Product details
Overview
SMB8J22CHE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection on signal and power lines. It features 22 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 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. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used to protect automotive sensor interfaces against ISO 7637-2 load dump and ESD transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMB8J22CHE3/52 datasheet, SMB8J22CHE3/52 pinout, SMB8J22CHE3/52 application, or SMB8J22CHE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, bi-directional symmetry for AC-coupled lines, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 72 °C/W), and RoHS-compliant matte tin terminations meeting J-STD-002 solderability.
Technical Context
This bi-directional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, with breakdown voltage (VBR) of 24.4–26.9 V at 1 mA test current and maximum reverse leakage (ID) ≤1.0 µA at 22 V stand-off. Its low incremental surge resistance enables rapid voltage clamping during fast transients such as EFT (IEC 61000-4-4) and lightning-induced surges (IEC 61000-4-5).
The device uses glass-passivated silicon junction technology, achieves MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (peak reflow 260 °C), and maintains stable performance from −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. Its DO-214AA package supports automated placement and provides 72 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 22 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC/AC bias margin for protected line. |
| VBR (min/max) | 24.4 V / 26.9 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 1 mA; ensures predictable turn-on threshold across production lot. |
| VC @ IPPM | 35.5 V - Clamped voltage at 22.5 A peak pulse (10/1000 µs); determines maximum stress imposed on downstream ICs. |
| PPPM | 800 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; validates robustness against automotive load dump and surge events. |
| IPPM | 22.5 A - Maximum non-repetitive surge current supported; sets minimum trace width and fuse coordination requirements. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature rating; enables operation in under-hood automotive environments. |
| RθJA | 72 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on 0.2" × 0.2" Cu pads; informs board-level thermal design for repeated surge duty. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AA (SMB), surface-mount, bi-directional configuration with no polarity marking (unlike uni-directional variants which feature cathode band). Dimensions: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm (L × W × H), with 2.13 mm lead spacing and matte tin-plated terminals solderable per J-STD-002.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Bi-directional surge conduction path | No functional distinction between terminals; either terminal serves as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity. |
| Cathode Band (absent) | Polarity indicator | Not present - confirms bi-directional construction; eliminates risk of incorrect orientation during placement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock per JESD47. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR and low leakage over lifetime; prevents moisture ingress and metallization degradation. |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C peak without popcorn effect or delamination; compatible with standard SMT lines. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VWM = 1.61) | Minimizes overvoltage exposure to protected ICs; improves margin for 3.3 V or 5 V logic interfaces. |
| RoHS-compliant & halogen-free | Meets JEDEC JS709A and EU Directive 2011/65/EU; suitable for global automotive and industrial supply chains. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB8J22CHE3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB8J22CHE3/52 clamps to a maximum of 35.5 V when subjected to its rated 22.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events, ensuring compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V interface ICs.
Is SMB8J22CHE3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB8J22CHE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use. Its construction includes glass-passivated junction, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and guaranteed operation from −55 °C to +150 °C. The HE3 suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, making SMB8J22CHE3/52 appropriate for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules.
How does the bi-directional configuration of SMB8J22CHE3/52 affect its layout and usage?
The SMB8J22CHE3/52 has no polarity marking and functions identically in both directions, simplifying PCB layout by eliminating orientation checks during assembly. This symmetry makes it ideal for AC-coupled lines like CAN, RS-485, or telecom pairs where transients can occur with either polarity, and avoids the need for dual uni-directional devices or external biasing networks.
What is the thermal resistance of SMB8J22CHE3/52, and how does it impact board design?
The SMB8J22CHE3/52 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 72 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal. This value guides copper pour sizing and airflow requirements for applications with repetitive surge duty; for example, two consecutive 800 W pulses require ≥100 ms cooling interval to avoid exceeding 150 °C junction temperature.
Does SMB8J22CHE3/52 meet RoHS and halogen-free standards?
Yes, SMB8J22CHE3/52 carries the HE3 suffix indicating RoHS-compliant construction per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free status per JEDEC JS709A. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, and whisker resistance is certified to JESD201 Class 2, supporting long-term reliability in high-vibration environments.
