Product details
Overview
SMBJ22CAHM3_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 stand-off 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 MOSFET gates, sensor interfaces, and industrial I/O lines against ESD and inductive switching spikes.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H datasheet, SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H pinout, SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H application, or SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free RoHS compliance (HM3 suffix), thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates symmetrically in both directions, enabling protection of AC-coupled or differential signal paths without polarity constraints. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), while the 10/1000 µs waveform rating reflects real-world lightning and inductive load surge immunity per ANSI/IEEE C62.35.
The device is rated for -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. The HM3 suffix confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and AEC-Q101 qualification - critical for automotive body electronics and industrial control modules requiring long-term reliability under thermal cycling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 22 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin for 24 V nominal systems. |
| VBR min/max | 24.4 V / 26.9 V at 1 mA - verified breakdown range ensures predictable turn-on during transients without premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤35.5 V at 16.9 A - clamping voltage limits stress on downstream ICs such as microcontrollers or RS-485 transceivers. |
| PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 µs) - handles high-energy surges from relay coil flyback or motor commutation without failure. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor front-ends and battery-powered nodes. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - supports operation in engine bay or industrial enclosures where ambient temperatures exceed 105 °C. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - requires minimum 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad per terminal for thermal derating compliance at full power. |
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, compliant with J-STD-002 solderability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Transient current entry (bidirectional) | Acts as cathode during positive half-cycle; accepts surge current from either direction into the junction. |
| Cathode | Transient current entry (bidirectional) | Acts as anode during negative half-cycle; completes symmetrical clamping path without external biasing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping | Enables single-device protection of AC signals, differential buses (e.g., CAN, RS-485), and ungrounded sensor outputs without polarity concerns. |
| 600 W peak pulse power | Withstands IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV surge) when mounted on recommended 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified (HM3) | Validated for automotive applications including body control modules, lighting drivers, and infotainment I/O protection. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance for long-term solder joint reliability. |
| Fast response time (<1 ps) | Clamps transients before sensitive CMOS inputs experience overvoltage damage - critical for protecting 3.3 V/5 V logic interfaces. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H | Same electrical specs, but RoHS-compliant without halogen restriction (E3 vs HM3); not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Suitable for commercial/industrial use only; excluded from automotive production due to missing AEC-Q101 validation. | Select SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H only if halogen-free requirement is waived and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| SMAJ22CAHM3_A/H | Lower peak pulse power (400 W vs 600 W); same VWM/VBR, but smaller SMA package (DO-214AC) with higher RθJA (140 °C/W). | Limited to lower-energy transients; requires larger derating above 75 °C ambient; unsuitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4. | Choose SMAJ22CAHM3_A/H only when board space is constrained and surge energy remains below 400 W capability. |
Compared with SMBJ22CAHE3_B/H and SMAJ22CAHM3_A/H, the SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free compliance, and 600 W surge handling in the SMB footprint - making it the only option qualified for automotive-grade 24 V system protection where both reliability and regulatory compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H?
The "CA" suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration, meaning SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H provides symmetrical clamping for both positive and negative voltage transients. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., SMBJ22AHM3_B/H), it has no cathode band marking and functions identically in either polarity - ideal for protecting AC-coupled lines, differential buses, or floating sensor outputs without polarity constraints.
Is SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H is AEC-Q101 qualified (confirmed by HM3 suffix) and rated for -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. It meets automotive surge immunity standards including ISO 7637-2 and IEC 61000-4-5 when mounted per Vishay's recommended pad layout. This makes SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H appropriate for body control modules, lighting drivers, and infotainment system I/O protection in production vehicles.
How does the HM3 suffix differ from E3 or HE3 in SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H?
The HM3 suffix in SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H specifies halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction *and* AEC-Q101 qualification. In contrast, E3 indicates RoHS compliance only (no halogen restriction, no AEC-Q101), while HE3 adds AEC-Q101 but lacks halogen-free certification. Thus, SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H is the only variant satisfying all three requirements: RoHS, halogen-free, and automotive qualification.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H is 35.5 V at 16.9 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed per Vishay's datasheet and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V logic) remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Can SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H replace SMBJ22A in a design?
No - SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H is bidirectional, whereas SMBJ22A is unidirectional and features a cathode band marking. Substituting SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H for SMBJ22A would eliminate polarity-dependent forward conduction behavior and may compromise protection in DC-biased circuits. Use SMBJ22CAHM3_B/H only where bidirectional clamping is explicitly required; for unidirectional applications, select SMBJ22AHM3_B/H instead.
