Product details
Overview
SMBG22CAHE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMBG (DO-215AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of signal and power lines. It features a 22 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 24.4–26.9 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), clamping voltage of 35.5 V at 16.9 A, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG22CAHE3/52 datasheet, SMBG22CAHE3/52 pinout, SMBG22CAHE3/52 application, or SMBG22CAHE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.4), junction temperature range (–55 °C to +150 °C), RoHS-compliant HE3 suffix with AEC-Q101 qualification, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on standard 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates symmetrically in both directions due to its bidirectional construction, enabling suppression of positive and negative transients without polarity sensitivity. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), while the low incremental surge resistance supports effective energy diversion during ESD or lightning-induced surges.
The device meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (peak reflow ≤260 °C) and delivers 600 W peak pulse power under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. Thermal resistance is rated at RθJA = 100 °C/W (on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm pads), supporting reliable operation in high-temperature automotive and industrial environments up to TJ = 150 °C.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ22CAHE3/52 | Same VWM/VBR/VC, but lower PPPM = 600 W (same rating) and identical SMB (DO-214AA) package footprint - differs only in case outline (SMBG vs. SMB). | SMBG offers slightly lower profile (1.96 mm max height) vs. SMB (2.41 mm); both support same pad layout and thermal derating. | Select SMBG22CAHE3/52 when board height is constrained (e.g., tight enclosure clearance) or when DO-215AA mechanical compliance is required. |
| SMCJ22CAHE3/52 | Higher PPPM = 1500 W, larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, same VWM/VBR/VC specs, and identical AEC-Q101/HE3 qualification. | Used where higher surge margin is needed (e.g., 12 V battery input with frequent load dump), but requires larger PCB area and different pad layout. | Choose SMBG22CAHE3/52 for space-constrained designs where 600 W suffices; upgrade to SMCJ22CAHE3/52 only if system-level testing shows marginal clamping margin. |
Compared with SMBJ22CAHE3/52 and SMCJ22CAHE3/52, SMBG22CAHE3/52 provides identical electrical protection performance in the smallest possible footprint among Vishay's AEC-Q101 bidirectional TVS family - optimizing board area without sacrificing automotive-grade reliability or surge handling.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBG22CAHE3/52 under peak pulse conditions?
The SMBG22CAHE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V at 16.9 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and ensures downstream circuitry remains below safe voltage thresholds during transient events. The clamping ratio (VC/VBR) is approximately 1.4, confirming efficient energy diversion without excessive voltage overshoot. SMBG22CAHE3/52 maintains this performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBG22CAHE3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG22CAHE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use, including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules. Its –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and validated surge performance per ISO 7637-2 make it suitable for under-hood and cabin environments. The HE3 suffix denotes RoHS compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification - critical for Tier 1 automotive supply chains. SMBG22CAHE3/52 meets these requirements without derating.
How does the bidirectional design of SMBG22CAHE3/52 affect circuit layout?
The SMBG22CAHE3/52 has no polarity marking and functions identically in both directions, eliminating orientation constraints during PCB layout and automated placement. This simplifies routing for differential or floating lines (e.g., CAN, RS-485, sensor bridges) and removes risk of incorrect installation. Layout requires symmetric 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal to achieve the rated 600 W pulse power and thermal resistance. SMBG22CAHE3/52 does not require additional biasing or direction-aware circuitry.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SMBG22CAHE3/52 at rated stand-off voltage?
At its 22 V stand-off voltage (VWM), SMBG22CAHE3/52 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on automotive modules and prevents signal distortion in high-impedance sensor interfaces. Leakage remains within specification across the full –55 °C to +125 °C operating range, supporting stable performance in extreme ambient conditions. SMBG22CAHE3/52 achieves this via glass-passivated junction technology.
Does SMBG22CAHE3/52 require special PCB layout considerations for thermal management?
Yes - SMBG22CAHE3/52 requires 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal to achieve its rated 600 W peak pulse power and thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W). Smaller pads increase junction temperature during surge events and may cause premature failure. Internal copper planes or thermal vias are recommended for sustained high-temperature operation. The SMBG22CAHE3/52 package (DO-215AA) is optimized for this pad layout, and deviation invalidates the published ratings.
