Product details
Overview
3KASMC22HE3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode 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 - deployed for automotive-grade overvoltage protection of power rails and signal lines in engine control units and ADAS sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 3KASMC22HE3/57T datasheet, 3KASMC22HE3/57T pinout, 3KASMC22HE3/57T application, or 3KASMC22HE3/57T 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 conditions.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to achieve stable clamping performance across -65 °C to +185 °C operating range. Its 10/1000 μs waveform response delivers 84.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with low incremental surge resistance and fast transient response - critical for suppressing load-dump spikes and inductive switching transients in 12 V automotive systems.
The device operates exclusively in unidirectional mode, with cathode denoted by color band, and is optimized for high-reliability applications requiring JESD22-B102-compliant solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. It meets UL 94 V-0 flammability and RoHS compliance per Vishay's HM3 base P/N designation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 22 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; defines safe operating margin below clamping threshold |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 24.4–26.9 V at 1 mA - Voltage at which device enters avalanche conduction; ensures predictable turn-on during transients |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 35.5 V at 84.5 A IPPM - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case 3000 W surge; determines downstream component stress |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 3000 W (10/1000 μs) - Surge energy handling capacity; validates suitability for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a/b load-dump events |

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), same DO-214AC (SMA) package, VBR 24.4–26.9 V, VC = 35.5 V at 11.8 A | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; limited to consumer/industrial use; insufficient for automotive load-dump | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where surge energy is ≤400 W |
| SMCJ22A | Same DO-214AB (SMC) package, identical VWM/VBR/VC specs, but rated for 1500 W PPPM (10/1000 μs) and not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive qualification and 3000 W capability; suitable for industrial power supplies but not under-hood ECUs | Choose when AEC-Q101 is unnecessary and peak surge energy remains below 1500 W |
Compared with SMAJ22A and SMCJ22A, the 3KASMC22HE3/57T provides triple the peak pulse power (3000 W), guaranteed AEC-Q101 qualification, and extended 185 °C junction rating - making it the only option among the three validated for high-energy, high-temperature automotive transients.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 3KASMC22HE3/57T at its rated peak pulse current?
The 3KASMC22HE3/57T has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 84.5 A (10/1000 μs waveform). This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on the protected circuit during worst-case transient events. The 3KASMC22HE3/57T maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the 3KASMC22HE3/57T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the 3KASMC22HE3/57T is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed rigorous stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling (TCT) required for automotive electronics. Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature and DO-214AB (SMC) package with MSL Level 1 rating further validate its suitability for under-hood and ADAS applications.
What does the "HM3/57T" suffix indicate in 3KASMC22HE3/57T?
The "HM3" suffix denotes Vishay's RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified base P/N configuration with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-002/JESD22-B102 solderability. The "57T" indicates packaging in 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 850 units - standard for automated SMT placement. The "E3" reflects the specific revision level per Vishay's internal documentation.
Can the 3KASMC22HE3/57T be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the 3KASMC22HE3/57T is strictly unidirectional, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet under FEATURES and PRIMARY CHARACTERISTICS. It conducts only during reverse-biased avalanche and must be oriented with the cathode band toward the protected line. For bidirectional protection, a separate device such as the SMBJ22CA or a back-to-back unidirectional pair would be required - the 3KASMC22HE3/57T itself does not support symmetrical clamping.
What is the thermal resistance of the 3KASMC22HE3/57T under standard mounting conditions?
The 3KASMC22HE3/57T has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 77.5 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended pad layout per Vishay's DO-214AB outline drawing. This value assumes no additional copper pour or thermal vias; actual RθJA improves significantly with enhanced PCB copper area and thermal via arrays beneath the cathode/anode pads.
