Product details
Overview
SMBJ22AHM3_B/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) 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 (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed on power rails and signal lines in industrial motor drives and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ22AHM3_B/I datasheet, SMBJ22AHM3_B/I pinout, SMBJ22AHM3_B/I application, or SMBJ22AHM3_B/I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free RoHS compliance, and real-world clamping performance data essential for surge immunity validation in IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 designs.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-banded polarity, leveraging a glass-passivated silicon junction to achieve sub-nanosecond response time and low incremental surge resistance. Its 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) and 20 °C/W junction-to-lead (RθJL) support reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature under pulsed stress.
The SMBJ22AHM3_B/I meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak, uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive applications - distinguishing it from commercial-grade E3/M3 variants by enhanced reliability testing and traceable wafer lot control.
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 for protected circuitry. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 24.4–26.9 V at 1 mA - Voltage at which device enters avalanche conduction; ensures precise triggering above normal operating range. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 35.5 V at IPPM = 16.9 A - Peak voltage seen by downstream IC during 10/1000 µs surge; determines actual stress on protected load. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Sustained energy absorption capability under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform; validates compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 surge test levels. |
| ID (Reverse Leakage) | 1.0 µA max. at VWM - Ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity and minimizes standby power loss in high-impedance nodes. |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; enables deployment in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures without forced cooling. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Standardized surface-mount outline with 5.59 mm × 4.06 mm footprint and 2.20 mm height; compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, unidirectional configuration with cathode indicated by a band on the case body. Terminals are matte tin-plated leads, solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or lowest potential node; completes clamping path during positive transients on cathode side. |
| Cathode | High-side surge input terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail or CAN_H); conducts avalanche current to anode when voltage exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables single-device protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV/2 Ω) surges on 24 V systems without parallel staging. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ22AHE3_B/I | Same electrical specs but RoHS-compliant commercial grade (non-AEC-Q101); no automotive qualification testing. | Limited to industrial/commercial use where AEC-Q101 is not mandated; lower cost for non-automotive BOMs. | Select when automotive qualification is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized over extended reliability validation. |
| SMAJ22A-M3/A | Lower PPPM (400 W vs. 600 W); SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 140 °C/W). | Suitable only for lower-energy transients (<400 W) and space-constrained layouts where thermal margin permits. | Choose only if system-level surge testing confirms 400 W sufficiency and board area constraints prohibit SMB footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ22AHM3_B/I, the HE3 variant lacks AEC-Q101 validation and long-term automotive reliability data, while the SMAJ22A-M3/A sacrifices 33 % pulse power headroom and thermal performance - making SMBJ22AHM3_B/I the optimal choice for mission-critical 24 V automotive and industrial surge protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ22AHM3_B/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ22AHM3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 16.9 A, measured under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events and is critical for ensuring downstream components like microcontrollers or MOSFETs remain within safe operating limits. The SMBJ22AHM3_B/I maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ22AHM3_B/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ22AHM3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by its HM3 suffix and documentation in Vishay's ordering information table. This qualification includes rigorous stress testing for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD robustness - making SMBJ22AHM3_B/I suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics such as body control modules and power distribution units where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is essential.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in SMBJ22AHM3_B/I?
The "HM3" suffix in SMBJ22AHM3_B/I denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. Specifically, "H" indicates AEC-Q101 qualification, "M" signifies halogen-free molding compound, and "3" confirms RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. This distinguishes SMBJ22AHM3_B/I from commercial-grade variants like E3 (RoHS only) or HE3 (AEC-Q101 + RoHS, but not halogen-free), ensuring alignment with automotive environmental and reliability standards.
How does SMBJ22AHM3_B/I compare to SMBJ22AHE3_B/I in terms of reliability?
SMBJ22AHM3_B/I provides superior reliability over SMBJ22AHE3_B/I due to its AEC-Q101 qualification, which mandates additional stress tests including HTGB, H3TRB, and ESD verification beyond standard JEDEC requirements. While both share identical electrical parameters and RoHS compliance, SMBJ22AHM3_B/I undergoes wafer-level screening and lot traceability required for automotive deployment - making it the preferred choice where field failure rates must meet ASIL-B or zero-defect expectations.
What is the thermal resistance profile of SMBJ22AHM3_B/I and how does it affect layout design?
SMBJ22AHM3_B/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W and junction-to-lead (RθJL) of 20 °C/W, measured on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads. These values require PCB layout with adequate copper pour on both anode and cathode pads to sustain repetitive surge duty cycles. For high-frequency surge environments, designers should minimize trace inductance and ensure ≥5.0 mm² total copper area per terminal to maintain clamping performance and prevent thermal runaway during sustained transient events.
