Product details
Overview
SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features a 22 V standoff voltage (VWM), 24.4–26.9 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and clamps to ≤35.5 V at 16.9 A peak surge current - used for protecting MOSFETs, sensor interfaces, and industrial I/O lines against ESD and inductive switching spikes.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H pinout, SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H application, or SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H equivalent, this device is selected for robust bidirectional transient suppression in automotive-grade (AEC-Q101 qualified), industrial, and telecom power/signal line protection where low clamping voltage, fast response (<1 ns), and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility are required.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates symmetrically in both directions due to its bidirectional construction, enabling protection of AC-coupled or differential signal paths without polarity concerns. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance and long-term reliability under repetitive surge stress.
The device delivers 600 W peak pulse power handling with a 10/1000 µs waveform and exhibits low incremental surge resistance - critical for minimizing voltage overshoot during fast transients. Thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W) and junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C) support operation in harsh ambient environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 22 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin below breakdown. |
| VBR (min/max) | 24.4 V / 26.9 V at 1 mA - guaranteed breakdown threshold range; ensures consistent turn-on across production lots. |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤35.5 V at 16.9 A - clamped voltage during 600 W transient; determines maximum stress imposed on downstream circuitry. |
| IPPM | 16.9 A - peak surge current capability with 10/1000 µs waveform; quantifies transient energy absorption capacity. |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power rating; defines transient energy handling per IEEE C62.35 standard test conditions. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables use in high-ambient industrial and automotive under-hood applications. |
| MSL Level | Level 1 (per J-STD-020) - supports standard SMT reflow without moisture sensitivity concerns or baking requirements. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, bidirectional configuration with no polarity marking. Dimensions: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm (L × W × H); matte tin-plated leads, solderable per J-STD-002.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Transient current entry (bidirectional) | Accepts surge current from either direction; connects to protected line or node requiring clamping. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ22CA-M3/52 | Same electrical specs; halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, commercial grade (non-AEC-Q101). | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs not requiring AEC-Q101 validation. | Select when cost-sensitive non-automotive programs require identical clamping performance without automotive testing overhead. |
| SAC22CA | Lower peak power (400 W), smaller SOD-123FL package, higher VC/VBR ratio (~1.55). | Targeted at space-constrained consumer electronics; insufficient for 600 W industrial transients. | Choose only for compact, low-energy applications where PCB area is critical and surge levels remain below 400 W. |
Compared with SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H, the SMBJ22CA-M3/52 offers identical protection performance without automotive qualification, while SAC22CA trades power handling and clamping efficiency for footprint reduction - making SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H the optimal choice for AEC-Q101-compliant, high-energy transient environments.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H?
The "CA" suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration, meaning SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H provides symmetrical clamping for both positive and negative transients - unlike unidirectional "A" variants that protect only one polarity. This makes SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H ideal for AC-coupled circuits, differential buses, and applications where voltage polarity cannot be assumed, such as RS-485 or sensor signal lines.
Is SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H qualified for automotive use?
Yes, SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HE3" suffix in its part number. This qualification validates its reliability under automotive temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and surge stress conditions - enabling use in engine control units, ADAS sensors, and body electronics where failure is not acceptable.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H is 35.5 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 16.9 A, tested with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value represents the highest voltage seen across SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H during worst-case transient events and directly determines the overvoltage stress imposed on downstream components like microcontrollers or interface ICs.
How does SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H differ from unidirectional SMBJ22AHE3_B/H?
SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H is bidirectional with no cathode marking and symmetrical VBR in both directions, whereas SMBJ22AHE3_B/H is unidirectional with a cathode band and only conducts surge current from anode to cathode. SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H is used where polarity is undefined or alternating; SMBJ22AHE3_B/H suits DC power rail protection with known polarity and lower leakage at VWM.
What PCB layout considerations apply to SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H?
For optimal performance, SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H should be mounted using the recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal to ensure thermal dissipation and surge current handling. Short, low-inductance traces to ground or return paths are essential to minimize let-through voltage - especially critical in high-speed signal line protection where parasitic inductance degrades clamping effectiveness.
