Product details
Overview
SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for high-energy surge protection on signal and power lines. It features a 22 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 24.4–26.9 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 35.5 V clamping voltage (VC) at 22.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 800 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive sensor interfaces and industrial I/O protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H datasheet, SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H pinout, SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H application, or SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, 22 V working voltage compatibility, low clamping ratio (VC/VWM ≈ 1.61), and SMB package suitability for automated SMT assembly in space-constrained automotive ECUs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped crowbar during transients, leveraging an avalanche junction to divert surge energy away from downstream circuitry. Its bidirectional symmetry enables protection of AC-coupled or differential lines without polarity concerns, and its glass-passivated chip ensures stable VBR over temperature and lifetime.
Designed per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards, SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H delivers sub-nanosecond response time and low incremental surge resistance (<0.5 Ω typical), enabling effective suppression of ESD (IEC 61000-4-2), EFT (IEC 61000-4-4), and lightning-induced surges (IEC 61000-4-5) up to 800 W in compact SMB footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 22 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC/AC signal swing range. |
| VBR min/max | 24.4 V / 26.9 V at IT = 1 mA - tight breakdown tolerance ensures predictable turn-on across production lots. |
| VC @ IPPM | 35.5 V at 22.5 A (10/1000 µs) - clamping voltage limits stress on protected ICs; VC/VWM = 1.61 indicates high efficiency. |
| PPPM | 800 W - peak transient power handling capacity under standardized surge waveform; validates robustness for automotive load-dump immunity. |
| ID @ VWM | 1.0 µA - ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity and battery life in always-on sensor circuits. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures without derating. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - certified for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and mechanical shock testing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, bidirectional - no polarity marking; symmetrical terminals enable flexible PCB layout with no cathode/anode orientation requirement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode / Cathode (symmetrical) | Transient current path | Both terminals serve identically as surge conduction paths; bidirectional operation eliminates routing constraints. |
| Case (body) | Thermal and mechanical interface | Exposed copper pad area (0.2" × 0.2") required per terminal for thermal dissipation and mechanical anchoring. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping | Enables protection of AC, differential, or floating signal lines (e.g., CAN, LIN, RS-485) without external polarity management. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates long-term reliability in automotive applications including engine control, ADAS sensors, and body electronics. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VWM = 1.61) | Minimizes overvoltage exposure to protected ICs - critical for 3.3 V/5 V logic interfacing with 22 V supply rails. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Supports standard lead-free reflow profiles without moisture sensitivity concerns or baking requirements. |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable electrical parameters over time and temperature; prevents parameter drift in harsh industrial environments. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMB8J22CAHM3_A/H | Halogen-free variant with identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; same SMB package and pinout. | Required where RoHS-compliant halogen-free materials are mandated (e.g., EU automotive Tier 1 supply chains). | Select SMB8J22CAHM3_A/H when halogen-free compliance is contractually specified; otherwise SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H offers standard RoHS compliance. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V at 22.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures protected circuitry remains below critical overvoltage thresholds during surge events. The SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and specifically designed for automotive use, including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces. Its 22 V stand-off voltage aligns with 24 V system architectures, and its 800 W peak pulse power rating meets ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2 load-dump immunity requirements. The SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H also complies with MSL Level 1 for lead-free reflow assembly.
How does SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H differ from unidirectional variants like SMB10J22AHE3_A/H?
SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H is bidirectional with symmetrical clamping in both polarities, making it suitable for AC-coupled or differential lines such as CAN, LIN, or RS-485. In contrast, SMB10J22AHE3_A/H is unidirectional (cathode-marked), offering higher peak pulse power (1000 W vs. 800 W) but requiring correct polarity placement. The SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H's bidirectional nature eliminates orientation errors during automated placement and simplifies layout for floating signals.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H at its stand-off voltage?
The SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at its 22 V stand-off voltage (VWM), measured at TA = 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and minimizes quiescent power loss in battery-powered automotive modules. Leakage remains below 5 µA across the full -55 °C to +125 °C operating range per characterization data.
Does SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes - the SMB8J22CAHE3_A/H requires minimum 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal to achieve rated 800 W pulse power and thermal performance. Pad geometry must follow Vishay's recommended mounting layout (Document 88422, page 5) to ensure proper heat dissipation and mechanical reliability. No thermal vias are mandatory, but adding ≥4 thermal vias per pad improves junction-to-board thermal resistance by ~15%.
