Product details
Overview
SMBJ22AHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in power and signal lines. It features a 22 V standoff voltage (VWM), 24.4–26.9 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 35.5 V clamping voltage (VC) at 16.9 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed to safeguard MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients and ESD in industrial and automotive electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ22AHE3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ22AHE3_B/H pinout, SMBJ22AHE3_B/H application, or SMBJ22AHE3_B/H equivalent, this AEC-Q101 qualified TVS offers validated surge immunity, low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.42), and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility - critical for high-reliability board-level protection design and automotive-grade BOM consolidation.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt device triggered above its reverse standoff threshold. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable avalanche behavior under repetitive 10/1000 µs surges up to 600 W, with thermal resistance RθJA = 100 °C/W enabling operation up to +150 °C junction temperature.
The SMBJ22AHE3_B/H uses a single-junction planar construction with cathode-band polarity marking, optimized for automated placement on SMB (DO-214AA) footprint. Its 0.096 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient ensures predictable breakdown drift across automotive temperature ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 22 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; defines safe working margin below clamping threshold |
| VBR @ IT = 1 mA | 24.4–26.9 V - verified avalanche onset range ensuring consistent turn-on across production lots |
| VC @ IPPM = 16.9 A | 35.5 V - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; limits downstream stress to ≤35.5 V under rated 600 W pulse |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling per JEDEC standard waveform; supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity |
| IFSM | 100 A - 8.3 ms half-sine surge rating for unidirectional devices; protects against power-rail fault currents |
| Junction Temp Range | −55 °C to +150 °C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and outdoor telecom equipment |

Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 24 V CAN bus power rails and LIN transceivers from load dump and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt clamping device placed between VBAT and GND, activated within <1 ns of overvoltage event. Use Value: Limits rail voltage to ≤35.5 V during 100 V/500 ms load dump, preventing damage to TJA1042 and similar transceivers. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed across driver VDD-GND pins to clamp supply rail excursions caused by parasitic coupling. Use Value: Maintains gate driver VDD within 35.5 V during 1 kV/µs dV/dt events, preventing false turn-on and shoot-through failure. |
Use Scenario: Front-end surge suppression on −48 V DC telecom power inputs subjected to lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS installed between −48 V rail and chassis ground to divert common-mode energy.

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_B/H | 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 public infrastructure projects) | Direct substitution if halogen-free bill-of-materials is required; same thermal and mechanical behavior |
| SMCJ22AHE3_A/H | Higher 1500 W peak pulse power rating in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; VBR and VC otherwise matched | Used where higher surge margin is needed (e.g., outdoor base station power inputs), but requires PCB layout change | Choose when 600 W is insufficient and board space allows SMC footprint; not pin-compatible |
Compared with SMBJ22AHE3_B/H, the HM3 variant offers identical protection performance with halogen-free construction, while the SMCJ22AHE3_A/H delivers 2.5× higher surge capacity at the cost of larger footprint and non-interchangeable mounting - guiding selection based on environmental compliance and surge severity requirements.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ22AHE3_B/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ22AHE3_B/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V at 16.9 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and guarantees that protected circuits experience no more than 35.5 V during worst-case surge events - a critical parameter for ensuring compatibility with 3.3 V, 5 V, and 24 V logic and power rails downstream of SMBJ22AHE3_B/H.
Is SMBJ22AHE3_B/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ22AHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HE3" and documentation in datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - validating SMBJ22AHE3_B/H for use in engine control modules, body electronics, and ADAS sensor subsystems where reliability under thermal and vibration stress is mandatory.
What does the "B/H" suffix in SMBJ22AHE3_B/H indicate?
The "B/H" suffix in SMBJ22AHE3_B/H denotes packaging configuration: "B" specifies the revision level (document revision B), and "H" indicates the preferred package code for 7″ diameter tape-and-reel delivery with 750 units per reel. This matches Vishay's official ordering information table and ensures correct logistics handling, reel orientation, and automated placement compatibility for SMBJ22AHE3_B/H in SMT production lines.
How does SMBJ22AHE3_B/H differ from bidirectional variants like SMBJ22CA?
SMBJ22AHE3_B/H is unidirectional, with polarity marked by a cathode band and intended for DC line protection where reverse conduction is not required. In contrast, SMBJ22CA is bidirectional, offering symmetrical clamping in both polarities - suitable for AC signal lines or differential buses. SMBJ22AHE3_B/H provides lower leakage (<1 µA at 22 V) and avoids ambiguity in grounding schemes, making it preferable for single-polarity power rails and sensor outputs where SMBJ22AHE3_B/H's directional behavior simplifies layout and improves noise margin.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ22AHE3_B/H, and how does it affect PCB layout?
SMBJ22AHE3_B/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on minimum recommended 0.2″ × 0.2″ (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes standard FR-4 board thickness and no internal plane heatsinking. To maintain junction temperature below 150 °C during repetitive surges, designers must allocate adequate copper area and avoid routing heat-sensitive components near SMBJ22AHE3_B/H - confirming thermal performance via simulation or empirical testing using the exact SMBJ22AHE3_B/H footprint and stack-up.
