Product details
Overview
SMF22A-HE3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional surface-mount ESD protection diode in the SMF (DO-219AB) package, designed for clamping transient overvoltages on signal or power lines. It features a 22 V standoff voltage (VRWM), 24.4–27 V reverse breakdown range (VBR), 5.6 A peak pulse current (IPPM) at 10/1000 μs, 35.5 V maximum clamping voltage (VC), and 271 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V - optimized for high-speed USB 2.0, HDMI, and industrial I/O port protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMF22A-HE3-08 datasheet, SMF22A-HE3-08 pinout, SMF22A-HE3-08 application, or SMF22A-HE3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under IEC 61000-4-2 ±30 kV contact discharge, low incremental surge resistance, AEC-Q101 qualification status, SOD-123W-compatible footprint, and thermal robustness up to +175 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-channel unidirectional TVS diode, leveraging silicon avalanche technology to provide fast-response transient suppression. Its low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.35) and sub-nanosecond response time ensure effective protection of sensitive downstream ICs against ESD, EFT, and lightning-induced surges.
The SMF22A-HE3-08 is rated for 200 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 1000 W (8/20 μs), and supports reflow/wave soldering per J-STD-020 MSL level 1. It meets AEC-Q101 stress tests including HBM >8 kV and IEC 61000-4-2 ±30 kV contact/air discharge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 22 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; sets minimum system operating margin. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 24.4–27 V at 1 mA - defines onset of avalanche conduction; ensures reliable triggering above normal signal swing. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 35.5 V at 5.6 A (10/1000 μs) - peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge; critical for IC survivability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ22A-E3/57T | Higher clamping voltage (41.5 V), larger SMA (DO-214AC) package, 3.5 mm × 4.5 mm footprint. | Lower capacitance (150 pF) but less space-efficient; better for RF-sensitive circuits where layout area permits. | Select when lower capacitance outweighs board space constraints and higher VC is acceptable for 3.3 V systems. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 2-channel, 15 pF dual-channel ESD array; not AEC-Q101 qualified; 5 V VRWM; SC-70 package. | Designed for high-speed data lines (USB, HDMI); unsuitable for 22 V power rail protection. | Choose only for low-voltage, multi-line signal protection where ultra-low capacitance is mandatory and automotive qualification is not required. |
Compared with SMAJ22A-E3/57T and TPD2E001DRYR, the SMF22A-HE3-08 delivers optimal balance of compact DO-219AB size, automotive-grade reliability, and clamping performance tailored for 22 V industrial and automotive power/signal lines - neither alternative matches its combination of standoff voltage, package profile, and qualification scope.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMF22A-HE3-08 under standard test conditions?
The SMF22A-HE3-08 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V when subjected to a 5.6 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at the device terminals and represents the highest voltage the protected circuit will experience during a standardized surge event - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Is the SMF22A-HE3-08 qualified to AEC-Q101, and what does that qualification cover?
Yes, the SMF22A-HE3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified. This certification confirms successful completion of stress tests including human body model ESD (>8 kV), temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - validating its suitability for automotive electronic control units, infotainment systems, and body electronics where long-term reliability is essential.
What is the junction capacitance of the SMF22A-HE3-08, and how does it affect high-speed signal lines?
The SMF22A-HE3-08 exhibits 271 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz. While higher than some ultra-low-capacitance arrays, this value is well-suited for full-speed USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and industrial RS-485 links, where signal integrity remains intact due to controlled edge rates and proper PCB layout - verified in Vishay's application notes for SMF-series placement near connectors.
Can the SMF22A-HE3-08 be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No - the SMF22A-HE3-08 is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended for DC-biased or ground-referenced lines. For true bidirectional protection (e.g., AC-coupled data lines), two SMF22A-HE3-08 devices must be connected anode-to-anode or a dedicated bidirectional part like SMBJ22CA should be selected instead.
What is the recommended PCB footprint and soldering profile for the SMF22A-HE3-08?
The SMF22A-HE3-08 uses the DO-219AB outline, matching SOD-123W land patterns: 2.9 mm × 1.4 mm pad length/width with 1.3 mm spacing. Reflow soldering follows J-STD-020, peak temperature ≤260 °C, and MSL level 1 handling - no baking required. Vishay provides detailed footprint recommendations in document S8-V-3915.01-001.
