Product details
Overview
SMAJ22E3/TR13 from Microsemi is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, rated for 500 W peak pulse power at 10/1000 µs, with 22 V working standoff voltage (VWM), 24.4 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), and 39.4 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 12.7 A peak pulse current - used for ESD/EFT protection on DC power rails and signal lines in industrial control and telecom interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ22E3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ22E3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ22E3/TR13 application, or SMAJ22E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified clamping performance under IEC61000-4-2 (±15 kV air/±8 kV contact), bidirectional variant availability (SMAJ22CAE3/TR13), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and compatibility with standard SMA footprint per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds VBR = 24.4 V (at IBR = 1 mA), clamping transients to ≤39.4 V within <100 ps response time. It sustains 500 W peak pulse power at 25 °C with 0.01% duty cycle, and exhibits 1 μA max standby leakage at 22 V.
Thermal design relies on low junction-to-lead thermal resistance (15 °C/W) and FR4 board mounting with recommended pad layout; steady-state dissipation is 1.56 W at 25 °C ambient or 5 W at 75 °C lead temperature. Polarity is marked by cathode band; no marking on bidirectional variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 22 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins. |
| VBR min | 24.4 V @ 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche initiation threshold for reliable overvoltage triggering. |
| VC @ IPP | 39.4 V @ 12.7 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, defining protected circuit stress level. |
| PPP | 500 W - Peak transient energy handling capacity, enabling robust secondary lightning (IEC61000-4-5 Class 4) protection. |
| ID max | 1 μA @ 22 V - Low leakage ensures minimal power loss and signal integrity in high-impedance circuits. |
| tRESP | <100 ps - Sub-nanosecond response enables effective suppression of ESD events per IEC61000-4-2. |
| TOP/TSTG | −65 °C to +150 °C - Wide temperature range supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial environments. |

| Fast clamping response | <100 ps theoretical turn-on enables suppression of ESD events before IC damage occurs. |
| Standard SMA footprint | Compatible with automated SMT assembly and IPC-recommended pad layout (A=1.70–2.26 mm, D=4.93–5.48 mm). |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Protection | Telecom Line Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 24 V DC input/output channels in programmable logic controllers exposed to inductive switching surges and field wiring faults. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between channel and ground to clamp transients before reaching isolation amplifiers or microcontroller GPIOs. Use Value: Limits voltage to ≤39.4 V during 12.7 A surge, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in downstream analog front-end ICs. | Use Scenario: RS-485 or Ethernet PHY interface lines in base station equipment subject to ESD and induced RF coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS mounted at connector entry point to shunt fast transients before signal conditioning filters and transceivers. Use Value: Sub-100 ps response ensures clamping occurs prior to 15 kV ESD event propagation into sensitive differential receivers. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | Power Supply Input Stage |
Use Scenario: 12 V battery-supplied modules (e.g., door lock actuators) experiencing load dump and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on main VBAT rail upstream of LDO regulators and MCU power pins. Use Value: Withstands 500 W surges while maintaining 22 V nominal operation, eliminating need for bulkier through-hole alternatives like P6KE22A. | Use Scenario: Input stage of AC/DC or DC/DC converters where rectified bus voltage must be stabilized against line transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS across bulk capacitor to absorb line-induced spikes before they reach switching controller ICs. Use Value: 39.4 V clamping ensures MOSFET gate drivers and PWM controllers remain within safe operating area during 10/1000 µs surges. |
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/TR13 | Same VWM, VBR, VC, and package; differs only in screening grade (standard vs. enhanced reliability). | No functional difference; identical electrical specs and mechanical form factor. | Select SMAJ22E3/TR13 for RoHS compliance and standard industrial qualification; SMAJ22A-E3/TR13 if legacy part number alignment is required. |
| SMAJ22CAE3/TR13 | Bidirectional variant: symmetric clamping (VC = 39.4 V in both polarities), same VWM and PPP. | Required for AC-coupled or floating signal lines (e.g., USB D+/D−, audio inputs) where polarity reversal may occur. | Choose SMAJ22CAE3/TR13 only when protecting bidirectional signals; SMAJ22E3/TR13 remains optimal for DC rails with defined polarity. |
Compared with SMAJ22A-E3/TR13, SMAJ22E3/TR13 offers identical protection performance with assured RoHS compliance; versus SMAJ22CAE3/TR13, it provides lower-cost unidirectional clamping optimized for fixed-polarity power and signal paths without sacrificing surge capability.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMAJ22E3/TR13 under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMAJ22E3/TR13 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 39.4 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 12.7 A under the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 2 in the official Microsemi MSC0270A datasheet and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events.
Is SMAJ22E3/TR13 RoHS compliant and what does the "e3" suffix indicate?
Yes, SMAJ22E3/TR13 is RoHS compliant. The "e3" suffix denotes annealed matte-tin plating per JEDEC standards, confirming lead-free termination and compliance with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity - no dry pack required prior to reflow. This specification is explicitly stated in the Microsemi MSC0270A datasheet revision L.
What is the standoff voltage and why is it critical for SMAJ22E3/TR13 placement?
The standoff voltage (VWM) of SMAJ22E3/TR13 is 22 V - the maximum continuous reverse voltage it can withstand without entering breakdown. This parameter dictates placement: it must be higher than the normal operating voltage of the protected line (e.g., 24 V DC rail with margin) but low enough to activate before downstream ICs exceed absolute maximum ratings.
Does SMAJ22E3/TR13 support IEC61000-4-5 lightning surge testing?
Yes, SMAJ22E3/TR13 supports IEC61000-4-5 secondary lightning surge testing up to Class 4 (12 Ω source impedance) and Class 1 (42 Ω source impedance), as confirmed in the Applications section of the MSC0270A datasheet. Its 500 W peak pulse rating and 39.4 V clamping enable compliance without additional series impedance.
What package type and footprint does SMAJ22E3/TR13 use?
SMAJ22E3/TR13 uses the DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package with standardized dimensions: length 4.93–5.48 mm, width 2.57–2.79 mm, height 2.26 mm max. Its recommended PCB pad layout follows IPC/JEDEC guidelines with thermal relief pads to ensure 15 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, as detailed on page 5 of the MSC0270A datasheet.
