ22A, the 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H requires revised PCB land pattern and offers superior 3000 W capability versus 400 W (SMAJ) or 600 W (SMBJ). Migration to 3KASMC22AHM3_B/H is recommended only when enhanced surge immunity is required.
