Product details
Overview
SMB10J22AHM3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for high-energy surge protection with 1000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 22 V stand-off voltage (VWM), and 35.5 V clamping voltage at 28.2 A peak pulse current. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used to protect automotive sensor signal lines, MOSFET gate drivers, and microcontroller I/O pins against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J22AHM3/H datasheet, SMB10J22AHM3/H pinout, SMB10J22AHM3/H application, or SMB10J22AHM3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, AEC-Q101 qualification status, unidirectional polarity, thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast response (<1 ps) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling effective suppression of ESD and lightning-induced transients per IEC 61000-4-2/4-5. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction path during overvoltage events while maintaining low leakage (<1.0 µA at 22 V).
The device operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and meets J-STD-020 MSL level 1 (260 °C peak reflow). Its SMB package supports high-power density mounting with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 22 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR min/max | 24.4 V / 26.9 V at 1 mA - ensures reliable breakdown activation above normal operating voltage |
| VC @ IPPM | 35.5 V at 28.2 A - clamping voltage limiting downstream component stress during 10/1000 µs surge |
| PPPM | 1000 W - peak pulse power handling capability defines transient energy absorption capacity |
| RθJA | 72 °C/W - thermal resistance determines required PCB copper area for sustained surge duty |
| IFSM | 100 A - non-repetitive forward surge rating supports single-event inductive kick protection |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, cathode indicated by color band. Dimensions: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm (L × W × H), with 5.59 mm lead-to-lead spacing and 2.18 mm minimum pad width.

Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial Motor Drive I/O |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CAN/LIN bus transceivers and analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) in engine control modules from load dump and alternator ripple.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ22AHE3/A | Same VWM (22 V), same SMB package, but commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), E3 suffix (RoHS, not halogen-free) | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs without AEC compliance mandates | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements and halogen-free material is not mandated |
| SAC22 | Lower PPPM (600 W), same VWM, DO-214AC (SMA) package, higher RθJA (90 °C/W) | Reduced surge handling and thermal performance; requires larger copper area for equivalent cooling | Choose only if space constraints force SMA footprint and 600 W rating suffices for system-level threat model |
Compared with SMB10J22AHM3/H, SMBJ22AHE3/A offers identical electrical specs but lacks AEC-Q101 validation and halogen-free construction, while SAC22 trades power handling and thermal efficiency for smaller package size-making SMB10J22AHM3/H optimal for automotive-grade 1000 W surge immunity where board space permits SMB.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB10J22AHM3/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB10J22AHM3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 28.2 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMB10J22AHM3/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range (-55 °C to +150 °C), ensuring consistent protection in automotive under-hood environments.
Does SMB10J22AHM3/H meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SMB10J22AHM3/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's official documentation (Document Number: 88422, Revision: 09-Jan-2024). The HM3 suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101-qualified construction. Qualification includes stress tests for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and ESD robustness-making SMB10J22AHM3/H suitable for use in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules where automotive-grade reliability is mandatory.
What is the thermal resistance of SMB10J22AHM3/H, and how does it affect PCB layout?
SMB10J22AHM3/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 72 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes standard SMB footprint and minimal thermal vias. To maintain safe junction temperatures during repetitive surges, designers must allocate adequate copper area-reducing RθJA by adding thermal vias or increasing pad size. The SMB10J22AHM3/H datasheet specifies that derating begins above TA = 25 °C per Figure 2, so thermal design directly impacts usable surge duty cycle.
How does the SMB10J22AHM3/H differ from the SMBJ22AHE3/A variant?
The SMB10J22AHM3/H and SMBJ22AHE3/A share identical electrical parameters (VWM = 22 V, VC = 35.5 V, PPPM = 1000 W) and SMB package, but differ in qualification and materials: SMB10J22AHM3/H carries HM3 suffix-halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101 qualified-while SMBJ22AHE3/A uses E3 suffix-RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free and commercially qualified only. Thus, SMB10J22AHM3/H is designated for automotive applications requiring both environmental and reliability certification, whereas SMBJ22AHE3/A serves cost-sensitive industrial designs.
Can SMB10J22AHM3/H be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, SMB10J22AHM3/H is strictly unidirectional, as indicated by its part number suffix "A" (vs. "CA" for bidirectional variants like SMB8J22CA). Its cathode band marks the polarity, and it conducts only when anode voltage exceeds cathode by >VBR. For bidirectional protection-such as AC line or differential data bus applications-a separate bidirectional TVS (e.g., SMB8J22CA) must be selected. Using SMB10J22AHM3/H in reverse-biased AC scenarios would result in unintended conduction and potential failure.
