Product details
Overview
SMA5J22AHE3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, designed for high-energy surge protection on power and signal lines. It features a 22 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 24.4–26.9 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 35.5 V clamping voltage at 14.1 A peak pulse current, 500 W peak pulse power rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the SMA5J22AHE3_A/H datasheet, SMA5J22AHE3_A/H pinout, SMA5J22AHE3_A/H application, or SMA5J22AHE3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, junction temperature derating above 25 °C, unidirectional polarity marking, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector, activating when reverse voltage exceeds VBR to divert surge current away from sensitive downstream circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and fast response time (<1 ns), critical for protecting MOSFET gates and IC inputs against ESD and inductive switching spikes.
Thermal design relies on low RθJA (80 °C/W) and RθJL (25 °C/W), enabling reliable operation up to TJ = 150 °C. The device is rated for non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surges up to 40 A (IFSM) and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 with 260 °C reflow peak.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 22 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC/AC bias margin. |
| VBR (min/max) | 24.4 V / 26.9 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range; ensures predictable turn-on across production lot. |
| VC @ IPPM | 35.5 V at 14.1 A (10/1000 µs) - Clamping voltage during worst-case surge; determines maximum stress on protected IC. |
| PPPM | 500 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; supports robust protection against lightning-induced or load-switching transients. |
| IFSM | 40 A - Non-repetitive forward surge rating (8.3 ms half-sine); validates resilience to short-duration overcurrent events. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive or industrial ambient environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), surface-mount, low-profile case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002. Cathode indicated by band at one end; polarity-critical for unidirectional operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side of protected line; carries surge current during clamping. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Reverse-biased clamping terminal | Connected to higher-potential side; initiates avalanche breakdown when VRM > VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per stress test plan. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1.0 µA) over lifetime and temperature extremes. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C) | Enables single-reflow assembly without moisture-related popcorning or delamination risk. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes VC overshoot during fast-rising transients, improving protection margin for 3.3 V/5 V logic interfaces. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SMA5J22AHE3_A/H under standard test conditions?
The SMA5J22AHE3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs waveform at its rated peak pulse current of 14.1 A. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C with the device mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per the recommended layout. The SMA5J22AHE3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is the SMA5J22AHE3_A/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the SMA5J22AHE3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designated for automotive use via the "HE3" suffix. It undergoes stress testing including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and ESD per the AEC-Q101 standard. The SMA5J22AHE3_A/H is commonly deployed in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power rails where reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is mandatory.
How does the SMA5J22AHE3_A/H differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SMA5J22CA?
The SMA5J22AHE3_A/H is unidirectional and functions only in reverse-bias clamping mode, with cathode marked by a band. In contrast, SMA5J22CA is bidirectional and provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities, with no polarity marking. The SMA5J22AHE3_A/H offers lower leakage (<1.0 µA at 22 V) and is preferred for DC power line protection, whereas SMA5J22CA suits AC-coupled or differential signal lines.
What is the thermal resistance specification for the SMA5J22AHE3_A/H?
The SMA5J22AHE3_A/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 80 °C/W and junction-to-lead resistance (RθJL) of 25 °C/W, measured under standard JEDEC conditions with recommended PCB pad layout. These values enable accurate thermal modeling for designs operating up to +150 °C junction temperature, especially in automotive under-hood environments where the SMA5J22AHE3_A/H is frequently deployed.
Can the SMA5J22AHE3_A/H be used in automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the SMA5J22AHE3_A/H is optimized for automated surface-mount placement with its low-profile SMA (DO-214AC) package and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. It meets MSL Level 1 with a 260 °C reflow peak, eliminating pre-baking requirements. The SMA5J22AHE3_A/H is supplied in 7" tape-and-reel format (code H, 1800 units/reel), supporting high-volume manufacturing.
