Product details
Overview
5.0SMDJ22A from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for high-energy surge protection in DC power lines and I/O interfaces. It delivers 5000W peak pulse power at 10/1000μs, clamps transients to ≤35.5V at 141A, and features a 22V working standoff voltage with <5µA leakage at VWM. It is used in AC/DC power supply input stages to protect downstream converters and controllers.
For engineers reviewing the 5.0SMDJ22A datasheet, 5.0SMDJ22A pinout, 5.0SMDJ22A application, or 5.0SMDJ22A equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (VC = 35.5V), breakdown voltage range (24.4–26.9V), thermal resistance (RθJA = 61°C/W), unidirectional polarity, and DO-214AB (SMC) package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The 5.0SMDJ22A operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, leveraging stacked-die construction to achieve high peak pulse power handling without derating at elevated ambient temperatures. Its fast response time (<1.0ps) ensures suppression before sensitive circuitry sustains damage, and its glass-passivated junction enhances reliability under repeated surge stress.
Designed for PCB-level protection, it requires no external biasing and relies on intrinsic avalanche behavior triggered when reverse voltage exceeds VBR. The device's low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.37) and tight VBR tolerance (±5.2%) support predictable overvoltage limiting in industrial power rails and communication interface ports.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ22A | Lower peak power (600W vs. 5000W); same DO-214AA package; VC = 35.5V at 17.1A | Suitable for lower-energy ESD and contact discharge; insufficient for IEC 61000-4-5 line surges | Select 5.0SMDJ22A where full 5kW surge immunity is required; SMBJ22A fits space-constrained layouts needing only 600W rating. |
| SMCJ22A | Same DO-214AB package and 5000W rating; VBR min/max tighter (24.5–26.5V); VC = 35.0V at 143A | Nearly identical performance; minor VBR and VC variation within design margin | SMCJ22A is a direct functional alternative with comparable thermal and electrical specs; verify marking and reel packaging compatibility for production use. |
Compared with SMBJ22A and SMCJ22A, the 5.0SMDJ22A offers identical package and clamping performance to SMCJ22A but differs from SMBJ22A in surge capacity-making it suitable for high-energy industrial mains protection where 600W devices would fail catastrophically.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 5.0SMDJ22A under rated surge conditions?
The 5.0SMDJ22A exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs waveform with a peak pulse current (IPP) of 141 A. This value is measured per standard test conditions (TA = 25°C) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events. Designers use this parameter to verify that downstream components remain within their absolute maximum voltage ratings.
Is the 5.0SMDJ22A unidirectional or bidirectional, and how is polarity identified?
The 5.0SMDJ22A is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended for DC line protection where reverse voltage is not expected. Polarity is marked by a cathode band on the DO-214AB (SMC) package body; the banded end connects to the higher-potential side (e.g., VIN), while the anode connects to ground or return. Its electrical characteristics-including VWM, VBR, and VC-are specified only for reverse-biased operation.
What is the thermal resistance of the 5.0SMDJ22A, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The 5.0SMDJ22A has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 61 °C/W when mounted on a 16 mm × 16 mm copper pad per JEDEC standards. This value assumes no additional heatsinking; designers must allocate sufficient copper area and consider thermal vias if operating near maximum power dissipation. Exceeding TJ = 175°C risks parametric shift or failure, so layout must support heat spreading under repetitive surge duty cycles.
Does the 5.0SMDJ22A meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the 5.0SMDJ22A is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Its molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives, and lead content is below 1000 ppm. These attributes support compliance with EU directives and environmental policies for industrial and telecom equipment, and are verified in TSC's material declarations and certificate of conformity.
Can the 5.0SMDJ22A be used in place of the 5.0SMDJ22CA?
No-the 5.0SMDJ22A is unidirectional, whereas the 5.0SMDJ22CA is bidirectional and designed for AC or dual-polarity signal lines. Substituting the 5.0SMDJ22A in a bidirectional application will result in forward conduction during negative half-cycles, causing excessive leakage, overheating, or failure. Always match device polarity to circuit topology: use 5.0SMDJ22A for DC rails and 5.0SMDJ22CA for AC-coupled interfaces like Ethernet or audio lines.
