Product details
Overview
SMBJ22CHE3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping fast-rising ESD and surge transients on power and signal lines. 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, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies and automotive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ22CHE3/5B datasheet, SMBJ22CHE3/5B pinout, SMBJ22CHE3/5B application, or SMBJ22CHE3/5B equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), junction temperature range (−55 to +150 °C), and RoHS-compliant packaging configuration for production-grade surge protection design.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device: reverse-biased during normal operation, it remains high-impedance until transient voltage exceeds VWM (22 V), then avalanches rapidly to limit voltage across protected circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1 µA at VWM).
Engineered for automotive-grade reliability, SMBJ22CHE3/5B meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements and is rated for repetitive 600 W surges (10/1000 µs, 0.01% duty cycle) with low incremental surge resistance and <1 ns response time - enabling robust protection against inductive switching spikes and ISO 7637-2 load dump transients in 24 V systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 22 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin for 24 V nominal systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 24.4 V / 26.9 V at IT = 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range ensuring consistent avalanche initiation under surge conditions. |
| VC @ IPPM | 35.5 V at 16.9 A - Clamped voltage during 600 W transient; limits downstream IC stress below 36 V absolute maximum ratings. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 µs waveform; supports repeated surge events in industrial motor drives. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Non-repetitive forward surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine); enables compatibility with high-energy inrush scenarios. |
| TJ range | −55 °C to +150 °C - Full automotive-grade junction temperature range; validated for under-hood and engine-control module environments. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads; informs PCB thermal layout for sustained power dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile case with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Cathode indicated by band marking on body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / Surge return path | Connected to ground or low-impedance return plane; completes clamping loop during transient events. |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased input / Protected line connection | Connected to line being protected (e.g., 24 V rail or sensor output); conducts avalanche current when VIN > VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements - enables use in ADAS ECUs and body control modules without requalification. |
| 600 W peak pulse power | Handles high-energy transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) without degradation - critical for 24 V commercial vehicle systems. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.39) | Minimizes overvoltage exposure during clamping - reduces risk of latch-up or gate oxide damage in protected MOSFETs and microcontrollers. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles - eliminates moisture sensitivity concerns during SMT assembly. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1 µA) over temperature and lifetime - improves long-term reliability in harsh environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ22AHE3/5B | No AEC-Q101 qualification; identical electrical specs and package. | Restricted to commercial/industrial use; not approved for automotive OEM designs. | Select SMBJ22AHE3/5B only when automotive qualification is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized. |
| SMAJ22AHE3/A | Lower 400 W PPPM; SMA (DO-214AC) package with smaller footprint and higher RθJA (140 °C/W). | Limited to lower-energy transients; requires tighter thermal management on PCB. | Choose SMAJ22AHE3/A only for space-constrained consumer applications where 400 W surge capacity suffices. |
Compared with SMBJ22AHE3/5B and SMAJ22AHE3/A, SMBJ22CHE3/5B uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 600 W surge capability, and SMB package thermal performance - making it the sole option qualified for automotive power rail protection requiring full ISO 7637-2 compliance.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ22CHE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ22CHE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V at its rated peak pulse current of 16.9 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured under standardized test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ22CHE3/5B maintains this clamping performance consistently due to its glass-passivated junction and low incremental surge resistance.
Is SMBJ22CHE3/5B qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ22CHE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HE3" and documentation in datasheet 88392. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD - validating SMBJ22CHE3/5B for use in automotive electronic control units, body modules, and powertrain subsystems where reliability under harsh environmental conditions is required.
What does the "5B" in SMBJ22CHE3/5B indicate?
The "5B" in SMBJ22CHE3/5B denotes the preferred package code specifying 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel packaging with a base quantity of 3200 units. This format supports high-volume automated SMT placement and is distinct from "52" (7-inch reel, 750 units). The "HE3" suffix confirms RoHS-compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification, while "SMBJ22C" identifies the 22 V unidirectional variant within the SMBJ family.
How does SMBJ22CHE3/5B differ from bidirectional variants like SMBJ22CHE3/5B-CA?
SMBJ22CHE3/5B is unidirectional and features polarity marking (cathode band); it conducts only in reverse breakdown. Bidirectional variants such as SMBJ22CHE3/5B-CA do not have polarity markings and suppress transients in both directions - but SMBJ22CHE3/5B-CA does not exist in Vishay's official ordering matrix. True bidirectional equivalents use "CA" suffix (e.g., SMBJ22CAHE3/5B), which exhibits symmetric VBR and no cathode band - making them unsuitable as direct replacements without circuit redesign.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ22CHE3/5B, and how does it affect PCB layout?
SMBJ22CHE3/5B has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value directly impacts PCB copper area requirements: reducing pad size increases thermal impedance, risking junction overheating during repetitive surges. For sustained 5.0 W power dissipation, designers must ensure adequate copper pour and consider thermal vias to inner ground planes to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C.
