Product details
Overview
SMBJ22AHE3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. 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 (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial and automotive electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ22AHE3/5B datasheet, SMBJ22AHE3/5B pinout, SMBJ22AHE3/5B application, or SMBJ22AHE3/5B equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and packaging details for reliable circuit protection design and BOM validation.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping device triggered by transient overvoltage events-such as inductive load switching or ESD-on DC power rails or low-speed signal paths. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior, while the low incremental surge resistance enables rapid energy diversion before downstream components are damaged.
The SMBJ22AHE3/5B is rated for 600 W peak pulse power under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform conditions, with a maximum clamping voltage of 35.5 V at 16.9 A IPPM. Its 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at 22 V stand-off supports low-power system integrity, and its MSL Level 1 rating confirms suitability for standard reflow assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 22 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; defines safe DC bias margin. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 24.4–26.9 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range; ensures predictable turn-on during transients. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 35.5 V at IPPM = 16.9 A - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case 600 W surge; critical for IC survival. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W (10/1000 µs) - Standardized surge handling capacity; validates robustness against lightning and switching spikes. |
| TJ Max / TSTG | –55 to +150 °C - Full industrial and automotive ambient operating range; supports under-hood and factory-floor deployment. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to ambient on recommended 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads; informs heatsinking needs. |

Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile plastic case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Polarity marked by cathode band; anode and cathode terminals defined per unidirectional operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when V > VBR. |
| Anode | Reference/return path | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return; completes clamping loop during overvoltage event. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ22AHM3/5B | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant variant with identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification. | No functional difference; selected where halogen-free material compliance is mandated (e.g., EU automotive Tier 1). | Direct substitution if halogen-free requirement applies; same footprint, thermal, and clamping performance. |
| SMAJ22AHE3/A | Lower 400 W PPPM rating, SMA (DO-214AC) package, higher RθJA (~140 °C/W), same VWM/VBR/VC. | Reduced surge robustness and inferior thermal dissipation; suitable only for lower-energy transients or space-constrained layouts. | Use only when board area is critical and surge threat level is below 400 W; not recommended for automotive or industrial mains-coupled inputs. |
Compared with SMBJ22AHE3/5B, the HM3 variant offers identical protection performance with halogen-free construction, while the SMAJ22AHE3/A trades 33 % peak power capability and thermal margin for smaller footprint-making SMBJ22AHE3/5B the preferred choice for high-reliability 24 V system protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ22AHE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ22AHE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 16.9 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events. The SMBJ22AHE3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ22AHE3/5B qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ22AHE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HE3" suffix in its part number and documented in Vishay's official datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing-making SMBJ22AHE3/5B suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics.
What does the "5B" in SMBJ22AHE3/5B indicate?
The "5B" suffix denotes the packaging configuration: 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 3200 units per reel. This format supports high-volume automated SMT placement and is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment. The "HE3" portion confirms RoHS compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification, while "SMBJ22A" specifies the 22 V stand-off voltage and unidirectional polarity.
How does SMBJ22AHE3/5B compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBJ22CA?
SMBJ22AHE3/5B is unidirectional and intended for DC line protection where polarity is fixed, offering lower leakage (<1.0 µA at 22 V) and tighter VBR tolerance than bidirectional variants. In contrast, SMBJ22CA provides symmetrical clamping for AC or polarity-agnostic signals but exhibits higher leakage and slightly reduced clamping efficiency. SMBJ22AHE3/5B is not interchangeable with SMBJ22CA without circuit redesign.
What is the thermal resistance and recommended pad layout for SMBJ22AHE3/5B?
The SMBJ22AHE3/5B has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended pad layout: 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This layout is specified in the Vishay datasheet and essential to achieve rated power dissipation and avoid thermal derating. Deviations reduce surge endurance and long-term reliability.
