Product details
Overview
SMBG22AHE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMBG (DO-215AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 22 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 24.4–26.9 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 35.5 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 16.9 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed in automotive powertrain control units to safeguard CAN transceivers against load dump and inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG22AHE3/52 datasheet, SMBG22AHE3/52 pinout, SMBG22AHE3/52 application, or SMBG22AHE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C junction temperature rating, low 1.0 μA reverse leakage at VWM, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-band polarity marking, leveraging glass-passivated silicon junction technology for stable surge response. Its clamping behavior is defined by a low incremental surge resistance and fast sub-nanosecond response time, enabling effective suppression of ESD (IEC 61000-4-2) and lightning-induced surges (IEC 61000-4-5).
The SMBG22AHE3/52 is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) at 8.3 ms half-sine, supports MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (260 °C peak reflow), and exhibits 100 °C/W typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance when mounted 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 |
| VBR (min/max) | 24.4 V / 26.9 V at 1 mA - Ensures reliable turn-on above system nominal voltage with margin |
| VC @ IPPM | 35.5 V at 16.9 A - Limits protected circuit voltage during 600 W transient events |
| PPPM | 600 W - Withstands high-energy 10/1000 μs surges common in automotive and industrial environments |
| IFSM | 100 A - Handles single-event inductive kickback without failure (8.3 ms half-sine) |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables operation in under-hood automotive locations and high-ambient industrial settings |
| Leakage @ VWM | 1.0 μA - Minimizes standby power loss and avoids false triggering in low-current sensor lines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ22A-E3/52 | Same VWM (22 V), but lower PPPM = 600 W (same), higher VC = 37.5 V at same IPPM; SMB (DO-214AA) package, slightly larger footprint | Less stringent space constraints; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Select when automotive qualification is not required and board layout allows DO-214AA pad pattern |
| SMCJ22AHE3/A | Higher PPPM = 1500 W, same VWM/VBR, larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; AEC-Q101 qualified | Systems requiring higher surge immunity (e.g., 12 V battery jump-start events) | Choose when 600 W is insufficient and PCB real estate permits larger 7.11 mm × 6.22 mm footprint |
Compared with SMBJ22A-E3/52 and SMCJ22AHE3/A, the SMBG22AHE3/52 delivers identical 600 W surge capability in the smallest AEC-Q101-qualified footprint (SMBG), making it optimal for space-constrained automotive modules where both reliability and miniaturization are critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBG22AHE3/52 and how is it measured?
The SMBG22AHE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 16.9 A using a 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform. This value is guaranteed per the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88456, Rev. 09-Jan-2024) and reflects the voltage seen across the SMBG22AHE3/52 during standardized surge testing - critical for ensuring protected ICs remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Is SMBG22AHE3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG22AHE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use, including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces. Its construction - glass-passivated junction, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and operation up to +150 °C - meets rigorous automotive reliability requirements. The HE3 suffix confirms AEC-Q101 qualification, making SMBG22AHE3/52 appropriate for under-hood and cabin applications demanding long-term field reliability.
What does the "HE3/52" suffix mean in SMBG22AHE3/52?
The "HE3" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified construction with matte tin-plated leads; "52" denotes the preferred packaging code for 7" diameter plastic tape and reel, containing 750 units per reel. This packaging format supports automated SMT placement and is documented in the Vishay ordering information table (page 3, Document 88456). The full part number SMBG22AHE3/52 uniquely identifies this qualified, reel-packed variant of the SMBG22A device.
How does SMBG22AHE3/52 differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBG22CA?
SMBG22AHE3/52 is unidirectional and features polarity marking (cathode band), allowing it to conduct only in reverse breakdown - ideal for DC rail protection. In contrast, SMBG22CA is bidirectional with no polarity marking and symmetric clamping in both directions, suited for AC signal lines or differential buses. The SMBG22AHE3/52's 1.0 μA leakage at 22 V is specified only in reverse; SMBG22CA exhibits matched leakage in both directions, making SMBG22AHE3/52 preferable for low-leakage DC applications.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBG22AHE3/52 and how does it affect layout?
The SMBG22AHE3/52 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes minimum recommended pad layout per Vishay's mechanical drawing. To maintain safe junction temperatures during repetitive surges, PCB layout must provide adequate copper area and avoid thermal bottlenecks - undersized pads or thin traces will increase RθJA and risk exceeding the +150 °C TJ max rating of the SMBG22AHE3/52.
