Product details
Overview
SMAJ22CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a bidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for robust ESD, EFT, and secondary lightning surge protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 22 V reverse standoff voltage (VWM), 24.4 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 39.4 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 12.7 A peak pulse current (IPP), and 500 W peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in industrial I/O, telecom interfaces, and automotive body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ22CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ22CE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ22CE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ22CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, DO-214AC package compatibility, IEC61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 compliance, and tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly.
Technical Context
The SMAJ22CE3/TR13 implements a silicon avalanche diode structure optimized for sub-nanosecond response to transients, with <5 ns clamping latency for bidirectional events. Its symmetrical breakdown behavior enables protection of AC-coupled or floating lines without polarity constraints.
Thermal design relies on low junction-to-lead thermal resistance (15 °C/W), enabling sustained 5 W steady-state dissipation at 75 °C lead temperature when mounted on FR4 with recommended footprint. Moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC Level 1 - no dry pack required.
Key Specifications

| VWM | 22 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins |
| VBR min | 24.4 V @ 1 mA - guaranteed avalanche initiation threshold under specified test current |
| VC @ IPP | 39.4 V @ 12.7 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, defining protected circuit voltage ceiling |
| PPP | 500 W - peak transient power handling capacity, critical for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 lightning surges |
| IPP | 12.7 A - maximum non-destructive surge current for 10/1000 µs waveform |
| ID @ VWM | 1 µA - leakage current at rated standoff, ensuring minimal power loss in standby |
| Package | DO-214AC (SMA) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with wide leads for thermal and mechanical reliability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ22AHE3/TR13 | Unidirectional; 24.4 V VBR, 35.5 V VC @ 14.1 A; same DO-214AC package | Requires explicit polarity assignment; unsuitable for AC or floating lines | Select only when protecting DC rails with known polarity and lower clamping voltage is prioritized |
| SMBJ22CE3/TR13 | Same bidirectional function but SMB (DO-214AA) package; 39.4 V VC @ 12.7 A; 600 W rating | Higher power rating but larger footprint; not drop-in compatible due to different pad layout | Choose when higher surge margin is needed and PCB layout allows SMB footprint revision |
Compared with SMAJ22CE3/TR13, the unidirectional SMAJ22AHE3/TR13 offers tighter clamping but requires polarity-aware placement, while the SMBJ22CE3/TR13 delivers +20% peak power in a physically incompatible package - making SMAJ22CE3/TR13 optimal for space-constrained 500 W bidirectional protection with standard SMA layout.

FAQ
What does the "C" suffix in SMAJ22CE3/TR13 indicate?
The "C" suffix in SMAJ22CE3/TR13 denotes a bidirectional configuration - meaning the device clamps transients of either polarity symmetrically across its two terminals. This eliminates the need for polarity-aware placement on PCBs and supports protection of AC-coupled, differential, or floating signal paths where voltage reversal may occur.
Is SMAJ22CE3/TR13 compliant with IEC61000-4-5 for lightning surge protection?
Yes, SMAJ22CE3/TR13 is validated for secondary lightning surge protection per IEC61000-4-5 with 42 Ω source impedance up to Class 4 (VWM ≤ 12 V) and Class 3 (VWM ≤ 24 V). Its 22 V VWM and 39.4 V VC ensure safe clamping during 12.7 A 10/1000 µs surges, meeting system-level immunity requirements in industrial and automotive applications.
What is the thermal performance of SMAJ22CE3/TR13 on a standard FR4 board?
SMAJ22CE3/TR13 achieves 15 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance when mounted on FR4 with the recommended footprint. At 75 °C lead temperature, it sustains 5 W steady-state power dissipation; at 25 °C ambient, derated to 1.56 W - enabling reliable operation in thermally constrained enclosures without forced cooling.
Does SMAJ22CE3/TR13 require moisture preconditioning before reflow?
No, SMAJ22CE3/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH without dry-packaging or baking. The device supports standard lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds, with no moisture-related popcorning risk.
How does the "TR13" suffix affect packaging and assembly of SMAJ22CE3/TR13?
The "TR13" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-1-A standard: 2500 units per 13-inch reel, 12 mm carrier tape width. This format ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment, reduces manual handling errors, and supports JIT manufacturing - all while maintaining full traceability and RoHS compliance throughout the SMAJ22CE3/TR13 supply chain.
