Product details
Overview
SMA6J22AHR3G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 600W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode with a working standoff voltage of 22 V, breakdown voltage range 24.4–26.9 V at 1 mA, and clamping voltage of 34.5 V at 17.4 A peak pulse current under 10/1000 µs waveform-designed for surge protection in DC/DC converters and automotive power modules.
For engineers reviewing the SMA6J22AHR3G datasheet, SMA6J22AHR3G pinout, SMA6J22AHR3G application, or SMA6J22AHR3G equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-214AC (SMA) package, ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b compliance, 175 °C max junction temperature, and verified clamping performance at rated peak pulse power.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode uses a glass-passivated silicon junction to achieve sub-1 ps response time and stable clamping under repetitive transients. Its single-die DO-214AC construction supports automated placement and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements.
The device operates across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range, delivers 4 W steady-state power dissipation, and withstands 50 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), making it suitable for harsh-environment power rail protection where thermal robustness and fast transient suppression are critical.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMA6J22AHE3/61 | Same electrical specs; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (7,500 pcs vs. 3,000 pcs) and date code marking format | No functional difference; identical thermal and surge performance in PCB layout | Select when sourcing from Vishay's distribution channel with preferred reel size |
| P6SMB22A | 600 W rating, same VWM/VC, but larger DO-214AA (SMB) package (4.5 × 3.9 mm vs. 4.3 × 2.6 mm) | Requires PCB pad revision; higher thermal mass may slightly delay response vs. SMA6J22AHR3G | Choose if existing SMB footprint is fixed and board rework is prohibitive |
Compared with SMA6J22AHR3G, SMA6J22AHE3/61 offers identical protection performance with alternate packaging logistics, while P6SMB22A provides equivalent clamping but demands larger board area and exhibits marginally slower transient response due to higher junction capacitance.
