Product details
Overview
SMB10J22AHM3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for high-energy surge protection in automotive and industrial power rails. It features a 22 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 24.4–26.9 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 28.2 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps to ≤35.5 V at rated surge. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and halogen-free.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J22AHM3_A/H datasheet, SMB10J22AHM3_A/H pinout, SMB10J22AHM3_A/H application, or SMB10J22AHM3_A/H equivalent, this device serves as a robust, surface-mount solution for protecting MOSFETs, microcontrollers, and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients, load dump, and ESD in 12 V/24 V automotive subsystems and industrial control I/O lines.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with a glass-passivated junction and low incremental surge resistance, enabling fast response (<1 ns) to transient overvoltages. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W) and junction temperature rating (TJ max = 150 °C) support reliable operation under repeated surge stress on standard PCB copper pads (0.2" × 0.2").
The SMB10J22AHM3_A/H uses a single PN junction structure optimized for high-power density suppression - not bidirectional operation - and is rated per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 22 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; sets safe margin above 12 V/24 V nominal rail. |
| VBR (min/max) | 24.4 V / 26.9 V at IT = 1 mA - ensures consistent breakdown onset across production lots and temperature range. |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤35.5 V at 28.2 A - defines worst-case clamping voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; protects downstream ICs with <36 V absolute max ratings. |
| PPPM | 1000 W (10/1000 µs) - supports high-energy transients such as ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a in automotive environments. |
| IFSM | 100 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands short-duration forward surges like battery reverse connection or jump-start events. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive modules and industrial enclosures without derating at ambient up to +125 °C. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD per AEC specification. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ22AHE3_A/H | Same VWM (22 V), VBR (24.4–26.9 V), and PPPM (1000 W), but commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101) and RoHS-compliant only (not halogen-free). | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. | Select SMBJ22AHE3_A/H if cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements and halogen-free status is not required. |
| SMCJ22A-HM3 | Same electrical specs but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; higher thermal mass (RθJA = 35 °C/W) and 1500 W PPPM rating. | Better suited for high-repetition surge environments or higher ambient temperatures due to superior thermal dissipation. | Choose SMCJ22A-HM3 when board space allows and sustained surge duty cycle or elevated ambient (>105 °C) demands lower thermal resistance. |
Compared with SMB10J22AHM3_A/H, SMBJ22AHE3_A/H offers identical clamping performance at lower qualification cost, while SMCJ22A-HM3 trades footprint for enhanced thermal capability and surge margin - making each optimal for distinct reliability, space, and thermal constraints.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J22AHM3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J22AHM3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 28.2 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TJ = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on the protected circuit during surge events - critical for ensuring compatibility with downstream components rated for ≤40 V absolute maximum voltage.
Is SMB10J22AHM3_A/H suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, SMB10J22AHM3_A/H is a unidirectional TVS diode and must be used with correct polarity: cathode connected to the line being protected, anode to ground. For bidirectional protection, Vishay offers the SMB8J22CA variant (800 W, same VWM), which lacks polarity marking and suppresses surges in both directions - using SMB10J22AHM3_A/H in bidirectional configurations risks failure during negative transients.
Does SMB10J22AHM3_A/H meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SMB10J22AHM3_A/H is fully AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation (Document Number: 88422, Revision: 09-Jan-2024). This includes stress testing for high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, unbiased highly accelerated stress test (UHAST), and ESD per HBM and CDM models - validating its suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive ECUs.
What is the meaning of the "HM3" suffix in SMB10J22AHM3_A/H?
The "HM3" suffix in SMB10J22AHM3_A/H indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this variant from "HE3" (RoHS-compliant + AEC-Q101, but not halogen-free) and "E3/M3" (commercial-grade). The "_A/H" denotes packaging: "A" = 7″ tape-and-reel, "H" = 750-unit reel quantity - critical for automated assembly planning.
How does SMB10J22AHM3_A/H compare to SMAJ22A in terms of surge capability?
SMB10J22AHM3_A/H delivers 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), whereas SMAJ22A is rated at only 400 W in the smaller SMA package. The SMB package's larger copper pad area (0.2″ × 0.2″) and lower thermal resistance enable higher surge energy absorption - making SMB10J22AHM3_A/H appropriate for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load dump protection where SMAJ22A would fail or degrade prematurely.
