Product details
Overview
SM5S22-E3/2D from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-218AB package, rated for 22 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 39.4 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 91 A peak pulse current, and 3600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It is AEC-Q101 qualified, supports 175 °C junction operation, and is designed for automotive load dump protection.
For engineers reviewing the SM5S22-E3/2D datasheet, SM5S22-E3/2D pinout, SM5S22-E3/2D application, or SM5S22-E3/2D equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, DO-218AB thermal performance (RθJC = 1.0 °C/W), ISO7637-2 compliance, low leakage (<10 µA at VWM), and 500 A IFSM surge rating.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to deliver stable clamping under high-temperature transients. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction path with VF ≤ 2.0 V at 100 A, enabling robust protection during load dump events where reverse-biased clamping and forward surge handling are both required.
The device operates across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 245 °C reflow peak. Its DO-218AB case features a metal heatsink terminal (anode) and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.

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-E3/5A | Lower PPPM (400 W vs. 3600 W); SMA package (RθJC ≈ 45 °C/W); bidirectional option available | Not suitable for load dump; limited to lower-energy ESD/surge events | Select only for non-automotive, low-power signal-line protection where space is constrained |
| TPSMA6L22A-Q1 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q101); same VWM/VC specs; DO-214AC package; lower PPPM (600 W) | Lacks ISO7637-2 validation; insufficient for load dump; better for ESD + fast transients | Prefer for infotainment or ADAS sensor interfaces needing tighter tolerance but lower surge energy |
Compared with SMAJ22A-E3/5A and TPSMA6L22A-Q1, SM5S22-E3/2D delivers 6× higher surge power handling and superior thermal dissipation-critical for automotive power rail protection where sustained energy absorption and junction temperature stability determine field reliability.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SM5S22-E3/2D at its rated peak pulse current?
The SM5S22-E3/2D has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 39.4 V when subjected to its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 91 A using a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per the conditions defined in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88382 and ensures protected circuitry remains within safe voltage limits during standardized surge events.
Is SM5S22-E3/2D suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, SM5S22-E3/2D is unidirectional only, with polarity marked by cathode band on Lead 1 and anode connected to the metal heatsink (Lead 2). It is not rated for reverse conduction and must be installed with correct orientation on the PCB. For bidirectional protection, consider the SM5S22A-E3/2D variant, which offers symmetrical clamping.
Does SM5S22-E3/2D meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SM5S22-E3/2D is AEC-Q101 qualified and meets ISO7637-2 Load Dump Pulse 5a requirements. It is rated for operation from –55 °C to +175 °C and complies with MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, making it suitable for engine bay and transmission control applications.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case for SM5S22-E3/2D?
The typical thermal resistance from junction to case (RθJC) for SM5S22-E3/2D is 1.0 °C/W, as specified in the Vishay datasheet. This low value is enabled by the DO-218AB package's direct metal heatsink contact, allowing efficient heat transfer to PCB copper or external thermal mass.
How is the polarity configured on SM5S22-E3/2D?
SM5S22-E3/2D has unidirectional polarity: the cathode is on Lead 1 (marked with a band), and the anode is connected to the metal heatsink base (Lead 2). The heatsink must be electrically tied to system ground to ensure proper clamping behavior during transients.
