Product details
Overview
SMB8J22CHE3/5B 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 - deployed in automotive sensor interfaces and industrial I/O protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMB8J22CHE3/5B datasheet, SMB8J22CHE3/5B pinout, SMB8J22CHE3/5B application, or SMB8J22CHE3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, bi-directional symmetry, low clamping ratio (VC/VWM = 1.61), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This bi-directional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, enabling robust protection against ESD, lightning-induced transients, and inductive switching spikes without polarity sensitivity. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior and low leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM), while the low incremental surge resistance supports tight clamping under high-current surges.
The device is rated for TJ = –55 °C to +150 °C, meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (260 °C peak reflow), and uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. The HE3 suffix confirms AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS placed adjacent to connector pins to suppress sub-nanosecond ESD strikes without signal distortion. Use Value: Junction capacitance <100 pF (typ.) at zero bias ensures minimal impact on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 eye diagram integrity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMB8J22AHE3/5B | Uni-directional variant with identical VWM (22 V), VC (35.5 V), and PPPM (1000 W); includes cathode band marking. | Requires polarity-aware layout; suited for DC-biased rails where reverse conduction must be blocked. | Select when protecting unidirectional power rails (e.g., 24 V supply inputs) where blocking reverse current is mandatory. |
| SMAJ22CA | Same bi-directional function but in smaller DO-214AC (SMA) package; lower PPPM (400 W) and IPPM (18.0 A). | Limited to lower-energy threats (e.g., IEC 61000-4-2 ESD only); not rated for IEC 61000-4-5 surge. | Choose for space-constrained consumer designs where 800 W surge immunity is unnecessary and board area is premium. |
Compared with SMB8J22AHE3/5B, SMB8J22CHE3/5B offers polarity-agnostic placement and matches automotive surge requirements; versus SMAJ22CA, it delivers double the surge power handling and AEC-Q101 validation - making it the only option qualified for under-hood automotive I/O protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMB8J22CHE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMB8J22CHE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V when subjected to a 10/1000 μs waveform peak pulse current (IPPM) of 22.5 A. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures downstream components remain within safe overvoltage limits during standardized surge events. The SMB8J22CHE3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMB8J22CHE3/5B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMB8J22CHE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use, including under-hood environments. Its –55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature range, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance confirm suitability for ECU, body control module, and sensor interface applications. The SMB8J22CHE3/5B meets all stress test requirements defined in the AEC-Q101 standard.
How does the bi-directional design of SMB8J22CHE3/5B affect PCB layout?
The SMB8J22CHE3/5B has no polarity marking and identical electrical behavior in both directions, eliminating orientation constraints during placement. This allows flexible routing on AC-coupled lines, differential pairs, or floating grounds without risk of incorrect installation. Unlike uni-directional variants such as SMB8J22AHE3/5B, the SMB8J22CHE3/5B requires no cathode band alignment - reducing assembly errors and simplifying pick-and-place programming.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SMB8J22CHE3/5B at its stand-off voltage?
At its 22 V stand-off voltage (VWM), the SMB8J22CHE3/5B exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 μA at TA = 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor circuits and ensures minimal power loss in battery-powered systems. Leakage remains within specification across the full –55 °C to +150 °C operating range, as verified in Vishay's thermal characterization data.
Does SMB8J22CHE3/5B require special PCB pad design for thermal performance?
Yes - optimal thermal performance for SMB8J22CHE3/5B requires mounting on minimum recommended copper pads: 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) per terminal, as specified in the Vishay datasheet. This pad size achieves the published RθJA of 72 °C/W. Reducing pad area increases thermal resistance and necessitates derating of peak pulse power above TA = 25 °C per Figure 2 in the SMB8J22CHE3/5B datasheet.
