Product details
Overview
SMBJ22CD-M3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal and power lines. It features a 22 V stand-off 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.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ22CD-M3/I datasheet, SMBJ22CD-M3/I pinout, SMBJ22CD-M3/I application, or SMBJ22CD-M3/I 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 consumer, industrial, and telecom PCBs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped protection element across bidirectional signal or DC bus lines, responding within picoseconds to ESD and lightning-induced surges. Its symmetrical I-V characteristic enables identical clamping in both polarities, with low incremental surge resistance ensuring minimal voltage overshoot during high-current transients.
The SMBJ22CD-M3/I uses silicon avalanche junction technology optimized for repetitive 10/1000 μs waveform suppression at up to 0.01 % duty cycle. Thermal design relies on its 125 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance when mounted on minimum recommended pad layout, and it sustains operation from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 22 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR min/max | 24.8 V / 26.6 V at 1 mA - tight ±3.5 % tolerance ensures predictable turn-on across production lots |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤35.1 V at 17.1 A - clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during 600 W surge events |
| PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 μs) - rated surge energy handling for industrial-grade transient immunity |
| ID @ VWM | <0.5 μA - negligible leakage preserves signal integrity and battery life in always-on circuits |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - standardized surface-mount outline compatible with IPC-7351B footprint and pick-and-place equipment |
| MSL Level | Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow) - supports standard lead-free soldering without pre-baking |
Pinout & Package
Two-terminal device in SMB (DO-214AA) package; no polarity marking for bidirectional operation. Cathode band omitted per specification for CD-suffix variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Transient current entry (positive half-cycle) | Connects to protected line; conducts avalanche current when voltage exceeds VBR in negative polarity |
| Cathode | Transient current entry (negative half-cycle) | Connects to protected line; conducts avalanche current when voltage exceeds VBR in positive polarity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 | Same VWM/VBR/PPPM specs; differs in packaging (tape-and-reel quantity 2500 vs. 3200) and MSL rating (Level 1 vs. unspecified in older revision) | No functional difference in circuit protection; may require requalification if MSL compliance is audited | Select SMBJ22CD-M3/I when full MSL Level 1 traceability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance are required |
| P6SMB22CA | Identical electrical specs but legacy Vishay part number; same SMB package, 600 W rating, bidirectional, 22 V VWM | Same PCB footprint and performance; minor differences in test conditions per revision history | Acceptable drop-in alternative where legacy BOM continuity is prioritized over latest M3 suffix compliance |
Compared with SMBJ22CA-E3/52 and P6SMB22CA, the SMBJ22CD-M3/I provides verified MSL Level 1 handling, halogen-free construction, and documented JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance-critical for high-reliability industrial and automotive production programs requiring long-term solderability assurance.

FAQ
What does the "CD" suffix indicate in SMBJ22CD-M3/I?
The "CD" suffix in SMBJ22CD-M3/I denotes a bidirectional configuration, meaning the device provides symmetrical transient voltage suppression in both polarities. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., SMBJ22D), it has no cathode band and functions identically whether voltage polarity reverses-ideal for AC-coupled signals, differential buses, or floating power rails where polarity is undefined or alternating.
Is SMBJ22CD-M3/I suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 surge testing?
Yes, SMBJ22CD-M3/I is rated for 600 W peak pulse power with a 10/1000 μs waveform, which aligns with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV) open-circuit voltage testing when properly implemented with appropriate series impedance. Its clamping voltage of ≤35.1 V at 17.1 A ensures protected ICs remain within safe operating limits during standardized surge events.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ22CD-M3/I under standard mounting conditions?
The SMBJ22CD-M3/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 125 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended PCB pad layout per Vishay's datasheet. This value increases if copper area is reduced and decreases with larger thermal pads or internal ground planes-designers should reference Figure 5 in Document Number 87606 for derating curves versus ambient temperature.
Does SMBJ22CD-M3/I require a heatsink for continuous operation?
No, SMBJ22CD-M3/I does not require an external heatsink for transient suppression duty cycles (e.g., 0.01 %), as its 600 W rating applies to short-duration pulses. For steady-state dissipation, its 1.0 W rating at TA = 25 °C means continuous DC power must remain far below this level-typical use involves only momentary clamping, so PCB copper acts as sufficient thermal mass without added heatsinking.
How does the M3 suffix affect SMBJ22CD-M3/I's compliance and reliability?
The M3 suffix in SMBJ22CD-M3/I certifies halogen-free, RoHS-compliant materials and passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing-ensuring long-term solder joint integrity in high-humidity or thermally cycled environments. It also meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, allowing direct placement into lead-free reflow ovens without pre-baking, unlike non-M3 variants that may require moisture-sensitive handling.
