Product details
Overview
SMB8J22CAHE3_B/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_B/H datasheet, SMB8J22CAHE3_B/H pinout, SMB8J22CAHE3_B/H application, or SMB8J22CAHE3_B/H equivalent, this device is selected for AEC-Q101-qualified bidirectional surge suppression where low clamping ratio, fast response (<1 ns), and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility are required in space-constrained surface-mount designs.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, enabling protection of AC-coupled or differential signal paths without polarity constraints. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1 µA at VWM), while the low incremental surge resistance supports consistent clamping under repetitive transients.
The device meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for automotive use and is rated for TJ = –55 °C to +150 °C operation. Thermal resistance is 72 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads), and it complies with J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 22 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe signal swing range in protected circuit. |
| VBR min/max | 24.4 V / 26.9 V at IT = 1 mA - tight breakdown window ensures predictable turn-on threshold across temperature and unit variation. |
| VC @ IPPM | 35.5 V at 22.5 A - clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during 10/1000 µs surge; clamping ratio VC/VWM = 1.61. |
| PPPM | 800 W - peak power dissipation capability with standard 10/1000 µs waveform; enables protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surges. |
| ID @ VWM | <1 µA - ultra-low reverse leakage preserves signal integrity and battery life in always-on sensor nodes. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - extended junction temperature rating supports under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - standardized surface-mount outline (5.21 mm × 4.57 mm × 2.20 mm) compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow. |
Pinout & Package
Two-terminal bidirectional device in SMB (DO-214AA) package; no polarity marking - symmetrical construction allows mounting in either orientation. Case conforms to JEDEC DO-214AA mechanical standard with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Transient conduction path | Both terminals function identically; conducts surge current bidirectionally when voltage exceeds ±VBR. |
| Cathode band (absent) | Polarity indicator | Not present - confirms bidirectional configuration; eliminates risk of incorrect orientation during placement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, ADAS sensors, and infotainment I/O - supports PPAP and long-term reliability requirements. |

| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR drift <±5% over lifetime and improved humidity resistance vs. epoxy-passivated alternatives. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VWM = 1.61) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during surge events - critical for protecting 24 V-rated microcontrollers and CAN transceivers. |
| RoHS-compliant & halogen-free option | HE3 suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction; HM3 suffix adds halogen-free molding compound for stringent environmental compliance. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional TVS protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMB8J22CA-M3/52 | Same electrical specs; halogen-free molding compound, commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101). | Lacks automotive qualification - suitable for industrial or consumer products not requiring AEC validation. | Select when halogen-free compliance is mandatory but automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| SMAJ22CAHE3_A/H | Same VWM/VBR/VC ratings but in smaller SMA (DO-214AC) package; lower PPPM = 400 W. | Reduced surge handling capacity - appropriate only for lower-energy threats (e.g., IEC 61000-4-2 ESD, not IEC 61000-4-5 surges). | Choose for space-constrained layouts where 400 W surge margin suffices and PCB area is premium. |
Compared with SMB8J22CAHE3_B/H, the M3/52 variant trades AEC-Q101 for halogen-free compliance, while the SMAJ22CAHE3_A/H reduces footprint and surge rating - making SMB8J22CAHE3_B/H the optimal choice for AEC-Q101–mandated, high-power bidirectional protection in SMB-compatible layouts.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB8J22CAHE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB8J22CAHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V at 22.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream 24 V-rated ICs. The SMB8J22CAHE3_B/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range (–55 °C to +150 °C).
Is SMB8J22CAHE3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB8J22CAHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified and specifically designated for automotive use via the "HE3" suffix. It undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock per AEC-Q101 Rev D. The SMB8J22CAHE3_B/H is commonly deployed in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules where certified surge immunity is mandatory.
How does the bidirectional configuration of SMB8J22CAHE3_B/H affect PCB layout?
The SMB8J22CAHE3_B/H has no polarity marking and functions identically in both directions, eliminating orientation constraints during placement. This simplifies PCB layout by removing the need for silkscreen polarity indicators or automated vision alignment checks. The SMB8J22CAHE3_B/H can be placed in either direction across differential lines or AC-coupled paths without functional impact.
