Product details
Overview
SMBJ22CD-M3/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), 24.8–26.6 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), ≤0.5 μA reverse leakage at VWM, and clamps to ≤35.1 V at 17.1 A peak surge current - deployed in sensor interface protection for industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ22CD-M3/H datasheet, SMBJ22CD-M3/H pinout, SMBJ22CD-M3/H application, or SMBJ22CD-M3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, tight ±3.5 % VBR tolerance, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on PCBs requiring robust ESD and lightning surge immunity.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamping protector using avalanche breakdown in both polarities, enabling symmetrical transient suppression without polarity dependency. Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time ensure effective clamping of inductive switching spikes and ESD events before downstream ICs are damaged.
The SMBJ22CD-M3/H is rated for -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, with thermal resistance RθJA = 125 °C/W (on minimum pad layout) and RθJM = 20 °C/W, supporting reliable operation under repetitive surge conditions when mounted per recommended 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad area.
Key Specifications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS placed between LIN data line and ground, absorbing both positive and negative transients without DC blocking capacitors. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity under ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2/5a while adding <0.5 μA leakage that avoids bias current errors in current-sense circuits. |
| Telecom Power Feeding | Consumer USB-C Port Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Shielding PoE-powered Ethernet PHYs and auxiliary power rails (e.g., 12 V PSE side) from lightning-induced common-mode surges on twisted-pair cables. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Paired with common-mode chokes to clamp differential and common-mode overvoltages simultaneously on data pairs and power lines. Use Value: Withstands 600 W pulses without degradation, enabling compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Ed. 3, 4 kV line-to-ground test level. |
Use Scenario: Guarding USB-C CC and VCONN lines against ESD (IEC 61000-4-2 ±15 kV air/±8 kV contact) and hot-plug voltage overshoot during cable insertion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (<100 pF typical) bidirectional suppressor placed adjacent to connector to minimize stub length and preserve signal rise time. Use Value: Clamps ESD events within <1 ns while adding only 0.5 μA leakage - critical for maintaining USB PD negotiation accuracy and VCONN regulation stability. |
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-E3/52 (Vishay) | Same VWM/VBR/PPPM specs but M3/H suffix omitted; RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free; MSL Level 1 confirmed. | No difference in circuit function; differs only in material compliance and packaging tape/reel configuration (52 = 3200 pcs/reel). | Select SMBJ22CA-E3/52 if halogen-free requirement is waived and higher reel quantity is preferred. |
| 1.5SMC22CA (ON Semiconductor) | Same SMB package and bidirectional 22 V rating, but 1.5 kW peak power (10/1000 μs); higher VC (36.5 V) and wider VBR tolerance (±5 %). | Higher surge margin suits harsher environments (e.g., outdoor telecom), but larger VC may exceed protected IC's absolute max rating. | Choose 1.5SMC22CA only if system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W and downstream voltage margin allows ≥36.5 V clamping. |
Compared with SMBJ22CD-M3/H, SMBJ22CA-E3/52 offers identical electrical performance with relaxed environmental compliance, while 1.5SMC22CA trades tighter VBR control and lower clamping for higher surge headroom - making SMBJ22CD-M3/H optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial designs requiring halogen-free and precise clamping.

FAQ
What is the exact standoff voltage and breakdown range for SMBJ22CD-M3/H?
The SMBJ22CD-M3/H has a reverse standoff voltage (VWM) of 22 V and a breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 24.8 V to 26.6 V at 1 mA test current. This ±3.5 % tolerance is confirmed in Vishay's Document Number 87606, Revision 09-Jan-2024, ensuring consistent clamping behavior across manufacturing lots and temperature ranges.
Is SMBJ22CD-M3/H unidirectional or bidirectional, and how does that affect circuit placement?
SMBJ22CD-M3/H is a bidirectional TVS diode - it clamps transients of either polarity symmetrically, with no cathode band marking. This allows direct placement across any two nodes requiring mutual overvoltage protection (e.g., differential signal lines like RS-485 A/B or USB D+/D−), eliminating orientation checks during assembly and simplifying layout.
Does SMBJ22CD-M3/H meet moisture sensitivity and reflow requirements for automated SMT assembly?
Yes, SMBJ22CD-M3/H meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 with a maximum reflow peak temperature of 260 °C. Its halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and matte tin-plated leads ensure compatibility with standard lead-free reflow profiles and eliminate pre-baking requirements - critical for high-yield automated placement in volume production.
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ22CD-M3/H under maximum surge conditions?
At its rated peak pulse current of 17.1 A (10/1000 μs waveform), SMBJ22CD-M3/H clamps to a maximum voltage of 35.1 V. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events - essential for verifying compatibility with downstream IC absolute maximum ratings.
How does the thermal performance of SMBJ22CD-M3/H impact PCB layout?
SMBJ22CD-M3/H has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 125 °C/W on minimum recommended pad layout, dropping to 100 °C/W on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads. To sustain 600 W surge capability without thermal runaway, designers must implement at least this pad area and avoid excessive copper isolation around the SMB footprint.
