Product details
Overview
SMCJ22HE3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for bi-directional overvoltage protection in power and signal lines. It features a 22 V standoff voltage (VWM), 24.4–26.9 V breakdown range (VBR), 1500 W peak pulse power (PPPM), clamps to ≤35.5 V at 42.3 A, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ22HE3/57T datasheet, SMCJ22HE3/57T pinout, SMCJ22HE3/57T application, or SMCJ22HE3/57T equivalent, this device is selected for robust ESD and surge protection in automotive ECUs, industrial sensor interfaces, and DC power rails where high-energy transients must be suppressed without sacrificing response time or reliability.
Technical Context
The SMCJ22HE3/57T operates as a bi-directional avalanche diode with symmetrical clamping behavior in both polarities, enabling protection of AC-coupled or floating signal paths. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at 22 V), while its DO-214AB (SMCJ) package supports automated placement and meets MSL level 1 reflow requirements.
Designed for 10/1000 µs waveform compliance, it delivers 42.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with 35.5 V clamping voltage (VC), achieving low incremental surge resistance for minimal let-through energy. Thermal resistance is specified at RθJA = 75 °C/W and RθJL = 15 °C/W, supporting operation from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SMCJ22HE3/57T under maximum surge conditions?
The SMCJ22HE3/57T clamps to a maximum of 35.5 V at its rated peak pulse current of 42.3 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is guaranteed per Vishay's datasheet and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Is the SMCJ22HE3/57T suitable for bi-directional signal line protection?
Yes, the SMCJ22HE3/57T is explicitly designed for bi-directional applications. Its symmetric breakdown and clamping behavior in both polarities - confirmed by identical VBR min/max and VC specifications for forward and reverse directions - makes it ideal for protecting AC-coupled interfaces like CAN, LIN, RS-485, and audio lines without polarity concerns.
Does the SMCJ22HE3/57T meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the SMCJ22HE3/57T is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HE3" suffix. This certification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and ESD, validating its suitability for under-hood and cabin automotive applications such as body control modules, ADAS sensors, and infotainment systems.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum operating temperature of the SMCJ22HE3/57T?
The SMCJ22HE3/57T has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W and junction-to-lead (RθJL) of 15 °C/W. Its maximum operating junction temperature is +150 °C, enabling reliable operation in high-temperature environments like engine compartments and industrial motor drives when mounted on recommended 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads.
How does the SMCJ22HE3/57T differ from the SMCJ22A-E3/57T?
The SMCJ22HE3/57T is AEC-Q101 qualified and RoHS-compliant (HE3 suffix), whereas SMCJ22A-E3/57T carries the commercial-grade E3 suffix only. Both share identical electrical specs and DO-214AB packaging, but SMCJ22HE3/57T undergoes additional automotive reliability testing - making it mandatory for automotive Tier 1 designs requiring certified components.
