Product details

Overview

SMA5J22HE3/61 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, designed for high-energy surge protection on signal and power 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, and 500 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used to protect automotive sensor interfaces against ESD and load dump transients.

For engineers reviewing the SMA5J22HE3/61 datasheet, SMA5J22HE3/61 pinout, SMA5J22HE3/61 application, or SMA5J22HE3/61 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 14.1 A surge, bi-directional symmetry, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 80 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.

Technical Context

The SMA5J22HE3/61 operates as a bi-directional avalanche diode, exhibiting symmetrical reverse and forward conduction above its breakdown threshold in both directions. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1.0 µA at 22 V), while the DO-214AC package supports MSL Level 1 handling and 260 °C reflow peak temperature.

It delivers 500 W transient suppression capability per 10/1000 µs waveform with a clamping ratio (VC/VBR) of ~1.45, and maintains operation across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. The device is not polarity-marked due to bi-directional construction and requires no external biasing.

Key Specifications

Pin/TerminalCircuit RoleDesign Meaning
Anode/Cathode (unmarked)Bi-directional avalanche terminalsIdentical electrical behavior in either orientation; no cathode band; installed without polarity consideration.
CaseNon-conductive bodyNo thermal or electrical connection to PCB substrate; thermal path relies solely on soldered leads.

Key Features

FeatureDesign Value
AEC-Q101 qualificationValidated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD robustness-enables direct use in ASIL-B sensor modules.
Bi-directional symmetryIdentical VBR, VC, and IPPM in both directions-eliminates layout polarity constraints and simplifies PCB routing for differential or AC-coupled lines.
Low incremental surge resistanceEnables tight clamping (35.5 V at 14.1 A) with minimal voltage overshoot-critical for protecting 3.3 V/5 V logic interfaces downstream.
MSL Level 1 ratingSupports standard SMT reflow up to 260 °C peak without preconditioning-reduces manufacturing complexity and avoids moisture-related popcorning.

Applications

Automotive Sensor ProtectionIndustrial CAN Bus Interface

Use Scenario: Protecting ABS wheel speed sensor outputs exposed to inductive switching noise and battery load dump transients in 12 V vehicle systems.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bi-directional TVS clamp placed directly at connector entry point to shunt surges before reaching signal conditioning amplifier.

Use Value: Clamps transients to ≤35.5 V while sustaining 500 W pulses, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in downstream op-amps and ADCs.

Use Scenario: Guarding CAN_H/CAN_L differential pair against ESD (IEC 61000-4-2 ±8 kV contact) and fast transient bursts in factory automation nodes.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Paired SMA5J22HE3/61 devices (one per line) provide symmetrical overvoltage protection without affecting CAN signal integrity or common-mode range.

Use Value: Sub-1 ns response time and <1.0 µA leakage at 22 V preserve bus DC bias and minimize false dominant detection during idle states.

Telecom Line Card Surge SuppressionConsumer Appliance Motor Drive Feedback

Use Scenario: Safeguarding RS-485 transceivers on telecom base station line cards subjected to lightning-induced surges on long outdoor runs.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary protection stage ahead of secondary GDT or polymer PTC, absorbing bulk energy before downstream components.

Use Value: 500 W PPPM rating and 80 °C/W RθJA allow sustained multi-pulse operation without thermal runaway on standard FR4 PCBs.

Use Scenario: Shielding hall-effect rotor position feedback signals in BLDC motor drives from commutation spikes generated by high-dI/dt MOSFET switching.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Point-of-entry protection on low-voltage analog feedback traces routed near noisy power stages.

Use Value: 22 V VWM provides sufficient margin above 15 V supply rails while clamping spikes to 35.5 V-preventing comparator saturation and timing errors.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.

Alternative PartTechnical DifferenceApplication DifferenceSelection Advice
SMA5J22AHE3/61Same electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; differs only in packaging suffix notation (HE3 vs. HE3/61 denotes same reel size and tape configuration).No functional difference; identical use cases and board-level implementation.Select SMA5J22HE3/61 when ordering from standard Vishay preferred P/N list with 7" tape and reel delivery.
SMC5J22CAHigher power rating (1500 W PPPM), larger DO-214AB (SMC) package, same VWM/VBR/VC specs; RθJA = 35 °C/W vs. 80 °C/W.Better suited for single-event high-energy threats (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a); requires larger PCB area and higher copper mass.Choose SMC5J22CA where system-level surge testing exceeds 500 W or thermal budget allows larger footprint.

Compared with SMA5J22HE3/61, SMA5J22AHE3/61 is functionally identical but uses alternate P/N formatting, while SMC5J22CA offers triple the surge power in a physically larger package-making it appropriate for higher-threat environments where board space permits.

FAQ

What is the clamping voltage of the SMA5J22HE3/61 under full-rated surge current?

The SMA5J22HE3/61 clamps to 35.5 V at its rated peak pulse current of 14.1 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured per JEDEC standards and guarantees maximum voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case surge events, enabling robust design margin for 24 V system interfaces.

Is the SMA5J22HE3/61 suitable for automotive applications?

Yes, the SMA5J22HE3/61 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use. Its -55 °C to +150 °C operating range, bi-directional symmetry, and validated reliability testing-including temperature cycling and HTRB-make it appropriate for under-hood and cabin sensor protection in passenger vehicles and commercial fleets.

Does the SMA5J22HE3/61 have polarity markings on the package?

No, the SMA5J22HE3/61 has no polarity marking because it is a bi-directional TVS diode. The DO-214AC (SMA) package is unmarked, and the device functions identically regardless of orientation during PCB placement-simplifying assembly and eliminating risk of reverse installation.

What is the maximum leakage current of the SMA5J22HE3/61 at its stand-off voltage?

The SMA5J22HE3/61 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 1.0 µA at its 22 V stand-off voltage (VWM), measured at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity on high-impedance sensor lines and minimizes standby power loss in battery-operated systems.

How does the thermal performance of the SMA5J22HE3/61 compare to larger package alternatives?

The SMA5J22HE3/61 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 80 °C/W on standard 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads. While higher than SMC-packaged alternatives (e.g., 35 °C/W), this value is optimized for compact layouts and remains effective for intermittent surge duty cycles typical in automotive and industrial protection.
