Product details
Overview
SMF22A-HE3_A08 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 (VBR), 5.6 A peak pulse current (IPPM) at 10/1000 μs, 35.5 V maximum clamping voltage (VC), and 271 pF typical capacitance at 1 MHz - optimized for high-speed data lines including USB 2.0 and HDMI interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMF22A-HE3_A08 datasheet, SMF22A-HE3_A08 pinout, SMF22A-HE3_A08 application, or SMF22A-HE3_A08 equivalent, this device is selected for robust ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection, AEC-Q101 qualification, low clamping voltage under surge, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly using wave/reflow soldering.
Technical Context
The SMF22A-HE3_A08 operates as a single-channel unidirectional TVS diode, leveraging silicon avalanche technology to clamp transients above its reverse standoff voltage. Its low incremental surge resistance enables fast response (<1 ns) and stable clamping performance across temperature (−65 °C to +175 °C).
It complies with IEC 61000-4-2 (±30 kV contact/air discharge) and AEC-Q101 (H3B human body model >8 kV), and is rated for 200 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) and 1000 W (8/20 μs per IEC 61000-4-5). The device uses a planar junction structure housed in an ultra-low-profile SOD-123W-compatible DO-219AB package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 22 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin for 18–20 V nominal supply rails. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 24.4–27 V at 1 mA - ensures reliable turn-on during overvoltage events while avoiding false triggering during normal operation. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 35.5 V at 5.6 A (10/1000 μs) - limits downstream voltage stress to protect 3.3 V or 5 V logic interfaces and analog front-ends. |
| Peak Pulse Current (IPPM) | 5.6 A (10/1000 μs) - supports robust protection against common ESD and lightning-induced surges in industrial and automotive environments. |
| Capacitance (CD) | 271 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - suitable for <10 Mbps data lines (e.g., CAN, RS-485); low enough to avoid signal integrity degradation. |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds Level 4 immunity requirements for consumer, automotive, and industrial end-equipment. |
| Package | DO-219AB (SOD-123W-compatible) - 3.9 × 1.9 × 1.08 mm footprint enables high-density PCB layout and automated reflow assembly. |
Pinout & Package

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 | Same 22 V VRWM and DO-214AC (SMA) package; higher IPPM (12.3 A) but larger footprint (4.5 × 2.7 mm) and 400 pF capacitance. | Better suited for power-line protection where size and capacitance are less critical than surge handling. | Select SMAJ22A-E3/57T when higher surge current rating is required and board space allows larger package. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 2-channel, 15 pF dual ESD array in USON-6; lower capacitance but only 12 kV IEC 61000-4-2 rating and no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Targeted at space-constrained, low-capacitance USB/MIPI interfaces - not for automotive or high-surge environments. | Choose TPD2E001DRYR for ultra-high-speed, low-capacitance applications where ESD severity is moderate and AEC-Q101 is not mandated. |
Compared with SMAJ22A-E3/57T and TPD2E001DRYR, the SMF22A-HE3_A08 uniquely balances compact DO-219AB size, AEC-Q101 qualification, ±30 kV ESD rating, and 271 pF capacitance - making it optimal for automotive and industrial high-speed serial interfaces where reliability, size, and signal fidelity are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMF22A-HE3_A08 under standard test conditions?
The SMF22A-HE3_A08 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 35.5 V when subjected to a 10/1000 μs waveform at its rated peak pulse current of 5.6 A. This value is measured per IEC 61000-4-5 and ensures downstream ICs remain within safe operating voltage limits during transient events. The SMF22A-HE3_A08 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of −65 °C to +175 °C.
Is the SMF22A-HE3_A08 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SMF22A-HE3_A08 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for human body model (HBM) ESD >8 kV (Class H3B). It operates reliably from −65 °C to +175 °C and meets stringent automotive environmental stress requirements, including thermal cycling and humidity testing. The SMF22A-HE3_A08 is widely used in automotive infotainment, ADAS camera links, and body control modules where certified transient protection is mandatory.
What package type does the SMF22A-HE3_A08 use, and is it compatible with standard SMT processes?
The SMF22A-HE3_A08 uses the DO-219AB package (also known as SOD-123W outline), measuring 3.9 × 1.9 × 1.08 mm. It is fully compatible with standard wave and reflow soldering processes, rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C (J-STD-020 MSL level 1), and supports automated pick-and-place assembly. The SMF22A-HE3_A08's low-profile design minimizes board space while maintaining mechanical robustness in vibration-prone environments.
How does the capacitance of the SMF22A-HE3_A08 affect high-speed signal integrity?
The SMF22A-HE3_A08 exhibits 271 pF typical capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz, which is well-suited for data rates up to 10 Mbps (e.g., RS-485, CAN FD) and moderate-speed interfaces like USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) when placed with minimal stub length. Its low capacitance avoids excessive signal rise-time degradation or insertion loss. For higher-speed protocols (e.g., USB 3.0, PCIe), lower-capacitance alternatives are recommended - but the SMF22A-HE3_A08 remains effective for cost-sensitive, robust protection where bandwidth is secondary to reliability.
Can the SMF22A-HE3_A08 be used for bidirectional protection?
The SMF22A-HE3_A08 is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not inherently bidirectional. However, it can be configured for bidirectional protection by connecting two devices anode-to-anode in series across the line and ground - a standard practice for RS-485 or CAN bus protection. In that configuration, each SMF22A-HE3_A08 clamps one polarity of transient, delivering symmetrical ±35.5 V clamping. This approach preserves the SMF22A-HE3_A08's low capacitance and AEC-Q101 qualification while achieving full bidirectional coverage.
