Product details
Overview
SMBJ22HE3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features 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), clamping voltage of 35.5 V at 16.9 A, and operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature - deployed on power rails and signal lines in automotive ECUs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ22HE3/52 datasheet, SMBJ22HE3/52 pinout, SMBJ22HE3/52 application, or SMBJ22HE3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, 1.0 μA max reverse leakage at VWM, 100 A IFSM surge rating, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that enters avalanche conduction when transient voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold, diverting surge current away from protected circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and low incremental surge resistance, while the SMB package supports high thermal dissipation (RθJA = 100 °C/W) under repetitive 0.01% duty cycle pulses.
The SMBJ22HE3/52 variant is AEC-Q101 qualified and RoHS-compliant, with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Polarity is marked by a cathode band; it is not rated for bidirectional operation and does not support CA-suffix configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 22 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC/AC working range on protected line |
| VBR (min/max) | 24.4 V / 26.9 V at IT = 1 mA - precise breakdown onset window ensuring reliable triggering without premature conduction |
| VC @ IPPM | 35.5 V at 16.9 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 μs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on downstream ICs |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling capability under standardized 10/1000 μs waveform; validates protection level against IEC 61000-4-5 surges |
| ID @ VWM | 1.0 μA - ultra-low reverse leakage at stand-off voltage; minimizes standby power loss and avoids false triggering |
| IFSM | 100 A - non-repetitive forward surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine); supports protection against load dump events in automotive systems |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables deployment in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, low-profile case with matte tin-plated leads. Dimensions: 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.20 mm (L × W × H). Mounting requires 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal per Vishay recommendation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink node | Connected to protected line; conducts avalanche current to ground during overvoltage event |
| Anode | Reference/return path | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return plane; completes clamping current path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock per JESD22 standards |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR over lifetime and improved resistance to moisture-induced degradation vs. epoxy-passivated alternatives |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Provides protection against Level 4 IEC 61000-4-5 surges (4 kV line-to-ground) without derating in standard PCB layouts |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles without pre-baking; eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.39) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during transients - critical for safeguarding 3.3 V and 5 V logic interfaces |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V battery-fed microcontroller power inputs in engine control units against load dump and jump-start transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamping TVS placed between VIN and GND, activated within <1 ps of overvoltage onset.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ22A-E3/52 | Commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), identical electrical specs and SMB package | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs without automotive lifecycle or reliability requirements | Select when AEC-Q101 is not mandated and cost optimization is prioritized |
| SMCJ22AHE3/52 | Same VWM/VBR/VC ratings but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package with 1500 W PPPM rating | Higher power handling enables use in higher-energy surge environments (e.g., 48 V industrial buses), but requires larger PCB area | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W or when thermal margin must be increased beyond SMB limits |
Compared with SMBJ22A-E3/52, the SMBJ22HE3/52 adds AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use without altering electrical performance; versus SMCJ22AHE3/52, it trades 2.5× lower peak power for 30% smaller footprint and tighter layout integration in space-constrained modules.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMBJ22HE3/52?
The SMBJ22HE3/52 is a unidirectional TVS diode, with the cathode identified by a visible band on the SMB package body. It conducts only when the cathode is at a higher potential than the anode - making it suitable for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed. Bidirectional variants use the "CA" suffix (e.g., SMBJ22CA), which SMBJ22HE3/52 does not support.
Does SMBJ22HE3/52 meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, SMBJ22HE3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HE3". This certification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and ESD robustness - validating its suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics where reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is critical.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ22HE3/52 under surge conditions?
The SMBJ22HE3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 16.9 A, measured using the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events and is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (-55 °C to +150 °C).
Can SMBJ22HE3/52 be used in bidirectional signal line protection?
No, SMBJ22HE3/52 is strictly unidirectional and must not be used on AC or bidirectional signal paths without external circuitry. For bidirectional protection, Vishay specifies the SMBJ22CA variant - which shares the same VWM and VC ratings but features symmetrical breakdown in both directions. Using SMBJ22HE3/52 on bidirectional lines risks forward conduction and failure during negative transients.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for SMBJ22HE3/52?
Vishay specifies mounting SMBJ22HE3/52 on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal to achieve rated thermal and surge performance. Smaller pads reduce heat dissipation and may cause premature thermal runaway during repetitive surges. The SMB (DO-214AA) outline drawing confirms terminal spacing of 3.94 mm and overall length of 4.57 mm, requiring precise stencil aperture design for consistent solder joint formation.
