Product details
Overview
SMBJ22AHE3_B/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed to protect sensitive electronics against voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lightning surges. 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).
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ22AHE3_B/I datasheet, SMBJ22AHE3_B/I pinout, SMBJ22AHE3_B/I application, or SMBJ22AHE3_B/I equivalent, this device is selected for robust overvoltage protection in automotive power rails, industrial sensor interfaces, and DC power supply inputs where AEC-Q101 qualification, low clamping ratio, and fast response time are critical.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-band polarity marking, leveraging a glass-passivated silicon junction for stable avalanche behavior. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W) and junction temperature range (–55 °C to +150 °C) support operation in harsh environments including automotive under-hood applications.
The SMBJ22AHE3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified and RoHS-compliant, with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. It meets MSL level 1 (peak reflow 260 °C) and exhibits a low incremental surge resistance and excellent clamping capability under repetitive 10/1000 μs transients at 0.01% duty cycle.

Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 24 V CAN bus power lines and microcontroller supply rails in body control modules against load dump and jump-start surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamp placed between battery rail and LDO input to limit transient overvoltage before regulation. Use Value: Withstands 600 W pulses while clamping below 36 V, preventing damage to 36 V-rated regulators and ensuring ASIL-B functional safety compliance. | Use Scenario: Shielding analog front-end inputs of pressure/temperature sensors in factory automation PLCs from ESD and inductive switching noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response shunt protector across sensor signal and ground, diverting sub-100 ns transients before they reach precision ADC inputs. Use Value: 1.0 μA leakage at 22 V preserves sensor offset accuracy; 35.5 V clamping prevents ADC saturation during 4 kV ESD events. |
| DC Power Supply Input Protection | Telecom Line Card Surge Suppression |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding primary-side inputs of AC/DC adapters and PoE injectors against lightning-induced surges on 24–48 V DC distribution lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage overvoltage clamp upstream of fuse and filter inboard of connector, absorbing bulk surge energy. Use Value: 16.9 A IPPM rating enables handling of 10/1000 μs surges up to 600 W without degradation, extending system MTBF. | Use Scenario: Protecting Ethernet PHY power and bias rails on telecom line cards exposed to induced surges from nearby AC mains or antenna coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-clamp TVS on 3.3 V or 5 V auxiliary rails feeding PHY ICs and magnetics bias circuits. Use Value: Tight VBR tolerance (±5.2%) ensures predictable clamping onset; AEC-Q101 qualification supports extended field life in outdoor cabinets. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ22AHM3_B/I | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified - identical electrical specs and package | No functional difference; selected when halogen-free material compliance is required per IPC-1752 or customer green policy | Direct substitution if halogen-free content is mandated; same thermal and clamping performance |
| SMBJ22A-E3/5B | Commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), same VWM/VBR/VC/PPPM, but packaged in 13" reel (3200 pcs) with different suffix coding | Not qualified for automotive use; suitable for industrial/commercial designs without automotive reliability requirements | Lower-cost option for non-automotive applications; verify qualification status aligns with end-equipment standards |
Compared with SMBJ22AHE3_B/I, the HM3 variant adds halogen-free compliance without performance trade-offs, while the E3/5B version omits AEC-Q101 qualification-making it viable only where automotive reliability testing is not required.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ22AHE3_B/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ22AHE3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V at 16.9 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a 600 W transient event and is critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings. The SMBJ22AHE3_B/I maintains this clamping performance across its qualified temperature range.
Is SMBJ22AHE3_B/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ22AHE3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified and specifically intended for automotive use, including engine control units, body electronics, and infotainment power supplies. Its qualification covers temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and board-level reliability tests required for under-hood and cabin-mounted systems. The "HE3" suffix explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 compliance, distinguishing it from commercial-grade variants like SMBJ22A-E3/5B.
What does the "B/I" suffix mean in SMBJ22AHE3_B/I?
The "B/I" suffix in SMBJ22AHE3_B/I indicates the packaging configuration: "B" denotes the revision code (per Vishay's internal revision tracking), and "I" specifies the delivery mode-13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel containing 3200 units. This matches the ordering information in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number 88392, page 3), confirming full compatibility with high-volume SMT assembly lines requiring large reels.
How does SMBJ22AHE3_B/I differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBJ22CA?
SMBJ22AHE3_B/I is unidirectional and functions as a polarized clamp-conducting only when cathode voltage exceeds anode by >VBR-making it ideal for DC power line protection. In contrast, SMBJ22CA is bidirectional, symmetrically clamping both positive and negative transients, suited for AC signal lines or data buses. The SMBJ22AHE3_B/I offers lower leakage (<1.0 μA) and higher surge current capability in its forward direction, whereas SMBJ22CA provides balanced clamping but with doubled ID limit for VWM ≤10 V (not applicable here).
What is the thermal resistance and maximum junction temperature of SMBJ22AHE3_B/I?
SMBJ22AHE3_B/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads, and a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C. These values enable reliable operation in ambient temperatures up to +125 °C when power dissipation remains within derated limits, supporting use in engine compartments and industrial enclosures without forced cooling.
