Product details
Overview
DM5W22AQ-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3600W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-218 (Type E) package, designed for automotive load dump and ISO7637-2 surge protection. It features 22V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 24.4–26.9V breakdown voltage (VBR), 35.5V clamping voltage (VC) at 101A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the DM5W22AQ-13 datasheet, DM5W22AQ-13 pinout, DM5W22AQ-13 application, or DM5W22AQ-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000µs surge, thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.1°C/W), ISO16750-2 Pulse A/B compliance, and heatsink-anode polarity configuration in high-power automotive transients.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional, anode-heatsink-connected surge clamp for 12V/24V automotive systems. Its 3600W peak pulse power rating applies to non-repetitive 10/1000µs waveforms, with derating above +25°C case temperature per Figure 1. The device sustains 500A IFSM (8.3ms half-sine) and maintains <10µA IR at VRWM up to +175°C junction temperature.
Designed for direct mounting to metal chassis or heatsinks, its low RθJC (1.1°C/W) enables efficient thermal dissipation during load dump events. Polarity is fixed: heatsink serves as anode, cathode is the isolated terminal - critical for PCB layout and thermal interface design in engine control units and body electronics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 22 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR (min/max) | 24.4 / 26.9 V @ 5 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures reliable turn-on margin above VRWM |
| VC @ IPP | 35.5 V @ 101 A (10/1000µs) - Clamping voltage defines maximum stress on downstream ICs during surge |

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 PPK (600W), DO-214AA package, RθJC ≈ 3.5°C/W | Not suitable for ISO16750-2 Load Dump; limited to ISO7637-2 Pulse 1/2 only | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs surge severity requirements and thermal constraints allow higher junction rise |
| SMCJ22A | PPK = 1500W, DO-214AB package, RθJC ≈ 2.0°C/W, no AEC-Q101 certification | Lacks PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing traceability required for Tier 1 automotive programs | Acceptable for industrial or commercial automotive-adjacent designs where full AEC qualification is not mandated |
Compared with SMBJ22A and SMCJ22A, DM5W22AQ-13 delivers 2.4× and 2.4× higher peak power handling respectively, with certified automotive qualification, lower thermal resistance, and heatsink-integrated anode - making it the only option capable of standalone load dump compliance in space-constrained ECUs.

FAQ
What is the correct PCB layout for DM5W22AQ-13 to ensure optimal thermal performance?
The heatsink base (anode) must be soldered to a minimum 200 mm² copper pour with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter, filled) connecting to inner ground planes. Cathode pad should be isolated from heatsink plane. Recommended pad dimensions match Diodes' DO-218 Type E layout: G=3.30mm, X=3.50mm, Y=3.00mm, Y2=15.80mm.
Does DM5W22AQ-13 meet ISO16750-2 Pulse 5a (Load Dump) without external series impedance?
Yes - DM5W22AQ-13 is rated for 3600W peak pulse power at 10/1000µs and has been validated per ISO16750-2 Pulse 5a test conditions (including 35V/100ms exponential waveform). No series resistor is required for compliance when mounted per recommended thermal layout.
How does the heatsink-as-anode configuration affect circuit grounding strategy?
The heatsink serves as the anode terminal, so it must be connected to the protected circuit's positive rail - not chassis ground. This requires insulating the mounting surface from vehicle chassis unless the system uses positive-ground architecture. Cathode connects to the protected node or ground return path.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous 5W operation?
Per Figure 1, PM(AV) = 5.0W is rated at TC = +25°C. Derating begins linearly above +25°C: at TC = +125°C, maximum steady-state power drops to ~2.2W. For sustained 5W operation, active cooling or forced convection is required to maintain TC ≤ +25°C.
